No Longer Monster Sympathy Day

Has anyone else noticed the slight skip in Ms. Stariha's step this week? In a time when many teachers and students are dragging their feet towards the finish line that continues to creep at it's slow but rapid pace our English teacher has found a pocket of happiness. What is the cause? you may ask. What could make Ms. Stariha joyful despite the overall gloom that infects the majority? Today I uncovered it in our Frankenstein Literary Theory Analysis Essay. Thinking of the hours we will pour into this one assignment must make her glow with happiness. What other than the inflicting of stress upon inferiors could make any such creature be filled with such bliss?

N E R V O U S

So if you're reading this right now, which you probably aren't because no one reads my posts, you should stop. Because these next few lines are me complaining.
I know I'm being negative but I need to vent.
I am really nervous about this critical theory paper.
I'm not a very good writer and it usually takes me a really long time to write a paper.
I know we have a week and all but I don't have time to do it on weekdays.
I have so much stuff to do for other classes and I have softball games and physical therapy every night.
So my only days off are going to be spent writing this paper. :(
And this is how it's going to go:
I am going to take forever trying to get started because thats what usually takes the longest for me.
Then I'm going to get going and I'm going to get sick of writing and then I'm just gonna throw something down because I'm mad and tired of spending my weekend writing a paper.
Ugh I am stressing out just thinking about it.
Sorry Ms. Stariha.
I know I'm not supposed to be negative.
So here is a nice picture.

Critical Thinking Paper. Oh Joy.

So, after much thought and deliberation I have no idea which critical aspect to write this paper on. At first I was so sure that I wanted to Biographical but then the Psychoanalytic one sounds good too! Hmm...maybe I'll combine into the Deconstruction one? Anyway, everyone be excited because I'm making a NEW Brit Lit Free Write CD! Yay! It's chock full of Regina Spektor, some Jack Johnson, Ben Folds, Noah and the Whale and nice piano music (:

free write: psychological analysis

I think that the message of this story, or the meaning behind the plot, is that people who do things wrong aren't always punished. However, a lesson is always learned. Goldilocks didn't get in trouble or hurt, but I bet she won't disobey her mother again. The lesson was learned without a punishment being issued.

decisions decisions.

Soo after talking about writing our Critical Theory Analysis papers, I am officially ver excited to write this paper!! I think that once I actually start I might not feel the same way, but as of right now it sounds like it's going to be an awesome assignment! :D I'm trying to decide between taking the psycho-analysis or the deconstructionist approach. I wanted to do feminist at first but after talking to a few people, realized that it would be a much harder approach than the other options. So then I began leaning towards psycho-analysis, but then I heard that everyone is taking that approach. I guess I will just have to end up doing eenie meenie miney moe...
