Christina's blog post 3/24

 Based on the first 40 minutes of the film and chapters 1-11 of the book, The visual version of Chris's journey makes his choices seem more reckless than the text does because in the movie (thus far), Christopher just graduated college, was planning to possibly attend Harvard law, had $24,000 in savings, and seems to have come from a well off family. So it seems like he had a pretty promising future and an opportunity to live a normal life but he instead he chose to go on this crazy adventure. In the book, we learn more about his childhood and how he has always had oppositions towards society, which makes his choices seem more justified.

A real-life situation in which jealousy negatively affected a relationship I experienced is one time I asked my friend to go to the boardwalk with me, and she told me she couldn't go. The next day, I saw that she had gone without me with another friend. I'm not going to lie, I did feel a little jealous, but in the end, it was a misunderstanding. She had already had plans to go with someone else and couldn't go with me that day. Today, I learned about a folklore story "The Jealous Father" when a man suspected his son was having a affair with one of his wives due to marks on her body and tried to get rid of him but in the end the son never had an affair and the father tried to get rid of his son over a false lie.  Today, we started a project. My group is responsible for the moral aspect of the story.

 Today in class, we learned about 3 rhetorical devices. The devices we learned were hyperbole, understatement, and litotes. Hyperbole: Today's lesson was so revolutionary, my brain doubled in size! Understatement: We spent a few minutes looking at words today.  Litotes: Learning about rhetorical devices today wasn't exactly a waste of time.
