hmmmmm?

To start I want to talk about the 5 readings we did the other day. They were all very different but I had two favorites the Ghost, and Preparation. They both were different from our culture today, for example a lot of people today may not be apt to searching for a ghost they saw in the middle of the night, and I haven't heard of anyone Prepare there best friends body for burial unless they worked at the funeral home. Although they are different I think there might be some correlation between the two. It seemed as though they were both trying to find a connection with the dead, by the man searching for the young deceased girl's family, and the woman preparing her best friend and questioning there friendship. They were searching for some answer, and in there attempt to find answers they were slapped in the face with reality.
But the best part about both of these stories were there endings, the man being swallowed, and the woman finding out that her best friend had breast cancer.

Madman

I would like to start off by saying that it was great not having class on Tuesday the weather was beautiful. Anyways when reading this story I got the fact that the younger brother felt like everyone was out to get him and eat him. But at the same time I kept thinking to myself I know this story has to have some abstract type of meaning behind it, but I couldn't put my finger on it. That was until we had class, hearing every ones ideas about how this story about cannibalism relates to today's society. It also helped when he gave examples of how this type of story has been around for ever, how society trys to have people conform, and if they don't conform society will devour them and make them a part of themselves. Know wonder he is a Madman.

Poor Othello

This week went alot easier after I figured out how to read Shakespear. But I know that we were saying that Othello was more of the outsider but I really think that there might be two outsiders in this story, Iago and Othello. I understand how we see Othello as the ousider but I see Iago as an outsider too, he is out to get everyone else and nobody else is that evil so there for I believe he in a way is more of an outsider than Othello. Shakespears plays are always intersting but I think this one was one of the most interesting.
