The US of A

I would say that the current "theme" of the United States is Proceed with Caution.  I support our President, I support our troops, I stand during the national anthem and I pray for the division in the country be healed.  I believe that America is in place it has never been before and it is scary at times.

Faulkner and his plots

I am still waiting to receive my textbook from the Pony Express.  Having said that, I can tell what I think of Faulkner's style of "plotting" from what I read in A Rose for Emily.  Faulkner uses a method that engages the reader without taking them on a chronological ride though Emily's life. Staring with her death to ending with her death, Emily is portrayed through a series of events that paint a picture of her and how the town sees her.  This story proves that to have a great piece of literature, the ingredient of chronological timetables isn't always necessary and can, in fact, make for a remarkable story that enthralling the readers. http://www.public.coe.edu/~theller/essays/rose.html

Other's Symbols

I like Rhaeven's response to people asking if her piercings hurt. "Did that hurt?" My inner response is always "Of course getting poked by a needle would hurt!" Whenever I see someone with a piercing somewhere besides their earlobe, I ask myself, not the person, the same thing.  When I was 22 years old (long time ago), I pierced my belly button.  When I called to schedule the appointment I asked the lady, "Does it hurt?"  Her reply was, "nah."  She lied to me.  I have my ears pierced and if they closed up I would be chicken to pierce them again.  Thank God my mom did it when I was a toddler!   http://rhaeven.blogspot.com/2017/09/post-9-what-symbolizes-you.html https://engl1101gary.blogspot.com/ I'm not able to put this quote in my post for some reason but anyway, this blog by Gary reminds me of my husband.  Raised by a very militant father, my husband was always told that people with facial are often viewed as not trustworthy.

The Not So/Oh So Tragic Life Of...

After reading some of the stories in class so far, I have to say that none of the plots really compare to the plot of my life. My life, like most individual's, starts with my birth in 1980. I was a young parent, a young wife, a young widow, and now I am a young parent (to have kids in college), a newlywed (5 years), an older sophomore in college and when I graduate I will be considered older for starting a new career. I have had ups and downs in life but they have shaped me into who I am today. I like to think that if I were to sit down and put it on paper and bind it, my life would make for a best selling book!
