High School Senior Predictions

I would have to say that the senior that is most comparable to my aspirations would be the architect-Nathan Rebelo. Him and I although have different majors planned I think that we both have similar life plans. I do have a plan of the college I want to go to and I also have a back-up plan like him if it all doesn't work out. I loved how he said that he wants to be an architect because he is leaving pieces of himself around the city and is able to show people his accomplishments in large. The person that I found most diluted was the actress- Shauana Casale. I think that she has some pretty high aspirations and she doesn't have any real concrete plans for her future, like a college or anything for theater arts. Also, on a personal opinion, I did not like her impersonation of Clarise on Silence of the Lams, I thought it was a little flat and unemotional. Also, the person that I found the most interesting was the Hair and Make-up artist- Raquel Renolds. I think that she was very nice and she fits the mold of a hair and make-up stylist too. It's also really cool that shes following in her Grandma's footsteps. I found it interesting that she doesn't have a lot of self-confidence and that she feels that she isn't pretty because I think she really is. Where I see myself in the future.. I really love the field of psychology and I'm really interested in art so I am thinking about going into the field of art therapy. I have a few schools that I have in mind at the moment, I'm just working on getting my test scores up so I can apply. I think it will be a good stable job that I will love and not get bored with.

Favorite Poem of the Quarter

Over all of the poems we have read over the quarter, I really enjoyed listening to "Here, Bullet". I love the way Turner uses such vivid imagry and parallels the shot of a gun to the insides of someones body. It almost alludes to the soldier and how he is sacraficing himself to the bullet. Offereing himself to the bullet. I love the way when you read the poem the images that enter you mind and the way Turner goes around his words. "Here, Bullet" really captures the soldiers mind in wartime.

Listen to them all day everyday

Columbine: Chapter Six

In chapter six "His Future", it talks about Dylan's prom experience, he takes his date Robyn and treats her so nicely. Everyone in the group accounts Dylan for being cheerful, nice and playful. He event talked about his future, going to Arizona with a friend who was going for Florida and also staying in touch with each other because they were all too good of a group of friends to let it go.

This chapter also talks about Eric's prom experience, although he did not go to prom he had his love interest, Susan over to hang out at his house and watch a few movies. From the books account Eric seemed cheerful and nice and even pecked Susan on the cheek when she left his house that night.

It also talked about after prom, where the adults held a function in the gym. It was a New York, New York themed gambling idea. Where all of the students went and gambled with fake money. The whole prom group went although they said the boys and girls mostly separated at the time and Eric joined the after prom group.

Reading about how both boys dealt with prom and how cheerful they were right before Tuesday seems really odd. I cant wait to read the rest of the book finding out about why the boys were so casual just days before they had planned to massacre the very school they had enjoyed many memories in and people that they shared the memories with.

Andy Warhol genius

I love his work. Although this is not one of his more common pieces, I love his use of colors.

Country Boys

This film centers around two boys Cody and Chris, who live in an abandoned coal town. For living in this poverty stricken town these boys acquire a stereotype of being ignorant rednecks. Both boys go to an alternate school called, David School, and they both are also not sure which grade they are in because of their lack of determination to study hard and because of family influences. Comparing the diction of the two boys, Cody and Chris are in some ways similar but also some way different. Cody expresses himself in a multitude of ways. One way is how he dresses, he dresses more gothic-ish: painting his nails black, spiking his hair, and the types of songs he sings. Also, when he speaks he is more articulate than Chris. Cody is also more socially aware, he has a girlfriend and has a firm idea of the way he wants to be seen.Chris is the opposite, he speaks rather slowly and he doesn't have as wide of a vocabulary as Chris does. His teachers tell him that he had the IQ of a seventh grader. Both boys besides their educational standing, have hard home lives as well. The majority of Cody' family is dead and Chris's family has to deal with his alcoholic father. Even though the boys are not mentally smart they have been through much more than most people could handle, therefore they are able to take care of themselves and they are emotionally smart.
