Post 4: Faulkner's Plot

My online source that I've chosen about Faulkner's plot was from http://figment.com/books/255-SOUTHERN-LITERATURE-lives-/chapters/366. To summarize what they stated about Faulkner's was that; the plot was structured in a way so that we would be able to know that there's many levels to this story. It went from the past, to the present. It's been made clear that in this story, the past is a living thing. The events that has happened yesterday in this story or to Emily's farther is affecting her today. Even during the story, when the narrator is telling the story they must explain the previous one from the present one to make sense. For example, "Alive, Miss Emily had been a tradition, a duty, and a care; a sort of hereditary obligation upon the town . . ." (Faulkner 91)
In regards to the book, it was stated that almost the similar thing just different way of stating. Overall, this is just a awesome story all around!

  1. I agree! Even though the story is "out of order", it really is an awesome story overall

  2. This was exactly how I felt reading my online source and the story. Everything in her life connected, from the privileged birthright all the way to her death. It in turn told me how an upstanding woman like her could commit premeditated murder.

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 2: Favorite Movie

When it comes to movies I rarely look at those. Although, I don't look at movies as much I do recall watching a movie entitled "Frozen", with my little cousin. This movie had tons of figurative language throughout it. There were similes throughout the entire movie. One of them that stuck out to me was when she used the wind to compare to her emotions. "The wind is howling like the swirling storm inside." The meaning of this particular figurative language was to express her emotions that she was having at the moment which were going crazy like the wind. Another form of figurative language that was used in this movie was metaphors. "She is cold", although she's comparing two things to indicate that she's cold, she's not using the words "like or as". These are just two to the figurative languages presented in this movie, with there literal meaning although there more.

Post 9: What Symbolizes You?

This post is actually one of my favorite ones thus far. When reading what this post was supposed to be about I didn't have any problem thinking about what item to choose. The item that I've chosen to elaborate on, because it symbolizes me well is; my tattoo on my wrist. On my left wrist I have a tattoo that says " Queen ". From the day I've gotten this tattoo I've thought of it as more than just a "tattoo". It symbolizes that I'm a " QUEEN and, whenever I feel myself settling for less I look down on my wrist, and I see those five letters and it makes me remember that...I'm a QUEEN and not to ever settle for anything less than what I expect or, know that I'm worthy of and to never allow anyone to tell me different.
