ENG 102-15. I-Search Paper

Today I wrote my I-Search paper. Actually I realized that I really enjoyed this semester, while I was writing the I-Search paper. Writing the paper was very easy with many questions and it was helpful for realizing.

ENG 102-14. Presentation of group 5

The Presentation of Group 5 is very clear. The referance to the book of Jared Diamond , guns Germs and Steel was a great idea. With that example they can combine the lectures of SPS and ENG. I really liked the pictures of the presentation and I really love the background images. The ending was funny. We made such an ending in our presentation too=)
Points to improve, not equal speech time for every member. The sexual harrasment part was short. It is a very strong part and they can use that part a bit more and analyze maybe deeper.
Anyway thaks for such a good presentation=)

ENG 102-13. The depressing similarities P&P

Last week because of the bayram holiday we couldn't watch the movie "Precious" in our section and I couldn't come to other sections because I had different lectures so I decided to watch it by myself on Thursday. I confess that I cried lot while I was watching. It was impressed me so. The story of Precious and Pecola is really similar in many ways. Her father raped twice and she got 2 children one of them has Down Syndrom. Her mother physically abused her, she is black and want to be blond and skinny (American Dream). Everybody laugh at her because of fattnes and blackness like Pecola, boys laught at her because of her blackness and ugliness. I realized that African Americans live nowadays in such conditions.Additionally every individual is responsible for that.

ENG 102-12. Search for love

In the book "The Bluest eye" the characters Pauline, Pecola and Cholly are searching for love. But I want to ask what is love for YOU? What should it contains? In my opinion love is really special and personal. There is a kind of love which the love to your mom, dad, sister etc. The other one is the love to your boy-, girlfriend. Additionally love contains respect, compassion apprehension to lose, sacrifies and honesty. The lover afraids to touch because the affraid of hurting your loved one. It is not enough to define it but I want to mention the aspects of love contraverselly the understand of Cholly's love. There is no excuse Cholly's action. He raped his daughter twice and impregnant her also takes her virginity. What kind of love is that? I am really confused. I am also sad for Cholly because as Claudia mentioned in the book he is dangerously free. He felt so unworthy actually felt nothing even love or hate. So he doesn't knoe the love between dad and daughter or son so Cholly can't understand the love of the child and touched his Pecola. Cholly touched her and harm her but he cannot comprehend that.

ENG 102-11. I hate rainy days

What a weather is that? It is rainy but some times sunny too. I can not choose my clothes because the temperature is always changing:S

ENG 102-10. Seminar Presentation

We made our seminar presentation about the book " The Bluest Eye". Our theme was The Great Depression, Morrison's style and search for love of the characters Cholly, Pauline and Pecola. The writer's style is very impressive she uses metaphors, similes and imageries for explaining and transmitting the story to her readers. She used mostly the metaphor of seed, which means individuals, Pecola's womb etc. I really liked this writing style. There are many metaphors in the book like "earth" and "black dirt" but one of the metaphor was really make me think about it "martyrdom". Mrs. Breedlove goes regularly to Church she is a Church women type. On the other hand her husband Cholly is an alcholic and made mad things in his past ( still does anyway). Mrs. Breedlove thinks that she can save Cholly from hell with her help for quitting alcohol or make his life ordered. If he stops drinking then she wouldn't have any purpose in her life. She wants to be an "idol" humanbeing for God and Jesus so when Choll is a good person than she won't have any aim for cozy up Jesus. I think about that if my husband were Cholly what will I do? Am I help him for my religous belief? I really don't know that but I am sure about that I don't want such a partner.
