ENGL 1100: September 2009

Women in Middle Eastern Literature and Film. Wednesday, September 30, 2009. I watched the documentary tonight about the ongoing battle for oil in the Middle East called "Blood and Oil.". I thought it was really interesting how it related exactly to what we discussed in class on Tuesday. How we (the U.S.) puts shady people in power to help our own goal of maintaining the flow of oil into the U.S. and then we have to go back later and take out those people like Saddam and Osama who WE. While reading the no...

Sara Soenen - The Middle East in the West: Gold Dust
http://sarasoenen.blogspot.com/2009/10/gold-dust.html
Sara Soenen - The Middle East in the West. Monday, October 26, 2009. After reading the novel. I can really admit that I wasn't a big fan of the book. This may be because I missed out on the discussion on Tuesday, after reading other people blogs I thought that I missed a good class period! But, I guess I should go on and blog about my feelings toward the book. Again, a little slow at first, but overall a good read. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). War in the Land of Egypt.

Sara Soenen - The Middle East in the West: Paradise Now
http://sarasoenen.blogspot.com/2009/10/paradise-now.html
Sara Soenen - The Middle East in the West. Monday, October 26, 2009. I just finished watching Paradise Now, and again wow! This movie was very powerful, I almost cried haha. The movie was well done, and I think it would be extremely easy to show for a large group of students. Paradise Now would be an amazing way to actually get to the heart of the issue. Suicide, and suicide missions are completely hypocritical to any religion! Molly E. White. November 6, 2009 at 4:46 PM. December 3, 2009 at 12:56 PM.

Middle East Interpretations: Blood and Oil
http://middleeastinterpretations.blogspot.com/2009/10/blood-and-oil.html
Thursday, October 1, 2009. In George Herbert's science fiction novel, Dune. A character declares, "He who controls the spice controls the universe." Is that a summary of the role of oil in the world today? Are driven by their source of energy, the Roman empire by the need for slaves, the American empire by the need for oil. We have been given many justifications for the War in Iraq. Revenge for 9-11 (But Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9-11; in fact he was the enemy of Osama Bin Laden! Not only do ...

Middle East Interpretations: Israeli vs Palestinian Film
http://middleeastinterpretations.blogspot.com/2009/10/israeli-vs-palestinian-film.html
Wednesday, October 21, 2009. Israeli vs Palestinian Film. The Palestinian film Paradise Now. 2007) and the Israeli film Time of Favor. 2000) make for an interesting comparison. Paradise Now. Gives us images of life in the West Bank and how that world contrasts with Israel - images rarely seen by Americans. According to Wikipedia. The suicide bombing is motivated by the desperate economic and political conditions of Palestinians, channeled and perhaps used by religious extremists; in Time of Favor. The su...

Middle East Interpretations: "9 Parts of Desire" WMU Performance
http://middleeastinterpretations.blogspot.com/2009/09/9-parts-of-desire-wmu-performance.html
Saturday, September 26, 2009. 9 Parts of Desire" WMU Performance. Last night I attended WMU's performance of Heather Raffo. I thought the WMU actresses did a remarkable job. Obviously they had made a careful study of the situation of women in Iraq, worked hard on their accents and characterizations, and I found their performances compelling. There will be performances. Next week as well. After each performance there is an opportunity to talk with the actors. Buy your tickets. This play sounds awesome!
