blog #6

I like the blogs more then anything out of this class. I think is way better then writing papers, and having quizzes all the time. Reading other classmates blogs, different points of views are extremely helpful. I expected this class have more long essay which I hate so very much. I think one paper and the blogs is enough. :-). Im hoping I get a better grade here then I did in 101.

I’m all alone in this world, she said,
Ain’t got nobody to share my bed,
Ain’t got nobody to hold my hand—
The truth of the matter’s
I ain’t got no man.

Big Boy opened his mouth and said,
Trouble with you is
You ain’t got no head!
If you had a head and used your mind
You could have me with you
All the time.

She answered, Babe, what must I do?

He said, Share your bed—
And your money, too.

Langston Hughes

blog #3 option A

From all the characters in the story "The Things They Carried" by Tim O' Brien I found that Kiowa was interesting. Kiowa was illustrated as a baptist. He carried The New Testament given to him by his father. He was an upfront, and honest solider. He carried his grandmothers distrust of the white man and his Grand fathers old hunting and feathered hatchet. Kiowa saw Ted Lavenders death and describes is annoyingly many times in an unsympathetic way "Boom Down" he says, it was like watching a rock fall. He is a flat character to me. He didn't change the way he acted upon things, even though he wish he was able to feel more sympathy for Ted Lavenders death the way Jimmy Cross did. I chose this character because he was kinda different being that he was religious I would've thought he was going have more reaction emotionally to the death of his friend.
