Just another WordPress.com weblog. April 4, 2007. At 1:32 am by joei5. Cho also talked about something very important, body image. A lot of girls today are brainwashed to think that you’re only beautiful if you’re very skinny. When Cho was on television, I guess she dropped 30 pounds in 2 weeks, which is very unhealthy. She was conforming to society. She thought she looked good, but because the network didn’t agree, she had to change. 3 Comments ». April 4, 2007 at 12:48 pm. April 25, 2007 at 3:46 am.

Disgrace Continued… | joei

Just another WordPress.com weblog. March 19, 2007. At 12:40 am by joei5. I thought it was funny on page 72 where David thinks, “He does not like women who make no effort to be attractive.” Here he is talking about Bev Shaw who he later in the book has sex with? That’s just weird. Then on page 111, David says “Lucy, my dearest, why don’t you want to tell? On page 133 David says, “Lucy, Lucy, I plead with you! All in all, I just find it really interesting how he’s trying so hard to be a good father a...

Butler and the gender issue | Literary Criticism and Theory

Literary Criticism and Theory. Just another WordPress.com weblog. Butler and the gender issue April 4, 2007. 8212; megglez2008 @ 5:05 am. I was pretty surprised when I read Butler. She was kind of a breath of fresh air to me. I read her piece, and actually felt like I came away from it with something. I felt I grasped more of it than I questioned. This made me happy. Yay! So what did I think was the most interesting part? Can we look at gender without looking at the biological parts of humans? Or would I...

Literary Criticism and Theory. Just another WordPress.com weblog. A Blog about a Borg April 24, 2007. 8212; megglez2008 @ 3:59 am. Well what can I say about Donna Haraway? She’s crazy, insane, nuts, not to mention hard as hell to understand. I have to admit that of all the readings we’ve had, this was one of my least favorite. At the beginning of the semester a lot of the information was over my head, now I’m able to get a grasp on what I’m reading. On that note, let’s begin. I thought an interesting quo...

Literary Criticism and Theory. Just another WordPress.com weblog. Spiderman and His Inner Woman May 3, 2007. 8212; megglez2008 @ 1:13 pm. According to Judith Butler, we are instilled with our specific genders through the process of time. Men are expected to act a certain way, as are women. If we act differently than our allotted gender allocates, then we are looked down upon, and shunned from society. In essence, we are acting out our genders. However, he performs two different roles. As in other social ...

Fanon and The Symposium Tempests | Literary Criticism and Theory

Literary Criticism and Theory. Just another WordPress.com weblog. Fanon and The Symposium Tempests April 2, 2007. 8212; megglez2008 @ 2:17 pm. I chose to compare Frantz Fanon’s theory with the first segment of the English Spymposium. In this segment, Dr. David Morrow’s ENG 370: Literature and Empire class chose to act out a scene from William Shakespeare’s, The Tempest. They also acted a counterpart scene in Aime Cesaire’s A Tempest. This is true in the plays. They put that into his head. Fanon believed ...

Literary Criticism and Theory. Just another WordPress.com weblog. Falling asleep in my chair was my first mistake…. January 31, 2007. 8212; megglez2008 @ 3:11 pm. Okay, so I started reading Saussure last night after I got back from my night class. As I was reading, I could feel my eyelids closing over and over. It wasn’t because I found him boring, I actually was enjoying what I was reading. So I decided to put Saussure down, (I didn’t think he’d mind) and went to bed. Rhizomes and other concepts. I woul...

Literary Criticism and Theory. Just another WordPress.com weblog. I’m Bringing Sexy Back…haha. March 26, 2007. 8212; megglez2008 @ 2:21 pm. He said sex…hehehehe. For all of us with the minds of twelve year olds, I think that this was the exact reason that Foucault wrote this. When we were younger, sex was not something we talked about, or if we did, we were embarassed by it. It was taboo. It was censored. The end of Disgrace. 8212; megglez2008 @ 4:08 am.

Literary Criticism and Theory. Just another WordPress.com weblog. February 26, 2007. 8212; megglez2008 @ 3:14 pm. I’d like to start off with the fact that I’m sad I no longer get to look at pictures for my theory homework. It was a cruel step back into reality when I picked up this book last night. On that note, I think I hate Althusser. I went into this with an open mind. How bad could it be? If we continue the way we are, the pattern will never be broken.
