First Impressions on Persepolis

My first impressions of Persepolis is that I think it might be pretty good. The art work is pretty good, not as good as other comic books that ive read but it is pretty good. The story is ok as well, this is the first book that i have read that is set in Iran and it is kind of interesting. So far my favorite part of the comic book has to be the unintended humor. one of my favorite pages so far would have to be 51 because of the torture scene. I just think that the scene can show what it was like better that any amount of words could. Another of my favorite scenes was on page 60 the scene with the hobo. I just think that he looks really funny and I would have pictured him differently if not for the drawing.

Catcher Assignment

One of the scenes we read was where Holden was in the Lavender Room. Holden met three girls who he was constantly pestering and trying to get to dance with him. Finally one of the girls, whos name is Bernice, decided to dance with him. This entire time Holden kept on saying how phony, fake, and ugly they were. One of the main things that you get out of reading this section of the book is that Holden thinks that every one else in stupid and phony. He also thinks he is better then every one else and he talks down to them. Once Holden was finished dancing with the three girls he continued to say how stupid and fake they were.

The First Part of Catcher and the Rye

The first section of The Catcher and the Rye was I desided after about the first 7 or 8 pages that I really dont like this book. J.D. Salinger keeps on using the same things over and over in the story, so it is really repetative. Its really difficult for me to like the story. The story itself is really confusing and it jumps around alot, were Im used to steady stream line stories that make up most science fiction and fantasy novels. Ithink that the main character is just trying to make himself look cool infront of all the other characters in the book throughout his lies and the decisions he makes; but yeah this book is really bad

Blogging during Sociology

Hey, Im Dylan

Im from a small town in Wisconsin, which is a pretty nice town and all. Im a Junior going to high school and im doing this blog for a class of mine. I think I live a pretty average life, I go to school, and work during the summer that pretty much is it. I play x-box live on the weekend and love to play strategy games. I also love to read. My favorte book series is The Dresdian Files which is by Jim Butcher(one of the best authors of all time in my opinon everyone should totaly check his work out). The series is about a Wizard named Harry Dresdian who lives in Chicago. He works as a private investigator who is also the only wizard who is in the yellow pages. Throughout the series Harry makes alot of friends and even more enemies, he has to try to protect the people of Chicago, as well as the rest of the world without breaking any of the rules of magic and anguring the White Council (his boss). It is an action packed series and I totaly recomend it. I've been waiting to get the newest book in the series which came out on April 6, but nowere seems to have it, which is really disapointing. Anyway this is about me and Iwiil be posting more posts as needed
