September 13, 2019

This week was a little challenging with the amount of writing. I think I’m good at writing, but I’m more used to writing a ten page paper, not a bunch of little assignments. I did two assignments relating to movies which I really enjoyed. LadyHawke is my mom’s favorite movie, so it was cool getting…

September 13, 2019

Although The Handmaid’s Tale is a novel originally published and set during the 80s, the T.V. Hulu show is set during modern times. Despite this, as Professor Bond pointed out on my Youtube Introduction, the overarching themes in The Handmaid’s Tale are overall the same. The Handmaid’s Tale is an aggressive and clear critique of …

For this challenge, I had to stare at my face in mirror for one minute and describe it as detailed and as honestly as I could! Freckles, freckles, and freckles are scattered around everywhere on her heart-shaped face. The tip of her nose, the bottom of her lips, and all about her forehead was littered …

I watched the first episode of The Eighties where the producers delved into the emergence of contemporary TV during this decade. The episode started off with the conclusion of MASH which was very popular during the 70s. In addition, the episode discussed the creation of sitcoms and day-time TV into society. The most resonating quote…

Probably something along the lines of “you wanna fight,” because I, a small human, jokingly say ... Read moreFamous Last Words
