I thought this was for dumb people

When i first heard about people who did blogs i would only hear about like perez hilton and the all famous gossip blogs that everyone would always talk about. And i hate the whole gossip scene. So when i heard we had to blog about things in class i was not to excited about it. At times it was really hard to write about the topics given because i got stuck on how i was suppose to comment on things we did in class. But a lot of the time it helped me to write out topics or opinions i felt about papers, class, or just my life in general. I liked the blogs when we got to write about our own thougths or days cause at times i had some great topics to write about. I liked the blogging though it let me tell things my way and think about new ideas outside of class and also seeing other peoples opinions in their blogs.

Class work

I felt as though the reviews in class were a lot of fun and i got some very good well i mean helpful feedback from a lot of my classmates. Also they were able to come up with some great ideas that i had not yet thought of for my papers. Also when i was reading through my proposal paper i realized i had a lot of work and i do mean a lot of work to do on it to get it any where near what it needs to be for a college paper. Also i do feel bad for whoever has to try and comment on my research paper because that thing is not pretty. And even though this switching papers and writing about the other ones paper may be helpful, its hard for me to really say what they should fix. I'm not even sure myself what they should do. But i really did enjoy the in class activities that we did, i felt as though they really helped me look at both my papers.

Last weekend fun

Last weekend i went up to the cage fights in Brookings. After a what seemed like a really long drive, we made it to the Shamerock and walked through the big windowed doors. At this point i saw my friends that i know and started to talk to them for a while. Soon the fighters were hustled up to the top room to be told how things would go down for the night and that they needed to start getting taped up so they could start the fights on time. Before the fights got started the fighters and order were annonced and then the national athem was presented. As this was being done the guy next to me was already drunk and only had two beers, but he decided that he was not going to stand or remove his hat because he was canadian. So my guy friend told him to stand up and show some respect. Well some words were exchanged between them and then they finally calmed. But this guy just didn't understand keep your mouth shut at a fight cause the people watching fights are just not ones to mess with. This guy just kept talking bad about my guy and i don't think he understood that i was going to tell him. So once the guy left to pee i confronted my friend and told him everything that was being said, so my guy friend came over and sat in the guys spot and when they guy came back he tried so hard to back his way out of the whole he had dug himself into. This guy knew he would get killed by my friend if they fought. Plus he didn't have his gf to back him up, she was the fighter of the relationship and she was one of the girl fighters of the night. (She got owned in her fight) Well my friend went back to his spot and the guy started talking bad about him and started to mock me, i looked over at him and said seriously ur drunk shut ur mouth now. Well he really didn't understand that and kept talking bad so i stood up and that got everyones attention, and i told him say one more thing about me i dare u! He just sat there and about a second later one of my guy friends grabbed me and pulled me outside to calm down and talk to me. When i went back to sit down the guy had left to watch his girl friend fight. And karma's a bitch his girl friend got owned in her fight and had to be taken to the hospital in the ambulance that had to come for her. I had so much fun at those cage fights last weekend.

Organization

I felt as though the new outline was way more helpful for me, and i was able to keep my paper a whole lot more organized. And i was able to write my paper a whole lot quicker than i usually would of had to when i just have a spider web of things as my outline. Then again it took a lot more time for me to complete this out line then when i just throw thoughs and ideas down about my other topics. But this way kept me so much more organized and should help my paper be easier to read. I really liked having the new outline to go through and have to write all my thoughts down and keep me so well organized.

Thesis

In Richard Conrnell's story "The Most Dangerous Game," it shows Zaroff showing off all his pride, but then Rainsford coming along and proving Zaroff that he's not all the he made himself out to be.

Analyizing

Going back and re-reading through the stories that we have recently read in class made me see a new perspective on the stories. I can now find new hidden meaning in them to create my own persepective on what i may think the author may be trying to get at. Even though this is all new so i have a feeling i may not be doing it right, its good to give me experience before i have to go and do it for my class i may be taking next semester. Sometimes i felt as though re-reading and trying to pick out key pieces were tough and i couldn't seem to find any i was always able to at least find a few in each story. Also it helped getting together with people and looking over the stories in order to see other peoples perspectives and voice my own opinion so we could make a conclusion about things.

Symbolism

Well i found that the white in the White Herion was to symolize the purity of everything in the story. The fact that sylvia was able to not tell the hunter where the bird was even if that ment her giving up the money that he offered her. Also the symbolism of the white i also felt like was part of sylvia exploring, she has the freedom like the bird does to roam where she wants to and find new things out in the forest. Just like the hunter says that the bird usually is not found in that area typically, but the bird had the freedom to move where it wanted to and it was in that area at the time. One last thing that i found of symbolism would have to be the white representing the different types of things that sylvia is able to do, her grandma gives her the freedom to go get the cow and take on many responsibilities that her brother would have had if he would have still been there. Showing her responsibility of everything like the bird did to get away from the hunter and not be seen.
