For class today we had to read Violence,Agency,and the Women of Twilight. I was really interested in the article and the views of the author. The article begins describing about rape culture and how in today's society that it is "the girls fault" for dressing the way she does or her fault for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The phrase is also used a few times that people will say "boys will be boys". I definitely agree that there is no excuse for rape. However; I do not really see a connection between twilight and the problem of rape culture. Yes, the book portrays that violence is "sexy" in a way but I believe that the book is just portraying the whole "bad boy" cliche not necessarily that rape is good.I believe the words given in the examples for Jacob and Bella kissing are being twisted a bit. When I watched the movies and read the books I never got the idea that Edward or Jacob were being violent.

When I first started college writing I did not really feel like I was very prepared for it. I was a little worried about this but once I began writing papers I began to feel more confident with my writing. The hand outs that the professors provide are very helpful to me when writing so I can be sure to include everything they want in the paper. If I were to give a high school senior advice on college writing I would tell them first off to not procrastinate when they receive the paper. I would began researching and brainstorming ideas for the paper as soon as possible because the more time you have to work on your paper the more you can improve your paper. I would also advise them to be sure to make it clear to provide all the information in the paper that was assigned.

Alrighty this is my first post, I have never really had a blog before so im a little new to this.
So far I really enojoy the english course its something different than a regular comp2 class so it makes it intresting. Today we did the pop up reading which i really enjoyed because it let us look at quotes from a different view or allowed us to show visually what came to mind when were read the quotes.
