Cannibalism

Cannibalism means to devour human or animal flesh. I agree with the title of the short story, "Diary of a Madman". The Chinese Culture is filled with many mysteries and traditions. Is it unrealistic to put two and two together and believe that eating people is the norm in China? Taking apart live skin piece by piece with oozing blood dripping cheek to cheek isn't a great way to start your day. The narrarator insinuates the madness and it is a kind of sanity to Chinese Culture.

EMILY DICKINSON! (1129)- morgan peach

Another great poem by Emily.
"Tell all the Truth but tell it slant"(pg.1057).- tell the truth but twist it to spare feelings of others is what i took from this.
"Success in Circuit lies
"Too bright for our inform Delight"(pg.1057).- I wasnt quite clear what to take from this line, I came up with people lie to get to the top and try to weasle their way in as well as tell on everyone for wrong doings.
"The Truth's Superb surpirse"(pg.1057).- the truth about someone or something can surprise us sometimes.
"As lightning to the Children eased
With explanation kind
The Truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind"(pg.1058).- People that lie try to explain the reason for their lies and eventually come out with the truth but not before feelings have been hurt. Sometimes instead of wanting to see or know the truth, people look passed it as almost as if they were blind to anything going on around them.
After reading through a few more of Emily Dickinson's poems I realize that none of them are the same or too similar, she doesnt have a running theme to them, in my opinion. Which I love that each one somewhat tells a story in its own way!

HEDDA G! -morgan peach

Hedda Gabler made this play awesome. She was the character that was trusting but devious, beautiful on the outside ugly on the inside, she was admirable in the fact of marrying George for knowing shed be takin care of and loved. But she loved Loevborg and had many secret affairs with Brack. Shes up class and snooty at times. She an Act all in one, just herself. I did a little digging on other critics thoughts on hedda. None of them were nice or postive!
*A Norwegian critic called her a "monster created by the author in the form of a women who has no counter part in the real world".
*The Danish critic George Brandes found her a "true type of degeneration" who was incapable of yielding herself, body, and soul to the man she loves".
*For Hjalmer Boyeson she was a "complete perversion of womanhood"
*Another response was to classify Hedda as "abnormal or perverted".
