#WTCKin3 I thought this statement from the reading was interesting, "the struggle with a subject locked in a battle with its history." Just going to leave this here!
#WTCKin2 I think a lot of us are guilty of giving people chance after chance at becoming better even though more than likely they aren't going to change. I mean was Rufus awful to Dana? Uh yea. But she still thought there might be some good in him and that he might change.
#WTCKin1 This book is fascinating! I hate to use the word "like" but I like how we are seeing all these events from through Dana. I wonder how she is "time traveling". Maybe through her writing?! I'm not sure. This book has really grabbed my attention.
#WTCCes I think this statement is ironic "A civilization that chooses to close its eyes to its most crucial problems is a stricken civilization." Isn't it ironic that the US seems to not deal with any of their actual problems?!?!
#WTCKeynes It's interesting that this was published in 1930 and seeing how accurate his prediction was for today's society. Towards the end, he says that "it has already begun," Somehow, he knew where society was going!!
#WTCMag I like how the article gave us some insight on an artist and the artist's life. I think this lets viewers relate to the creator even more, rather than just viewing a creation with no insight of the person behind the piece.
#WTCRoom I think this reading just further supports the idea that women weren't treated equally and that men were seen as more intelligent. Very interesting read!
#WTCEliot I do think that Prufrock is insecure, but isn't everyone? I didn't feel like the entire poem was about his insecurity. I think it can also mean that at the end of the day, are we okay with our life? It was definitely a different approach to a "love song" but I don't
#WTCMarx I thought the way that Marx described labor was interesting. He uses words like unhappy, forced, & denying oneself. I felt like he was saying us humans work because we have to in order to gain external things, we don't work because we want to.
#WTCRom After reading these poems, I'm not sure what to get from them. Throughout all the writing, nature is described in it's purest, most natural way. So other than the writer's loving nature, I've got nothing! :(
#WTCFrank2 It's sad the monster dies because of the way Victor made him feel. Victor's death was completely because of his own actions (like the creation of the monster).
#WTCFrank1 Shelley's life was sad. I knew her mother had died because of child birth but I didn't know how death basically surrounded Shelley. Humans usually feel empathy towards anything, even "monsters" like Frankenstein. It's only natural that as we read this book,
WTCBlake I'm not really sure what to get from this reading. I think it was interesting though reading from the different points of view. It was pretty straight forward on pg 3 with the statement "how good is Heaven and evil is Hell."
#WTCMill From this reading I found that every living thing's idea of happiness is different. I think it's interesting that he uses the example on pg 11 of the happiness difference between a human and a beast.
#WTCEye3 It was intriguing to be able to read from Geraldine's pov. It has made me sad reading this book and article the past few days. My heart hurts for those who feel like they don't belong just because of who they are, where they come from, & how they look.
#WTCEye2 All throughout the novel, you can tell Pecola (I think that's her name.) is so obsessed with wanting to be pretty. Pecola even dislikes Maureen because she is everything Pecola wants to be.
#WTCEye1 I have only felt pain while reading this. It's sad that little girls compare themselves to what society thinks is beautiful. Pgs 42-44 the little girl feels she would be beautiful if she had blue eyes, lighter skin, etc.
