Big Darn Deals ch. 2

After completing chapter 2, the biggest deal for me was the Web 3.0. I had never heard of it before and now I can tell you everything about it! The technology in this world is becoming so great and it is fascinating.
The second big darn deal I had was reading about face book. How it evolved and the changes it has been through. When it started out only a few top-notch college students could join and then it decided to let ANY college students join. As you look at it in 2010, anyone can join! You see young and old on face book. My aunts and uncles are adding me as friends! It is so interesting to see how many changes a site like this can go through.
The last thing that really struck me was Twitter and how popular it has come. You see it being used everywhere. I see it all over the news and with this Haiti relief effort, it seems like it has become even more popular! I never have been into status updates on facebook, which is what I feel Twitter is, but someday I may have a Twitter, who knows!

"A Good Man Is Hard to Find"

The grandmother is a religious pretender. She acts very selfishly towards the beginning when she doesn't want to take a family trip to Florida, but to Tennessee. But, when the car breaks down and there are men with guns, shooting her family one by one, she preaches to Misfit. She doesn't seem to care about the other family members who are being brought into the woods and shot, yet she is worried only about her life. She only seemed to care about her faith when her life was in jeopardy. I feel as if the family has true faith, because even after the grandmother tells them of the Misfit they still go on their journey to Florida. They have faith that they will hopefully not encounter this Misfit.
The grandmother realized before her death of the mistakes she had made. But God grants grace to people even if they have made many unrepairable if they accept him into their life.
Violence shows the reader that the world is not perfect and never will be. That even people that murder others can attain grace.

A Rose for Emily

As I try to reason who I believe is the narrator, I come to the conclusion that it is a towns person that lives in the town that Emily does. It never says if it a male or female, but whoever it is, doesn't look down upon Emily. They are respectful to who she is. Emily buys arsenic not to commit suicide but to murder Homer. It mentions that she wants to be married to him but he has not proposed to her yet. I think therefore she wanted to kill him so she could be with him the rest of her life. She ends up killing him and then lying next to him every night for the remainder of her life. Once again, it makes me wonder that Emily loves the dead.

This is a test. I have never blogged so we will see how this goes!
