christina's blog post 3/31

 Watching the film version of Into the Wild deepens my understanding of Chris McCandless because it shows his emotions more clearly through visuals, music, and his interactions with others. One key difference is that the film makes his loneliness and struggles feel more real, especially through his facial expressions and the setting, while the book focuses more on facts and analysis. This helps me better understand how isolated he really was and how much he was going through internally. It reminds me of a time when I saw a video about someone’s life instead of just reading about it, and it made me feel more connected to their experience. Seeing something visually can make emotions stronger and easier to understand compared to just reading words.

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.
