Let it snow.

Snow, let it snow.

I love the snow, I mean love. Every year at my birthday I wish and pray for a snowstorm and every year it comes. Anyone who’s ever seen Gilmore Girls, I’m a Lorelei I feel snow deep in my blood. It’s part of me. So when the snow comes its feels like the world becomes soft, like I’m transported from and part of murders, con-artists, and cheats to a snow globe. In my safe little snow globe there’s child ice-skating and couples holding hands walking, there’s shops filled with parents picking out presents for Christmas. Everything is just perfect. 

Dorothy's Dairy for World War II [Project Four]

June 4, 1944
Dearest Mother,
I fear for the men in combat. I saw another man today mother his eyes held the most pain I have seen yet in this war. The men are shipping out to Normandy; Randy is among those who will be leaving in the first wave. I know he has not written lately, I believe he scared that he will not come back. To lose him will truly be like losing my heart. I hope soon this craziness will be over mother, than Randy and I may come home. I can introduce you to William mother. He has been the light in this. He promised me that he would look over Randy during the raid tomorrow.
Mother, I worry about the attack on the beaches. Many of our men fell ill. I have taking many of them in. Some men need extra rest and so I bring them food in bed. I fear that men are not eating properly and so I help make the meals. I hope they will be alright for attack. So many have fallen ill will disease that I do not know how to cure, and only two doctors are still with us. I fear the worst mother, and I pray for the best.
Sending you all my love,
Dorothy.

Dearest Mary,
Today the day is the day that ships take off. I know there is much at stake all I can think about is how happy life would have been if there was no war. Our lives would be complexly different and we would be married.The have shipped in more men. I go out to greet them and holding tea and cups I pass out the drink to refresh them on the journey. I a brief moment all is clam the men joke and smile at us. I’m scared that I will have to treat these men. Seeing there smiling faces and knowing where they come makes to so much harder when they die in my hands.
Mary, how I wish I had the strength you do. Mother is so far away now and I afraid of what father think I know they are fine in your care. Oh Mary I wish you well. I know you will be turning eighteen soon, but please stay home. Get an education and don’t follow in my and Randy footsteps. Look at what happen to John, Sister I morn him. Every man I treat I see our dear bother’s face. Every death I think of that man’s wife, sister and mother. I cruse this war and I wish it would end but none the less I will stay and heal those hurt by the selfiness of others. I wish the fighting would end and I wish the German would fail leaving the Allies victories once again.
Love you,
Dorothy

Dear Mother,
The men are shipping off today, it’s early and I can smell the gas from the ships, I see the men boarding and the look so nerves. I can when I stand close hear the prayers and the stories of family members. The sound of distance gun shots and screams of the soldiers. I break my heart; I can stop thinking that Randy is over there. I scared for him and William as well. I cannot be windowed before the marriage even takes place. Oh, mother I wish you were here. The other nurses and I are holding big mass. We pray and hope that are soldiers will come back.. Those of the commander that stay wills us stay that we should move farer inland. I agree mother, will heart breaker scream or fire I keep imagine William dead and lying beside him Randy. These ghost haunt my every move, I wish I could see what is happening. Mother dearest I will be home soon and I will be torn apart.

Dearest Father,
William is dead. He died protecting Randy, He died for me, and he died to protect my bother. Oh God the humanity. Randy survived lying underneath William dead body. The Germans did not see him and if they did Father they thought him upon the dead. Randy said he can get the smell of blood out of his mind. He said that men didn't even make it to the shore. As the men made their way to shore there was bodies blow to pieces and men clinging to life. He said he saw William drop down and ran he ran to him. He told Randy he needs to survive for his family; they could not lose other member. He told him that he love me with his whole heart. Father, Randy is alive. I need you to stop the pettiness and write to us. The commander said because of his injures that Randy can go home to heal, and father I have been giving permission to join him on his journey. You need to forgive me and Randy. I know the loss of John hit you the hardest. Father if you do not let us in then you will died alone and never know what good we are doing. I miss you Father.
Your daughter,
Dorothy

Genes.

My whole life, I was told I look like my Grandmother. I have her eyes and her laugh. It’s really hard for me to think like that. I'm the only one in the family that has her red hair. I miss her a lot and more and more lately all I see when I look in the mirror is my grandmother. It’s hard I barely got to know my Grandma and people commenting on how much I take after her is weird. Sometimes I wonder if there a great meaning behind genes. 

Finals

I think that the final project is a great way to end the semester. It is nice to not have to crave out time to study. I like that we're in groups it’s something we have not done a lot of. I love the group I'm in. It's was nice that we got to pick the subject area in history. I am having a bit of trouble figuring out the media portion of the project. I was think maybe a video dairy. I do however like power points. Someone comment and give me your opinion. 

Christmas

Christmas Time, it the best time of the year.
I have so much fun during this time of year. The Carols, bright lights, Christmas trees. I love all the thing that make Christmas, Christmas!
Every year around Christmas my family would get in the car grab a hot chocolate and go a look at lights. I love listen to the music looking at the lights. It just fabulous.
Christmas Shopping is fun part of the time, each year I go shopping with my Grandma and cousins. It's fun to get gifts and spend time with my family. It's just awesome to have that time.

Class Room

I think it was a great thing that we didn't have class on the Tuesday before Fall/Thanksgiving break.
Conference are good to know what going on in your particular grade. Plus I have to drive six hours to go home. So it was nice not to worry about this class. Thanks Ms. Mosses.

Cinderella

Cinderella mother died, and every day she went to her grave a wept, and her father remarried.  Her step-sister made her do all the work around the house, from day to night poor Cinderella worked. During the night she had no bed to sleep in so she would lay by the fire. When her father when to the fair one day, he brought presents back for the girls. Cinderella receives a branch she asks for she planted this branch and I grew to a big tree by her mother’s grave. There she sat and pray, crying all her tears. In this tree white-birds came and gave Cinderella her every wish. So the prince of the kingdom sent invitations out for a ball. Cinderella helped her sister get ready for the ball but wish she could come along. Her step-mother said you may come if you get all the good grain out and the ashes. Cinderella asks for the birds help and received it, having the chore done in a hour. But still her step-mother would not let her go. When everyone leaf she ran to her mother’s tree and wept, then she call out bring me silver and gold.  There landed a gold dress and sliver embedded slippers. She looked she beautiful when she enter the ball, her step-family did not know it was her. The prince found her enchanting and would not allow anyone to dress with her but him. The prince lost Cinderella and she fled home, this is where her family found her among the ashes. For the next three nights she did this, each night looking more and more beautiful till finally the prince trap her slippers. The prince came to the house claiming who fits the gold shoe he will marry. The eldest sister tried the shoe on but it was too small, her mother had her cut off her big toe so the shoe would fit, but the prince was not fooled by this ruse. The other sister cut off part of her heel with the same result. Cinderella the last to try on the shoe became a princess. At the young couple’s wedding day Cinderella’s sister were blinded for the wickedness against her.

This story has been told time and time again; actually in my option it has been overdone. I prefer the original and of course the Disney vision.

Fairy Tale Project

I am so hyped for this project. I grew up with the Western view of the Grimm brothers. The older I got the more into the original visions of the tales. As time kept moving forward I become so in love with the Grimm brothers’ stories. Their talent that they had is awesome. I can’t wait for this page. I’m going to read up on their stories and find my inspiration from them. This project is like the best project I have ever gotten in school. : )

Iron Horny

The Frog Prince, another famous story for my favorite brothers. A German fairy tale calls the Iron Horny. In the story a young princess walks along a path by the spring. She carry with a golden ball, tossing the ball up in the air she losses her ball. The ball rolls down in a deep spring. Sadly little princess bags for someone to help her. A frog pops up out of the water and says “I will help you if you allow me to eat off your plate and sleep in your bed.” Princess thinking he can’t not get out of the spring agrees. The frog swims down to the bottom of the spring and bring the princess back her golden ball.  The princess forgetting her promise runs away with her ball. The next day the frog comes to the princess door, with command for her father she lets the frog in as she promised. This happens for three nights before to frog turn into a prince. They get married and live happily ever after.

Basic this story is a teaching tool in my mind. First you have that you must keep you promises, even if you don’t feel like it. There’s also the “Don’t judge a book by the cover.”  A frog that turns into a beautiful prince, what girl would want that?

The frog prince is not as popular as say Cinderella or Snow White but it is a magical story and it one of my favorite. The thought that nothing is as seems hits me to the core. I was a bit of an awkward geeky girl, glass and books. So, the thought that we all have a princess or prince deep inside of us. 

Fae

Fae also know as Fairies. Fairies come in many forms, gobbles, trolls, elves, gnomes, and nymphs. Some theories are that these creatures were angels at one point, and they were stop being so during the rebellion not wanted them to go to hell God stop them half way through the fall. The name fae come from Italy meaning fate. Theses creature will foke lore, in stories like Peter Pan and Rapalsetion.

The craziness fact is that mermaid is considering fae. Mermaids are a form of water nymphs. The legend of mermaid come from sailors; who I my opinion spend a little too long on the ship. Mermaids are creatures that are half fish half human. Mermaids are of course women that seduce men. They have turn into more innocence, like the story of the little mermaid.

Thesis

We, as humans, don't reliaze love when we have so, we chase it away.
Material: hallelujah.

Vampires

Vampyre a word you cannot seem to go out without hearing. The main stream was taken this idea and brought it into the light….hehehe. That gets down to the facts about these fangs.

The Vampyre myth is seen throughout the world nowhere is safe from undead. The word vampire comes from German word vampir which in old polish means vaper. Vampires comes from the legend of Lilu the mother of vampyres she killed newborns and pregnant women. The are many different kinds of vams; there’s Slavic, Romanian, and Indian. Each varies on the facts of vampires.

 

The start of this could be because of a disease that causes the victims to become pale and sensitive to the light, this people in need of iron would drink the drink of animals. Much of the common or media vampires come from Bram’s Dracula. He based this off of Vlad the Impaler. His favorite vision of torture was to make people hang above pikes; they would have to hold themselves. This weird form of torture caused him to be unliked, and he suffered the same death as his victims. 

 

In today society we have more of a cuddly vision of the dark creature. Shows like Vampire Dairies, True Blood, Being human and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Paint the picture of Vampires that just really want to be like us.  Movies like the Twilight Saga and books like Blue Bloods and Vampire Academy so vampire living normal lives. It foolish but I will admit I love it.

Group work

At first working together to find the faults in the person we persuaded as a monster was strange. I like the present ion and I felt everyone did we. I thought it was great how you showed that people will pick a part your information. You need the good sources and to be sure of you subject matter. 

On the negative side. I felt that no was the cut dry monster. It would have been better to let us choice from three objects instead of sticking us in groups. I know my heart was fully against Carrie’s mother. 

Werewolfs

For thousands of years there were rumors of werewolves. These tales started in the fifteenth century, Villages were small and surround by woods. Thus the popular thought of wolves attacking the villagers brave or stupid enough to go out. There rumors that man could turn into wolf start when one wolf stood up on his hind legs likes a human would. Ancient Roman myth, the tale of King Lycaon (the origin of the word Lycanthrope) he offended the gods by serving human meat. Jupiter punished this transgression by transforming Lycaon into a werewolf. In his werewolf form, he could continue his abomination of eating human flesh with less offense.

Werewolves were in most ways like witches a lot of rumors and no fact. Is the same men and women alike were killed if thought of as a wolf. There are many serial killers and rapes killed for being werewolves. How do you spot a werewolf, well most weres have red hair. Their hands will be fury and their middle and index finger will be the same size. They love the smell and taste of raw meat. Of course staying true to every werewolf movie they can only be killed by iron or sliver.

In today culture werewolves are kind of the thing. Movies, books, TV series where thing is revolving around werewolves. I think you can’t even turn on the TV a flip though the channels without seeing a werewolf. It a craze that is seeping around the world.

 

Peer Editing...

Peer editing is not really my favorite thing. I usually prefer the teacher/instructor to correct my paper. I’m not strong writer, in the sense of grammar and spelling. I did however find the peer editing session helpful. I not only gave me a chance to see how other people from the narrative. It also gave me new ways to edit mine. It was very help to see what others people find confusing. Being that my narrative is about music I didn't not know others didn't have the basic knowledge that I received at a young age. I still would like to see what the instructor feels could use improvement.

Grimm's Little Red Ridding Hood

 This is the story of Little Red Riding Hood. There was a girl whose grandmother lives in the woods. Her grandmother falls ill. She sees a wolf on her way to her grandmothers. The wolf distracters little red with beautiful flowers and she picked them. The wolf going to the grandmothers house and eat her, later when Red goes to her grandmother, and he is lying in her bed clothes. Soon Red knows that the wolf is her grandmother he ate her. The wolf than goes to sleep snores so loud that I hunter comes by and cuts open the wolf’s stomach and get the grandmother and Red out. They put rocks in the wolf’s stomach and wolf dies.

Little Red is a favorite of mine. I mean yes she a fool for trusting the wolf. But I just love that she fights the wolf and kills him. This is other story that the main stream media had grabbed on to. They have however turn in my in a werewolf thing. Which is sad…don’t be surprised that my next post is about.
