week 7 theme of my favorite movie

One of my favorite movies thus far is wolf of wall street. It features an a-list cast and great visuals. The movie is quite long, but  its not hard to find the theme of the movie. The moral lesson I received from watching this film is people who lack resources (connections, education, social graces, good looks etc.) can achieve wild success.

Drummer Boy wears a necklace, his brother has the opposite piece of the necklace. Drummer Boy necklace is the yin symbol and his brother wears the yang symbol. "The symbol its self describes how opposites or contrary forces are actually complementary, interconnected with each other. To me and my brother we may be different at times but we will always be one," said Drummer Boy.

Datarius Hadley often wears a gold chain given to him by his grandmother. " It symbolizes commitment since when I wear it I sense that I can do anything I put my brain to," said Hadley. Gold can often symbolize wealth and luxury but its good to see that to Hadley, his gold chain symbolizes commitment.

Workshop six: Something I often wear and what it symbolize

I often wear ripped jeans. In my opinion ripped jeans symbolize a misfit. I have a pair of black ripped jeans which are my favorite pair of jeans. The color black symbolize a lot, but I'm associating the color black with my ripped jeans. Therefore my black ripped jeans symbolize style, mystery, and sexuality.

respone to peers vview on setting

In the story "Geese" the setting of the story is based in  Japan. Dina who is a native in Baltimore wants to moved to Japan because she wants to make a lot of money. said Jay P. I also was aware that the setting of Geese was in Japan, however I thought most of the setting was in Tokyo because Dina wanted to stay in the  city.

"The setting in Hemingway's "Soldier's Home", is in Oklahoma. It takes place in the summer of 1919. Most of the story takes place in the protagonist, Krebs's home, who was returned home from France and Germany from fighting in WWI", said Addison. In the begging of the story in mention Kansas but the story isn't set in Kansas its set in Oklahoma so I agree with Addison's statement.

Respond to 2 post: week 4

 I read Jay Styles blog post and she stated that, In the story " A rose for Emily"  by William Faulkner, Miss Emily had a negro slave named Tobe. It may be possible that William Faulkner himself and his family owned slaves because William Faulkner grew up in the southern state of Mississippi and owned farm land. I find it interesting  to know that this genus author could own slaves.

I also read Jay P blog post and he read a "Sorrowful Women" Jaylen said. In my story which is about a woman who is a housewife. The author who is now a full time writer, writes her story based on her mother and grandmother. Her grandmother was a housewife who cooked and cleaned similar to the woman in "A Sorrowful Woman". Many times authors use events that happen in there life first hand. This author witnessed her mother and grandmother live there life as a house wife.
