American Lit for Dr. Jerz, EL267/2005
The blogs I cholse all show how I have found a new way to lookat pieces of literature and not just read them for the story they have to tell but the one that lies under the surface.
THE GREAT GATSBY
I chose the entry Daisy who is She? In this entry I fould that the character Daisy was not who she pretended to be in the begining. Yes she was a refined lady of society but she was also self centered and only cared about protecting her place in society at the cost of anyone who got in her way.
A JURY OF HER PEERS
I found it very interesting at how it so differed from The Adding Machine where they wre willing to look for a reason that Zero Killed his boss, yet t hey only wnated to know why the wife did it in a Jury of her peers. I felt that it showed a definate double standard in this story.
BERNICE BOBS HER HAIR
Bernice what a character! That is how I saw this story. I found the way that Fitsgerald portrayed the women of the upper class during the 1920's was very interesting. It made me wonder if women still work so hard to get noticed by men or do we just move so fast that all the fun of the game are lost forever.
TECHNOLOGY IN THE EARLY 1900'S
People were very afraid of the ever changing world of the industrial revolution. I found it very interesting that they were so fearful of technology yet when we finally accepted it we went full force into it to the point that we will never be able to live without it.
THE WORLD TRADE CENTER
Iwould have to say that this is the poem that caught me off guard the most. How ironic it was that this man spoke of the hatered that the people of New York had for this set of buildings that overpowered the beautiful buildings of the past until it was brutlaly harmed by terroist. I must ask How do you think He feels now?
