I Just Want ONE Small Thing

I just want someone that can do everything for me. That's it! I want to be in one of those "Once upon a time" movies and maybe then I can do that thing where I draw in the bottom right corner of the screen and say with a little goofy smile, "And you are watching the Disney Channel" because everything in life is so perfect just beacuse my loved one only does everything for me. It really shouldn't be that hard right? I mean today, all I wanted was a steady job, a healthy future, a really big house with that really fancy architecture - elegant pillars, beautiful arches, and a grand chandelier. I really don't care who this person is. The possibilies are endless! Here's a couple examples so you know the easy qualifications you can match:

1) Jesus - I mean simple dude really, he's got this really famous book about him, and you know, he seems chill so why not? 

2) Pink elephants - No. I don't have some weird animal thing. I'm talking about the times when you have no idea what's happening 'cause it's all happening in a blur. Like that time I went to the dentist to get my wisdom teeth pulled, man was I FEELING it there, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. I had no cares in the world, I could say anything, laugh about anything, and I had no idea what was happening! So um, if you have some spare anesthesia laying around, I'll take it!

See? Not too hard right? Why is everyone telling me it's impossible? So go out there and find this person! Use some of that nice smooth rehtoric for a pick up line. But always know, if you want to fufil some small needs, I'm here. I know Charles Dickens has given you Great Expectations, but boy, I sure can meet those expectations!

Listen. I want to be "economically independent, [and] support myself," but why do that when I can get a perfectly good supporter?


Analysis: I Want a Wife incorporated humor when expressing views of what a "wife" really is. I incorporated humor and understatement to try to emulate the humor and added my own voice as a little bit of a unique touch.

    Well done James, I like how you used Jesus and Pink elephants as "Contenders" for your needs. Also, I definitely agree with you on wanting a steady job and a healthy future. Interesting read!

Identity

“Go with wise men and be wise: but he who keeps company with the foolish will be broken.” – Proverbs 13:20      This quote is often used to describe people based off of their peers. As humans, we tend to lose track of our identity and lose our uniqueness to common conformist beliefs, but this unique individuality is what sets us apart from one another to create relationships that last forever.       Conformity can be great. There is strength in numbers, but the ones who stand tall and provide limited traits otherwise not present in their peers are often the ones who survives in the end. To not "forget who you are and where you come from" (Fitzgerald) is important in a vastly changing world. That is not saying that always standing out is a positive. There are always times where coming together is always better than going off into a path alone. Being able to realize when to fit in and when to draw boundaries between the people around you allow the ...

Protesting with... A British Bar Tune?

Colin Kaepernick (Right), the former quarterback of the 49ers, kneels with his teammate during the playing of The Star Spangled Banner. Expressing views is one thing, but some pro athletes took different approaches when illustrating their frustration with events that took place in the United States. During the playing of The Star Spangled Banner, athletes such as Kaepernick or Megan Rapinoe took a kneel in hopes of conveying their views. When asked about the reasoning behind the kneel, Kaepernick stated, " I love America. I love people. That’s why I’m doing this. I want to help make America better."  Sarah Vowell, a writer who has been noted by the New York Times  for her "funny querulous voice and shrewd comic delivery" has written an essay called "The Partly Cloudy Patriot" that entailed Vowell's definition of patriotism. Following the reading of this essay, we were prompted to write a paragraph mimicking her voice and use of sarcasm. The para...

Conceptualizing the Concept of the Internalization of Internal Thoughts

Image
Internalization. The thing that makes events "normal." What is normal? In Song of Solomon,  we see Guitar and a gentleman at a bar discuss the death of Emmett Till. Freddie, the gentleman in the conversation, believes that Till is at fault for his own murder from, "acting big down in Bilbo Country" (Morrison 49). Basically, Freddie's internal thoughts leads him to believe that a black man should not have catcalled a white lady; so his death was his own fault because black men are naturally inferior and Till tried to step out of this "normal" mindset. Guitar however, sees a different light. He believes that Till should have not been killed out of a simple act of catcalling a white woman. In fact, he is in disbelief when Freddie says his rationale for the justification of Till's death. The internalization of racial inequality can affect the people of any race, but it can lead to the acceptance of inferiority rather than the freeing of these racial be...
