MRS.DALLOWAY

She is a very independent woman that why she buys her own flowers. We need more woman like this instead of depending on a man for everything. Mrs. Dalloway is a book that I have never reador heard of untill now. Maybe because I dont read novels unless I have too. This story jumps from person to person which leaves with the ability as to who is speaking and the person thoughts. You have to use imagination to foloow through, in the beginning so much happended all at the same time you just was what the hell is going on here. The one thing that stood out to me was that Peter liked her even though he was a lilttle on the crazy side. mrs. dalloway is to me trying to fit in with the social norm and just doesn't know how to exactly do that. so she is confused as to how people will look at her and her attitude towards life. As a college student we feel how are we going to fit in with the social norm. So we do what others do and hopes it works. I love how we are finally reading about a woman and something that makes sense other than the crazy wasteland

WasteLand pt.2

The wasteland is still confusing to me. After class on thursday I had a little more understanding of this poem. I understand the fact that everything will be better if it just dies. This is true because when everything dies then the worl d would be better because then there is nothing to do if everything and everyone is dead. But the wasteland is still a confusing poem to read and i will never read it again once i leave out of english 204. I dont beleive how elliot could think he was smarter than anybody with the type of work he publsihed. Also if he is poet how can he assume that the reader has already read the other authours works and have a clear understanding of these other writers. That was a dumb thing to think elliot if you are a poet. You are to explian yourself in such a way the reader can get an understanding of your works. When reading the wasteland you have the wrong picture in your mind and thats clearly wrong . No more T.S. Elliot!!!!!!

The wasteland

The Waste Land was a very confusing play for any human being even to lay their eyes on. I didn't understand what this poem was talking about. The poem was going from one thing to another like going from night to day without no purpose behind it at all.The seasons were the first thing that made me think, what do the seasons has to do with anything. April being the curliest month with flowers booming. That made about 5% sense to me. because that was actually true.

The fire sermon
This section had to take place on the side of the beach or some type of water. The words that the section starts off as if they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. the tent sank and rats were running pass. Oh how nasty that would be if you were on a vacation. This section was dumb also just like the rest of them were. When i first read the title I thought he was going to refer to when moses were speaking on the mountain top in the Bible. But guess not huh?


A Game of Chess
This section put me in the mind frame of the game chess because in chess you have high class and the lower class pieces. The upper class society has the nice things where as the low class had nothing. I got that two women were at the bar and it was about to close while they were having a conversation. Li husband is in the and the other woman asked her why did you get married if you didn't want any kids. In society everybody don't want kids or love kids. Most people get married for the wrong reason and LI got married for the right reason which is LOVE.

After reading this poem, I am left confused still and want to know what was the author thinking about when he wrote the poem. What was he thinking do anybody in the class know? does the author really even know?

Lesson Learned aka Beyond the Horizon

The play that I liked the most was Beyond The Horizon. The reason why is because this play has alot to do with my life when I went away to college for the first time. When I had to make a big choice that I wasnt use to, which was leaving my parents for the first time. Robert wanted to go and explore new things and his life but his brother Andrew wanted him to stay on the farm with the family. Robert wanted to become a man and being a man on his own.

As a college student I had to leave some things behind and follow my dreams that I wanted to do in life. When you are making a big decision in life you have to think about the people you are leaving behind and the things that will will be left behind. If the people really love you they will support you no matter what.

Robert parents really didnt want him to leave them because they were so used to him being there with them all the time. They knew they would have had to adjust to not seeing him on the daily anymore. The brothers shouldnt have let ruth come between them because blood is thicker than water no matter what.
This play really was meant for me to read because some of the same things that happened in the play happened to me in my life before. The most sad part was that andrew fell for Ruth when she didnt even really love him, she claimed to love andrew again. Then andrew didnt love her anymore so now the joke was on ruth. Thats what she gets for trying to break up a family and it backfired on her all in her face. Also Robert shouldnt have died he already went through alot of emotional stress , he should've have been the one to succeed in the play and ruth should have died.
All and all this play was a good one and it had some life learned lessons in there. Never let anyone come between your family and also follow your dreams no matter the situation. You only live life once so live it to the fullest.
