Journal Post: March 22

Eminem once said, "Rap is my drug."  What did he mean?  How was his experience with rap similar to or different from Bernard's experience with Soma in Brave New World?


 When Eminem said "Rap is my drug." What he meant was no matter how good It felt when he rapped it always left an emptiness in him that only seems to grow I think this relates to Bernard's experience.

Jounal Post: March 19

 JOURNAL TOPIC:
Describe what you want and need out of today's Socratic seminar in order to succeed on the Modernist Author Project hack (due next Monday, March 25).

I would like to have gone over Ideas for possible hacks and to talk more about each others projects an possesses so I could get a feel of what I'm doing exactly. My mind seems to work better when I see things done not told how to do them. Ever heard of the term "Seeing is believing"?  Well its kinda like that. I just tent to think better in action and not words, It helps me keep from being lazy and in the way.

(From now on I will be posting my Journals on my blog to help me stay on task.)

      I was planning on doing like a Short timeline about Knut Hamsun's life and talk about how he grew up. After all that's what his book "Hunger" Is about. His own impoverished life as a young man that with fail, tries to keep a public respectability and repeatedly trying to get a job in his starving poverty.

I'm still in prosses of reading the book so it may take time to make this timeline.

I know this is kind of the stereotypical "school kid" assignment and Dr. Preston would like us to "Hack it" as we put it but im having trouble thinking of idea.

I'm always ears open for suggestions
