role of women in modern family life.

The role of women in the modern family in today life is equal to men. Women are still trying to challenge men to be there dominant but it is not the same. Women and men have the rights but men are often seen as the foundation of every thing in modern family life. The women are the care takers in the family.

plot of your favorite movie.

My favorite movie so far has to be 47 Ronin, and the plot about the movie is In feudal Japan, Lord Asano rules his province with fairness. However, jealous Lord Kira (Tadanobu Asano) fears that the shogun favors Asano over him and hatches a plot that ends with Asano's ritual suicide. After Asano's death, his samurai, led by Oishi (Hiroyuki Sanada), are forced to live as outcasts. Oishi wanders for several years but realizes that he must turn to Kai (Keanu Reeves), a mixed-blood warrior he once rejected, to help him and his ronin comrades take revenge on Lord Kira.

1 post by Saturday about about the images 2 colleagues' discussed in their posts and how you differ. Use quotes.

Jay said, "images can mean a plethora of things depending on the viewers understanding. Imagery appeals to the five senses". I 100% agree with this statement because different people experience things differently in a way that it applies to their senses. Jay also used the poem "Heat" and thought that the heat is a feeling of touch, both of us had different feelings  and outlook toward the poem. 
Jahneha said, she "honestly cause I can look at something and take it one way then you can look at it in a totally different angle that how I see it", which is what Jay was saying, on how people look at things differently than others.  She choose the song lyric, "You know I got the sauce (sauce), you know I’m saucy And it’s always wet, a b**** never ever had to use lip gloss on it." I have no idea what that song is, but to her it could mean something very meaningful, but for me it means absolutely nothing, but everyone has their own opinion and feel for different things.

Write 1 post by Saturday responding to two colleagues' posts. Use quotes.

Adrian, wrote her post about "Hazel Tells Laverne" by Katharyn Howd Machan. She believes that Metamorphosis could be the mythological elements in this poem. She also gave an example of how this could be, "The frog tell her she have to kiss him and she would change into a princess." Everyone has heard or saw the princess and frog, and of course we all know that is a myth, it is just a story that people tell for entertainment, and a lesson learned.
Jahnesha, wrote her post from the poem, "How I Discovered Poetry" she mentioned that "it used one of mythological elements of using love in the first like by saying "It was like souls-kissing, the way word filled my mouth as Mrs. Purdy read from her mouth." This part of the poem uses imagery which is a form a mythological element and it provides the image of love and how love can feel, but some may say that love is a myth, and that it is an illusion in some cases. The way I feel about it is that it is like "souls-kissing",because it is a beautiful things, but I also feel as though it can be just an image or maybe an illusion.

Write 1 post by Wednesday about the use of mythological elements in one of this week's poems. Use quotes.

The mythological elements in Gwendolyn Brooks' "We Real Cool", seems like a myth of how people who are "cool" and play pool behave. The poem describes how those who play pool are the cool kids on the block. They are so cool that they are too cool for school, and there for the left school. It seems as though these people who are cool, stay out way to late playing pool, with potty mouths, "we sing sin" (Brooks 828). The cool kids on the block not only do all of those things but they also party often, jazzing to the beat in the summer of June. These cool kids know that this life style is fun and that everyone who is no one would love to be in their shoes, but they know that this life style comes with consequences. They know that with their life style that they choose, the will die soon.
