The Bell Jar, Ch. 11-12

The reason why Esther does not like Dr. Gordon is that he truly isn't making Esther any better, hes only shocking the crazy out of her. And even still, Dr. Gordon isn't even shocking the crazy out of her, he just shocking her. That isn't in any way a reason to like a person who believes that they can cure a traumatic event that trigged a mental psychosis problem by shocking them until they aren't crazy anymore.

The Bell Jar, Ch. 9-10

It has been quite a harsh time recently for Esther, and when she returns to Boston, she acts quite peculiar. By peculiar I mean she has begun to go crazy, like when trying to read a book, but the letters start sliding off the page, you know, crazy person mannerisms. This is most likely influenced by her night with Marco, the man who definitely views women as 'lesser beings'. And his beating, and intended rape of Esther would screw up any person, so its no wonder she is going crazy.

The Bell Jar, Ch. 7-8

Esther, in a really unique and childish way, eventually decides that she wants Constantine to seduce her, and even weirder, then have sex, in order to get back at Buddy. Constantine does in fact invite Esther to come back to his place to listen to music, which Esther took as, "Come back to my place and we can have sex." or so she hoped. Instead, when they were at Constantine's, he fell asleep from all the wine he had that night and they both just went to his bed and slept, no sex at all. I suppose Constantine just didn't realize the hints that Esther was dropping, or maybe he just didn't want to have sex, either way Esther was not happy with the way things turned out

The Bell Jar, Ch. 5-6

Buddy, is Esther's old boyfriend and a doctor. What Esther thinks of Buddy, at the current point in the book, she really dislikes him and his attitude. But back in college, Esther liked him, but that definitely changed. Esther wants Buddy to really just realize that what they had is over. Esther wants Buddy to think of her as a completely different person, someone who won't be able to get close to him, like the Nun and the Jewish Man.

The Bell Jar, Ch. 1-4

Esther's feelings about New York are, well, mixed. I feel that she likes living in New York, but at the same time I feel like she hates it. She loves New York because of all she is able to do while living there, like the nightlife she loves so much. But at the same time her reasons for living there are based on her internship as an editor for a fashion magazine, so she dreads it because she has o be there. These are conflicting ideas, but Esther does like it in New York, overall.

Pleasentville

One way the movie tries to make Pleasentville appealing is that it trys to make a statement that the representation of the changing colors which is not only visually appealing, but also is a nice way to simulate change in the plot. One way it is unappealing is that they try to make the statement that everything in life is simpler and more 'pleasant' if everyone does everything the same way every single day, no matter what.

A show from 1950

I love Lucy was on of the first shows to appear in 1950, and its values would soon not be forgotten. I love Lucy brought many values like a 9 to 5 working man, a stay at home wife, and what she does with her time while the man is gone, and the American Dream. These values were all very popularized in 1950, and most shows had similar values like Leave it to Beaver.

Internment Camps

Looking back at the internment camps in California, I don't believe anything along the lines of forcing a person into any sort of camp without consulting, or even caring about what that person felt about it is completely unethical. So they only moved the Asians and Asian-Americans to the camps, and didn't hurt or kill any of them, they were still in a prison of sorts. Then there were the actions taken towards the Muslim-Americans after 9-11. They were just as bad as what happened in the internment camps. Who ever thought it was a good idea to haze every person of a certain nationality/race/religion based on the acts of a small group of said group is moronic, and immoral. Then the worst of all were the Death camps that the Nazi's created in WWII because not only were they moving the Jews and other groups to these camps by force, at the camps they killed, and did unethical and cruel tests on some of them. That is what I believe about those three acts of hate.
