Juno Reader Response #3

Juno was a great movie, and it got me to thinking. I thought the whole time while watching it. I was unsure how to sit there comfortably while the whole whirl winded plot happened. I enjoyed the whole situation though. I found it interesting, yet funny. I thought to myself why would she do that! While I also thought to myself "what an idiot!" It makes you wonder what she was thinking through the whole movie.

Thought out the movie I can remember enjoying specific parts. I remember when the clerk at the little store told her " your ego is prego!" How do you not laugh at that? Then on the way home, while under distress, she act like she hung herself with a twizzler. Then there was a part I can't remember exactly what happend, but I do know that she became sick. Then she proceeded to vomit in a vase or something. Juno had its ups and downs, but after all I would recomend watching it.

The hall was silent until she heard a rumble, a very low loud rumble. It almost seemed to be completely across the school, but she could hear it coming. The tromping of the step,"Boom...Caaaboom....Boom... CAaaBooM" It was defiantly getting closer. She ran in destress screaming " AAAhhha Im  Dooommmed," but little did she know, she was running tword the beast. She then stopping on a dime, turned into the biology room. There in the biology room she was able to get into the chemicals, and get some sulfuric acid. She then ran out the other side of the room to the next hallway. There she held the beast once again. This time louder than before. Unsure what to do she turned around, and ran down the hallway. When she got to the end she turned right into the women's bathroom. There was no one there to help, and of course there was no service on her phone. She then proceeded to peek out. She didn't hear any noises until she seen the floor cleaner. which made a low rumble while it sucked up the water from the floor. The sound of foot steps was clear to be mistaken for the machine bumping the wall while making turns. The girl then went back to English class to work on homework.

I never watched the show "How I Ment You'r Mother" untill a couple days ago in class. I never relized just how funny it was. The whole time throught the show there were mixed emotions. The humor was all over the place, but easy to fallow. I found my self deply engaged, and wanted to watch the next.

I like how the hurmor wasn't based on just on topic. I like how it went from the buddies sex life to the real life problems. I enjoyed all the far fetch ideas they throw out in the air. I cant really say all the ones that sparked my attention on here! However I enjoyed this show, and plan to watch more.

RR#2; Bechdel/The Canary-Colored Caravan of Death

I think the title says enough! Its even hard to understand. I found this story very hard to fallow. I tried to read this story for two days and took little to nothing out of it. I was distracted by the photos the whole time. I found my self lost in the text.

I was unsure where to go next. Growing up I never liked comics, therefore I never learned how to read them. I found myself assuming how to comperhand them, and go figure I thought wrong! So stumbling through the captions I was able to see the story was about a girl that was from a strange family. Well for starters when the story started the girl was in a dream about her dad dying. Then from there it went on to tell about how her love for art was destroyed. Her father told her she was doing it wrong, he even went on to change it to the way he seen fit. I from then on was lost.

Thanks to the talk in class I was able to further understand it. In the class discussion I was able to see what exactly this girl was talking about, or what the moral of the story was. This girl came from a family that was not passionate, and she got very little love. This girl was almost depressed it seemed in my point of view, and she just wanted some attention. The story is almost sad because how the little girl was treated. On the last page it shows just how diverse they are, but the little girl just goes on doing her art.

Writing to me isn't a scare. I just feel self concious upon my topics I choose. I feel like my topics are far fetch, and some times odd. I remember once back in middle school I wanted to write about the new camaros. At the time thats all I wanted. Growing up cars, motor cycles, or anything that had a engine was the only thing that seemed to matter. I sruggled to stay on topic in english class. I didn't wanna learn what was being tought because I knew when I got home I woulndn't care about it anyway.

It wasnt untill probly late my souphmore year that I truly started to care. At this point it made it hard. I had my camaro which wast a 2011 like I had dreamed about, but it was the next best thing to me. It was a 1995 camaro Z28. It wasnt nothing special but it was mine. It only had 112,000 miles on that lt1, and that six speed was a blast. I cant tell you how often I dumped the clutch. You probly dont care but  I burnt off a set of tires in two months. My Bad!!

Back to writing, I'm starting to like it. I feel more comfortable now than I ever have. I just start to write and let free. Its great because I use to feel like this isn't what was ment to happen. I was always to I had to map it out, and write. Then after I wrote it out I had to re-write and do so again, and again.

MY PATH

Hi, I'm Dustin
I'm having a hard time adjusting to the college life. I have so much freedom, and I'm so busy. I'm attending this college to get my desired degree, I'm studying to become an electrical engineer. I noticed after my first week its best to stay on top of things, and not to give into procrastination. I enjoy this all, however at the same time i feel overwhelmed. Its hard to put into words what I feel, but I try. Im just a average student trying to get by. I'm sure there are many others out there feeling the same way, please comment and tell me about your self. After this week I can already tell I'm going to need some friends to get through this, or I may start to gray! >; )

Blogger!!!

Well being new to blogger, this is a headache! I'm getting better, but I have a long way to go. This being my second post I'm starting to like it. I feel comfortable just talking! So bear with me! Things will get better.

Reading Response 1

     After the reading,"The Secondhand Bookseller" to my surprise I enjoyed it. I found it hard to beleive how much I took for granite, and how deprived some people are. I know personally I would rather do unimportant things with my time. That alone made me that much more involved with this story.
   
     In this story I found it hard to stop reading, and wanted it to be longer. I found it incredible how mature this young girl was. She had wants just like every other girl today, but her priority was to learn. Not only that she also understood how her family was living, and what they could afford. At the time a book was not one of the priorities. I enjoyed reading the part where this little girl opened up to her mom and asked if she could get a new book. The little girl at this point was unsure what to expect because of there financial situation. However the little girl was pleased to hear her mother tell her she would be able to get one book per month. The child thought to her self and realized after the joy, that one book wouldn't take a month to read.

    The child then came up with a plan on how to save money to purchase more than just that one book a month. She decided to save her milk money, and even sell a pencil case. A while back the child noticed a secondhand bookstore. She surly thought she would be able to find something there to her interest, not only that she thought they would be cheap. So one day while her parents were out she decided to see what the store had to offer. There at the store she was pleased to see all the books, and there she was pleased to meet the owner of the store Albert. Albert was surprised to see this young girl in his store. He then proceeded to ask her if he could help her find something. She told him she was looking for any good book. He then found it hard to believe that this young girl really want a book, more so than anything else. He found a book she might like, and then proceeds to give her a break on the price.

    After three or four day the girl had it read twice, and was ready for the next book. The girl then proceeded to go back book store. when returning to the book store Albert was expecting the young girl to want a refund of the book. However to his surprise she was back for more. Albert then seeing in the girls eyes her true love for books went on to telling her she could barrow books. His only catch was she had to take care of them. The little girl was ecstatic, and seen him as a angel. After reading this section it made me appreciate everything I've been taking for granite.
