Post 25: Role of woman in modern family life...

The role of woman has changed drastically, from back in the day. Women were looked at before as the house keepers, as in the maids, the chefs, the keeper of the kids. While the men were the financial holders of the house, holding the status of the bread winners. Nowadays, women are not the soul care givers of the children, because women hold jobs now as well in order for the household to make it. Also the divorce rate is higher, so there are more single parents out there than there used to be. My mom kept our house in the divorce from my dad, and worked full-time to support my sister and I. My dad paid child support and still had part time custody. This split family style is more common than it used to be. Many married young, and began families young, while the fathers worked and supported them. The woman had strict routines involving all of the cleaning and cooking, as well as watching and teaching their children. Now it is more common for children to be left in daycare's while both parents work to be able to provide. The style that was portrayed by Nora in A Doll's House, was that she did not want to live the live of what was expected of a woman, back then. She had enough and just decided to leave her husband and children. She had needs of her own that weren't being met, so she wanted more out of life.

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 23: The setting of "The Office"

The Office, is the greatest show ever, in my opinion. If you have not seen it yet, you should! I binged watched all of the seasons on Netflix as much as I could until I was finished every episode. The setting of The Office takes place in a small paper company called Dunder Mifflin. It consist of groupings of desk, a receptionist desk, two office rooms and a break room. Majority of the show is played out through this building. I think that is important in making The Office the way it was because being in those tight knit quarters, the people who worked there were like one big dysfunctional family and this showed in many ways through out the show.

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...
