In the beginning he evokes the emotion of heart warmth and love because when one thinks about home and happy memories that is something a lot of people feel. He uses positive words like “health and prosperity” to get readers that can relate to really feel a sense of mellowness and gratefulness. Then as the reading went on there was a shift in the tone of the text. He mentions children starving and not having enough to eat.

In the novel Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton, the main character, Ethan, is trapped in an unsatisfying life. He falls in love with his wife’s cousin and that leads to a depressing ending for everyone. But I understand that Edith Wharton had a tough time with marriage and love, and that reflects in her writing. There are countless situations that can keep two people from being together, every romance movie ever made has proven that fact and it is impossible to recount all the obstacles fictional people must face. However, the most popular are: a class difference, financial struggle, a third party (ie: love triangle), or what I like to call the Spider-Man/Mary Jane conflict, where the hero walks away from the girl because he believes their relationship would make her a target for supervillains.

After watching the documentary on Kip Kinkel, I came to the conclusion that they were many factors that contribute to Kip’s mental illness and the tragedy that took place at Thurston High School. The first factor that I think contribute to Kip’s mental illness was the way that Kip’s parents raised him and his sister. According to the video, Kip’s parents always thought that both of their children were going to succeed. Yet, they were always comparing both siblings at different tasks, and in my opinion, I think that is what made Kip feel like he was never good enough in compare to his sister. One perfect example is found in one of the family videos, were we are able to see how Kip’s dad encourages Kristin to do here cartwheels and hand stands.

Well President Passey, it has been a good week. I have noticed that with a companionship again, rather than a trio, there are a few changes. It is interesting to see how the buffer of a third comp changes the dynamic between the individual members of the trio as well.

I love it, I feel like he has a ton of experience and knowledge I can benefit from.
