Through with Seinlanguage

It was a good book, he made so many good/excellent points. Many people don't think that he is funny, they call him a Jew (even though he is), but all in all it was a good book. There was no main character, its all about his life and career.

There were points about relationships. Those were funny, when he mentioned Chuck Woolery and the dating game. and he said that after the first date, if you want to be thrown into another volcano its on us. That was good. There were things about hygiene where woman are all about having no hair. Women will rip hot wax off there body but are still afraid of spiders and bugs.

He also mentions jobs and job security. He never had a real job so he didn't have to worry about that. Jobs are hard to come by these days (no really these days). His jokes are a bit outdated but who cares. Many people wont like this book because they have no sense of humor. But that's all right. It doesn't really matter what anybody else thinks of the book. Because really the book is about his show (as i said in the first post). Its been 14 years since this book was written, and still he is making movies and appearances in shows. Thats all, thank you good bye.

A Third Post!! Seinlanguage

He ends up talking about job security, and other things. But he lets you know about the way that people try hard at keep there jobs and then there are people who dont try to keep them. people who want their jobs are all chipper and "merry". And people who don't really care are like "screw it". He says he never really had a real job. I can relate. The jobs that I have had, well, I got help getting them. But he never really had a job.Its not his fault that he never had a job.

He goes on to tell how he lives alone, he compares it to the criminal life. Anyway you look at it, you're still in solitary. How could you not think about jail he says. The fact that they show someone going to jail every night on the news, doesn't help. He has a point there. If they are showing people going to jail, you would just wonder,"what's jail like, what would you have to do to get sent there". All legitimate questions. If you don't know what you could do, you might never know you did?????

What's up with the "to be continued..." after shows. It's like you watch shows to see the end of it, to find out what happens. You don't want to have to wait until next week to see the conclusion. Because then you get there and you ask yourself,"What happened last week that there showing it again." A lot of people hate that. As Do I!!!

my last blog about the book

Do the charaters experiences cause them to grow? if so how?


i thimk the experiences angel went through had her grow into a young women but more like a mom. She did evreything for her brother bernie, expecially after there mom left them with there great grandma angel had to fulfill the role of the mom she was the only person he really knew she would make sure he ate got cleaned up ect.... i think when she grows her life when she gets married and has kids it will be different because she had too deal with growing up with no dad because he was in jail and a mother who took them away from a home that they knew to their grandmas nasty trailer where the mother abanded them, where as i was saying instead of having a childhood of being a child she had to take care of her brother.

Once I Was Done

I enjoyed the book. Althougth the main character life was sad I enjoyed her story of her jorney to find happiness in her life. The book was a page turner I found myself excited to find outwhat would happen next and how would she handle the program. After reading this book I realize that it is posiable to enjoy or find a book interesting without really liking the story. I didn't like the fact that the novel entire story was a depressing one including the fact that all the character were at one point in their life depressed. I really don't think that any kind of person would like a sad story. But I guess that's just me people like it when the character is down but they also like to see the character bring themself up. I think that I would of likedthis novel better if I woulf of waited and read it when I was older and more mature.

The Notebook

THEME
I believe that the author is trying to give a good lesson to the readers.The lesson that is said from the story is that when two people are in love like Allie and Noah no matter what life brings at them they will always find their way to each other ,and that miracles could happen,as long as you have faith.

Noah and Allie had a happy life .They always loved each other.In the story they had hard obstacles that they had to overcome.Later on in life Allie was diagnosed with a disease .It was a horrible disease because Allie couldn't remember anything.The doctor told Noah that she never going to remember .Noah never lost hope that she will remember him and the life they shared together.So Noah would read a book everyday to her about their life they shared.Miracles happened She remember not all the time but once in a while.which showed how much they loved each other.thats how they basically died with memories of their love life.

The Notebook

How do the characters change or evolve throughout the course of the story?
Allie throughout the story she does things that her family would approve,even thought that is not what she wants.She wasn't able to be with the men she loves because her family didn't approve of him.Later on She finds a guy that fer family approves of and is engaged to him.The thing is that even thought she engaged to him she still remember her past lover that she met on her summer brake.she decides to visit him even thought she is engaged to another men.when she seas her past lover that she has not seen in 14 years her feeling toward him come back.they both still in love with each .They share special moments with each other.shes stuck doesn't know what to do.she loves the guy shes engaged but doesn't feel open with him like she does with the guy she is engaged to.In the end she follows her heart and comes back to Noah ,the men she never stopped loving..

Silas

Today when I was reading he book in class, I came upon a new very interesting character that seen to be a very important in this story, his name is Silas, is a very tall man with great strength, red eyes, really pail and believes on self inflicting pain, he always wore an old fashion rob and he believes that by self inflicting pain, he was cleansing him self in the name of God, that's how he believe that was the only way to prove to God he was on his side he also did it to prevent temptation of any kine, like for example any sexual contact or thought was unnoticeable, and to keep him in line he did it by doing so, to prevent future temptation from happening. To me reading about this character was rather disturbing to me I can not imagine to have to heart my self to prove that I'm loyal to God. But with out this character this novel would not be as interesting as it is with him.In the story he has some type of mission to find something that is call the Key Stone, I believe is an old fashion tablet, that is of great importance to the person that commanded him to find it. In conclusion he is one weir guy.

Understanding the Theme

To me this novel has more than one them or meaning of the story. Theme is to love yourself and that family is the most important thing you can have in life. Throughout the novel Annette the main character has low self-esteem. Annette is a large women and because of this she finds herself unattractive to men. But toward the end of the novel she realizes that men do find her beautiful. Also throughout the novel Annette feels this emptiness because she grew up without her real father because he left Annette and her mother when Annette was only just three years old. Annette wants to reconnect with her father but is afraid to because her mother is still angry with him because of what he did to them.
Although Annette's mother doesn't agree with her going to visit and reconnect with her father Annette goes anyways. Annette realizes that if she doesn't reconnect with her father she will forever feel empty and because her father is so old and sickly she only has a limited time. When Annette finally visits her father she learns that she is not the only child but she has two sisters and one brother. Her oldest sister has two sons and a husband witch she has been separated from and her other bother and sisters are int he Military. Annette finally feels complete

Point Of View

Although I do understand that Annette is the narrator, I feel like there should be other people's point of view available in the story. Like everybody else her point's of view in life are affected by what she has gone through in life. But because she was raped as a child she is always sad and depressed and her points of view is affected by that. Everything in her life, she looks at the bad side of things. There isn't just the bad things in life.
For example Annette is a big woman, and she always have been even as a child. Annette thinks of herself as ugly and unattractive to men, but to me the way she is described in the novel she dresses well for her size and she has a pretty face and she a nice person. As long as you dress appropriate for your size there is nothing wrong with your weight. Also if your a nice person people will like you. You can be one of the most beautiful people in the world but if you have a bad attitude people won't want to be around you.
But all the character in this novel have had bad experiences in there life so no one in the novel well really have a good point of view. Annette has low self-esteem and she deperessted. Pee Wee is in love with Annette. Everyone in this novel has problems.

The Death And Life Of Superman

Superman throws every thing at him and he keeps comeing. The Justice League & Superman all throw one attack at Doomsday all at once , it was like a bug bit to him. This is the last person Superman will ever fight becauses Doomsday is the one who kills Superman.

The Allure of the West

<i>Into the Wild</i>, Jon Krakauer, pgs 144-207 (end)

<i>Death of a Salesman</i>, Arthur Miller, pgs 1-97

So, I finished <i>Into the Wild</i> and started rereading a book that I'm studying with my AP Literature class.  As I read the first act of the play I was struck by the similarity between Chris McCandless and many of the characters from <i>Death of a Salesman</i>.  The main character of this story, Willy Loman frets over a missed opportunity to accompany his older brother to Alaska to make money. Instead he is 60 and stuck in a dead end sales job.  Interestingly enough, Willy's father abandoned <i>him</i> as a child to also seek fortune in Alaska.  In a weird twist, Willy is disappointed in his son Biff because he is constantly seeking work outside of the norm of the day.  He's worked on cattle farms and other jobs that Willy does not respect.  Biff explains that he likes these jobs because he's not stuck inside at a desk and can be out in the open air.

In American culture the west has always been symbolic of the open frontier, a vast unexplored wilderness where a man could make his living outside of the realm of laws and societal constraints.  It's interesting that these two books, written 50 years apart, have such similar themes.

Does anyone else know of any characters who seek a life outside of society?  Anyone have a friend or family member who constantly wants to go out on the open road?  What do you think drives a person to feel like this?

my next post

is it written in the first person, third person, or perhaps thew second person, or perhaps a combination? Is the story told by one point of view or many?


This is where it kinda gets confusing because it starts off being told by the main character angel in her point of view but then like in the middle of the first chapter it is more like the authors point of view or her telling the story of angels life(the main character) i dont really like that because it makes it a little bit more confusing. They go back and forth it seems on who is telling the story i think it would be easier if the book was like her telling who is writting the book since it is like her life story in the first place.

blog response

Think about the main character. what seems to be his or her motivation?

The main character name is angel the book is about her life! I think her main motivation is taking care of her brother she is always making sure she eats right and he brushes his teeth ect.. In the book she seems to be more like his mother than his sister even before his mother left well i should say abanded him with their great grandma that cant really do anything. so even know that she is with the grandma she is more like the mother figure. so the motivation of this charater is to basically make sure her brother is healthy and get what he wants and or needs. she is a very intereresting charter to read about. In some points I think what won't she do for her brother or any one for that matter because in the begaining she was so concerned about her family!

About His Jokes

His jokes could be kind of corny, but what do you expect, it is the 90's. He joked on Chuck Wollery and The Love Connection where a tribal girl goes on a date and gets thrown into a volcano and after the date Chuck goes how was the date, and then he proceeds to say " if you ever want to get thrown into another volcano, we''ll pay for it." In my opinion that is a corny joke, I mean come on , who really watches The Love Connection anymore.

Another joke that he uses, which you can say he used in his show is "The handicap parking spot is the mirage of the parking desert. you know the feeling. You see it in the distance, there it is . You can't believe your eyes,'It's to good to be true. A big wide spot,and it's right by the entrance. Somehow everybody missed it.' And when you pull up, wait-it wasn't even there." He then proceeds to say something along the lines of what do they do at the special Olympics, they must just stack like a hundred cars in to two spots. Honestly, it makes no sense to me. But what are you gonna do, when he told these jokes he probably get a good couple laughs out of them.

He's a funny guy, it's just that his jokes can be and or seem outdated to us younger people. But don't forget that these jokes may have been outdated when he was telling them. you really have to have a good sense of humor. Well if you even have one at all, no offense. Now i don't know if you know this, but his show Seinfeld, is based off this book. And the show is about nothing, much like this book. So if your into nothingness, watch his show, read his book.

The Death And Life Of Superman

Reading some more pages I learned that superman powers are limited.If superman ever uses his powers more than his body will allow he is powerless and he can be killed at that time.
I also learn that the red sun aka are sun gives him power and heals fast.superman is the last one of his Kryptonian race.But Clark leans that some made there way to earth to kill him but not all Kryptonians were evil.Super girl is a Kryptonian and she is family of Clark's she has all the powers of superman but they are not as strong.The creature is that is underground has found his way to the surface.

my 2nd post

Are you puzzled or confused about anything in the story? What is it that confuses you or you find confusing?



Actually i am cunfused because in the begaining of this book " the same stuff as stars" by Katherine Paterson is that first of all her dad is in jail and it says in the begaining that she and her brother are staying or i should say living with her grandma but in like chapter two it states she is moving! Her mom says after a vist to see the dad that she is ready to move on with her life and is not gonna wait for him. so she tells the kids to pack that they are going are moving. so are they with the grandma or the mom i dont know yet! so its a little confusing to see what she means but hopfully when i get farther a long i will understand it more!

my 1st post

the book im reading is "the same stuff as star" by katherine paterson.The book is about a girl thatS father is in jail and her mom deci9des after a vist with the father that she needs to move on and so they each get one suit case and they get on the road to move.

The Da Vinci Code

The title of the bock I'm reading is The Da Vinci Code, By Dan Brown the author of Angels & Demons.

The basic story of this bock by now, is mostly about a man name Robert Langdon that is train to solve the mystery of the death of Jacques Sauniere that was assassin i Louvre Museum, Paris by the time of 10:46 P.M.

you One thing that I rely like about this book is how they builds up the mystery, and how it keeps you wondering about what is going to happened next in the story. And that is only one of the reason why I like this book sow much, there so many interesting things about it, That is why recommended so strongly.

Asking a Question

If I would to meet the main character/narrator (Annette) of God Still Dont Like Ugly by Mary Monroe, I ask her a few questions. How can you continue to allow Mr. Boatwright to sexual abuse you for ten years starting when you were only seven years old. I would also ask her why wouldn't you tell your mother or any other aduld that can help you. Why would you allow him to control your body and how you though of yourself far after he's gone.
Although I have never experance being sexualy abused myself when I was younger my mother would make me watch movie's about women who were raped or molested. After the movie she would always tell me. " If anything ever happens to you don't be afraid to tell me because I will always protect you." That's how I was raised that, if I ever had a problem I can go to my mother and she would protect me.
Even though my mother never suspecting anyone in my family of being a child melester she would never let none of my sisters or I to spend to much time with men because she never wanted anyone have a chance to have their way with any of us. My mother kepted her word she protected us.

The Notebook(

The conflict is Allie because she needed to face herself ,she needed to make up her mind about who she wants :Noah or Con.Also she needed to make up her own decisions and not let everyone else do it for her,especially when it comes up to who she is going to spend the rest of her life with.Don't care about others feeling even if its your Mom or your friends they shouldn't make your decisions for you.Throughout the story her mom always tries to get in her business about who she should spend her life with and she always had a problem with Allie being with Noah because she was high class and he was low class. ..Allie been in love with Noah but she is also engaged with con,so she started caring about him too.. but still doesn't love him in the same way as she loves Noah.If she chooses Noah that means breaking every ones heart.(pg41)


what i think is going to happen next is that she going to follow her own heart and choose Noah.i believe this because she going to get tired of everyone making her decisions at some point and realize that this is her life and if they truly care about her they will except it.

The Death And Life Of Superman!

In this book there are to people that has alot of history in story Lex Luther, and superman.Lex is always trying to find away to bring people down.He is very powerful he is rich.

These is what helps brags him down is his love for mankind.Lex and superman were Friends until Lex wanted Clark's past and the biggest thing of all what does clark has to hide!

SeinLanguage By Jerry Seinfeld Pgs 1-80

So far in this book you basically get told of his on goings in his personal life. How he goes on trips ( planes, cars, and subways). He tells you about the weirdest things. What he tells you is not really that relevant. The fact that this is an autobiography makes it hard to relate to the character, setting and/or conflict. There really isn't a setting, there's no plot, and no conflict. You could say it might be a dull book, but really it's not.

Jerry Seinfeld is a somewhat middle aged man (well at least when this book came out), he has life experience. It seems like he takes everything that he goes through and puts it in to his comedy act. Understandable, due to the fact that that is where most comedians get their material from, life experiences. He has story's of what happens when he gets into a relationship, well at least how bad relationships end. He flips it and puts his own perspective on it. He says its like having a car, you need a owners manual. And "the directions of operation in a relationship are detailed and specific nonetheless. So when you start out with someone, you're essentially driving a strange car for the first time and the directions aren't labeled for you "(pg 20). He likes to add that kind of things into his comedy.

How can you really relate to a real person, we're our own unlike people. That's a good question, can we? But that's not really here nor there. He has many complaints about things such as hygienic keep up. "Women can put hot wax on there legs and pull their hair off, but they are afraid of little bugs". He is complaining about that because its true. women go through all this stuff to look good, and guys don't. They might go for a hair transplant but they really aren't fond of it.

There are a few outdated jokes in this book. But if you have the "Game Show Network" then you might get one of them. "You know that in ancient tribal cultures, they would sacrifice a virgin....they would find some girl who has never been out with somebody and they would throw her into a volcano. Now there is a first date she'll never forget. She winds up in heaven talking to Chuck Wollery. 'So, tell me, Lisa, how did the date end?' 'Not well Chuck, Not well.' 'Well if you would like to be thrown into a volcano again, we'll pay for it...' Now come on how eighties is that to talk about Love Connection.

Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer Pages: 1-144

So, the book I'm reading is about this early twenty something kid who
is pretty alienated. It's a nonfiction book, and since I haven't
summed it up yet in a previous response, it's about a kid who is
searching for meaning in life and seeks this meaning by exploring.
At the beginning of the book we find out that he ends up dying in the
middle of Alaska to exposure.

Even though I think I'm supposed to, I'm having a really hard time
identifying with the main character, Chris McCandless. I look at
the cover and there's this picture of Emile Hirsch portraying
McCandless. He's a good looking kid, and he's kind of sitting in this
"top of the world" type dominant pose. The author seems to really
identify with the character, and spends a couple of chapters relating
his own similar experiences. And McCandless is seemingly the rugged,
individualistic antihero that Americans celebrate.

But, I can't get into him, and I think it's because I'm a parent
now. I see the way this kid abandoned his parents, went off into the
middle of nowhere, took chances, didn't write home, and espoused his
theories on the way life works to whomever would listen, and I'm
like, "dude...call your mom, dad and sister. They're worried sick."
The kid is kind of portrayed as this spiritual, deep Thoreau quoting
prophetic figure, but he just strikes me as naive and self centered.
I don't know what I'd do if I was his parent. I would be devastated
if my son took off after graduating college and just disappeared.
It's really rather sad.

(By the way, if you're wondering, this response is to the 7th bullet
under character. The total length of this response is 279 words. I
summed up the book to start because I figured you'd need that
information, but then I really tried to stick to talking about
whether or not I identified with the main character and why.)

The Death And Life Of Superman

The book i am reading is THE DEATH AND LIFE OF SUPERMAN BY ROGER STERIN. The book so far is good i think it's telling the life before he die. Plus it is just telling all the good things he done and the ideas that he has had.

I like the book because it's full of action . Plus the book tells how the man of steel ful to his death. It shows how poeple that you don't need powers to save other poeple. In the book it full things that teach poeple how to be good to other poeple.

It's Like His Show!!!!!

The book that I'm reading is called SeinLanguage by Jerry Seinfeld. The book is really like his stand up comedy. It's also like his show, it has nothing to do with anything. He tells stories about life experiences.

One thing that I like about this book is that it is not centered around a fake character, it's centered around Jerry Seinfeld. There also isn't much about it to make you tired halfway through it. It has a lot of jokes in it, probably because he is a comedian. They're kind of out dated, the reason being is that the book is from 1994. All in all it's a good book so far.

God Still Don't Like Ugly, Mary Monroe

The book that I'm reading is called God Still Don't Like by Mary Monroe. God Still Don't Like Ugly is the second book to the series. I like this book because it tells a great story about a woman who is going through like dealing with the inner demon of her low self-esteem and her her childhood sexual abuse.

The Notebook

The Notebook is written by Nicholas sparks..


I enjoy reading this book so far.It shows funny ,romantic,sad parts,and also makes u wanna now more about it.I also like it because it is a love story which everyone is going to fall in love at some point in their lives.This teaches you to follow your own heart.

Your 1st Post!

Today in class we will be posting to our blogs. To keep things simple, this
first post will be a kind of introductory thing. Here's what I'd like each
of you to write (make sure it is under your own display name):

1. In 2-3 sentences, give us a taste of the book. What is the title? Who
is the author? What is the "gist"? (It's about a girl who...)
2. In a separate paragraph of 2-3 sentences, finish this sentence: One
thing I like (or don't like) about the book so far is...

Welcome

Hello folks. I just wanted to give you a hearty welcome to the
blogosphere (the world of weblogs, according to my widget dictionary).

I'm going to send you more meaty information in the next few days
(right now I'm testing out the "mail to blogger" option I told some
of you about today).

But for now, I want to talk to you about grammar and conventions.
These are blogs for my English class, and I expect you to follow the
rules of standard English as best as you can. Some of our previous
rm305 blog discussions were replete with mistake after mistake. You
may IM your friends and write on Myspace one way, but on these blogs
we are going to assume a more academic diction.

Thanks for the help. If you have any questions, let me know.
