yeay new book

Ok so i actually read this book the first day I bought it, and I loved it. So I am now rereading it and trying not to let the rest of the book effect my opinion.

The first two chapters where amazing I love how she brings her opinion about her father in right after his death. She als has a great way of wording thins, but I don't have the book on me at the moment to type an example, I will try to come back later and edit this entry.

I also like how she describes how close her family lives to her and how she shows it.

nest couple of chapters

Ok, so I have read the next chapters in "how to read comics," and I must say I have been very impressed by the amount of art work and they way things were written. So far the author has been very good at describing different types of comic books and they way they are written. However, even though many of his writings are interesting I still find them boring because a lot of this I already know, though, much of his writing is teaching me how to look at comic books differently and analize them.
In my dorm room I have a japenese anime book that I have read and I reread it and looked at it differently and I enjoyed the book much more.

yeay comic books

Ok so first off I love comic books and manga so reading this book was fun but also boring. This information is nothing new to me. But I liked how they put it in comic book style I thought that was a good idea. So this blog entry might be a little short because I really do not have much to say on the matter. The boring parts were the discripitve ones. I dislike when comic books are like that but atleast they have pictures to take your mind off the matter.

Richard's

First paragraph- I was really impressed with how descriptive she was, it really helped me get into the story. Why is this happening to the grandmother? I feel bad that she is losing her memory. I can connect to the family members because my grandfather lost his memory and I watched him forget his childrens names, just forget his whole family. I watched my mother weep silently...watching her father in pain. So I feel depressed for this family.
I like that Richards is not to scientifical. She is descriptive at just the right points. I enjoyed reading her short story.
It saddens me that she is losing her memory, I wish there was something that I could do. She keeps imagining things, it hurts me to see someone deteriorate like that.

Over all I think this was the best essay I have read in this class.

O.o new work

Ok so I read The American Man at Age Ten by Orlean and I hated it. I could not find a plot . What was the point?
Where is she going with this?
How is this ending a closing?
Does anyone else understand or interested in this short story?
Last week I accidently read "Bumping into Mr. Ravioli" to see what I wrote on that please refer to my previous post.
Benson:
I like that it was really short. My first opinion on her short story was what is wrong with her sister. Is she mentally healthy? Did something happen to her when she was younger?
What was the point of the ending?
Where is the conclusion?

Blog 2

Ok so I started to read the work of Gopnik and was right away pulled into the story. However, as the story progressed I started to lose interest. Gopnik started getting way to scientifical blabbering on about dull facts about imaginary friends.
Two pages later Gopnik is still filling this story with dry facts. Where is the interesting part?
Once again where is the interesting part?
Where is the plot?
Onto Richards... first 2 pages...depressing...why is this happening to the grandmother? I feel bad that she is losing her memory. I can connect to the family members because my grandfather lost his memory and I watched him forget his childrens names, just forget his whole family. I watched my mother weep silently...watching her father in pain. So I feel depressed for this family.
I like that Richards is not to scientifical. She is descriptive at just the right points. I enjoyed reading her short story.

First assignment O.o

My opinion on the work of Jo Ann Beard is that truthfully I did not find it interesting at all. her writing was so descriptive that it almost put me to sleep. She writes in reference to her dog, "She drinks prodigious amounts of water and pees in great volumes onto the folded blankets where she sleep." I find this sentence way to wordy . The majority of her sentence are long and boring almost as if she is being paid per word. Ahhhhh I truthfully hated her writing so hopefully I will have more to write about Cooper so I will be able to fulfill the writing requirements for a page.

Ok so it's been like 5 mins or so and I read the first 2 pages. My comments on that O.o I loved the Jewish part, made me laugh, probably because I am Jewish and have had many encounters with people pronouncing food and my middle name wrong. Anyways back to the story.

So I finished the required reading for this week and I must say that I loved Cooper's writing. I can not believe I actually enjoyed something a teacher assigned, kind of a shock. About the story, I loved the fact that it was not one of those straight love tales, there are to many of those, but in fact it was about a gay guy. The character made me feel like I just wanted to be there and explain to him that there is nothing wrong with being gay. However, I did not like the fact that his mother had a vibe that she did not want any child of hers to be gay.

The author put me directly in the story it was almost if as I could touch them. I definitely enjoyed this story. The story by Beard I was unable to relate to in any shape or form, however the story from Cooper I could relate to in the way that many of my friends and even some of my family members are gay.

Well that is todays blog entry and now I am going to finally get my lunch :)
