Brittanya's Blog: Every Little Hurricane
http://brittanyasblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/every-little-hurricane.html
Thursday, November 20, 2008. The story "Every Little Hurricane" as of now, is my favorite story read in class. The metaphors and symbolic language created a fantastic depiction of alcoholism. I grew up with alcoholism. In my family, not as Victor in Every Little Hurricane. Did, but I still did. Can easily pass, just like bad whether. In the beginning of the story, when the Victor speak of his uncle's fighting, he says that they were "slugging each other. Damage. With a stranger, you're. However, the pers...

Thursday, December 4, 2008. War What is it good for? After reading the first few chapters of Slaughter-House V, I was ecstatic. Finally, I get an opportunity to talk about my opinon on war. If you read my previous entries, I'm sure you already know my position. I am 100% against war. Sounds fishy to me. The government never seems to mention that there is oil over in Iraq. DING DING DING, looks like we've found the real reason for this pointless war. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I guess I need to read more.

Brittanya's Blog: my ironic life
http://brittanyasblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/my-ironic-life.html
Wednesday, November 26, 2008. First off, I have to ask why we are focusing on the Native American stories. From what I've noticed, it's either been Caucasian. Or native main characters. Either way, this story was something that really effected me. It talks of a kid, who knows his dad was a " partyer". When he was younger. Now, his father is tied down to a family and drinks. Eventually it strains the narrators parent's marriage. My parents divorced when I was 9 years old from my fathers consistent. Read, ...

Brittanya's Blog: Strip the Exterior
http://brittanyasblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/strip-exterior.html
Thursday, January 8, 2009. Every day millions of women wake up and get ready for the day. They spend hours picking out the perfect outfit, that they probably paid way too much for. Then proceed to put lotions and powders on their face to cover up their already beautiful skin. With other individual odds and ends in between. This is the process of a normal American female's. I am not going to sit here and blog about how much I hate that women are so self- conscious. Because that would be truly hypocritical.

Brittanya's Blog: A material world.
http://brittanyasblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/material-world.html
Thursday, November 6, 2008. Today I wrote a paper on the song. By John Lennon. If you have not heard this song, I highly recommend it. Here are the lyrics: http:/ www.songfacts.com/lyrics.php? I for one am sick of it. Think about it, we look up to celebrities, why? Because they are known in the media. How did they become known in the media? For having money and nice cars. It's just not something that I want to be a part of. Now, I am not about to say that I don't like my fair share of music. Rap is p...

Monday, January 19, 2009. Saint Elmo's Fire Controversy. Throughout the last few weeks of College Lit. we've been talking on and off about the effects of censorship. While in a deep conversation (like the many we have in that class.) I remembered reading about a movie that changed the way that critics looked at "freedom of speech". Saint Elmo's Fire. For most of you youngsters. Wrong This movie created such a censorship battle that with the directors complete disagreement, there was cuts from the film.

Brittanya's Blog: Government Secrets.
http://brittanyasblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/government-secrets.html
Friday, January 9, 2009. A couple weeks ago, we watched the movie. To be quite honest, it scared the living heck out of me. It came to my realization that we laugh off the fact that the military general loved chewing gum and the president was such a softy. They were the comic relifs. Take that all away though and look at the main plot. A general, in our military, releases a top secret nuclear bomb mission. Our government can't stop it, so what do they do? We also recently learned about the Cointelpro.
