Trifle

This story was very good. It showed how women tend to be looked down upon in the old days. I feel as though this story has a good message. We should never underestimate anyone because they may be very useful. I enjoyed the story and enjoyed the discussion.

A Rose For Emily

I don't understand why so many of my blogs where deleted...i remember doing this but alright. I remember not enjoying this story. I felt as if it didn't really draw me in and excite me to finish it. I remember feeling like this was one of the worst things we read this year and I just simply didn't enjoy it. However, the story showed setting very well so I understand why its in there.

The Lady with the Dog

This story wasn't saved on my blog site earlier and i am redoing it. I remember enjoying this stoyr because it seemed to have a very vivid setting. To me setting is one of the most important aspects of a story and it truly sets the tone for the story. This story was really well written and I loved reading it.

To His Coy Mistress

I enjoyed this poem a lot. I believe it was talking about purity and how it plays role in out lives. The line "the long preserved virginity" speaks of a part of purity in this woman's life. It shows that her beauty comes from this innocence and purity. I really enjoyed this poem although it wa shard to understand the first read through.

Death be not proud

I think that this poem was very good. I liked it alot and thought the message I got out of it was good. The message seemed to be about the horrors of war. It talks about sending good men in a living it up to chance wither they live or die. At the end I cont understand what it means by and death shall be no more, death, thou shalt die.

papa's waltz

I enjoyed the poem My Papa's Waltz. I thought that the lines we romped until the pans slid from the kitchen shelf was worded very interestingly. At first i thought this had nothing to do with what the poem was saying. Then i understood that it meant that they had lots of energy and duration. It shows that this family is very intense. At least I believe its a family. I was a little o=confused about what the ending implies and I think it might have an implication towards sex....btw professor I was sick today and that is also the reason why this is so late.

A Street Car Named Desire

I personally like the story and the movie. However, the difference between the written script and the movie bothers me. When I read the story I had a hard time understanding where people were and what they we doing. Also, the voices chosen for the movie I would never I have been able to pick. I personally think that plays were meant to be seen and not simply read. I feel as though the story was compelling enough to keep me interested in the story but the style of play writing is a little dry to me. I feel as though the movie kept me compelled and allowed the story to show its true color. I feel as though the story also has a interesting angle. I personally don't know who to sympathize with. I thought that Stan was a bad man at first however he finds out about Blanche. Also, I thought Blanche was good but it turns out she has a dark past. So I like how the story keeps the reader confused and makes them keep guessing. Also I wasn in class today because I was sick sorry...i will email you the paper.
