This past weekend I went home. I ended up driving home at 3 in the morning because I missed my dog. My dog cloud is 7 years old, and when she sees me she just doesn't know what to do with herself. Once I got home my mom was kinda upset at me because of the time but then she was okay with it. I went to church in the morning with my mom everyone was pretty excited to see me because know one new I was coming home this weekend. I got to spend time with my family and my church family even got to see some of my friends, all in all I thought it was a good choice to drive home even though I was super tired from the drive.

theater

For my theater class I have to go see plays, and then critique them in a paper. The play I went to see today was about a man and his wife who came back to haunt him and his new wife as a ghost. His wife as a ghost went on and on teasing him, and trying to destroy his current relationship with his new wife. The ghost even tried to kill him so that he could be dead too. Instead of killing him she ended up killing his other wife, who then became a ghost as well. Now he had both of his wives haunting/ annoying him. They all began to realize they didn't really ever love each other, considering the affairs or silent treatments that went on in both relationships. So the husband called in a lady who freed him from his two wives and he moved far away where they couldn't follow him. It was a very interesting/funny play.

carrie

1. Comment on the various cinematic elements in the movie. What role does lighting, color, camera angles, and sound play in the story? It's okay if you don't know the technical terms. Talk about them to the best of your ability. Lighting seemed to be darker, kind of dim and contrasted.
2. What are some of the themes present in the film? The themes are to show the cruelness of people and also the niceness of them as well.
3. Carrie is a horror movie that defies the genre because it blurs the lines between the victims and the monsters. Who are the monsters in this film? Why do you think so? Refer to specific scenes in the movie. I think the mother and the mean girls are the monsters, because the mother was so protective and messed up with her ways that it made Carrie scared. Also the girls because they kept thinking of ways to torture Carrie instead of trying to be nice to her.
4. What are some recurring images or ideas in the film? What do you think these images or ideas symbolize? carries hair in her face as it moved more and more out of her face the more confident she became.
5. Choose a character other than Carrie. Examine that character's personality and motives and the purpose they serve to the rest of the plot. billy he saw what was wrong and noticed the pain everyone put carrie through. Even though he was motivated by his girlfriend to take her to the prom.
6. What are some criticisms you have of the film? it seemed unrealistic of how mean all the girls were

I went to East campus with my leadership FYE class. We walked around and got to see the first buildings on Western. In the old gym there is now a library, and in there we all looked at old newspaper clippings, pictures, and yearbooks. The gym/library was one of my favorite places because it reminded me of the the rec center but way smaller. I think the indoor track is what reminded me most about the rec. Im so glad we went to visit east campus on the day that we did because it was one of the nices days of the week, no jacket needed.
