Emma by Jane Austen

Many girls believe that they have the "cupid" power to set up true love. In Emma, Emma tries to set up her friend and ends up failing not once but repeatedly. Emma gets so wraped up in setting her friends up that she loses sight of what is infront of her. She eventually doesn't even realize that one of her best friends is in love with her. Has this ever happened to anyone or anyone you know? It seems like Jane Austen was speaking from experience in this book just like in the rest of her books.

Picture Perfect

The book picture Perfect is about a boy who'S best friend goes missing. Durring the story, thr boy is blambed for his disappearance while struggling to balabce his second personality named Ian that he beleives is just an imaginary friend. In the end it turns out that his Dad really was behind not only his friends disappearance, but also behind why he has a split personality. Even though his father is the cause to all this boys problems, the boy just wants to make his father happy and proud of him.

Where is the line for parents to say that a child has made them proud? It is as far as causing mental abuse, or is it as close as a hug? Could the parents just not know where to draw the line in the first place?

The Blackberry

I have been playing on the Blackberry for about a day and have realized is that I can do the bare minimum compaired to any other phone. When reading the users guid for this phone I noticed that the first language that shows up is japanes. How am I suppose to understand a alien phone when the directions are also in alien??? So my question to you is why put directions in a different language, and am I the only one who is Blackberry stupid????

Global Warming

So I came across an article the other day discussing global warming. I have just a tiny obsession with global warming so I thought I would elaborate my idea on here. First of all I would like to say that Global Warming does exist. Unfortunately I am sad to say that my theory of Global Warming differs from most people’s theories. Millions upon millions of years ago, compasses would have pointed south due to the Earth’s magnetic field. The Earth eventually flipped as to where compasses pointed north. This explains the ice age.
Now it is expected that the Earth will make this flip again. An effect of this will be the North Pole ice caps melting. The melting of these caps will cause temperature changes in the water. The water currents will then circulate throughout the globe causing many hurricanes which are known to alter the temperatures within the ozone.
Now you may be asking how the sun comes into play in all of this. Well you know thoughts pretty lights you see in the northern hemisphere called the Northern lights or aura borealis? Well thoughts occur from the sun's rays escaping into the North Pole. The sun also plays part in Earth’s magnetic field.
And wal-la you have now been introduced to my new theory of Global Warming. No government interference what so ever. And it is not a human pollution problem either.
P.S I did not do any researching on my facts so if it’s wrong, my bad!!!

Shakespeare’s Animal Imagery

Upon reading Shakespeare’s tragedy Macbeth, I couldn’t help but notice the excessive use of animal imagery. Some of the animals so far are ravens and horses which got me to thinking “Is animals the only thing Shakespeare could think of to get his bizarre thoughts across?” Then as you read on his bizarre thoughts turn into everyday lessons. That’s when you realize that if Shakespeare were to read or hear one of our sayings would him think that were bizarre? We too use animal imagery in our sayings. Quoting my dad, these sayings go something like:
“Tough titty said the kitty, but the milks still good”- Not everything is going to be fair.
“Like a goat looking at a watch”- Confused look.
“Like a deer caught in headlights”- Surprised look.
“There is more than two ways to skin a catfish”- There is more than two ways to do something.
“Hold the horses head up Nute, she smells water”- Hold on and be patient.
Although these sayings may be new and far fetched, the point eventually makes its way across. Shakespeares point also eventually makes its way across as well. So is it Shakespeare’s animal imagery in Macbeth getting out of hand, or is ours?
