Maus

The graphic novel Maus is a new revolution in literature, this book bring to comic books to a new level and new perspective. This novel that is like a comic book is not about super heroes or a fantastic adventure in the robot world, this book is about a real event in life with character that could be real, except for the part that they are animals in human form, but this also have a symbolic meaning.
The graphic novel is at his name describe , the story is a novel of about 300 pages in form and with illustration of comic books. This concept will be more appealing to younger readers who gets easily bored my long and extensive reading like a common novel. This book is a mix of narrative and picture that will entertain and at the same time complement the reading.
This graphic novel have two main characters, one is Vladek a Jew survivor of the German invasion and the other main character is his son Archie who is a cartoonist and want to make book in form of a comic of the story of his father. The first volume of the book revolve more about Vladek and how he survive during the second World War. He narrate to his son Archie all about his life in Europe before arriving to America, how he meet the love of his live and how he struggle to survive in the Ghettos. From the first volume to the end of the book there is also the live of Archie and his bad relation with his old father. Archie want o make a book about the story of Vladek when his was in Europe, and for this reason his start to spend time with him, but the shadow his dead mother do not permit Archie to come in terms with his father.
The story of the book is really great and I enjoy it reading it because of this new type of literature, I hope that many boring books that tell great story and event could learn a little of this style.

Butterflys Were Not Always Beautiful

The drama of this play really shocked me from the beginning to the end of the play. At first I though of this play as a humorous one but as the story continued it transformed to a sad one. Above the real event of the history of the world this play represent and above the interpretation of the relation of the west and the east , what It truly felt of this play was the tragedy of Gallimard.
In life there is nothing more painful than the pain of love. Gallimard suffer the greatest atrocity that can be done to a person who is truly in love. This men fell in love of what he considered to be the perfect woman, Chinese woman who was an opera actress. Gallimard was a men who constantly doubted of his masculinity so he first married a woman who was not that attractive and because of her history hardly any man could felt in love with her, and Gallimard was not the exception. Gallimard went to a Chinese Opera title M. Butterfly, and opera that he always like because he always wished to be the very masculine Pikerton who married a Chinese woman that was very submissive. Gallimard felt in love with the actress who played Cio-Cio Sang, called Song Liling. Gallimard saw in in Song that submissive woman and they started an affair. During their relation Gallimard never saw Song naked because she was very shy but she sometime please him in other ways that do not involve in penetration. They were both in love but Song always showed herself very interested in in Gallimards work as a diplomat in the government and she made Gallimard to retrieve for her important file about the United State war movement in Vietnam.
The tragic part comes now the part that shock me and made me felt sad. After twenty years of, love romance and desperation Gallimard was accused of giving secret information to a Chinese spy. Gallimar was send to the court were he learn a very painful truth, but it was also a truth that he somewhere hidden in his heart always new. In the court Gallimard met the real Song, Song was a spy for the Chinese and use Gallimard to obtain secret information of the government, but that was not all, Song was a men, a men who really felt in love of Gallimard and after all he wanted to be with him. Gallimard was devastated and he decided to live in the fantasy were his Butterfly existed. Gallimard was sent to jail and after many years he decided that he could not longer live in shame and kill himself.
Gallimard suffered humiliation and betrayal by loving a woman that never existed he ended up having the same faith as Cio-Cio Sang in the Chinese Opera, the faith of the woman he always wanted.

What can I choose: TV or book?

When I read Sienfield on the script I found it a little funny, by reading it i could imagine how the act was going to be and the setting, but when I saw the show, for me was much better. The show was more humorous than the script and i could understand the plot better . It seems that what really make this play more humorous are not only the words but also the expression and the appearance the actors project on the show. It is true that by reading the script you can use more your imagination and that may be the way that you imagine the things by reading the script are not the same as when the put all the image and all the setting in the show. But in the case of these play the script was for me only words that needed more life, words that could not be independent. this word needed the expression given in the show.

There also other cases when people like book better than the movie, may be because the story of in the book is more completed, it may have more details about something, some character in the book are in one way and in the movie they because of the character seems different as the way you imagine it in the book. I personally believe that there are books that much better than the movies they made of it and there are movies that are much better than their books.

Sunset are inevitable

In the poem called Acceptance by Robert Frost , the author try to present his massage using nature, by using the sunset and the inevitable coming of the night of every day we have to accept it like we have to accept the thing that occur in our live. When the poet say : " When the spent sun throws up its rays on cloud And goes down burning into the gulf below, No voice in nature is heard to cry aloud At what has happened." The poet by using the sunset as something inevitable he is representing the thing s that occur in our live daily. The author also try to said that we have to be like the nature in the way that they do not cry for the things that happen.

Murmuring something quiet in her breast, One bird begins to close a faded eye; Or overtaken too far from his nest, Hurrying low above the grove, some waif Swoops just in time to his remembered tree. At most he thinks or twitters softly, 'Safe!", in here the poet use the birds as an example that when the night come they do what they must do to survive for what is inevitable , the same thing that with have to do with our live. Now let the night be dark for all of me. Let the night bee too dark for me to see Into the future. Let what will be, be.' " In this part the author conclude what he is presenting about accepting live as it is and continue on.

Poet

When a poet wrote have to choice and order words and use a tone, and all that is called diction. A poetic diction use elevated language instead of ordinary language and has several levels of diction. The formal diction is the use of elevated language; middle diction is a less formal level of language; and informal diction uses a conversational manner as dialect or jargon. Also the meaning of the word is important in a poem, the denotations and connotations. In “The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner”, the words of the poem have denotation and the reader has to decipher to what poem refer to and the tone is serious. In “she being Brand” the author manages the automobile jargon but the denotation is referring to sex and the jargon creates a humorous mood. _________________________________________________________________
