Top 5 Super Heros (In My Opinion)

1. Batman~ Batman is my defiant first for multiple reasons. One because Anne Hathaway starred in his most recent movie "The Dark Night Rises". Secondly,  because i like the fact that people call him a superhero, when really his financial advances let him pose as a superhuman. Lastly, I like him because of disturbing backstory. Every superhero needs a dark mysterious back story, and batman has one. 

2. Iron Man~ Some the reasons why i like Iron Man is the same  to why I like Batman. I like Iron Man because he is really astute in robotics and has a funny personality. Also, like batman I like how people claim that he is a superhero, but he is just really smart and knows how make robots.

3. Aquaman~ I love aquaman because, he is an underdog of all the superheros and everybody forgets about him. Yah... thats about it for Aquaman.

4. Wonder Woman~  Feminist Unite! Wonder Woman is the cliche favorite girls superhero because it was the first girl superhero created. She is really cool and I like her.

5. Poison Ivy~  She is a super villain yet super-tastic. I just like how her outfit is made of leaves! I think it is really great.

Outside work and reading


I have obtained the new book Allegiant that I read for 4 hours
And
I spent an hour and half on work outside work for English

The 3 stories I have read were very interesting, the one that was the most bold and stood out the most was the Black Veil, it was different creepy and fascinating all at once. It focused on the black veil so much it was almost like it was alive, how the narrator described every detail of it. This story was amazing and I received good ideas on how to put more vivid imagery in it. The next story I read was an Occurrence at Owl Creek. This story became very physiological at the end, when he ended be hung by the neck and dead, instead of escaping and returning home. Since I love physiological twist at the end of movies, I love at the end of books too. The last story I read was Ernest Hemmingway’s "Hills like White Elephants". As  a big Hemmingway fan I wanted to make sure I read this story. I found it really interesting and never clearly stated what they are talking about. Lastly, I liked going into the story knowing what they were talking about and recognizing it through the man and woman’s conversation.

I have read 45 minutes in the book called "Sociopath Next Door".This book is about studying the behavior of sociopaths and how difficult it is to see if they are doing it out of conscience and morals or doing it because they don't want other people to think down on them. I have done an hours worth of annotating short story and spent an extra 20 minutes on my short story.

The Rising and Falling Action for the Feckless

The Background Setting~In this distopian society, there is a revolution going on in England
The exposition~  Effie's two dads pushing her to go out and find a job.
Rising Action~ Leaders of revolution (Smith and Cook)  are wounded from previous attack and come upon Effie's house
Climax~ President Skull kills Cook
Falling Action~ Smith tries to revenge his friend, but is captured and tortured by vile government
Resolution~ The government erases the revolution from everyones mind, except for Effie's. Effie is immune to it, so they throw in a looney house.

Short Stories Orginality

      When I read these artistic short stories, I find them marked with originality. There peculiar plot lines, characters and their traits always shock me with fascination. Lets take the man with wings per say, how bizarre was that story. I later found out that this story had some metaphors in it. As the so called "angle" was the angle of death. The child of the two main characters in this was valetudinarian, but when the child began to recuperate, the angle of death began to grow ill. Once the child became in utter health the angle flew away into the sunset.

          Another bizarre story that kept me in awe of its remarkable ingenuity, was Harrison Beregon. This story was a prodigious example of dis-topian society. In this world everybody was equal, and if you were not you were handicapped with horrific things on you, of course the government was exempt from this horrible thing. A man named Harrison Beregon looked like a walking junkyard because he was so astute, handsome, and strong. One day, the anger inside of him exploded so much that he was sent to jail, later he broke out of jail. He went to a ballerina play declared himself as emperor and crowned his empress. During this his parents were watching all of this on the television at there house.  The high and mighty leader of the government shot them both as they were making out on the ceiling. 

          In retrospect, I find both of these story bizarre and astounding in multiple ways. They are original, and you will never find anything like this in everyday books

         I have spent two hours reading this week and have spent an hour embellishing my blog, doing our short stories, and adding to my notebook. So approximately 3 hours of work has been done towards english.
