Change

I honestly do not think it will ever end in our life time or our kids. I think it will just get worse. There are so many groups and gangs that continue to grow it is unreal. I will be perfectly honest there are certain people or "clicks" that I didn't like in high school. I didn't like the way they acted or treated people. With that being said that is my point that it will never ever end. There is always going to be certain groups of people that you just wont like. I wish there was a way because it is sad to me that there is always some type of resentment or hate towards people all the time.

Different

I think we persecute certain groups because its the way we are brought up. We are always told this group is good or this group is bad. Most of time the the bad groups are people that are different use. Whether it be color, race, gender, religion and so fourth. It is a complicated thing because until you really get out there and see if for your self you never really know except what people tell you.

Literary Character

This may sound cheesy but my favorite literary character would be Harry Potter. I love love love all of the Harry Potter books. His character in the stories are always the hero and I love that. His character has come such a long way over the years I just love to watch it transform. The movies are great but the books are even better! Most people may not look at him as their favorite but its a story that has continued but stayed in the same lines so you always can follow it. His character is the same way as well.

Favorite Memory

My favorite memory of reading was when I was in elementary school. At the end of each year you would have a reading day. The teachers would let me rearrange the desks and put sheets on them to make it look like we were in a tent. We could bring snacks and we had hershey candy bars for our "sweet snack". All you did all day was read your favorite book. Every year that is what I looked foward too.

Tv shows and Drama

I would not characterize TV shows and movies as literature. Don't get me wrong I think they share some of the same qualities like irony and along the lines of that but I don't think movies and TV shows are literature. Nothing is like READING the story and seeing all of techniques and the famous reading between the line technique you just cant get from any TV show or movie.

Literature

I would definitely say that this weeks work has helped me understand literature alot more! It has shown me how it is alot easier to find certain elements to pinpoint a story. Ive always enjoyed reading and now this makes it alot more appreciative to understand the elements of how the author got all of their stuff together to make the story come to together so well.
