DRAMA! DRAMA! DRAMA!

This play was excellent for our drama pod! There was drama left and right !  Overall, I liked the play. It was easy to keep reading. I always wanted to know what was going to happen next.  I didn't agree with almost anything Stanley did!  He was a madman like Blanche had said.  Blanche was also wrong in a lot of things that she did.  She shouldn't have lied to poor Mitch about everything. She also shouldn't believe that everyone should like her and that she is better than most.  I felt the most sorry for Stella.  The poor women is pregnant and her husband hits her and yells are her and throws temper tantrums when he doesn't get his way.  She also has to wait on Blanche.  She gets her everything she wants, and Blanche knows that she is pregnant! In my eyes, Blanche is crazy! I think the end of the play was good.  Unexpected, but good.

Drama is so easy to get into.  When I was in high school it seemed like teenage soap operas were getting popular.  My favorite ( still to this day) was The O.C.  Just filled with teenage drama, but it was so easy to get into because people have to deal with drama everyday =(.  It's how you deal with these things that make you who you really are.  It's sad to say, but I think everyone ( maybe not Mitch) would fail in dealing with their lives.

Fitzgerald

Every Fitzgerald story I have read I have fallen into.  The Great Gatsby is still my favorite, but the two we read for pod 6 were still pretty good.  For me it is so easy to fall into the stories.  Fitzgerald makes it so easy to picture the story and place yourself in his stories.   I liked Babylon Revisited more than Winter Dreams.  I just liked the story overall better.  I can only imagine what that time period must have felt like.  To be booming one day and the next lose everything ! People think that today is bad. Yikes!!!

Spring showers

Everyone knows the familiar saying, April showers bring May flowers.  The story Flowering Judas seems to be good to write about today since its raining out right now, just a tad bit .... haha.  This story seemed a little boring to me at first.  I like when there is conversation going on between characters and it seemed like it took forever to get some dialogue.  Once I got to read some dialogue the story picked up.  It was hard to follow at some parts, but I think I understood most of what was going on.  The dream at the end is tricky!  Its hard to know exactly what Porter is trying to get at with it.  I made a few stabs at it in the paper for this story. 

Dreams are something crazy! If you really sit and think about your dreams it's wild what our minds come up with.  They amaze me at least, and when you have a dream about something totally random and then the next day it happens. Crazy!!!

On a random note, I got a duck yesterday.  His name is psyduck, sigh for short.  I'm pertty sure my hedgehog and psyduck will get along just fine =). I'm not sure how long I'm going to keep Sigh, probably until he gets big and then I'll take him to a pond! If anyone wants a duck let me know =).
