The Art of Blogging

When i started this class i realized that i would not like the idea of blogging at all, i still dont. It seems like a huge waste of technology and time if people write aimlessly about the things that have happened in their life, hoping some other weirdo will read it. I think the idea of blogging for College Lit is a good idea however because it allows the students to interact with oneanother with the computer medium and it s just another way of learning. Once I have finished my time with College Lit, I will be happy for the day that I wont have to blog anymore

Final Projects

With the school year closing in upon us it has struck me that my final project for College Lit is due tommmorrow. Now this is a bit problematic is the sense that i have not started it. James, Rachel, Mark and I are going to be making a trailor for the play, True West. Its going to be interesting to seee what parts of the play we want to incoporate into this trailor. We definitely need a lot of toasters and toast to pull it off. Hopefully all goes well and we can ace this final project and get an A on it, ya dig.

Forever Be A Changed Man

When I first walked into College Lit I though that it was going to be a boring reading class. But as i slowly saw how Uncle Kunkle analyzed these text with so much passion and thought that i finally caught on to the fad of reading books. Uncle Kunkle has made a metaphorsis in my life to the point in which I will look at what i read in a different lense, gaining different perspectives and seeing the bigger picture of a novel. When i graduate from this high school i will forever be a changed man that will appreciate the deeper meaning of a text and be able hear multiple sides of the topic and produce an arguement with textual evidnce to back my reasons.

Vonnegut's Ways

When Mr. Kunkle presented the class with such high regard for Kurt Vonnegut and how he made Kunkle meet his future wife, I had huge expectations coming into Slaughterhouse-Five. It turns out that Kunkle it the hammer on the head. I love the way Mr. Vonnegut can portray his message in a way that isn't overdemanding on your vocabulary and that allows for an easy, free following read. He can really go into trememdous detail about the most unimportant details in this stories but manages to describe just enough of the important details to keep the story going.  Mr. Kunkle has definitely sparked my interest in Vonnegut's work and I want to start reading more from him, and maybe I can find my soul mate along the way.

The Longest Day

The war movie I chose was The Longest Day about D-Day and the Normandy landings on 6 June 1944, during World War II. The stories of multiple soliders throughout the invasion are told, from Allie paratroopers  parachuting into Ste. Mere Englise, covert American missions, to the stories of Axis soliders defending their homelands. This film tries to portray the true story of the historic start of US involvement in the fight in Europe against the Axis powers. The goals of this film was to show the stories from both sides of the war and how each were effected by this warefare. When you relate this movie to Slaughterhouse-Five you can see that it is very much a glorified version of war. Mary O'Hare would not like this movie because it roles big hollywood stars like John Wan and Henry Fonda. SShe would see that this film portrays these boys as old, war heros that never feel pain, which is the complete opposite of how warefare actually is.
