Winding Down
The semester is coming to a close and I have had so many assignments to do. I submitted my final portfolio for Poetry, containing over ten poems, as well as five prose pieces about the writing process. It also contained a cover letter essay, with my reflections on my poetry and prose, as well as my self discoveries through out the course.
I’ve about finished my short story for my fiction class. All I need to do is some editing and it should be complete. I wrote a story that takes place in the early 1900’s in a rural setting. In the story Addy, a widowed mother who has lost her home is trying to still maintain her prior ordinary life. The antagonist is Wayne Robert’s, the owner of her house, who is letting her and her family stay there. He kidnapped her 15 year old daughter in an attempt to marry her. After finding and killing Robert and accidently shooting her own daughter, Addy now forced into a life of hiding.
I am also in the process of completing my essay for my American Literature class, which is also due tommorow. I have it written up, but it could use a revision. I chose to compare and contrast “Babylon Revisted” and “The Sun Also Rises” focuses on the theme of dissinlusionment and how it affects the major characters. In there states of dissinlusionment the one primary difference between the characters in “The Sun Also Rises” and “Babylon Revisited” is the desire and motivation to change. Charlie partially succeeds in his attempt to change,and possesses the drive to do so. However, Jake and Brett do not change, and it possible that neither are capable of changing, Brett for her emotional conflicts due to Jake’s impotence, which is something that he can not fix.
All of this work and I still have two exams to look forward to in my Physical Science class. WOOT!
