True Grit



True grit is a book that was published in 1968. This old Western really gave Americans a odd perspective on each other and revenge and the south. This book follows  young girl who is trying to seek help in having her fathers killer murdered. she looks to a couple people for help but besides this sheriff is her best bet. There are other people out looking for her killer as well and they plan on finding him and taking him in alive, but this little lady wants him as good as dead.  The man who was supposed to kill him then gets wrapped in with the other man to take him alive. They decided its no place for a lady and try an try to leave her behind. But you cant stop justice in this novel.  She can not take no for an answer and tries and tries to follow them. Giving up she joins in the search for revenge.
Justice will be served but not until multiply men die to even find the killer. None of them seem to care, this book has a weird shade of gray when it comes to justice and good and bad. What makes them any better? She tries and tries to revenge him to become worthy of someone to be loved by a dead man. In the end a rattle snake bites her and she loses her arm. She sees now that hate and anger is not worth it. All the killing and revenge and the hunt has led her here. No arm and a ton of dead men on her soul. This novel makes you think about justice and if its worth it. I don't think so.

Interview with a Vampire: Lestat

Lestat is the vampire that I will be trying to portray. I chose him because after reading the screenplay his character stood out the most to me. He is strong and evil and overall seductive and I fell for his character. Mysterious and coy is pretty much how he stays in this novel, at times he shows is weaknesses but most things don’t get to this handsome badass vampire prince. His character never seems to think hard and long about his actions which tells me he his impulsive and doesn’t see life as sacred. Killing who he wants and win he believes is his right as a vampire, since he is already damned what can hurt him? He relishes his abilities and doesn’t understand vampire’s ho don’t, ones that see human life for what it is, living. He was so alone, this emptiness has caused him to manipulate his friends to stay with him, which never works. Its hard for him when plans don’t work out and he no longer lives in luxury because before becoming vampire his father made she he...

Orange is The New Black

I decided to binge watch Orange is the New Black for this week. I got through a couple of them, there are 5.   I noticed that the main way this show traps their audience is huge reveals and shocking actions that the audience didn’t think of. Prison sure is unpredictable.   In the first season you meet Chapman and you watch her adjust to prison life. There is normal drama, ex girlfriend being there does not help and in prison there is always someone who wants to kill you. This show really keeps you in on each character showing back stories to support their actions before they happen. Now knowing some of the back story of the other inmates they tend to end episodes leaving you wondering what will this crazy person do next! They led you up with a formula, character, backstory, actions in present. But to keep you guessing they end a lot of episodes after backstory or you are giving a little action.   They also remind you how horrible humans are. Even the on...

Artivism

One activist agenda I would follow if I was into activism would be artivism. Artivitst try to pursued the public to push and really think about politics and the government and their problems. Their mediums consist of protesting and jamming but mostly you see artivist using street art because that way the public can see it always in their neighborhoods. I agree with this tactic. I think the best way to get your point across and keep it there in a constant understanding and memory is to plaster it in a bold and unapologetic way. One way to see artivism work is artivism online. This website shows artist all over trying to make a difference. You can look to gain opinion or to show off what you have to say. Simply broadcast your message. http://artivism.online/ A great website to go to to understand artivism and to see what you can do is Beautiful Rising. They talk about artivist but also a wide option on things. This website shows you actions and campaigns that worked for them in ...
