Coming back from tthe 60's

     As I said in the first part, I will be talking about the descrimination in the mini series, The 60's. The types of descrimination I will mention here are: against races, more specific, against African Americans; Against ideologies or ideology; And against women. 

     Lets start with the latter. Descrimination against women is a persistent bastard right now and I can give one cause. The adults of the last generation. For decades and for generations, kids have been raised in with the thought that boys shouldn't hurt girls, in an attempt to prevent this from happening. Well if girls hurt boys, what happens then? I believe that they didn't think about that. I know I am not making sense in showing you how this has to do with anything, but think about it. That special treatment that was given to girls may have caused some envy in little boys at that time. Causing them to be mean to girls, and that old line that "they're just kids", that line blinded many adults, causing ignorance towards it. Later on, when they're adults, these things that we tried to prevent, happen. 

        Anyways, moving on with the topic. Descrimination against women is represented in the film by the white men family. There are two girls affected by this. First off, is the white men family's second son, P's love mate, Pi. Her thoughts on things were cast aside by the leader of a revolutionary group that was against the war. Second is the white men family's mother, who was very submissive towards her husband's decisions, thoughts and opinions. 

          Moving on to the descrimination against ideologies. The one that's discriminated was " stopping the movement of USA troops into the war". The war in Vietnam didn't involve the USA, this one involved itself in the war. The idea of stopping the movement of troops to the war came from the fact that it wasn't justified. They never gave a reason as to why those men were sent to kill or be killed. Yet there were those that stood against that idea, for their pride as patriots. 

          Lastly, descrimination against African Americans. This one wasn't as shocking to me as the others. The film doesn't even cover it that much. But, it has a relly strong story to represent it. The event that was vivid in that time was Martin Luther King Jr's peaceful movement to protect the black men. Yet, the story in the series was a side story for the whole thing. The thing about it is that it included the differences in thoughts about how to follow the movement. One was the violent gangs that were moving around causing havoc. The other one was the peaceful and harmless comfrontation. Like always, the innocent die because of what the guilty did. That is why I said it's a strong story. Anyways, racism was everywhere in that society at the time, as if that's not clear enough. 

     So, thats pretty much all I had on this series. I liked it a little, it was enjoyable to watch with friends. I wouldn't watch it alone, sincerely speaking. It was filled with so many clichés that making jokes about it was worth while. Anyways, that was all I had. Thanks for reading! Angel out.

Going Back to "The 60's"

     I want to firstly explain my tittle, though it's pretty obvious. I was thinking about "Back to the future" when I was thinking of a title. Just randomly came to me, "oh! Back tomthe future...back to the 60's"

   
      Now, going into topic; I was watching the mini series called "The 60's".  I will not go into details regarding producers and publishing. Anyways, this series would be what I call a " could've happened " type of fiction. Why do I say this? Well, because it literally has a compilation of footage from real events combined with the footage filmed for the series. 

     If you ever see it or if you have seen it, you should be able to notice that the combinations of footage make it a parody. It ain't a funny parody, but it still is one. I say this because the events included in the film, were worse than how they appeared. But that's not the issue in this post, so I will stop digressing. 

     What I am supposed to write about in this two part post is the descrimination that is included in the series. There are three types of descrimination which I will focus on: Racist, against Ideologies, and against woman. Each one is very influential in the stories included in the series and I will explain how. But I'll leave that to the second part lf this post. See you then!

Let me give you my thoughts on this "keep up a blog in the internet" experience.

Salutations readers,

     I hope you have enjoyed any of my posts. Though they were mostly me ranting and raging, they had my real feelings conveyed in them. By now, you, the reader, must be thinking that this post is a goodbye, well it ain't. Goodbye means forget; I ain't gonna forget about this. I won't forget because it caused me a feeling, which I will express after I finish this introduction. This IS supposed to be the last and final post in this blog though IDK if it will truly be. What I know is that I am expected to say how my experience went.  

     The moment I was told that I ad to make a blog, all hell broke loose in my mind. This is the third time I've made a blog and the previews two weren't fun at all and I know why now. Back then, I didn't know how to have fun while talking about something. Neither did I know how to GRAPHICALLY express my feelings in written words nor was I smart enough to make a boring assignment, entertain me. You can probably guess what I'm about to say and yes (maybe), you are correct. I enjoyed this experience, to a certain point....but that's not the issue at the moment. Going back on topic; I did not want to do this assignment, for the reasons I already mentioned, but once I began ranting and raging, expressing myself in the grumpy way I like, it clicked on me that I misjudged the idea. 

     I did say that I enjoyed this assignment, but that doesn't mean that I am happy with it. In fact, I am very upset about it......actually, I am upset with some things about it. For starters, the rules. One of them is that the posts are supposed to be 300 or more words long. If you guys haven't noticed, most of my posts are shorter. I know that it is against the rules and I will have points taken off, but I can't help it. I sincerely believe that to make things interesting, pleasurable to read and efficient to give a message, it is best to keep it small. I am not the type that speaks a lot, nor do I have a lot of knowledge to give away, and that's not all. I am very stubborn about how I feel about things. 

     That last one affects me as I write my posts. If  I don't care about the content, if I find it boring or if I don't like it, I make a sloppy job. Yet, if I really don't want to do it, I rant in it. For example: the blog post about myself, I had fun ranting in that one. I said that I didn't want to give away information about myself and I do believe that I have the right to not do it. Still, that was not my best rant. The one that's going to be is this blog post, and you will know why. 

      Going back to the 300 or more words long posts; I am not sure if I made it clear, but what I wanted to say about it, is that for bad readers like me; that can't read fast and efficiently because they get easily distracted; it is best to give them something small to read. The problem is that it has to give them at least an accurate idea about what they did not read. So I have dedicated myself to make a writing style in which I can give you everything in small words. 

      Now, I will start my ranting. In this "keep a blog in the internet" experience, I have to comment in my peers' blog posts. Yeah...that's easy for anyone to do, but there's obviously a catch. I have to comment and in that comment, give feedback.....Okay, that's cool. It ain't that hard, but "OH! OH NO NO NO!" Bleh THAT!  YOU CAN'T JUST GIVE RANDOM FEEDBACK, YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW SOME PETER ELBOW'S TIPS ON HOW TO GIVE FEEDBACK! Thus, I have to read his tips and rules.  WELL....GUESS WHAT?! TL;DR. Anyways, I have to give feedback on what my peers wrote. I guess that I have to be polite and give productive feedback, but I can't. The problem is that I don't care and it is not my style. I like being honest when I communicate with someone, and saying nice things to someone's work that doesn't even entertain me is against me, all because someone says  I HAVE TO FOLLOW WHAT A GUY I DON'T GIVE THREE bubbles ABOUT, SAID?! I am sorry (no I'm not), but I won't do that. Yes, I know that since I never read his work, I am not in a position to go against it, but I still won't. 

       Let me give you an example. The professor asked us to write an essay, following what she wrote in a post on her blog. So it was a given that we had to read her post. I went ahead to read it the same day she gave the assignment, and there was a photo that was covering one of her paragraphs, so I wrote a comment. Forcing myself to be polite, I even stated that it was a feedback on how to improve the post itself so that the photo wouldn't force readers to either ignore the paragraph or copy paste it somewhere else to read it or even let the reader edit it so that the photo would disappear. She erased the comment and sent me a message saying that I had to learn how to give feedback, following THAT PERSON'S TIPS......and guess what else. SHE NEVER ERASED OR REARRANGED THE PHOTO IN THE POST. Well, ain't that delightful? 

     Now that I have raged, I want to say a few reminders. The first one, I don't ever want to do something like keeping a blog and following some ridiculous rules on how to make the posts. (EVERYONE HAS THEIR STYLE!) The second one, I will not read Peter Elbow's work. I am sorry Mr. Elbow if you ever read this, it is not your fault. (BUT FEEDBACK IS MEANT TO BE TAKEN IN ANY WAY IT COMES.) The third one, I LOVE RANTING AND RAGING, I AM HONEST AND HATE TALKING OR WRITING IN A WAY THAT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE ME. The last one, I am not against this activity, I would actually recommend it, but......THE THEMES IN ALL OF THESE THINGS I WAS TOLD TO READ OR WATCH WERE ALL REVOLVING AROUND DISCRIMINATION! A THEME THAT HAS HAUNTED MY LIFE FOR MORE THAN 7 YEARS, AND I'M NOT EVEN A VICTIM! I AM SO INCREDIBLY SICK OF THAT THEME, IT IS OVERUSED, FORCED UPON OTHERS AND HELL...IT MAY EVEN CAUSE MORE BULLYING. (whoever reads this, I want to tell you that I am not against anti-bullying or anything, please understand that in my junior and high school years I had to work with the theme in one course or another. I am tired of working with it, but if I am able to help someone that goes through such a thing I will help.) IT AIN'T EVEN A STRONG ISSUE ANYMORE FROM WHAT I KNOW. CAN'T YOU BE HAPPY WITH KNOWING THAT I WOULD HELP IF I CAN? ALSO, IT IS CLEAR TO ME THAT WHAT CAUSES ANY DISCRIMINATION IS HOW YOUR LIFE HAS BEEN. THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS EVIL CAUSED BY A WHIM, BUT THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE. MY POINT IS, I AM SICK OF THAT THEME.
  THANKS FOR .... WHATEVER.

Perfect murder.

"Trifles" by Glaspel. I did not enjoy reading it, I read it so long ago I dodnt remember the details, all I know is that it represents the perfect murder, where you kill and no one finds out.

The perfect murder for me is not this one though. The perfect murder for me is the one in "The lamb's leg". Where this married couple has a quarrel and the wife takes out a frozen lamb's leg and bumps her husband's head and ends up killing him. To cover herself she cooks the leg and calls the police, While they investigate amd fimd a piece of ice on the victim's head, they sit down to eat the leg. BAM! Perfect murder! You see, I prefer this one because it's very unusual and you will rarely know that it has happened.....unlike in Trifles. In "Trifles" the murder can be either a suicide or a homocide dressed as a suicide, since its a rope hang. Up to this day you can find that very common. YOU READING THIS, SUICIDAL PEOPLE!? IF YOU'RE GONNA DO IT, MAKE IT INTERESTING!
Also, that the wife said that she was sleeping while someone hung her husband, that's either bad plagiarism or just horrible cliches. My point is, that the perfect murder should be very creative. Thank you.
_________________________________________________________________________________

Due to technical problems, I couldn't respond to you guys. I will do it here.

I am gonna be myself and be stubborn about it. I won't change or add any more in this post because all the other details bored me. I am sorry. Thank you

Le journal

The journal.....ok.

In the class we all had to keep a journal in where we had to write an entry for ten minutes each, five times a week until we had at least 40 entries. Now I have to write a reflection about it.

Well, to be honest, it was good at the beginning but then it just got annoying. I couldnt care any less about writing in a journal to express myself, I do it daily without it. If its to sort out my thoughts, you'd best believe that I do it in my mind better, its scary to write my ouwn thoughts, not because i don't want to read 'em, I can't care any less about it, it's because my thoughts are too messed up to leave any proof....... Now I'm just bull you.

Sincerely speaking now, I did like it at the begining but then it was too much of a hasse for me to care about it, I did all my entries during the weekend, took one hour off my day with 'em. Now, I have to make this short because im gonna present this in 3 minutes. So, how about I talk about this entry that....bla bla bla, I wont mention any, none of 'em are note worthy, there was the poem, but I already posted it so whatever you wish me to tell you I can't really cooperate.

Well, I will atleast try to explain why it was annoying, in a few words......obligation and responsibility. I know I can't really whine about it, but if the reason for me to keep a journal is to make it an enjoyable experience, then you cant really tell me to do it, you have to persuade me, I don't lie feeling obligated, I like feeling moved to do it. Thank you.

So after I posted this, I found out about these questions:

1. What changes have you noticed in your writing? (style, vocabulary, creativity and so on.)
-I have noticed nothing changed in my writing. What I HAVE noticed is that my HANDwriting is horrible! Oh my lawd! What's worse is that I wasn't allowed to stop writing, nor was I allowed to cross out or make markings.
2. How successful were you in following the first thoughts activity? For example: Which rules did you find difficult or easy? Explain. 
-WELL, I already talked about this earlier but I'll mention what happened the first time. I did not know what the hell to write about, so I had to jot down my thoughts and it was so annoying (still think it is).
3. Select one activity (one journal) and explain your process.
-I already talked about this in the earlier post.
4. What have you learned about yourself as a writer?
-About myself as a writer? 
Nothing....well I did learn that I don't need the journal to express myself, talk to myself, or anything that has to do with sorting out ideas. Specially with the rules set in this journal. I have a lot of time to think about everything, I even make my schedules in my mind each day. I can do all that in my mind, thus I don't need to write it and leave proof about what I am thinking of.
