"Medea" the play

In school we are reading plays the play i'm reading is Medea by the euripides so far I have read about Medea and how she wants revenge on her husband that has left her and trying to plan out ways to kill him and her children. I think medea is crazy for wanting to get revange that involves killing her children and husband. Why does she seem so possessed with killing her husband and children?

another reading journal

I am reading "The name of this book is secret" the quote : "question : what is not enough for one, just right for two, and too much for three? answer: a secret." I don't know why I picked this quote, I guess I just like the randomness to it. It is a joke in the book that I get but I don't really see how it's funny. I am wondering if anyone else who hasn't read the book gets it.

Reading Journal

Another quote from the chicken soup for the girls soul is "From a shy, timid girl I had become a women of resolute character, who could no longer be frightened by the struggle with troubles" - Anna Dostoevsky. I think this quote is kind of like me well except not being frightened by the struggle with trouble . . sometimes i can get a little scared with that. I am a shy girl though well until you get to know me better. Anyways I think that this quote can really help me because one day I will just get out of my little shell and become "a women of resolute character". How do i get out of my shell? and not be shy or timid.

Reading Journal

I am not reading this book but i like this quote from Chicken Soup for the Girls Soul. the quote says "I have always grown from my problems and challenges, from the things that don't work out. That's when I really learned" by Carol Burnett. I like this quote because I know that we all have problems or challenges and we all try to work through them. But in order to learn from them we have to make the mistake. But why do we have to make the mistake just to learn form them? why can't it be easier, like something we just learn? that will always keep my mind going and maybe one day I will find the answer.

The Pearl

I am now reading a book called the pearl and before the book gets into the story it has a little quote on the first page and it says "If this story is a parable, perhaps everyone takes his own meaning from it and reads his own life into it." I really like that quote because its like when your reading a book it can help you with your own life like putting your life into that book some books help me through things. But then others just give a meaning into it but you don't know how to imply that to your own life. It makes me wonder sometime when we read something and that book gives you advice how do you take in that advice? like if you were hurt how do you get rid of that big hole in your heart? I guess sometimes it just comes to you but you don't know when. If I ever did know when then would it make me feel any different?

Media

By watching a video in school the other day I got confused of what media is. Before I thought that media was just the things they showed on t.v. But now it seems more than that maybe something we don't realize that's right in front of us but we don't think about it as media. And by watching that video it seemed like a bunch avertisements of things around us.
