Too many names!!!

Oh my God I think this is one of the hardest stories I have ever read in my entire life!!! I could not keep the names or the citys straight i had to write everyone down in my notebook and keep going back to it to see who someone was and even if they were a boy of a girl. I was so confused through the whole thing and i hated every minute of it! The end was a shocker but i didnt like him anyway.. I believe the story is about pride and how it can eat at you if you let it. He knew deep down inside he didnt want to be that way yet he made his own fate

brain on over load

After reading all 4 of the Vietnamese stories i was feeling a little overwhelmed not to mention i was sick this week. But they all did send a good message i can just picture that little old Vietnamese grandma sitting in a rocking chair telling these stories to her grand kids to teach them the lessons of life. My fav was the 4th one because its a lesson that most aren't taught to the fullest but should be. once i finished all of those i read the guest which was actually very easy to read but...where was the rest of it? really was that it... i was actually into the story and wanted something deeper than what i got. I wanted to hear about how they started a beautiful friendship and lived happily ever after or something to that extent... nothing really happen. But i believe it delt with personal responcibility.. am im sure we will get deeper into that in class....with all that work down and my blog out of the way I NEED TO RELAX it was like all my professors decided to assign loads of homework this week ...of all weeks to be sick!

Get him some Meds!!!

what the hell did i just read...I seriously feel, after reading that, that i am crazy myself. That poor man has a lot of problems and the biggest problem is that he is so observant and very good a piecing together things that if he was in a right state of mind he would problem be an asset to society. I think that he is in fact a mad man but i think that the people around him did nothing to help him. No reassurance that they weren't there to harm him, no communication about anything involving his life, nothing! Poor guy! But as i was reading the story i actually began to believe what he was saying, and understanding where he was coming from i had to keep reminding myself that this man was out of his mind and that nothing he is piecing together is really the truth!...again...Poor guy!

He's Everywhere!!

Like i have mentioned in some responses, I love Shakespeare!!! It really makes me wonder that if there was never a Shakespeare and we never had his writings would we have the kind of story plots and movies that we do. Any and every movie i have ever seen has had some reflection of Shakespeare's work. From love gone wrong, to betrayal, to the tragic endings, most of our basic movie plots have a Shakespeare; which is why i love reading him so much i love to ponder about all the movies that have been created in this likelihood. Try renting the movie O its a modern Othello.. too funny!!
