death of a salesman

quote: rather then quote anything I just wanted to talk about one of the messages of the play involving willy suicide.

question: why does it seem that peoples morality is often put tot the test

comment: this for me is a open ended question. Ive just been noticing this obsession with the theme of suicide and i wanted to ask the public any thoughts they have on. most of all, what is with culture even teenage cultures obsession with death!

death of a salesman

death of salesman

Quote: "Ive lost some wait."

Question: How can four words show you a decaying family.

Comment: I chose this quote because to me it after reading this characters part it shows how the character is being shown no affection by his father. He is not the favorite, people who say parents don't play favorites our kidding themselves. Its natural. We tend to admire pieces of ourselves in others. In this case Happy tells his father this and he immediately ignores to him and continues to talk to his other son Biff! Is it wrong to like those closer to ourselves!

revolution on canvas

quote: its my last day alive

question: why on eartth would any one think this "indie" thing is cool

comment: my freid catlin recently gave this book of poetry form the indie music scene called revoltion on canvass. i love petry and some of it was good but the whole thing realy wanted to make me shoot myself afterwards. i also hate labels. and i constantly hear people say things like there trying to be so indie. people our who they our and we should try to label them justs o we feel better about ourselves. i think its funny how someone can be labeld as indie when music is such a connecting force in the world yet we try to like only one kind all the time. be who you our, live you life, and to the people who wrote this poetry i found it good but i think that it was realy depressing and that bad things happen all the time but its what you make of them. so inted of just being misrible move on!

atonement-reading journal-love

Quote: "I'll wait for you. Come back."

Comment: how is it that six words can substian two people over a lifetime

Comment: In the novel Atonement by IAN MCEWAN six words do just that for Cecilia and Robbie, two star cross lovers torn apart by the innocent perspective of a child's imagination or by a young sister jealously. That's up for the reader to decided. but six words can be like life lines if they our words powered by love. Love is just like that. People live for allot of things and different things make different people happy but it seems to me that if loving and love were everyone driving motivation the world might just be a batter place

quote: "But hidden drawers, lockable diaries and cryptographic systems could not conceal from Briony the simple truth: she had no secrets.

question: why is it for some that a world of Oder is not enough. why the need to disturb the piece.

comment: i really do ask this for myself simply because i do not have the awns er for it. i belive sometimes it is easy to dismiss were not happy with our lives when there are things to hid. when were still not happy and there is no reason to frown that is when we star rt to wonder what is wrong with us. but is wrong to not settle for simplicity. is it OK to thrive in chaos?

reading journal-revoltion on canvas

quote: its a painful mistake on her part, to try and become someone just because that someone may be happier

question: what does this mean to me

comment: reason I like this quote so much is because it is so true. I often feel like it might be better just to be someone more happy with there place in the world only, as I often say there is no point in even trying to be someone your not because its simply obvious. So I guess the real question is what makes "them" happy and us "others" not happy. How do we fix it! We don't!

the mircle worker

quote "Water"

qusetion: how can one word have so much impact.

comment; in the miricle worker anne is a teacher who attempts to tech hellen a death, blind, and mute littlegirl how to cumincate with the world around her. anne wants to teach her to actualy know whats around her. her family just wants her to behave. she thoughs wild tantrums because she cant uderstand and no one understands her. they come so far and she noe behaves well so the family wants hellen back. on there last night together hellen finaly comuicates-the word is water and this is her break through.

crank

quote: her tongue curled easily behind my teeth, and her words melted between my lips
"my Friends call me Bree"

question: why is it we seem to fear that person inside us that has no rules or limitations. What so scary about actually being yourself and doing what you want, what you need, what you crave, what makes you happy in the way only you understand."

comment: i feel like the me that hidden is the me most people show. i think i am mire afraid of that person. the person i have never met. that Innocent little thing who believes one day they will catch falling stars. crank is a really good book. i think at some point we all are faced with are own version of "the monster" its how we deal with it.

reADING JOURNAL

quote: "There was much pleasure in caring for her. She forgot her five years of mortal life at once, or so it seemed, for she was mysteriously quiet."

Question: Why is that children can see past the messy human emotions of life, when there young, and just play?

Comments: To understand what I mean by this you must know what happened in that story. Louis was going to leave Lestat so Lestat gave him something to nurture and care for by turning a little girl into a vampire, she is only five. She does not have any of these feelings about what it means to take a human life like Louis does but savers it like Lestat. Why is that Claudia-the child- can just forget what it means to be human?!

Interview with the Vampire

The quote: "I knew peace only when I killed, only for that minute: and there was no question in my mind that the killing of anything else less then human being brought nothing but a vague longing, the discontent which had brought me so close to humans, to watch there lives through glass."

The question: " Why does Louis feel this way why Lestat feels nothing?

Comments: Vampires, these people of the night that "we" seem to chase after. The vampire is creature all of desire and no restrictions. So why is it that Anne Rice makes Louis so week, so human. Lestat is the exact opposite. Louis we collect to on a human Level but lestat is the true object of affection because he doesn't have that little voice in the back of our head telling us that what makes is happy is wrong. Is doing what makes you happy wrong. When i first thought of it the book almost seems not to be saying that life as a vampire is a curse but rather human empathy is but if you really think about it. I believe she is saying that the ability to not be selfish is the great es human trait. To me though is living a true life living a unhappy one. Maybe Lestat though in terms the stories villain is simply the only one being truthful. He does what is his nature and is diffing our nature, our happiness to live a life of regret, need of redemption and comforimty really whats best. I the best for the world.

interview with the vampire- qqc reading journal

quote: "most of us would much rather see somebody die than be the object of rudeness under our roofs"

question: What does the Vampire mean by this.

comment: I think in the vampires nature death is accustom. I think death is accustom to all are nature. we all most die one day but does the time we spend living need to be spent demeaning each other. The vampire Lestant is a kind of monster but a polite one. He may need to feed on blood to survive but he is always nice to those he kills in there last hour. At first I did not really understand this but just because he is this blood sucking immortal radiant being does not mean he needs to be mean in every way. With in the most vicious of me is a streak of a kind child.

I absoultltly recommend interview with the vampire.
Forget about Stephine Myer if you want a real writer and a great vampire story at its best the original queen of the vampire chronicles and rice is the way to go.

In the Count of Monte Cristo the quote "He sat on the edge of the bed and became a prey to deep and bitter melancholy." What does this mean and how did he even get hear in the first place. I think melancholy is, well, ahhhhhhhh! I want to say he feel into to some deep sobering despair of "quite" emotions. This whole book is about the nature of revenge and ones man journey to obtain it. What happened to him was sad He was locked up in a island prison to never be seen again, on his weding day no less, but I cant help but think that to life your life full of anger a resentment is about the same as living no life at all. but at the same time I cant say I would be that wiling to forgive. What about you, could you forgive the worst thing that was ever done t you and live as if nothing happened?

Hi

quote: that the televisions coversations promote incoherance and trivialty: that the phrase "serious television" is a contidiction in terms: and that television speakes on only one persistant voive-the voice of entertianment.

question: why is neil postoman have problems with televsion?

comment: i think that the author has a very jaded prespective on televsion-telvsion media that is really the exact aditude that makes "me and my fellow advertisers" have truble. i think that there so many wonderful things about televion how it can take you to such emotinal places. i do think it needs to be in moderation and it dependes on what you watch but there is such thing as "serious television" and there is deffinatley such thing as "GREAT" televsion. i could debate alot more about htis but and go deper into my opion but i will just say that i think that when your down and it seemes like there is nothing you can do to make you happy watching one of my favorite shows can sometimes help you deal with that and if there is something wrong about acsionaly letting your mind go to differnt places and worlds the smack the cuffs on me and charge me but i think neil postman ideas are not ones we should belive plus. add people know what there donig. we know who were minulating-"so to speak" and what we trying to seel and the brand culture we are trying to create!

Media
It’s funny how the word media is such a conundrum. Think about it on one hand there is the whole media is what you watch-so be careful what you expose yourself to. But then that’s it Media-the press-freedom of the press. Is Media the press though? Because today we said it was labels. Are we blind by the Media from the truth of our world? Has the Media become the truth of the world? Or is the whole thing over the top? Its true subliminal messages can be dangerous but they can be good. Today we agreed on is that Media is a way to communicate through technology. But that’s the thing. Sure the computer passed the message but it came from a person, me or you. Or the news might come from the TV, or a book or news paper might be made by a printing press but a person is reporting or wrote the story. Maybe the problem is that we say the media comes from technology but the truth is that the tools we get information from are the people working the machines, these wise men of thought. But maybe to that fact is why the media is dangerous in the first place because just like people everyone had a agenda weather they know it or not. But is that bad or is it life? Is media bad or is it knowledge. What is media? Maybe the point is to not know it and by not being aware that the media is around you good or bad. You see does it affect you when you see its there and that’s all you see or is everything you see and don’t realize is media bad. Or is media simply the person creativity inner into a design for the rest of the world to see. Is being under the infulnce of the media bad? Or is all media so there’s no difference. Is it like the movie today is media blinding us from the truth or is media simply the truth we have yet to except but most of all is there truth to the deal of over analyzing. Is it only affecting us because we are letting it? Are you above the media?

last reading jounral of semester one-i think

so i could not really find anthying to read that i liked but i did read a book called wait intill dark. i was good like twilght was good vampire love story but vampire stories at there best s in the hands of ann rice(iterview with the vampire). any way this book is about a girl who can read minds who falls for a vampire in a world were vampires and humans co-exsits because of the creation of a sinthetic blood called true blood. dont get me wrong it was a good book and the lead charcters bill and sookie are a great romance but even greater in the hands of allen ball(american beauty, six feet under) the hbo creatoer of true blood. what the acotrs bring to the charcter make it a hoter romance and more complex performances. the show isnt for the squemish or the type that cant handle movies like juno. it is a hbo show after all but if you are in to the whole vampre craz statred by twilight her is a actualy good screen version of a vampire human romance. twilght a better book then wait intill dark-sort of. hobs tue blood a ten times better screen(tv) adaption the twilght was a movie. what i am saying is i much enjoy seening the show then then book but mabye thats why you read the book first.

hi-long time since i have done this. so i read to books over break and they were THE ROAD and THE CURIOUS CASE OF BEN BUTTON and i will talk to you about the second one. i actually like the adaption more then their classic short stroy but the movie is more of toaltal re-write. a re-write of a total master who wrote the great gasbty and the last tycoon. some of my favorties but his writing is so distinct and is more meant to be read then saw. his is the master of the jazz age period andi wont even try to explain his Style you just have to read it(read his best the great gastby). his version of ben button has more to do with issues of class among other things-this is a coman traie he write bout but he also writes about domed loves very often then not. i highly recommend the short story because its this author who just writes magic with every word and because if you read thE book it will give you a better admiration fro the ambition and interesting place the movie was token and expanded to. the movie is a must see. so see it if you haven't. defiantly in my top five movies of the whole year long but worth it!
