Week 6 Blog Reviews

Brittany:
I think you picked a great movie to describe a "wild woman." Helen had her own life which she loved and it quickly turned around and she had to care for others more than herself. You did a great job of describing Helen and a background of her life before explaining what happened to her and how she had to immediately become a responsible adult. I found it difficult to find a movie to describe, and I think you found a great one.

Your blog about the movie "Crossroads" was a great description of a "wild woman" and referenced back to the reading in a very good way. Tying back to Thelma and Louise gave the movie you chose a lot of credibility and proved how the movie was a true example of a "wild woman." You described Lucy's life and her longing to have a different lifestyle in a very effective way and I enjoyed reading your description about the movie. You tied up the idea of a wild woman in the movie at the end of the post and this was a great conclusion.

You did an excellent job on the first blog post about the movie. You went into a lot of detail to describe the film then tie in how it relates to a "wild woman."I think this was a great movie to choose because you talked about more than 1 woman in the film, but rather all of the main characters and how they separately live lives of a wild woman. You did a great job explaining how Thelma and Louise also could relate to these characters, and I really enjoyed reading your post!

The blog post on D'Emilio's essay was very well thought out and I think you brought up some excellent points. Explaining the growth of capitalism and the different communities that came along with it is very important because it shows the importance of family life even after all the new technology has erupted. Technology has helped homosexual couples be able to have a family, which leads back to family life, making it a full circle. You pointed out that capitalism has created new societies online, which help people meet. This was good to point out because it allows for homosexual couples to have more chances to meet each other, therefore showing why capitalism is necessary.
