Sunday Post 3

Three triplet triceratops were born in the third triangle balanced on a tripod.  When the trio grew up they participated in a triathlon on 3 tricycles.  Before the triathlon the three had to build up their triceps.  The youngest of the three won third place.

Women have several roles. Often they are the same in some places as in others. While I was reading The Host I read that Wanda is a female soul. She says that she is female not because of the body she is in, as Jared assumes, but because she is one of the few "mothers" of the souls. Women have roles from supporting an entire family as the sole breadwinner to being a stay-at-home mom and taking care of the house and any children they have. All women can agree that childbearing is one of the most important roles women have. Afterall, women insure that there will be a future for the human race.

Sunday Post 2- A Love Story

His jeans are tattered, his shoes brand new, but

He glances my way as I rove through the inert volcano's cave

This single glance wakes my sleeping heart and brings it to soaring life

As we pass, his shirt brushes my arm

The rise and fall of his chest as he breathes makes me elated

The sulfurous desert like air fuels the tension

We two stroll in tandem towards the babbling creek

He swoops around to speak but decides against it

As he drives his Jeep, me riding shotgun

His sweet smell of light rain makes this reunion even more joyous

So much of spring depends 

Upon

the sweet ringing of a birds' song

the dead sound of leaves decomposing

colors explode all around me

beautiful congruities of a promising season

So much of spring depends

Upon

the pulsing heat of a steady ray

the red brightness of the heat

soft grass brushes my exposed calves

the life coming back

I am currently reading Stephenie Meyer's The Host. I enjoy reading this book because it is slightly realistic but at the same time not. I am posting about abusive relationships. In the book the relationship between the host, Mel, and Jared is not abusive but in the beginning the relationship between the soul, Wanda, and Jared is. Wanda explains, "..., his arm shot out and the back of his hand smashed into the side of my face" (Meyer 132). There are other occasions in which Jared hits Wanda but this was the first time that Jared had hit her. Mel refuses to accept that Jared will keep hitting her and that determination helps her. In books the relationship gets better. Often times in life there is rarely a happy ending like in books. I'm sure most of you have heard about the relationship between Rhianna and Chris Brown. That is a perfect example of a real life situation without a happy ending. For those of you who have read The Host, you understand why Jared hates Wanda. If you haven't read this book yet I refuse to ruin the entire book for you, you'll have to read it yourself.

Bollywood Post #9

A director in Bollywood prepares to film an action thrillier. He wants it to be about a corrupt government sort of like the Bourne Files. The film is to be shot in August. The cast is being finalized.

Japanese Internment in WW II in the United States

Causes: Pearl Harbor and the fear of spies

Effects: only 10 convictions of spying, poor living conditions, segregation centers, and  migration back to Japan after the war

Millions of innocent Japanese citizens were forced to endure terrible living conditions in segregation centers even though only 10 of those who were imprisoned were convicted of coalition with Japan.  All of these horrible things were forced upon innocent people out of fear of Japanese spies as a result of the Pearl Harbor attack.
