Week 6

Topic 1
Anything is possible! But, in my lifetime I do not think our government will become like the government in V for Vendetta. Our government is definatly having major issues at this point in time but, I cannot see the United States going to such measures.
Topic 2
To make our society like the one in the novella we would undergo major changes. We would have to give up our independence and we would have nothing to look forward to. We would wake up in the morning and go to work come home go to sleep and then start all over. We would not have family lives which we are all accustom too which would make it an even more dificult change. Although very unrealistic, I can see the United States falling into the life style in "Anthem" before " V for Vendetta" any day.

Week 5

Topic 1
Individuality is very important. To be an individual does not mean one must be a complete outcast. You can be an individual without making anyone uncomfortable. If I were forced to choose between individuality or conformity, I would most definatly pick individuality. I am set in my ways and I do not change the way I am or what I do to fit in. It is important to me to stand up for what i believe in and do only what i am comfortable doing. I am and individual and most people would tell you I am different from most anyone they know. The would say that because I do not give into peer pressure nor do I care what the newest fashion is, I do what I like and what I am comfortable with. That is a very difficult question to answer but i feel confident I am an individual that normally does just the opposite of what is "cool".
Topic 2
If modern society were destroyed I would do my best to keep education going. We have learned too much for it to be forgotten while rebuilding. Education in a disaster could help prevent disasters in the future. If we did not keep education going in a crisis the world would fall back too the dark ages. We would have to learn the same thing we had already once known all over again. Education is so very important to keep going, we could not stop just because what we once knew was gone we would have to keep learning so we would not fall behind.

Week 4 Topic 1 & 2

Topic 1 - I believe, the lack of ability for one individual to open their mind to new ideas or a new concept of someone else is why we so call persecute others. We are somewhat offended or jealouse by people that are different from ourseleves or what we want. We are not willing to put ourselves in someone elses shoes to see what they see.

Topic 2- It is possible to end prejudice concepts but, it would not be possible in this generation. It would take several generations requiring a compleate and total rethinking of the way people think. The world is getting closer to becoming prejudice free in some aspects such as race and homosexuals but, there is still a long way to go. Our generation is now accepting the idea of people from different races to marry and have children. Just look, our new President is black, something people though would never happen. The world is in the process of changing already but, I will porbable never see the "prejudice free" world.

Week 3 Topic 3

When i was a little girl, my all time favorite literary character was Tom Sawyer. He was always exploring and getting into mischief. He had fun playing on the river with friends - which is one of my favorite things to do. He lead such a fun filled carefree life. The settings were always either on the river, in a small town, which always intrested me. Also all of the characters involving Tom Sawyer were always very interesting.

Week 3 Topic 1

For as long as I can remember, My Grandmother would tell us the story "Tar-Baby" by Uncle Remis(I think thats how you spell his name) I would ask her to tell me that story everytime I would see her and even ask her to tell it to my friends. It was my Favorite! When my Grandmother passed away I had my Aunt take me to the Library because I heard through my friends at school they were going to be telling the story "Tar Baby". I was so excited to be able to hear this story again. After the story teller had told the story I was amazed at all the books I saw. I asked my Aunt if we could take them all home. From that one story time I went back to the Library every week and would check out books and I would always ask for someone to help me find stories similar to "Tar-Baby" by Uncle Remiss.....

English 1102 Week 2 Topic 2

Although Works of art such as Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare were written as plays, then turned to movies I would consider them literature. Reality programs and newer films in today’s society I would not consider literature. Today society does not put into consideration making art, only drama.

English 1102 week 2 topic 1

Defiantly more, it is important to know the reasons behind the character, the scene, and all of the roles placed throughout a story. A great story includes all literary elements. Without these elements we would not have a way to tell a story affectively.
