Post 8 - What something that you carry on your person or in your pockets symbolizes for you

I am a simple girl who don't require much to make me happy. I had this friend that would buy me any and just about everything. One day she went shopping for one of her dinner parties and she purchased pocket size mirrors for all of her guest. I was not apart of the dinners but I was more her driver. She purchased these mirror about three years ago.I have this blue rubber looking mirror I keep in my purse. It was a gift from a very special person who I will never forget. That mirror symbolize all the shopping sprees I encounter with the person that gave me the mirror. It symbolize all the party favorites she would give her friends when giving a dinner party. The blue rubber mirror symbolize beauty. The beauty of the person that gave the mirror and the beauty of the person that's looking in the mirror (me). 



Not the one in the picture but similar.

Post 7- Wikipedia Article

The Wikipedia article I will be writing about is the Yellow Wallpaper. The Yellow Wallpaper is about a woman who thinks she's seeing a woman in the wallpaper. Her husband and brother both are doctors of high standards. She describes the house she's staying at as creepy. The story was written by Charlotte Gilman, who experienced a severe depression after the birth of her daughter. The character in the both is more like the author, she suffer from depression also. I think the store is more about the life of the author. The book is very interesting.

Post 6 - The setting of a Different Story We've Read

I recently read the "Yellow Wallpaper". In the Yellow Wallpaper, I could not figure out what the setting was at first. In the beginning the Narrator told the story as if she was moving in this big creepy house with her husband who was a doctor. I kept reading and she was telling the story that she was locked in a room. She also told the story that she was seeing a woman in the wallpaper. After I kept reading I realize the setting must be in a mental hospital. A setting is the location or period in which a play, film, or novel take place.

Post 5 - The Character in Story We've Read

The most recent story we've read was " The Fall of the House of Usher". The character in the story is Roderick Usher and the Narrator. The Narrator is the person who is telling the story about his beliefs of Roderick Usher and his experience of being around Usher. Roderick Usher is very educated and comes from a wealthy family. He was once a good looking man, his appearance later changed because of his insanity.  Usher's character believes in the supernatural because he sees and hears things. Madeline Usher was the twin sister of Roderick. Madeline is not mention much in the story except when she gets locked in the vault and then buried. Madeline's character seems to be mental also. The Narrator believes that his friend Usher has mental issues that are not resolved. The Narrator tries to rationalize the fantasies Usher is having. The Narrator really do not understand Usher but the Narrator is superstitious.

Post 4 - What I've learned about my Wikipedia topic

My topic is "Mending Wall". There is not much about this poem that I have found. I think I should change to something else that I feel comfortable with. There is no copyright dates, therefore no one knows when the author really wrote the poem. I found out that the author Robert Frost did his best work in London. I can find more information about the author than the poem. I really want to reconsider my topic.

Post 3- Short story or Poem

I had my mind made up to write about "A Good Man is hard to fine". I wanted write about that because I can relate. I know there is no such thing as a perfect man but a decent man would be nice to have. As women we try to uphold a certain standard but we keep fooling ourselves by thinking we have found that one. The saying says a Good Man is hard to fine, but if we meet a good one and don't know how to recognize him. Mr. Hamon wants us to write about the poem called" Mending Wall". Mending Wall was written by Robert Frost, there is not a true date of when it was written. As I read about Mr. Frost he loved to visit London and he wrote his best poems while visiting London. I would assumed that he was visiting London when he wrote this poem Mending Wall. I have never been to London but looking at the pictures, the building and the texture of brick the buildings are made of are much different from places in the United States. If you see certain pictures most homes has walls  next to it. I will assumed the walls he was speaking of was from  London. I will continue to research it more to understand the poem better and determine the reason for the poem.

Post 2- Protagonist

Protagonist is the leading character or major character in movie, novel, drama, or other fiction text. My favorite movie is the Color Purple. The movie told the life of a poor black woman named Celie.. Celie was being abused at the age of 14. She had two kids by the man she believed to be her father but later found out after his death that he was her stepfather. Celie is the protagonist in this movie. Celie character was a poor uneducated black woman that a had a very bad upbringing. Her stepfather rapes her and takes her babies away from her and give them to another couple to raise. She also had an abusive husband who she later leaves when she finds out he kept letters away from her that was written by her sister. Her only real family that she had left. Protagonist are the main figures or one of the prominent figures in a real situation.
