So today we are to figure out waht we already know about the movie we chose and its’ focus question well my focus question is does this movie change my percection of rather or not ghost are real or not i would say yez but my spiritual beliefs seem to make me have a block up on the ideas of rather or not this was real or not. I know that in the movie the main character did not believe in gosts and has been to many diffrent hotels were there clam to be abnormal ghost activity, he has been all over the world worte books and really made it known that he has researched ghost like activitys and could not find none out of his time of reseaching. Part of ones person belief system comes from our morales, the media, and research. I know that this movie has effected my morales, and once i do a little reseach and find out if this is a true story or not then it will also change my belief depending on what i find. I’m not trying to say this this movie has some type of hard message but all of the crazy things that go on in the movie could have you thinking people go through thing and experiance things and just because i have never experianced directly any abnormal activity in my life dose not mean that these events could not have happened to some one else in some other place even when ur thoughts are in ur head those thoughts are so real to the person. who am i to tell them that what they are thinking in out of this world sometines when u think others are crazy one u can turn crazy two u may b the one that is crazy or three they may be the ones who are in their right mind.

I agree
Yes I agree with the thesis “ like the yodeling and banjo picking that punctuate the soundtrack to Raising Arizona or the country bluegrass, folk, and gospel throughout O Brother, Where out tho? These moments of MUZAK codify the extreme and therefore comical stereotypes from which each character is derived”( Hainge 38). And (Alison Mcentire don’t be silly Blog prompt 3). The music in both of them is very different from each other in raising Arizona a lot of up tempo, non moral, police chasing sounds was a major part. In O Brother, Where art thou I noticed that the sound where a lot of on the godly side like when they were at the water and the saints were getting baptized, or when Everett saw his little girls’ on the stage at some event they were singing a godly song. Even throughout the movie certain dialogs took place that totally separated O Brother, Where Art Thou from Raising Arizona. In Raising Arizona some sound indicated that something was about to happen like as soon as Hi was going to get chased by the police, or when he was getting beat up by Smalls I thought that was funny. I also thought that each character played right into all of the set ups of the music. That allowed Raising Arizona, and O Brother, Where Art Thou to be two very funny movies. They displayed a sense of humor which is always good, and neither one of those movies felled to make me laugh.

psycho or not
I don’t know if the movie is a psycho-graphic film but what i do know is i never thought that a movie like that had so much detail to offer i feel that Raising Arizona tends to have a brod imagination but what ever the case is it didn’t drive me psycho which i can see where that can happen if you let it. so because i not going to let a movie help me determine sane or unsane i disagree and i would have to say that I’m just letting a movie be a movie i dont wanna look to much in to it and i don’t wanna Even think that if the things that was happening in the movie would happen in real life then we would have a major problem on our hands everyone would be running around in the state of their own minds and i don’t think that would be a good idea in the movie hi had everyone in there own stat of mind which is why the decisions they chose made no sense, they were contradicting themselves, the movie was funny though and it was a good movie to dissect but I’m a simple kind of gal i like straight and to the point when u have to think to much it takes the fun out of it for me but then again this is a English class and sometimes you have to do what ever you need to do so you can go where ever you need to go hopefully English 101 is a stepping stool but don’t get me wrong i am learning a lot and it is very healthy for me to expand my thoughts cause before this class i would have took days to post this blog i feel like I’m getting the hang of creative writing. but all in all the film to me just had a lot going on.

Focus ?
My Focus ? that I chose was, Who is the hero in this film I had know idea at first if there may even be a hero. In the movie it seem to be nothing but criminals all over. But, don’t get me wrong there were times when I thought that the criminals would get there act together. I saw the movie before along time ago but, I guess I did not pay any attention to the detail of the movie, so it was like watching it all over again. My perception of who the hero was continuously changing. first I thought it was high, then it seem like the police women would play apart as to being the hero. As the the movie went on to play more and more high had some criminal Friends that for a second I thought was going to turn the baby in, and my thought was right but they were only going to do it for the money so in my mind that really did not make them a hero. which led me to look at another person to see if they would be the hero. I saw the movie and it was a pleasure to watch but I’m not all that thrilled about it I rarely have anything to say because I barely got the concept of “Raising Arizona” to me it was just a movie with a open minded end. But back to my subject of who the hero is I cant really say because I’m not sure what would make them a hero. The only thing that makes me turn to saying that the heros are high and his wife is the fact that they returned the baby that they stole in the frist place. The reason I feel it would be fair to say that they were the hero’s was because they didn’t R.U.N.N.O.F.T. (lol) with Nathan Jr. and ruin his life. So in a since they saved his life by giveing him back to his family, and letting him be raised with morals, respect, goals,and dreams. P.S im not good at critical thinking and writing i rarely exsperss myself thruogh writing thats why im taking this class so if u see alot of mistake becuz i write how i talk escuze me im workin on it until nex time peace.

Eng101
Hello Eng101 class I am excited to be in this class. I cant wait to see what the semester will bring all of us and what we will all learn in the future of this class. I believe that this class will be a great asset to our life. Based on that fact that I was recomended to take mcentires’ class gives me good hope that she is a good teacher and will help me take my schooling to the next level. my name is Marzella Harris and I am going to school for my AA in ciminal justice. this is like my thrid quarter in school in 2000 I attended Pat Loves’ class where out of twenty students only 8 made it to graduation. I then went on to work at the Special Committment Center at McNiel Island for about three years. After decideing that I wanted to stay home and rise my children I di what i thought was best which was stay home. After staying home for more then four year’s i decided to come back to school in 2007 i came back for a quater took some quater’s off, and now in 2009 have decided once again to try the school thing out. I am a very kind , heeart warming person who loves to do anything for anybody when every I can i tend to ben over backwards more then I intend to. although sometimes I feel as if the my life could be so much better I also relize that my world could be so much worst so with that being said it is important to me to always be thankful for the good and all of the bad always.
