Carissas Interpretations: October 2008
http://carissasinterpretations.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Life isn't measured by the number of breaths we take,but by the number of things that leave us breathless. Monday, October 13, 2008. Beliefs with an update. What do I believe? What shaped my belief system? Life you live and it happens, somewhere along the way-unless you've been in a coma, things start to make sense and it shapes or changes the way you see things.

Natacha's Blog!: Persepolis I
http://natsblog123.blogspot.com/2008/10/persepolis-i.html
Wednesday, October 29, 2008. How does conflict forge identity? In Persepolis, I feel like these people are happy to serve and die for their rights in the revolution. For example, on the first panel on page 31. we see the people carrying the body of a dead man killed by the army in the midst of the revolution. The man was carried by a crowd of people, whom were proclaiming him a martyr. These men were born to drill and die. The unexplained glory flies above them. Also,[comparing Persepolis and "War Is Kin...

Ashley's Lit Blog: Part One Persepolis and Poems...
http://ashleylitblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/part-ne-persepolis-and-poems.html
Sunday, October 26, 2008. Part One Persepolis and Poems. The poems that were posted all spoke o the text as well. I think each had its own aproach, and addressed the 'good' and 'bad' aspects of war. I think that Satrapi thinks of the war as both good and bad in that she has her own beliefs about what should be happening and what should not be happening. The first part of the book was interesting, and I'll be curious to see how it ends. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The end is in sight.

Ashley's Lit Blog: Helena and Demetrius
http://ashleylitblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/helena-and-demetrius.html
Friday, November 14, 2008. So, after reading through A Midsummer Nights Dream,. In the play is a little crazy I think. She almost. Seems to be stalking him. Creepy? I think so. But i guess love can do that? This part of the scene there is an obvious struggle as Demetrius tries to get away from Helena. I think that Helena just wants to feel loved and have someone reciprocate her feelings for a change. Although her character. Seems a bit weird, I think that she just wants to be accepted. Thing about this p...

Natacha's Blog!: Gaiman vs. Shakespeare
http://natsblog123.blogspot.com/2008/11/gaiman-vs-shakespeare.html
Wednesday, November 19, 2008. Gaiman vs. Shakespeare. As I finished reading both Gaiman and Shakespeare's text, I saw a lot of differences including how they are written, the plots of the story, and the interpretation of the text. In my personal opinion, I liked reading Shakespeare's text better because it was the classic one, and it was more romantically themed! The graphics are great though, and they were cool to look at. I think they are both really good texts, but I liked the original better.

Ashley's Lit Blog: Persepolis and Neruda's Poem
http://ashleylitblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/persepolis-and-nerudas-poem.html
Wednesday, October 29, 2008. Persepolis and Neruda's Poem. Another line from his poem that I thought was similar was when Neruda says "Come and see the blood in the streets". This line is suggestive of all of the turmoil and grief that fills the streets and lives of people during war and conflict, conflict that is obviously affecting Marjane and her loved ones.

Natacha's Blog!: September 2008
http://natsblog123.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 29, 2008. As I was reading The Bluest Eye, I was definitely confused on the beginning of it! I also wondered why there aren't any chapters. It was pretty creative though that these were the seasons that took place in the book and let my imagination roll on as to what the weather was like for these people in the book. 1) What is the continuos pattern of American Born Chinese? 2) What is the universality of Yang's text? 3) How are all the three stories in Yang's text similar? I picked Eme...

Natacha's Blog!: A Midsummer Night's Dream
http://natsblog123.blogspot.com/2008/11/midsummer-nights-dream.html
Friday, November 14, 2008. A Midsummer Night's Dream. I wanted to write about Hermia and Lysander because I find their situation complicated! It sucks that Hermia's father is making her marry Demetrius, when Hermia and Lysander are clearly in love. It's either that or death which is weird to think about because if you love your child so much why would you have him/her condemned to death by "disobeying" you? Weird (Shakespeare, Act 1 scene i). It's a "so close yet so far away" kind of thing! I agree, I th...
