Into The Wild

1. My initial impression of the book was "Aw Man" but that is just because i dont enjoy reading books (except for hary potter and blackhawk down). After takeing a step back and listening to Ms. B read the "readers note" and i realized this is Creative Writing man. Everything we do in this class is worthwhile and fun. Although I admit I'm running a little behind on the reading, so far this book makes for a decent read.
2. Stories-Daniel tells lots of stories.
3. A theme that i see developing in this book is non-conformity. Doing what you want to do and not what others tell you seems to be playing a key role in how this story is going to play out.
4. I could relate this story to survivor man, maybe if this show was around back then he would have survived.
5.Well the only thing i could think of is that my uncle is a retierd special operator in the US Armed Forces. He has had to survive im sure in just as harsh conditions as Daniel
6.This could be related to what our special operations soldiers have to endure every day. The main and most important difference though is that they are highly trained and prepared for just about every and any scenario there is.
7. ok i will.

Fight Club

One of my most favorite movies ever is fight club. I think this movie was put together very well and had some great actors. Edward Norton happens to be my favorite actor too, so that helped.

In the movie fight club actor Edward Norton plays a 30 sumthing year old paper pusher who had a stable life but felt empty inside. He then developed severe sleep deprivation and meets a soap dealer/make who changes his life for ever. This "soap dealer" has an intricit plan to destroy all records of credit in the US to redistribute wealth across the nation to destroy the man. It all starts when the two create a "fight club" which later turns into a cult. Throughout the movie the character edward norton plays goes through hudge personality changes (if you will).

My opinion of the plot is that it was freakin awesome. It blew my mind when i felt like i had no idea what was going on the whole movie and then finally at the end it all just strung itself together, it was awesome.

Some themes identified in Fight club could be

A. Materialism

1. Jack defined via his stuff

2.He works at a “job he hates to buy shit he doesn’t need”

B. Tyler as his Identity

1. Everything that the narrorator wants to be

2. Tyler has a plan for his life and the Narrorator doesnt know what hes doing with his.

Main Characters:

1. The Narorator - A severly sleepdeprived man with the classic symptoms of depression who finds happieness in a bizzare club that he starts with his split personality partner Tyler.

2. Tyler Durden - A soap maker/bomb maker anarchist who helps to start fight club with The Narrorator. He turns out to be the narroators other personality

3. Marla Singer - A indirect love intrist for the Narrorator. The Narrorator would not recall but his other personality developed a sexual relationship with her while the narrorator developed a personal one.

The director producer and writer all did a very good job in tieing the whole film together. They had a stylistic way in the way the portrayed the characters.

“That was not just stuff in there, that was me. That condo was my life.”


“We used to read pornography, now it’s the Horchow collection.”

Differentials

the next 4 years will be very interesting. because i dont turn 18 until april i did not really care who won the presidential election because i really had no say or anything. I dont think these next 4 years will be ineteresting because the next president is black though, it doesnt make a difference even if he was green. I only think it will be ineteresting because the this country is gonna be ran majoritively by democrats. I cant make predictions on the future but i can say it will be interesting how higher taxes and such will actualy effect us or if it will at all. Another intersting thing will be how we get out of debt or if we ever do.

those are just some of the interesting topics that we will see changes in for bettre or worse in the next 4 years. and i would just like to take it one day at a time

Today has just dragged on and on. I have been really tired since staying up late into the morning on saturday. The more i type about it the slower things seem to get. I have 2.5 hours left of school. The class that follows creative writing is my least favorite of the day. Physical Universe ruines my day everyday. Its really too bad that i have such a good class right now but it gets ruined by the antisipation for the next. Its raining outside a lot so i hope i dont have to walk home. Once i do get home i'm going to take a nap but hopefully i can wake up. The last time i took a nap i didnt wake up until 9:30 p.m. I wish there was more time in the day. During my study hall a friend and i went out to get food. When we came back it was pouring rain. When we got up to the south lot door, some mean lady made us walk all the way to the northlot door in the rain because she thought we were skipping class. I couldnt believe that someone could be so unreasonable. Its weird how unreasonable (in general) teachers can be sometimes, but i guess students can be/are worse sometimes.

I dont know how im going to finish this poem. oh well.

OK so i just wrote a crap load of crap and accidentally x-ed out so i really just don't want to do this anymore because i just wrote so freaking much and it disappeared in a second. So im going to leave you with a picture

flyin with the fishes and swimin with the pigeons, My Ethical Dilema, My Narritive Essay.

An Ethical Delema

I debated it in my head for a long time and i realized that (in my opinion) if he got caught it would be funny as hell but if he got away with it then lucky for him. I'm not a snitch and i never will be. So once i got over the whole steeling issue everything about the theft became a lot more funny. Every store we walked into he would nype a piece of clothing or some goggles etc. Eventually we were all doing it. Some of us came home with expensive jackets, expensive goggles, and tons of Vail wear clothing. Everything was going fine until he tried to apply his ideas to restaurants, that is just something I'm not okay with.

My paragraph could use some more structure.

I could use some better descriptive words to give a better idea of the story.

I could try to make the story more engaging
