Thanks giving!

For my thanks giving break I decided to go to Colorado. I am currently typing this blog in Frisco, CO. It is possibly one of my most favorite spots on earth, it is so beautiful out here (see pictures) I love being out in the mountains with all the snow with my friends snowboarding its really a blast. Its nice to get a break from school and go snowboard. For thanksgiving dinner we had fondue, it was soooooooooo goood, forget turkey thats old news. I hope thanksgiving has been good for everyone else.

pg. 244 Young Goodman Brown

In goodman brown the main re-occuring theme that I found was evil and temptation. for example when he goes to meet with an evil man in the forest which represents evil and he is going to make an evil deal, he gives into his temptations and takes the staff from the man who was satan. other symbolism in the story are the ribbons on faith, and faith her self, they represent purity and well faith. Which Goodman Brown lets go of in the story.

Not so very Goodman Brown

This story was actually quite interesting because there was a lot to analyze in it . The major theme is everyone sins. For example at the end when there are other towns people at the evil meeting and Brown's wife faith. Faith also represents purity and goodness, and well his faith. When he goes to meet with the devil Brown abandons faith. The staff with the serpent represents temptation, like the serpent in the garden of Eden that tempted Eve to eat the apple. And the the meeting took place in the forest, which represents evil and sin as well. The story took place in Salem, ME which is basically the center for all the witch trails that took place back in the days of the puritans.

A Rose For Emily

I have only ever read one Faulkner piece and that was As I Lay Dying, and it wasn't very interesting. I enjoy a good classic but I'm not too particularly fond of Faulkner's works. A rose for emily is set in the south, like most of Faulkner's stories and books. The first interesting thing about the story is the narrator, who remains unknown throughout the story. He acts as the voice of the towns people, but can he be perhaps Tobe? a few times in the story he refers to her as Miss Emily. I guess I'll leave that up to your interpretation. I think the story was overall a bit creepy.

The most dangerous blog

For this blog I will be doing an anayalsis of the most dangerous game. I think the over all theme in the most dangerous game is violence, and cold heartedness. The general and Ivan were cold blooded killers who we're tired of hunting animals for they were too easy to hunt. So instead they hunted humans. Who does that? other than some sick messed up people. And Rainsford isn't for off for that, he still hunts animals but for the heck of it. So he ends up getting stranded on ship wreck island (btw that seems like some sort of foreshadowing, just the name makes it sound like the place isn't all too friendly) After being hunted rainsford ends up killing both of them, now the question is, is it because he did it for survival, or just because? thats left up to the readers interpretation, I think he did it just because he wanted to, the inner hunter in him came out, because deep down he wasn't any different than the general

BUFFy the vampire slayer

I enjoyed watching buffy in class on thursday, one: because it was halloween weekend, and two: it was a good break from talking about writing papers. I liked all the irony in the episode, it was very predictable and the production values were very low, it was very cheesy. I wouldn't mind watching it some more some time in class, other then irony there were also mirrors of the characters in it.

My Favortie book

Well I don't exactly have one all time favorite book, and I have read my fair share of books! I do how ever have a favorite author(s). Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, together they write thriller/suspense novels and have their own separate novels as well. Some of their works include, Relic, The Ice Limit, Brimstone, Mt. Dragon and they have many more all of which I have read, I can stay up into the we hours of the night reading, and in class to, although my teachers never approve of that haha. Anyways those are my two favorite authors for you!
