MiG-Willy's Blogs
Matt Wigylus's procrastinated blogs.
My hometown: I'm rather sure I've already answered this...But I do like my hometown, though it does have its faults in being a little world of its own and as a suburb. Overall its a great place to be, just going out is an experience that shouldn't be missed.
Frankenstein relates to Hobbes/Rousseau: I think the monster of Frankenstein would relate more to the state of war (man is innately cruel, evil and such), while Frankenstein himself would identify with Rousseau with his man being good and kind deep down.
My Problem: I know i wrote this, or else I wouldn't have had a project, but basically its me thinking too much on pretty much day to day things.
Characters/Settings to problem: Me and those around me are the characters, and the settings would be everywhere I am. (somehow I feel I've answered this)
What am I being educated for: Not sure actually, I don't know where I'm going with my education. But I suppose its for a job, so I can work for society and such. But that's the main purpose of education (from an overall perspective), that you educate to better society, so it can grow, and as such boost the country, which in turn boosts the education etc...
What exemplifies strength in my culture: I am actually not sure of this. My own personal culture I tend to draw examples and such from anime, manga, Sci-Fi and fantasy books. So honesty, strength (mental and physical), compassion (actually this is a very big one for me i think), and I think love but I've never been in love (as in lovers, I DO have family).
Is violence ever a good idea: A good idea? hell no it is not, a necessary one sometimes it is. therefore one should never result with violence, but be ready for it in case it becomes inevitable. This is because violence only brings pain to everyone, even the so called victors.
McIntosh Advantages/Disadvantages: Well being from middle class suburban family, I get a ton of advantages, probably more than I even realize. Being half white is also to my advantage, and I've never really had to deal with discrimination before (community mostly). As such I've had all the advantages of most people can expect to get (short of being a rich kid and such). Disadvantages are few for me, but there. For one thing I lack the exposure to the other cultures and racism that most experienced. Being half white and half Asian make my cultural identity fucked up as well, so that is a problem.
Does Satrapi's use of Graphic Novel affect your reception of her narrative/point of view: Well her narrative was not recieved that much differently. However I was more inclined to actually read it as a graphic novel. I just like graphic novels a lot right now (mainly a manga influence), and it was such a difference in comparison to all the other readings we've done I really just liked it. Though the visual stimulus does give a better picture of the story, making it more entrapping.
Problem Assignment: I actually did not do the assigned problem. I probably should have told Dillon why. It is partly because I was lazy/didn't want to do it, but also that it reminded me too much of my time in Middle School. I sat around thinking of what I could be doing for around an hour damn near every day back then, and there is no way I'm going to fall back into that. Instead I decided to make a sort of diary, kind of like a daily blog (HAH). I'll turn that in as my creative project, so hopefully it will be good. (Heh maybe I'll keep it going after core!)
