Stephen King's "Production Schedule"

The discipline needed to write a story is necessary, so the person writing the story doesn't slack off or procrastinate. The discipline I'm going to start putting on myself is a heavy one, more work less procrastination. I do not always write at the same time of day but i do believe that a person should write when they are most comfortable. When a person is comfortable, they are more relaxed and less stressed about the work at hand. Maintaining a steady pace will help with reaching a goal. Rushing makes the work look sloppy, but taking your time makes you catch your mistakes and are less likely to make them. Sticking to a strict routine doesn't help all too much. If you stick to a routine, it'll make you feel less like working and won't do a good job on it as you should have.

The Search For Zora Neal Hurston

Walker was able to use the settings and descriptions Hurston uses in her stories to help find Hurston's grave marker. One of the settings she used was the description of the five lakes that surround the town of Eatonville. It shows her the life of Hurston by seeing how and where she lived.

The Sadness of Janie

Janie feels blue because the idea of love she had was shattered. She believed love was brought to a person by marriage. Logan Killicks proved  her dreams wrong by her not loving him even though they were married for an extened period of time. Even now Janie is not completely happy with the marriage she is in with Joe Starks. She doesn't get her say in things no matter hyow hard she tries. She feels like she has failed her Nanny because she left her first husband, the one that was hand chosen for her.

Years of Questions and Answers

Janie will start to find new questions and answers of her life through-out the many years. Janie discovered she was brown when she thought she was white and the kids at the school made fun of her for being raised by the white family. The question still stands what will happen to her in the future? I think she will go through many more love interests before she can finally understand what love truly is. However, will she ever find the man to make her realize what love truly is

10. Most people have to live according to their own heart to be happy.

I agree with this because if you don't follow your heart, how can you truly be happy? I say this because, the heart holds your most near and dear dreams. Without what makes you happy in your heart, no one can really say they are truly happy. The happiness we hold, we metaphorically hold in our hearts, because whenever we feel an emotion, we feel it where our heart is at. People do not have to live by their heart to be happy, but to be in eternal happiness, the heart shall lead the way. My heart led me to the happiness i am in now.

Questions of The Great Gatsby

1) What made the women think that Gatsby's background is of something dark or evil?
2) Why did Nick write down all the names of the people that came to Gatsby's house during the parties?
3)Why didn't Nick talk to Tom about his mistress, even though Tom has Daisy?

The Bloody Party

Then there were bloody towels upon the bath-room floor,
Women’s voices scolding,
High over the confusion a long broken wail of pain.
Mr. McKee awoke from his doze and started in a daze toward the door.
When he had gone half way he turned around and stared at the scene
His wife and Catherine scolding and consoling as they stumbled here and there.

Among the crowded furniture with articles of aid,
The despairing figure on the couch, bleeding fluently,
Trying to spread a copy of Town Tattle over the tapestry scenes of Versailles.
Then Mr. McKee turned and continued on out the door.
Taking my hat from the chandelier, I followed.
  >Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (Chap. 2 Page 41-42)
