What I have learned about your story

When I first read "A Secret Sorrow", I wasn't looking for who was the protagonist or the antagonist, I was just simply reading. After I read it for the second time I began to read it for understanding, that's how I got the idea for my Doc 1 to ask who was the antagonist or protagonist. I learned that, in this story, it doesn't have to be read as if it is just from a women's point of view, but also from a man's. Most stories pretty much do one of the other, but since van der Zee did both it encouraged me to ask that question. I also learned that sometimes a character can be both the antagonist and protagonist, and that the main theme is finding true love and letting go of the past. I am glad I choose this story because for one it is more modern and it can be interpret and debating on.

My choice of story...A Secret Sorrow

I choose "A secret Sorrow", because it is a more modern story than the others. I like how the story proves that love conquers all, no matter what the circumstance may be. A women by the name of Faye, is unable to have children and her lover Kai is willing to give up not having children just so he can be with her. He tells her that they can adopt, and so they did. I like how the story was told because I was able to understand it better than the other stories, probably because it was more modern to me. The story did start off pretty slow, but as I kept reading I kept on going awe! I also choose this story because I know exactly what I can write about it in my doc 1.

Favorite Movie...The Losers

My favorite movie is The Losers. I like this movie because it is funny and has tons of action in it. My favorite genera is horror films but I have not taken on a favorite horror film yet. Action and comedy fall second on my genera list, which makes  The Losers my favorite movie. The movie consist of three actors such as, ZoĆ« Saldana, Chris Evans, Idris Elba, and Columbus Short. There isn't any spectacular reason to why I love this movie, it just simply satisfies all the things that I would enjoy in a movie, especially in an action movie. The movie is about 5 members of an elite U.S. Special Forces unit sent into the Bolivian jungle on a search and destroy mission. The protagonist, Clay and his team, Jensen, Rogue, Pooch and Cougar, find themselves the target of a lethal betrayal instigated from inside by a powerful enemy known as antagonist, Max. Presumed dead, the group makes plans to even the score when they're joined by Aisha. Working together, they must remain deep undercover while tracking Max. The movie may sound a pit serious, but trust me it is super funny. Of course, in some senses, the cast is rather serious and there aren't any jokes being told, but the overall movie is funny. I rarely watch this movie because I don't want to play it out, therefore I only watch it every blue moon. Well since I am talking about it, I mine as well watch it after this class!

Introducing Me!!

Hello classmates! My name is Shawnise Addison, but my friends just call me Addison ( I guess its easier) I want to switch my major from nursing to communications, so hopefully I make straight A's. I'm a really cool person and I like pop music and dubstep, some might call me an "Oreo". I didn't want to live on the Cochran campus because of the gnats( I hate gnats), however, I did want to live on the Macon Campus. I am from the city, Atlanta, and I was born in Minnesota. I like to do research on pretty much everything, especially on things I have to purchase. I am not a loud person nor am I a person who likes to "turn up". Not to say that I am boring or "too safe", I just like to chill. I am a mellow person. It's okay with me to go out to parties, but not all the time. I like to put school first because that's the main reason that I am here. I am Christian, and  I do not judge people on their beliefs. I like to draw, but I can't draw. I know that sounds weird but I'm saying that I like the idea of drawing and I wish I could do it well or at all for that matter. I also like to watch cartoons, I don't care how old I am, by the way I am 18. I will not be aged! That does not mean I am immature, it means that I like cartoons, that's it. I do not have a temper nor am I rude. I talk a lot once you get to know me other than that I may be quiet. I am considered a nerd but that's okay because nerds always wins! Well that's all about me, I look forward to knowing about all of you.
