The Crucible- Blog 2

Prompt - Describe one of your core beliefs. How is that belief see in your life?

   One of my core beliefs is the idea of "the Golden Rule." I believe that the whole "treat others the way you want to be treated," should not be taken lightly. I carry this through with me in life, and treat others the way I feel I should be treated. Whether or not I treat people the way they treat me, is different. 

  I feel as though, treating other people the way they treat me is not always a full on thing I should do. In the matter of kindness, respect, and anything good, then yes I will do so in return. Any negativity, rudeness, or disrespect I just return kindness to. 

  Overall, I tend to be positive and keep positivity in my life, and that is because of the fact that, in my life there tends to be a lot of stress, and I see the negativity in society or even at school sometimes. I just be myself and keep positive or keep quiet, in effort to not draw the wrong attention or get into any disputes.

Daisy In Relation to Gatsby

   For Gatsby, Daisy Buchanan is many things. She is a reminder of the past, a past love. She is the so to speak "apple of his eye," in a way. Although she is in a way much like Gatsby in wanting to be wealthy for the sake of materialism. They both are very realistic, so in a way I can imagine it's one of those relationships where it seems like more than it really is.   Gatsby merely is in love with the idea of Daisy and what she stands for. She is very materialistic and goes for money in order to fulfill her materialistic needs. On her end she may see Gatsby as a way to get back at her husband Tom for the affairs he has been having, but Gatsby seems to have some respect for the fact that she is with Tom, considering the fact that Pammy is the daughter of the two.

The Great Gatsby; Chapters 1-2 Blog Post

   Daisy Buchanan. She is the wife to Tom Buchanan, cousin of Nick Carraway, and romantic interest of Jay Gatsby who "happens" to live across the bay from the Buchanan residence. Daisy is married to Tom, but is mostly enrapturing him for the purpose of being happy by using his money. In chapter 2, Myrtle Wilson, Tom's "woman of the moment," as it can be said, brings up Daisy to Tom multiple times, in what to Tom would be a rather annoying and childish manner.   My opinion of Daisy is that she is the girl who was meant for the life opposing the life that she was born into. She has her way of getting what she wants, while on the surface seeming innocent in a way, as well as, very kind and outgoing.   I feel as though Myrtle is another example of one born into the life opposing the life she wants, and personally is a distractor, side fling for Tom. Myrtle is Tom's, change of pace we could say, and I say that because Myrtle and Tom are both married, however,...

Wasteland Documentary

 This blogpost is going to be an analysis of the Wasteland Documentary I watched for english class. In this blogpost the objectives are to describe the context of the piece, talk about the artist's purpose for the art, and analyze the story and the work.    This is an artist from New York, who goes to Brazil and collects recyclables from scavengers in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and turns them into art. He does this in effort to "change the lives of the people, with the same material that they deal with everyday," (Vik Muniz). His next plans include working with garbage. The idea is to " [take] people away... from where they are, {to show} them another world, another place," and to see how it affects them and changes them. The landfill they go to,  "Jardim Gramacho (Gramacho Gardens)," is the biggest landfill in the sense of square footage, and of intake of trash per day. The garbage that goes there is a mix of garbage of a millionaire and a low-end neig...
