The way Alexi wrote, compares to what Hendrix did at woodstock because of the way they both changed things up a little. Hendrix made a much bigger impact on society as he changed the country’s song. What Alexi did is took off the sugarcoat on Native American literature. He shows the emberassment involved in alcoholism […]
Jimi Hendrix really took it to another level when he played his famous version of the star spangled banner at woodstock. Woodstock was a several day concert full of drugs and hippies. The big question is to whether Hendrix wanted to discrace his country’s song, or just give another version of a song that is […]
Lorca’s “Blood Wedding” deals mainly with the factors of going into weddings without choosing your partner and without the free choice to do what you really want. In blood wedding, the bride takes off with another guy during the reception after the wedding. The play goes on the idea that getting married is something your […]
In the chapter “Amusements”, their is definitely the trickster aspect present. In class I brought up the emberassment factor. I still believe that Sadie and Victor did not want to be emberassed by Dirty Joe being passed out and being with him. It seems like the sudden decision to put him on the roller coaster […]
I feel like this section had alot to do with the Native Americans pride and excpectations.

He had a different kind of swagger to him and he had tattoos. Nurse Ratched also knew since he arrived that he […]
In the story, The House of Spirits, Isabel Allende used the ideas of power, culture, and author very frequently. It is easy to see Estebans struggle for power throughout the book. His struggle to have full power over Clara and his raping of the peasent girls were both examples of his power struggle.
Culture plays a […]
This book so far has been slightly confusing. It seems wierd to me that Clara would stop talking? Whats the significant point for the reason she stops talking until she announces her marriage? Am I wrong for thinking Barrabas is the coolest person in the novel thus far? I mean who are we suppose to […]
Gregorio Cortez was looked at as a rebel and extreme badass in the corridos we read and looked at. In the movie we saw in class, he was looked at in two different ways. The defendant had him as innocent and everything he did was in self defense. I don’t agree with this as I […]
The “artriods” poem was extremely confusing. As far as being a poem this piece meant nothing to me. It was certainly neat, but not anything I would call poetry. I did, however, play the game on my own time and found it to be some what enjoyable. There is a lack of emphasis on the […]
