Post 13: Setting

 My favorite movie is Kong: Skull Island.  A team of scientists explores an uncharted island in the Pacific known as Skull Island. It shows many monster species living on Skull Island, such as dinosaurs, giant bugs, water buffalo, squid, bird, and skull crawler. Based on the movie, Skull Island is shaped like a skull when viewed from above, rather than simply bearing a skull-shaped mountain. Kong is the largest creature living on Skull Island. People try to search Kong to capture it but failed. The Island is filled with the largest ecosystems like trees, mountains, rivers, and caves.

    The island in the movie is definitely a place where animals like the ones you mentioned can exist, although some are fictional. The island itself is really beautiful and is a direct reflection of the Hollow Earth. I recently watched Godzilla vs. Kong where they were talking about how similar both places are. Have you watched that one yet?

    This movie seems to be a popular between guys. Even so it is a great movie with all the action packed scenes. The setting of the island is important and even the name seems to be a reference to something more.

    This movie has a really cool setting with an actual Skull etched into the island. The setting gave off more to the movie as it first made Kong look like the villain until you realize that he's the guardian.

Post 11: Metaphor

Langston Hughes's "Harlem" metaphor compares the dream and the bomb. It felt like the metaphor reminded me of having a nightmare in my dream. Sometimes I go to sleep to keep dreaming, and there was a monster in my dream. In the poem "Harlem," it asked, "does it explode?" (432). Yes, I might get scared in the middle of the nighttime.

Post 14: 19th vs 21st Century Women in America

 In the 19th century, all women were housewives who had to take care of children and clean the house while the husband had gone to work to make money. For example, Nora never goes to college or gets a job because of 19th gender norms. Women were untreated fair and not enough freedom. All she does was cleaning the house and take care of the children, but she was very bored at home doing nothing. In the 21st century, women had the same equal right as men. Both women and men can take care of children and cleaning the house as a family. Women get a job and go to college to get an education.

Post 5: Psychology of "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas"

 This story, "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas," takes place at the Festival of Summer in Omelas which people who are celebrating and be happy to dance around. They sacrificed an innocent child over partying and food. In the first paragraph, it said that "[c]hildren dodged in and out, their high calls rising like the swallows' crossing flights over the music and the singing" (Le Guin). The people of Omelas were to live in a utopia; they want to be happy people. I felt terrible for the children because it was untreated fair and disrespectful. Le Guin is critiquing about "[h]appiness is based on a just discrimination of what is necessary, what is neither necessary nor destructive, and what is destructive." In other words, it is saying that happiness predicated on simple discrimination of what's necessary, what's neither essential nor harmful, and what's harmful.
