Post 28: Colleagues Post About What They've Learned

During this semester we all learned something, whether it was about interpreting poems or even learning how to write in MLA Format. One of my colleagues named Jennifer Hutchinson said that this semester she learned " I would say the most important thing I have learned from this class is how literature is interpreted". I agree with Jennifer here because, in the beginning of this semester I would just read the poems just because, that's what was assigned. As time went on each Tuesday in class when Mr. Hamon would dissect the poem I'd learn more and more how to do the same and interpret what it was saying.The other colleague that I'm going to be using is Kayla Jackson who said; " I think the most important thing that I learned in this class was the point of plays". I too, initially thought they were for enjoyment but in this class, i realized that the sidenotes and actions that were displayed made us see things that the book couldn't.

Post 27: What I've Learned This Semester

This semester I've learned how to respect others opinions in class and actually hear them out. Normally I'm not too good with this, and this is one of my major flaws. This semester towards the end we began to do discusses in class about the story that we had to read for that weeks assessment and this is when everyone would share their opinions and talk about how they felt. This class has humbled me and allowed me to respect others opinions! Thanks, Mr. Hamon and I enjoyed this class with all of you!

Post26: Comparing Colleagues Post About Modern Women

When I was doing this post I decided to look at Demarshun for my male and for my female I chose Dainty. When reading Demarshun post his view on women was " the modern day woman in majority of households is the head of that household. I remember  there was a time, when the "man of the house" made decisions and those decisions was the law of that house". whereas, when reading Dainty post she feels as if  , "most women play the role of both wife and mother, but also as a contributing and equal member of the household and society". When reading each of these post they both shared a similar thought in regards to women having more say so, then  back in the day.

Post 25: Women in Modern Time

Today when it comes to the women role, it's definitely changed in the U.S.  Women back in the day were known to play the role as "housewife". Their main duty during that time was to stay at home, cook, clean, and to be their supportive to their husbands as they take care of their household. In today's time its different because women want to do more than stay at home, they actually want to go out and better themselves and receive a higher education. Unlike Nora, women are no longer looked at as not being capable to do certain things, because of them being women. They now receive more respect than back then.

Post 24: Best Plot In Movie

When it comes to a movie with one of the best plots I'd have to give it to "Gone Girl". This movie is so good that I could watch it over and over and not get tired of it. The plot was about A man wife named Amy who he considered to be perfect goes missing, philandering Nick becomes the prime suspect of this missing woman. What makes this so interesting is that although I thought he was the reasoning that she was missing due to how the movie was going THE PLOT HAD A TWIST!!! this made the movie even more suspense and good! The plot twist was that the wife Amy who was initially missing learned that her husband Nick had cheated on her. So she decided to disappear to make it look as if her husband Nick had killed her. Later on through the movie she returns back home to Nick her husband, meanwhile when she was away she'd murdered her ex boyfriend to make it look like he'd kidnapped her. Yes she's crazy!!!! But this plot was so good that it kept my attention through...

Post 23: Favorite Tv show

I'm not really a person who sits around watching Tv, because makeup is what excites me more. I love watching youtube all day trying to learn new things to do in regards to my makeup, or even improving somethings that I already know how to do. Although, this is the case I do have a favorite TV show which is First 48. The setting of this show really varies being that they actually go to the crime scene to solve the murders, but overall the setting is in the office of the detectives. This setting to me, gives suspense to what's about too happen, and it gives a actually mystery to solving this vase.

Post22: Song lyrics in E.E Cummings Poem

When I read this poem by E.E Cummings the reaction I got from it was that in someway it was mocking of conventional beliefs and how the society not only look at things but accept things as well. "thy sons acclaim your glorious name by gorry by jingo by gee by gosh by gum why talk of beauty what could be more heroic that the happy dead" from this statement Cumming's is saying that the United State of America's "Sons" obtain everything they happen to tell us to be proud of sadly through the act of violence and nothing can be more "heroic" which is stated in a very smart, yet sarcastic form. A song that holds irony of this particular poem would be ":Take me to church" by Hozier. When I first heard this song, it made me think of me somewhat. He said,"My lover's got humor, She's the giggle at a funeral, Know's everybody disapproval, I should've worshiped her sooner".  In this song it;s talking about how according to s...
