reflcetion #4 Decisions

So I couldn't asist class this week like I would've liked,but I did read the short stories,so I'm going to emphasize on what I learned about them.Lets start with The Storm,typical story about an affair which is obvious in the story.The whole plot takes place when a storm comes up and M'sieur Alcee seeks refuge in Calixta's Gallery. Seems like they both had a little history in the past and had a clash between the storm. I think the story is called The Storm,because that's what the lovers where feeling inside of them when they were doing their dirt.So,the Storm ends and M'sieur Alcee rides away Calixta's family returns to the gallery telling her all about the storm and how they spent it in a store.I guess the main characters are Calixta and Alcee and the whole plot is the affair they're having together.What did we learn?That in older times people use to cheat and still cheat.That sacret vow we take when we get married always gets broken in our society and it's good to know that in older times people were just as screwed up as they are now,only thing they get to ride away in a horse, we leave in a corrolla.There's some humor in the story if you read carefully.

Ok, Eveline is a young girl who sees her life passing by.She's a person afraid to take risk and make decisions.The story gets twisted when she has to make a choice whether to stay with her family or flee to another country with a sailor.At the end she is to afraid to make that decision and decides to stay with her family.Eveline was abused by her dad when she was small,her mom and brother died,so you can say she had a bad childhood and that's what made her so afraid of life.Now a day there's people who live behind their own shadow and are terrified to make a stand for themselves. Eveline is just another story telling us to stand up and learn from her mistakes.

Personal Opinion
Liars,cheaters have always been in our society since the begging of times,I think people have to learn how to be loyal.Start over, because no one can win with the purple properties,everyone wants the blue ones(joke=nothing to do with the stories.
Stand up and Shout,everyone is entitled to freedom of speech and we have to use it.
I've always been a loud mouth,but in a good way, I think everybody should learn how to defend themselves verbally.What I'm saying is to get educated,learn about the world and not be satisfied with you have and always look for more.That's just the way I think and encourage others to do the same.

Reflection #3 Wake me Up!!

Ok, so this weeks two stories that we covered had to do with lies and deceptions,I think everybody can agree with that.On one side we have Goodman Brown,typical person who's curious about new things and gives them a try,but aren't we all.Goodman Brown has a normal life and decided to take a chance with curiosity, on his way to the forest he finds out that everyone he knew was living a lie and decides he doesn't want to be part of whatever the whole town was doing.Thing is the story tells us that it was a merely a dream, but was it?.I think this story had to do with your religion and faith.At the end he lost his beliefs and religion,because of his illusion or was it? I guess ones beliefs have to go beyond just changing them because you had a weird dream or wahtever.

The Cask of Amontillado is a really good short story,I liked it just because it gets to the point.It all begins in a sort of carnival where this man called Montresor invites his friend Fortunato to his chambers to try some Sherry Amontillado(Which is some kind of Wine).The whole plot of the story is that Montresor wants to get revenge on Fortunato,because he insulted him.On the way to get the Amontillado he takes him to his Families Catacombs and chains him to all.After that Montresor made a wall of bricks to lock him up and so he got his revenge.Moral of the story?Choose your friends wisely and choose your words even wiser.This story only shows how peoples pride overcomes anything even friendship.Sometimes I just like to cruise alone,I mean I have my family and my friends,but at the moment of truth I roll alone because I can count on me to do anything.So,I guess That you should treat people the way you want them to treat you(The Golden Rule).

P.I
If you believe in something so sacred like your religion I don't a dream should change the way you live your life, that just means that your faith wasn't real.As for friends I have small circle apart from my family,and I think people have very little friends,although they know a lot of people.Times haven't changed much since half a century ago or ages back.

Reflection #2 Dying to Live?or Living to die?

Strange week I've had, but nevertheless another reflection to do.I'll start by saying that times have changed,I took the liberty this weekend & spoke with grandmother about her yesteryears and indeed she said people use ti have manners and moral in those days.She kept on reminiscing and told people use to be kind and grateful.So what's wrong with our society?It's called survivol of the fittest, people would do anything to survive,even if it means pushing you down on the floor to be first in line."A good man is hard to find" is a good story, what caught my attention about was the way the grandma tried to talk the Misfit out of killing her,just then you could see how she sold her soul to survive and the way no one faught for their lives even when they knew they were going to die.So next time you plan a trip keep to the schedule.

So have people gone crazy?all of the sudden I'm getting updated with what sick minds do all over the world.From husbands killing their wives & driving around town in their car to people keeping there husbands 4 years with them after they died.Yes,shocking, but true and you don't have to go to Ripley's believe it or not Museum."A rose for Emily" was weird, no doubt about that and in some way hard to understand, but if you read with patience you'd understand that she was locked up all her life,not only in her older years.Sometimes it's hard to let go someone you love and one must move one, but this crazy b#tch was insane.I don't know if I can give her the benefit of the doubt on this one, but I can say this story is not far away from reality and what people are willing to do for a couple of minutes with the person they love,etc...

Personal Opinion
The World has gone Mad!!!!desperate times,desperate measures & desperate people. Everyday there's a struggle to survive and personally I think we can do it without violence or war.Do I think times have changed? Yes,people aren't how they use to be,they would do anything to be on top and won't stop at any cause, you can even call a food chain,because that's what we've become animals.In all this mist of crazyness what the hell happend to the Cat!!he didn't get any punishement or get killed!!jejej just kidding I don't want the Animal Rights people on my back!So please have your both eyes wide opened.
PEACE
