Ok so this story was kinda weird at first. I thought it was very strange that both her husband and her brother would say that she needed to isolate herself and do no work because they said she had temporary nervous depression. You would think if someone was feeling depressed you wouldn’t tell them that they should stay alone. You would tell them that they need to get out and do something. I think that this story conveys a very controlling message. No matter how the woman felt about her condition or how she told her husband she felt , her opinion didn’t matter. Whatever he or her brother said that she had , that’s what she had. This husband gets more controlling of his wife as the story goes on. Like the whole story he basically tells her how she feels. At first he tells he that she is just depressed and then later on in the story when she said that she thought there was something strange about the house that they were living in he just told her that she was feeling draught. The woman seems to believe for a while that he is right about everything too. It is very odd to me that she is basically just going along with everything he says and just kinda ignoring her own feelings and when she says that she has a schedule for pills and that he takes great care of her and that she feels ungrateful to not value him more than she does. I think that is just crazy that she doesn’t see that he is controlling her with pills. If she does anything that he doesn’t like all he has to do is just give her a pill and there you go problem solved… when she started talking about the paint on the walls and the women behind it that was kinda creepy. She was obviously very mental but who wouldn’t be if they were locked up in a room all the time because their husband was so controlling and then having to take pills because its what her husband thought was best. As I was writing this me and my mom got into a huge fight as ussual and I thought how she would probably love to be able to control me like this haha keep me locked up all the time so she knew exactly where I was and knew everything I did. I couldn’t believe in this story how she had bars on her windows too that’s just crazy. I wonder if this ever happened in real life. Like if some crazy husband ever thought it would be some awesome idea to lock up his wife so he wouldn’t have to worry about what she did. It takes a very insecure and untrusting person to be able to act like this I suppose. Wow the ending of the story was very weird. It sounds like something out of a horror movie. Someone really should make a movie out of that story. It would probably be pretty good…

Ok well I don’t think I liked the article for this week very much after the first page or two I started feeling very ADD because I found myself thinking about a thousand other things than this article. It was pretty boring. I’m really having a hard time reading this I cant decide whether its because I’m tired or I just cant concentrate because I’m not enjoying what I’m reading. I wish I could do a better job for this assignment. One thing I did notice I guess is that the article said that movies started out not being much entertainment for people and that no one was interested. That is definitely and extreme change from today! I’m sorry this is such an awful job with this assignment.. I’ll go to two plays at least to make up for this...

O so the first one I have already seen this before and I thought it was kinda funny because that girl isnt very pretty at first and then after they do all the hair and makeup and computer work she looks gorgeous. I think it is trying to show people that most of what we consider to be “pretty” isnt real . Like all the models in magazines and pictures that we see. I mean you could do all that hair and makeup and computer work to anyone and they would look pretty. Guess it shows that it really doesn’t take much to be in a magazine ad since youre not going to look like youreself anyway. Many younger girls look up to those girls and want to look like those pictures in the magazine but the funny thing is that those people don’t even look like their picture!
Ok so the next one , wow that was really funny. And yes I do think it is making value judgements about how you look and your inteligence. I suppose they were saying that more active people would play wii considering the weights of the two people and they were saying how much more fun and young the wii is. Honestly I do like the wii more than I like the playstation 3 but I play both of them. I like wii because you can play tennis and all the other sports and you are kinda more involved instead of sitting on your butt for a couple of hours . I guess it was also saying that you have to be more inteligent to play a playstation and I guess if you are playing some sort of war game that would be right. The controllers for playstation 3 are a lot more complicated than the wii controllers too. but the last thing ill say about the wii it mentioned that it was cheap it must be talking about quality because that thing is outrageously priced!!
The cinamon toast crunch commercial was cute . its nothing like the commercials for that cereal that they have now . but I guess the argument for this commercial would be that it taste better than all other cereals because it taste homade. I love cinamon toast crunch and I think its funny how in the commercial the parents are eating the cereal and saying it taste good and the mom is saying how there isnt as much sugar as she thought. I guess that’s trying to tell parents that this cereal is heathy for their kids.
Ok so the calvin klien commercial was kinda weird. I guess they were trying to say that if you buy this cologne you are gonna end up kissing some really pretty girl or something. I don’t think this commmercial is harmful but I do think it leaves out things you might want to know like how that cologne smells gross. My friend has it I don’t like it.
