JOHNNY CYBERPUNK

I feel like this story was post modern / cyberpunk is because if the technology that is consisted in the story on how it is implanted in the mans head and how they need the pass word and it is post modern due to the time and change on how it's in the future and how conversations just randomly change fast and dramatically almost like you wouldn't expect it to happen.

DERBY REPORTAGE

The first article was a man talking about the race that had taken place and explaining everything into great detail on what had happened and how it had happens it it was actually quite cool to see how the outcome of a horse rave was and the other one about the first woman rider was inspirational and It showed how women can do many other things that even men can do.

This is absurd

Absurd -utterly or obviously senseless, illogical, or untrue; contrary to all reason or common sense; laughably foolish or false.
I find some of the things we "have" to learn in school is really necessary , I find it absurd.

SCHLACHTOF ZWEI

So in the beginning he introduces this character billy that had been in a bad plane crash and was the only one to survive and the daughter thinks he has gone senile but he says he hasn't and he is telling his whole story about what happened from what he remembers from traveling through time in the world war and how he was with these 3 guys and he had no guns or anything to protect them but just them.

SCHLACHTHOF EINS

1.i like how he would just change the subject right away
2. Didn't really understand why he would change the subject though
3.think it's odd how he finds death funny
4. Cannot really see the irony that he seems to see I'm the death of the tea pot man
5. Like how he explained his life in 3 lines
6.dont understand poo-tee-weet
7. Like how he said it in the beginning and in the end
8. Like how his war book was the first chapter
9. Don't like how short his "war book" was could have gone more into detail
10. Think it's funny how he relates the writing to be written by a pillar of salt

Modernist author project

So looking at everyone's comment on the blog and the conversation we had the other day the way everyone else is doing them with prezis and mind maps I don't really know how to do those things so the way I am probably going to end up doing it is with the format you have displayed for us and just add a little more to make it more interesting. Unless I am able to figure out a way to do it a different was really fast.

Vocab review remix

Edward has a chronic pain in his leg. The defect would be him not being able to walk right. It all happened during the phenomenon at the track meet, which he deeply remorses. He was running so savagely to the point of pulling a muscle. Running was so sentimental to him. All of his acquaintances were involved with track, it was more or less his morality. The doctors implication was to stay off his leg for a while. He was furious about it but kept his sanity.

This didn't help me at all. The reason that it didn't help me is because I have plans on going into the Air Force. The Air Force offers free schooling there and being able to apply for the gi bill once I get out. The main thing that I see in my future would be me in the Air Force. Either as a mechanic or in the criminal investigation part of it.

Applied modernism

The reasons that i feel that all these story's show modernism would be they are all alike in a sense. They all speak about the future and how horrible it is going to be. And just being abruptly short. Also is shows the different techniques of writing that has evolved. Such as in Fahrenheit 451 he always uses run on sentences to give you the allusion that you're out of breathe.

One of the main points that makes this a modernist novel would be the imagery. In both of the stories they both portrait imagery. Such as in Richard Cory. They give you this image of a great guy that everybody wants to be alike , but then he abruptly kills himself. This was very suttle when the author told us this. It just ended and that gives you more time to think about what the centeral message is.

Also another for of modernism in these novels would be the allusions. In Fahrenheit 451 the author uses the allusion of you being out of breathe. He does this by making guy montag use run on sentences. This makes you short of breathe while he is also short of breathe. It gives you more of an understanding on how the character in the novel feels

Lastly it is about the future and what it withholds for us. The main thing is , is that it is never even a good thing. It is all bad and dreadfulness and pain and misery I feel like the authors used that kind of writing to make the reader think that life is short. That you should go out and do something with it and not just waist it like its trash because everybody has a meaning to life. You just have to figure out what yours is.

These are the main reasons why I think that all these novels involve modernism.

Modernism

Writing has changed alot over the past 5 years. It's not just writing though its the technology the advertising the way we spend out free time. There are a million different things that I can say that has happened within the past 5 years. The main thing I feel about modernism would be our technology. The technology has changed crazily over the past 5 years. This changes the way that I wrote because look at what I'm doing now. Making a post in a blog. It's a new change and one I feel should stay. Modern.

Essay

Today we had an essay in our class about the novel we have been reading called Fahrenheit 451. I feel like I should have prepared myself more than I did for the essay. I knew about it but my mind wonders throughout the day. The main points that I missed were the themes or the central message. The way that I will work on that next time would be to study harder and maybe skim through it a little more to get a better understanding.
