LAST POST ON IN CLASS STUFF!!!!

I'M SO HAPPY BECAUSE THIS IS THE LAST POST I HAVE TO WRITE ABOUT IN CLASS STUFF FOR THE REST OF THE QUARTER!!!! With that out of the way, I have to say that I am really glad ATPH is done. The book was excessive, not very exciting, and the drama between Alfonsa and Alejandra and Don Hector is getting old. I don't care that your family doesn't want you to be with John Grady. If you want to be with him, stick up for yourself and take a stand. Alejandra used John Grady as a friend with benefits, or just for sex. I'm tired of people saying that they loved each other, because if that was true she would have stood up to Don Hector. That is all.

ATPH

All the pretty horses is not a very good book. I know that I have not liked most of the books we have read this year, but it is probably because of all the work we have to do. We aren't reading for the fun of it, we are reading to closely examine the authors feelings, or writing essays about reoccurring themes which take away from the book. I think this classic cowboy story would be a bit better if there wasn't this side love story going on. I think Alejandra is just annoying. I don't like her, and I think her and John Grady's "thing" should just stop because it is getting on my nerves.

Colbert

Guess what?!?!?!?! I still hate this book a lot. I just don't see how anyone can find this repeated garbage funny. All he is doing is screaming about how the media is ruining america, and how the immigration problem is terrible and we need to do all we can to stop it. His conservative views on how the world is working really get annoying after a while, and I have to say I would have stopped reading this book a loooooong time ago, if it weren't for this project. Stephen Colbert, if you ever read this, You just lost another fan from this book.

O Brother last post

I kind of feel bad that I had to miss the best part of the movie. So I wanted to spend one more week commenting on it. Although I didn't think the book related with the movie that much, I still thought it was pretty humorous. I really liked the songs and plan on buying the soundtrack, which I already have one song from. I wish I could've seen the end of it, but based on what I heard it wasn't too amazing. I guess that's all I have to say about this movie.

Colbert

This book is getting on my nerves. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I really don't like this book anymore. As far as I'm concerned Stephen Colbert can keeping rampaging on things that don't effect his life. On his tv show I find it humorous, but in this book it is excessive, and not very witty. He just keeps going on about how old people or the family or race or the media are bad. I'm tired of it Stephen. Come up with something new!

University of Wisconsin- and O Brother Where art Thou?

So I went to the University of Wisconsin over the weekend, with my older brother, and I thought it was amazing. I've always loved the schools sports teams, which I try to show on occasion, and now I'm becoming obsessed with there campus. Even in the winter the campus was a delight, the students all seemed happy, even though it was freezing... and the rooms were pretty nice, but what impressed me most was the amount of change that is allowed on campus. You have such a wide selection of majors and classes to choose from, it's a wonder why someone would not like the campus.

O Brother-

O Brother Where art Thou has been kind of disappointing. Although I didn't get to see the end of the movie, I really think that the humor got dry, and that it wasn't very heavily based off of the Odyssey. My most prominent example is the cyclops and the bible salesmen. It is obvious that the two are based off of each other, but the salesmen beats down Delmar and Everett, steals there money, and gets away. Then way down the line they meat again and he is killed most likely by a burning cross. I just think that some of the things don't relate as much as they should or could, and that the movie is getting a bit dry.

Colbert's book

Unfortunately, it's past the first two weeks so I can't switch books anymore, because I really am tired of this book. All Colbert does is go on rants, which I don't really want to read, most of which are about old people, which makes me feel bad for agreeing with some of them. I also don't see the point of the book anymore. It has come to the point where it's not about him, it's just making his show seem better, and used as advertising to get more viewers onto his show, which to be honest, I find insulting. Hopefully he'll stop whining about random problems throughout the world, and will get back to what I wanted to read, his biography.
