Intended Topics

As all of you probably know of my topics already because i talk all the time in class. I apologize for that. As of my topics i intend to do self identity and concept of life. The reason i feel like doing these topics is due to the fact that i really felt that i got the most understanding in viewing these stories with the topics i chose. Alice and Wonderland and the Alchemist i feel share many of the same similarities and define both of the same topics that i want to write my paper on. Self identity was one of the topics that i chose and during the journey of each main character in each book they both discover each others self identity through the challenges and obstacles they faced. The reason why i chose concept of life was because each main character realized during their journey that it was the different things in life that made them happy other than other materials as if money and other materials life that. Those are my two topics and i feel i have plenty of evidence to back them up and is looking forward to writing my paper explaining my ideas. Bwalks signing out

The Alchemist

The Alchemist is finally starting to make sense to me. Im finally understanding the meaning of what an Alchemist is and what it represents. The Alchemist is a person who understands the universal language of the world and the soul of the world. Im starting to notice a couple different things that i have taken from this book. Santiago is finally starting to realize what his personal legend is and is starting to discover his treasure. Life is starting to make sense finally and everything everyone has told him is starting to make sense. Its interesting to me about the omens whether there good or bad and how to decipher the omens. Another thing im noticing is if the treasure that he is looking for really is what he thinks it is. I think hes going to realize soon the treasure that he is looking for is not a big pot of gold but some other object with the example to as a women. I started to realize what ryan said when he told us he doesn't want to tell us anything farther because it gives almost all the answers in the book when you read further. The book is starting to get more interesting and its all starting to come together i think the book is getting pretty good and i'm looking forward to what the ending has in store.

Comparing Alice

During the clip we watched in class it was interesting to see how Burton portrayed the characters in his movie. The Dormouse was very small in the movie when it seemed in the book with the pictures that the dormouse was a decent size and wasn't that small compared to the other characters as well. The hatter was very different in my opinion with the way he acted in the movie which in my opinion i didn't like it at all. In an honest opinion i thought of the Hatter in Burton's story very creepy and freaky. No Thanks. The March Hare was the character i liked the most in the movie clip that we watched i liked that he was very weird and very short with his answers and very cautious with what he said. Alice i picture the same in any format that i see her in. I didn't think she was very different in Burton's movie maybe other than her appearance but overall i viewed her as the same as the book itself. The Tea party in Burton's clip definitly gave me a better view of what the tea party was like in the story. Overall i think Alice and Wonderland is crazy in it self and is a very interesting story.

Alice and wonderland perspective

The character that i am going to be is the dormouse. The dormouse is at the lunch table with the march hare and hatter. Now from the dormouse point of view. "I would really like if these two dumb people would stop bugging me and using me as a couch. I am very tired and want to go to sleep in peace and quiet. Hmm as i sleep who is this new person who sits at the table. I have never seen a creature like this before she said she goes by the name Alice and claims to call her self a little girl. She seems very interesting and sporadic. She doesn't like to be bossed around at all by the hare and hatter which i don't like to either but have to deal with it because its 2 vs 1 and they are bigger than i am. O well eventually they will leave me alone once i start to fall asleep numerous times. Why do they wake me again and force to tell me a story...i have to think of one or else they wont leave me alone i think i will tell the old story i know about the teracle well. This is pointless to tell the girl is annoying and so are the hare and hatter. I think the girl finally had enough she finally got the hint to leave while im still stuck here getting tossed into a tea pot. One day they will receive harm for what they did you will see. Ill get them back one of these days."

Victorian Era

Well to be perfectly honest i do not know that much about the Victorian Era but ill give it my best shot. So bare with me!!! Well the Victorian Era was when the queen Victoria had  her reign of power and became very wealthy and powerful. This was the time when new art styles arouse and other ways to run a society. I was reading a little bit about the Victorian Era and they said to be the start of the modern era which i find very interesting. Different lifestyles came into play and people started living in the elegant era and became very petite and prestigious. It was a modern class of royalty. Middle classes starting growing and social classes were reforming and transforming. I found it very interesting how this era set the trend today of the social classes and jump started the world into the modern era. Queen Victoria is a boss. I might sound smart in this post but i did a little reading on this topic so that i would have something to write about because i had no clue before what the Victorian Era was all about.

My Favorite Book

My favorite book has to be the Bio on Micheal Jordan. I encountered this book when i was entering my freshmen year in high school. Why i like this book is, because i like learning about the process legendary athletes had taken and the road they took to get to there legendary status. It was real interesting learning about Micheal Jordan who in my opinion is the greatest basketball player ever. It was real interesting learning about his past and how he became who he is today. Also it was interesting to learn that he was cut from his high school team his freshmen year but persevered through it and become the greatest basketball player of all time. The Micheal Jordan bio is my favorite book for the reasons i described in my blog.
