I thought that your project was very nice and official. I really enjoyed the point of view that you built around the society-literature video. It was also nice to see hoe official you were. Very nice job. This also leads me to ask, why does no one else besides you, Zander, and i have their videos posted to their blogs?!
ReplyDeleteI meant how! I meant how!
ReplyDeleteI really liked your presentation. I liked that you threw in your own opinions from your own experience with history, such as blacks still not fully being able to vote, into your analysis of the aspects of Modernism. It was also very easy to understand, and I liked the parallels that you drew to Grapes of Wrath. Also, I was glad that you mentioned that Modernism is very individualistic. People forget that sometimes.
ReplyDeleteYour "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" video was also very good. You made the symbolism within the poem very easy to understand, and I like how you tied the symbolism with the author's own life with his multi-racial heritage.
Your video on "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" was good as well. Your analysis of the relation between the conflict in the story and the conflicts people faced in that time period was also really good. Also, you made a good comparison between the man in the story and Ernest Hemingway himself.
And finally, your response to the question posed to us about society and literature. I really liked that you used your two Modernism works to talk about the question rather than making generalizations. It provided great examples since you had already analyzed both of them. It was a joy to watch it. Great job!
P.S.: Again, Mr. Langley, VoiceThread comment system spazzed on me. Thanks!
You should see how my friend Wesley Virgin's report launches with this SHOCKING and controversial VIDEO.
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of fact, Wesley was in the military-and shortly after leaving-he revealed hidden, "MIND CONTROL" tactics that the CIA and others used to get whatever they want.
THESE are the EXACT same tactics many celebrities (notably those who "come out of nothing") and top business people used to become wealthy and famous.
You probably know that you utilize only 10% of your brain.
That's because most of your brainpower is UNCONSCIOUS.
Maybe this expression has even taken place INSIDE your very own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head around 7 years ago, while riding a non-registered, beat-up bucket of a car with a suspended driver's license and with $3.20 on his banking card.
"I'm absolutely fed up with going through life paycheck to paycheck! Why can't I become successful?"
You took part in those types of conversations, ain't it right?
Your success story is waiting to start. You just need to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
