Almost there!
I just finished my Biology lab final, and now I have to tutor. At 8:00 I am finally going to get my taxes done. Among this busy evening, I also need to study for my math test tomorrow, and finish off the last three blogs. (Two after this!) I'm thinking since they are due tomorrow I may just do my last two tomorrow morning and on my hour break at 9:30. Gives me more time to study tonight (oh I forgot to mention I'm pretty sure I'm having a surprise quiz/test tomorrow in physics. It was supposed to be this week sometime and it hasn't happened yet, so more studying for me!
Basically this blog is about the blogs being due tomorrow. Why so soon? All semester I was thinking that they were due on March 31st. Well, even if it's one day off, I could of savoured in that one extra day (and had three days to write three posts!)
When the teacher says ok, you have four months to write fourteen blog posts of any length of any consistency as long as there is relation to the course, you think.. Fourteen blogs in four months! I can get that done in half a month! But evidentally thinking this would make one "wrong". I have proven against my hypothesis, as here I am, the day before they are due, and I am still not done. Is it procrastination?
Writing on things related to one course is extremely difficult. You cannot just go home every day and write about the notes you wrote in class today, "and then we learned what a comparative essay is!" There needs to be some creativity, thoughts of your own. A story, a short essay, a poem, thoughts, personalize it! That is the point of this project.
Well I need to tutor now. So I will end this.

CM1145 #11 Literary Criticism
Day 1:We need to do a literary criticism, and I have no idea what I should do it on. I'd do it on a novel, but with finals approaching and a big research paper to start, I definately won't have time to re-read or review a novel properly. I thought about doing poems, but then I'd have to analyze, and poems are hard to analyze.
So I'm doing a short story. Now I need to find one. I was thinking it would be cool to do it on a Disney story, Aladin or Peter Pan, or maybe an alternate version of them. But I'm not sure how I could interpret them with one of the literary themes, never mind the fact that most of those books are written with a single sentence on a page. I found some interesting thing's while researching though, including short stories by people, just simply posted online on a short fiction blog.
Day 2:Over the weekend I found a story to write it on. The Little Mermaid, the original, not the sweet, happy ending Disney interpretation. It is written by Hans Christian Andersen, and the original name is Den lille Havfrue (not English, it's been translated.) It's very interesting, and of the seven R-rated original Disney stories I found, it seems to be the least gruesome. I'll post a link to both "The Little Mermaid" and the website listing all seven R-rated Disney stories at the end of this blog.
Believe me, it's not the story we all know and love- Flounder isn't even mentioned!
Day Three:
Well, since blogs are due tomorrow, I'll just wrap this one up. The project so far is extremely difficult. I've gotten as far as writing the summary (the second paragraph) but I have no idea what to write the other six paragraphs on! I have all the feminist related parts marked in the story, but I do not know how to relate the story to feminism in an essay. Well, wish me luck!
PS. I have no idea how many comments I have done.... I may end up randomly commenting on blogs.
