Chew on that chapter 1

Chapter 1 of Chew on That was informative like how people would recognize the MC.Donald logo rather than the Christan cross. I knew about some things about what was really happening in fast food restaurant. For me, that was just review of something.

Bowling for Columbine review

Bowling for Columbine mad me think of the gun laws currently. I would recommend it because it brings a good point about guns and would probably use it for debates. I learned that America has more shooting deaths than any other country( I think) and how people in media rather care about people with a gun rather than, for example, pollution or a person drowning. I like how the filmmaker bring up his point about guns. What I didn't like was how horrifying the facts are such as the casualties in wars and the dead bodies dragging like a rag doll. This also got me mad about today and how they still allowed guns, for example, the state of Georgia allowing people to have guns in libraries, schools, etc. It got me thinking about if anyone learned since Columbine or even Sandy Hook.

Symbols in The Robber Bridegroom

 When you first read a book ,novel, comic, or newspaper, you don't really see the symbols. But once you read it more closely that  symbol are hidden in plain sight.In one such example, in The Grimm Brothers The Robber Bridegroom, the bird in the cage represents being trapped.In the story the bride hears a voice crying out " turn back, turn back, you young bridge. You're in a murderer's house." as a warning to not get killed. But, both brides simply ignore the warning,both brides ending up getting killed and eaten by the robber.

work in progress: What makes a story?


To me, the things that are important in a story are character development and plot. What I like about character development is that you can know the character more in depth. You can also relate that character to in real life.  You might even grow attachment of the character for; their personality, looks, and actions. These can also hate a certain character. Even sometimes might even pair up certain characters into a couple. But, you don’t have to be embarrassed with that because it’s your opinion and some people might like it, some not but it’s their opinion and should respect it.

What I like about plot is that it gets you intrigue in the story and it leaves you wondering what might happen next. Sometimes the plot can be good some can be bad. To me, the plot is the thing that lets readers liking the book because without a good plot, it’s just boring.
