Post 24: The best plot in a movie

Harry potter movies have a great plot, I love watching them. The first one I remember the best (probably because I've read the book a few times as well). Of course the movie is based off of Harry finding out that he is a wizard and going to school to learn his abilities. This grabbed my attention from the beginning because although we know wizards aren't real, it had a nice story line and graphic animations to make you believe every spell was real, flying on the brooms was real, and all of the different things preformed were really happening before your eyes in the movie. With Harry being 11 and more movies to come, you get pulled in my the mystery of what being a wizard consists of. Although I was younger when they first started coming out with those movies, they still are very much a part of my life because they are so good to watch. He grows older through the movies along with everyone else like Ron, and Harmione. Harry starts out as a kid who lived with these terrible people and later finds out how his real parents are killed, and going to Hogwarts was a way that he didn't have to be with those people who didn't even treat him like a human. While watching that, you want better for Harry already, and Hogwarts (the school) teaches him so much about himself.

Post 15: Mythological elements in my own life...

Mythology is in our everyday lives, the entire story of our own lives is our myth. That doesn't necessarily mean that myths pertain to the literal part of our lives, but more so in how we experience events, such as our emotional reactions, and perceptions. Every time someone has asked me "what happened?", I construct a story in response around the event that has taken place, all of my memories are stories, that can be told to not only portray an event but to find meaning in what happened. I also have "heroes" in my life, my dad being the biggest one. I've always looked up to him and I am so thankful for everything he does and continues to do for me every single day. He instilled in my many things that have stayed with me, he passed on his own mythological elements in my upbringing. As mentioned in previous blog post, I moved down to GA from MD, and that was a huge part in writing my own story, my own myth, and has shaped me even more. That was an emotion...

Post 27: Most important thing I have learned...

I have learned a lot from this class. Professor Hamon at first I wasn't sure how much I would like you at first, but you grew on me. You had a different way of teaching and expected a lot from your students. You pushed us harder to get the grades you knew we could produce by giving us a 2, when you knew we could do better. I know that got my ass in gear for sure, I wanted to hate you for giving one of my documents a 2 as i'm sure many others did too. I can see why now, taking a second, third and fourth look back threw my own work I saw things I didn't at first, and as the class progressed I learned more of how to fix those things to make it right. You didn't expect anything that wasn't possible but you gave us that push and I am thankful for that. The actual content of the course, I don't know that what I took from poetry was a part of the lesson but I relate poetry to life, in a way that not everyone takes the same road to find the meaning, but at some point we...

Post 22: Irony

why talk of beauty what could be more beaut- iful than these heroic happy dead This is an example of irony, because it says "what could be more beautiful than these heroic happy dead", and to me that sounds like its generalizing all that are dead are happy. Followed by the next line saying " who rushed like lions to the roaring slaughter", how could anyone rushing to their own slaughter be a happy death, heroic yes. Happy, no. No one wants to die, but I guess it is assumed to be for good reason.
