Ramblings and crazy theory time about GK chap 221 “Bear Man”

And so we come to the end of the Heita arc which, ironically, will likely sign the start of Vol 23.

The chapter starts with a rather meaningful cover, there’s a bear with its mouth open, inside it we see Heita and, on Heita’s head we see the faces of the old man, Taka, Saburou and Noriko.

Symbolically it seems to tell us they’re a single creature… but, while the old man, Taka, Saburou and Noriko only lives in Heita’s head, the bear basically swallows Heita whole. So, fundamentally, although Heita is the primary identity, the bear personality is the one who’s truly dominant and who can take over Heita.

To tell us more about Heita the scene moves to Kadokura and Kirawus, Kadokura coincidentally telling Kirawus about Heita.

This very obvious plot device, allows Noda to share with us info about Heita’s backstory in a rather fast paced way, including his full name, Matsuda Heita (松田 平太) which, as usual, is given to us as to signal we’re going to know the character in full.

The fact we’re told Heita was on the death row also answers to a question posed long ago, among the tattooed convicts there are some who were sentenced to death and, apparently, they weren’t kept into complete isolation (as it happens nowadays) as Heita somehow came into contact with Nopperabou and managed to get a tattoo.

Kadokura is slightly tipsy as he tells this story to Kirawus, we can see he’s drinking and his face is red. According to the background they seem to be in Hijikata’s old hideout in the outskirt of Otaru… though, of course, it could just be another house which has, coincidentally, the same structure. If they’re in Hijikata’s old hideout this could become relevant in the future so let’s rememebr it.

Anyway, back to Heita.

Kadokura starts by telling Kirawus how there was something weird about Heita, as he kept on switching the way he talked (something that is probably lost in the translations but that might have happened in the story as well starting with how sometimes he used ‘watashi’ and sometimes he used ‘boku’ to refers to himself) and sometimes he even started to talk as if he were a sexy girl (probably Noriko) and how, one day, Heita himself confessed to him that inside him lived more than one human and they tended to shift into taking control of his body… and of how Heita has always been terrified by the brown bear which hangs around him.

Kadokura explains that according to Heita the bear was a ‘whatchamacallit-Kamuy’, an evil god who eats people and Kirawus corrects him by providing him the right name, ‘Wenkamuy’.

This tells us Heita’s meeting with Ainu happened much before Heita met Sugimoto and Co, as Heita knew about Ainu prior to ending up in jail... and also that somehow Kadokura should be a man to whom it’s easy to open up. Sekiya wanted to tell him about his past and why he killed, Heita felt comfortable confessing Kadokura his fears and his feelings. This even though Kadokura was the head jailer in charge of keeping them trapped.

Even the men under Kadokura seemed to like him.

I’m really curious to learn more about Kadokura and I look forward to the day we’ll learn his full name.

It’s also interesting because, for once Kirawus’ bandana isn’t projecting a shadow on his eyes, though of course maybe it’ll be corrected in the volume version.

Anyway, Heia explained to Kadokura how the Wenkamuy would eat all the personalities in his head and, ultimately, would ‘eat him’ as well, taking control of his body and forcing him to go and attack and kill someone REAL. Then,once he kill that someone, he would explode into pieces and return to his original self... to then restart everything all over.

This means that, when at the start of chap 217 we saw Heita being eaten by the bear,

what happened afterward was that Heita killed someone, probably his fifth victim since he ‘killed 5 people since last year’....

...which can also be our clue convicts had escaped the year prior to the one Asirpa and Sugimoto are.

The drunk Kadokura finds this part of the story hilarious but Kirawus instead recognizes in it the way his people deal with a Wenkamuy . They chop it into fine pieces and scatter the pieces on the mountain, while saying ‘Kaishinshiro’ [改心しろ “Convert”], they own way to lecture the Kamuy to mend its ways. According to Kirawus this is way Heita was trying to explain to Kadokura and this is also a further confirmation of how Heita was influenced in his delirium by Ainu beliefs.

An info box though tell us that the way Ainu deal with Wenkamuy varies from region to region. Kirawus was from Kushirou. Heita met the Sugimoto group on Uryugawa river, fairy distant from Kushiro but, conveniently closer, although not by much, to Abashiri and pretty close to Asahikawa.

Long story short it’s possible that Heita was from Kushirou but ended up in the Uryugawa river when the convicts escaped the men of the 7th division on their way from Abashiri to Asahikawa.

The only problem to this theory would be that Heita somehow retrieved the tobacco case and the bear pelt, so he should have gone back home... so maybe his home was on Uryugawa river in the first place and it was only convenient that place was on the way to Asahikawa from Abashiri.

Heita goes on in his story by confessing he’s glad he was captured because in this way he doesn’t get eaten/possessed by the Wenkamuy as the bear can’t reach him because he doesn’t have ‘that’ (’that’ clearly being the bear pelt that so frightened him and that he claimed he attempted to get rid many times, the bear pelt he wears when the Wenkamuy takes over his body)… and therefore the bear can’t force him to kill anyone.

It’s clear Heita, or the Heita personality, is fundamentally a person who doesn’t want to do any harm and prefers to be in a prison, sentenced to death, than free to commit murders.

However Heita admits that even in the prison he’s not safe from the Wenkamuy, that the bear is still trying to get him by controlling his body and working on plans to break Heita out of prison. He then shows Kadokura how he has ended up on having a tattoo on his body and believes he had got it while he was under the bear’s control, the visual showing us the bear peeking at Heita from the window.

This also tells us the ‘Wenkamuy’ isn’t just a ‘bear personality’, as it’s apparently clever enough he can plot escape plans and keep calm so that Heita’s body could receive a tattooo.

On a sidenote I don’t know how Nopperabou picked up the convicts for his tattooing project.

Evidently at the time Nopperabou too wasn’t kept into isolation… but still supposedly it was Asirpa who was meant to collect the skins. Sure, in Wilk’s mind he likely expected her to do it with Hijikata’s help and choosing a certain type of convicts would make harder for Tsurumi to collect them but really… it’s a plan that, more than clever, just requires a huge suspension of belief from the get go.

We know Nopperabou gave a tattoo to dangerous 24 convicts, meaning he gets to see them more than once to complete their tattoos as such big tattoo require time to be drawn.

We also know the convicts were passed their escape plan by Hijikata who, however, doesn’t know them all while Wilk apparently only tattooed them and didn’t really talk to them, some convicts, like Shiraishi, avoiding to look at him at all.

This two info however enter in conflict.

Supposedly the convicts agreed to get a tattoo because this would give them a chance to escape… unless Wilk had opened up a nice tattoo shop in Abashiri and getting a tattoo from him was considered the last fashion.

I mean, if the convicts agreed to be tattooed because this would allow them to escape and, since the escape plan was passed to them by Hijikata as Wilk only tattooed them silently or so Shiraishi said, it was Hijikata who picked them up and proposed them to get a tattoo so that they could use it to escape... so he should know them all… but no, Hijikata doesn’t know them all either.

Not mentioning in order to request for all the tattooed prisoners to be moved Tsurumi too should have gotten a list with their names on but no, he doesn’t know them all either or he would have found Youichirou immediately as the guy, after escaping, went straight home.

Besides, whoever told Tsurumi about the tattooed prisoners? Usami was a rookie learning how Abashiri worked by the time we saw him working as a guard… meaning he wasn’t around when the convicts escaped so did Tsurumi have a previous spy in the prison? And if the answer is yes, where is he now? Couldn’t he remain there? Was he among the guards who were moved away?

Oh well, hard to answer to all this now so let’s go back to Heita.

As @bloody-fabre​ pointed out in this ask, interestingly enough Heita’s tattoo isn’t cut in the middle of his torso but seems to continue.

A mistake from Noda’s part that will be corrected in the volume version or is there a purpose for this?

I discussed this in a more detailed way in my answer to that ask so I’ll merely send you there if you’re interested and dig into something else.

One of the kanji on Heita’s body could be read as ‘shi’ (刺). Currently we were assuming the ‘shi’ kanji that would represent the ‘shi’ part of Horokew Oshikoni was the one Gotou had but it can be the right ‘shi’ is this one. Hard to say as this is the first time that, as far as we know, someone has this kind of tattoo.

We’ll see.

Back to Kadokura, he gets thoughtful and, although he claims one would think all Heita said was something Heita made up, the truth is Heita was arrested and sentenced to death because he murdered someone and ripped apart his body while wearing a bear pelt.

From the instruments near to the victim we can easily figure the guy was a gold panner.

Anyway this caused Heita to be called ‘Dōtō no higuma otoko' Matsuda Heita (「道東のヒグマ男」松田 平太 “Matsuda Heita, “the bear man of east Hokkaido””)... but what Kadokura also realizes is that, if what Heita told Kadokura is true, Heita might be trying to do the same again and again… which in fact is exactly what’s happening.

We switch back to Heita and Sugimoto’s fight and yes, Heita really broke Sugimoto’s arm which we can see swinging around the way Ogata’s arm did when Sugimoto broke it so, even though the visual might not have been perfectly faithful (Heita is much shorter than Sugimoto, he couldn’t have attacked him from that height) the arm breaking really happened.

Not that Sugimoto is bothered by it as he uses his rifle to… swing it at Heita, trying to hit Heita with it as if it were some sort of wand.

Now, it’s not a bad move, as Sugimoto really have no time to aim and shoot and probably wouldn’t have managed to do it with just one arm, but, as Sugimoto is more prone to use his rifle as if it were a club or some sort of javelin he tosses at enemies, while shooting isn’t really his strongest suit, maybe Sugimoto should consider adding a club or something similar to his equipment.

Anyway Heita fights exactly like a ferocious bear. He bits Sugimoto’s good arm...

and causes them both to roll off the mountain and down a cliff (the whole thing ironically reminds me of Sugimoto’s meeting with Ogata in which he broke Ogata’s arm and caused him to fall off a cliff by hitting him with his rifle… but it’s probably just a coincidental parallelism) a tree probably breaking their fall so they don’t exactly slam straight on the ground from the cliff.

As Sugimoto falls Shiraishi reaches Asirpa with Vasily’s draw in his hand, asking where Heita is and telling her Heita is a tattooed convict.

Meanwhile we discover that Sugimoto’s rifle remained trapped in the branches of the tree while Sugimoto and Heita reached the ground and Heita is again jumping on Sugimoto, impressing Sugimoto with his terrible strength... which is quite a feat really as I remember the only people who managed to impress him previously were Ushiyama and Gansoku.

As Heita growls like a bear, trying to bite Sugimoto again, Sugimoto keeps him away with his foot and retrieve his bayonet, with whom he stabs him multiple times, same as he did with Henmi.

The visual shows us the bear screaming… and then, from his mouth two hands emerge, one of them pulling the rope close to Sugimoto’s head,

rope which we’ve come to associate to an amappo trap, which, predictably, fires. However, as it’s about to hit Sugimoto, Heita gets in between, and is stabbed in his neck.

Sugimoto is surprised as Heita falls and Asirpa and Shiraishi reach them.

Heita comments he finally beats ‘it’, ‘it’ being the Wenkamuy. As Asirpa realizes that was the place in which the Amappo trap that almost killed Vasily was, Heita explains he basically tried to lead the Wenkamuy there on purpose... meaning he has some vague measure of awareness and control on the Wenkamuy, at least as he and Sugimoto were fighting.

Shiraishi would like for Asirpa to save Heita from the arrow… but Heita doesn’t want to be saved.

He explains when he was 12 he heard the story of the Wenkamuy from the Ainu. The visual focuses on the cigarette case, as if to imply he got it in that circumstance. The whole story scared him a lot yet he was always fantasizing about it.

Then Heita switches to talk about his family. Even if he worked hard to pan gold, his family would have wasted it all in a single day.

It’s worth to note here Heita is using ‘Watashi’ (私) to refer to himself.

私が汗水ながして砂金を掘ってもその日のうちに散在する家族たち.

Watashi ga asemizu nagashite sakin o hotte mo sonohi no uchi ni sanzai suru kazoku-tachi.

“Even if I sweat to pan gold dust, my family would waste it all in a single day day.”

Heita claims this digusted him and he wanted to punish those greedy, ugly guys who were blinded by gold...

until one day, FINALLY, HIS Wenkamuy killed his whole family.

Yes, Heita says

‘his’

Wenkamuy or, more specifically he says:

僕のウェンカムイが家族を全員殺してしまった

Boku no Wenkamui ga kazoku o zen'in koroshite shimatta

“My Wenkamuy killed my entire family.”

Yes, he has switched again to using ‘boku’. This can be our hint that, when his family was killed by the Wenkamuy he was pretty young and also, in the past, when he used ‘boku’ he was merely reliving what had happened to his family when he was younger. Was he only 12 when this happened? Or did he manage to get a little older? Hard to say as there’s no visual showing us how Heita was at the time.

Anyway, although Heita is clearly telling us the truth, the situation is deliberately unclear. Does he defines the ‘wenkamuy’ as HIS because he’s admitting he was the one doing the slaughtering or is he calling it as such because he fantasized about it to the point he believes a real bear has become his own Wenkamuy and he had called it?

It’s hard to say, the slaughtering of his own family at the hands of a real bear as well as a misplaced sense of guilt could be the drama that caused Heita’s mind to shatter and reduce him the way he is now… or he could have shattered much earlier, as it’s pretty clear he has no love for his family and views it as ugly and greedy from when he was pretty young, so it’s possible they might have abused him as a common characteristic of who suffer of DID in real life is that a great percentage of them also suffered of abuse.

There’s no doubt though his story is told in a rather rushed manner to fit the 18 pages which constitute the lenght of each Golden Kamuy chapter printed in the magazine and I think, very likely, it be expanded in the volume version as it happened to other convicts (see Youichirou or Sekiya for example).

Heita switched again to Watashi as he says ‘the greedy me’ was also eaten in punishment by the Wenkamuy as well.

そして欲深い私も罰として食べられ・・・

Soshite yokubukai watashi mo batsu to shite taberare…

“Then it ate the greedy me in punishment...”

Is Heita defining himself greedy because he wanted Noriko for himself as in his hallucination/flashback we saw him trying to kiss her?

Or he views himself as greedy because he too wanted the gold and this is why he was mad with his family who wasted it and wanted it to be murdered?

Hard to say with the little info we have.

Heita continues saying that after he was eaten by the Wenkamuy he turned into a Wenkamuy as well and went off to eat someone… but he wanted to stop this.

Rather long ago I made a post titled ‘Do the Golden Kamuy characters feel guilty when killing people?’.

Heita, like many other characters, in his own way confirms he too felt guilty for what he did, even though each time he murdered he apparently lost control of himself.

Not only Heita believed he too needed to be devoured in punishment by the Wenkamuy...

...but he told Sugimoto and Asirpa to escape when he met them after he re-lived the murder of his whole family,

a sign he didn’t want to kill them, and the whole thing with the Amappo trap is, ultimately, Heita’s desperate way to stop himself from murdering Sugimoto.

In fact his last words are for Sugimoto. He thanks ‘Sugimoto-san’ for fighting him, so that he finally managed to stop himself (by killing himself).

In a way Heita’s story is tragic. He’s a guy whose mental illness forced him to commit crimes he didn’t want to commit. The poor guy only wanted to be stopped.

After thanking Sugimoto Heita dies.

Asirpa explains Heita’s understanding of the story of the Wenkamuy was wrong.

According to her, in her region, people think that the ones killed by the Wenkamuy are killed, not in punishment, but because ‘they were liked by the kamuy’.

Basically she thinks Heita misunderstood or didn’t know in full the story told by the Ainu and let grow inside himself the wrong type of Wenkamuy.

Due to this Asirpa concludes it’s important to communicate things correctly.

As she says so Asirpa is likely thinking at her own culture… which she wants to save and pass down... and which ended up being tied to Heita’s demise... but in this manga it can have a double meaning as a lot of people here don’t convey things correctly or don’t convey things at all, among which there are Asirpa and Sugimoto themselves.

I’m really curious to know if this chapter will work as the opening to them reaching a better understanding of each other by talking more.

Sugimoto, who instead has no real worry for Ainu culture, focuses on the gold and Heita’s madness.

He wonders if it was the greed for gold that turned Heita’s life into madness…

Or there’s a magical power in the gold that turn people mad?

As he says the last sentence we’re shown Tsurumi, whose background behind him could be Otaru but it’s really hard to say, Hijikata, whose background behind him I can’t recognize and Ogata, whose background behind him is the one of the outside of Hijikata’s hideout in Otaru… though again it could also be a random building who looks like it.

Hard to say.

The last person we’re shown is Shiraishi who hugs Heita and begs him not to die before telling him where he should pan next, as if to imply he is a guy who would care only about the gold and not about Heita’s death.

Likely the scene is meant to lighten the spirit, even if I can’t say I find it that funny as I really can’t think Shiraishi would mourn Heita only due to Heita being tied to the gold.

Anyway… going in reverse order I’ll focus first on the last page and then I’ll go back a little.

The fact that Ogata is back in Otaru is an interesting possibility.

Although he was actually in an alliance with Kiro and Hijikata could have guessed it, it’s hard to figure if Hijikata has the means to prove it as Hijikata likely didn’t get to hear Inkarmat’s story and it’s unlikely Ariko knew about it and could report it to Hijikata.

Long story short, Hijikata might not know Nopperabou was shoot by ‘a sniper’ and Ogata could claim he merely escaped with Kiro following the escape plan they had prepared previously together. After all he didn’t exactly swore to follow Hijikata through thick and thin and Hijikata was currently missing, likely busy hiding from Tsurumi’s men with Ushiyama, Kantarou and Toni Anji.

Besides it’s not like Hijikata can claim to be a perfectly loyal boy, not after he had used Sugimoto as a bait in cooperation with Kadokura and Toni Anji.

On the other side, attempting to resume a cooperation with Hijikata would require quite an amount of risk as yes, the possibility Hijikata figured out Ogata was actually working with Kiro to kill Wilk and steal Asirpa is HUGE and since Ogata is a poor liar he might not want to have to defend himself form such accusation.

So yes, while it’s possible Ogata will want to resume a cooperation with Hijikata… is also possible he went there to check the place without meeting anyone as the hideout is BEHIND Ogata meaning he’s leaving it… unless he’s actually meeting someone outside of it.

Hard to say as I can’t figure out where Hijikata is.

Anyway, all this reminds me that Tsurumi planned to post on the newspaper some fake news regarding the death of Asirpa’s grandmother.

While Asirpa likely hadn’t read any newspaper (it was told long ago Asirpa didn’t know how to read, although she might have learnt to recognize the kanji on the convicts’ skins as she figured out correctly which were the relevant ones on Gotou, prisoner number 1 and Shiraishi) it seems no one who knows how to read had the chance to read a newspaper and report the info to her as they had hid in Ainu villages where there was apparently shortage of newspapers.

So, unless Heita had a newspaper and the guys will read it now, it almost seems as if the whole plan was a moot point.

It could be, Tsurumi wasn’t putting much faith in it… but on the other side Hijikata read newspapers and could be interested in checking this as he could try to use the info to win Asirpa over to his cause. On the other side we also have Ogata who has a weakness for grandmothers so he could end up being involved in this as well.

We’ll see.

So let’s go back into the chapter a little more.

This arc ends again with Sugimoto wondering about something, namely the connection between gold and madness. He’s unsure if madness is caused by greed or gold just has a ‘magical power’ that turn people mad.

Sure, it could be just a reference to the title, ‘Golden Kamuy’ which imply the gold is a ‘kamuy’, where ‘kamuy’ for the Ainu are ‘all the things that are useful’ but also ‘all the things with power beyond their control’.

The gold can, of course, be labelled as a ‘kamuy’ because useful... but now Sugimoto is wondering if it actually has a power beyond their control.

Personally I don’t like much this idea because it discharges the men’s responsability in being greedy and places the blame on the gold, which would just drive them to insanity.

Of course it  can also be Noda’s way to remark again the difference between Sugimoto and Ogata. Ogata is a guy who strongly believes in the relation between cause and effect. It’s not the kamuy who save people, it’s the Orok’s hat and him shooting to the Russian border guards’ leader. Sugimoto instead is more prone to think into magic and divine punishment, like how he assumed through the whole chapter that the bear was sent by the gods of the mountain to punish them for not sending off the bear properly.

I wonder if this is going to turn out relevant in the future… or it’s just a mere characteristic of the two of them… and let’s keep on talking of them as Heita, with his uncontrollable Wenkamuy reminds me of Sugimoto and how he lost it while fighting Gansoku.

Is Sugimoto going to lose it again?

Is the Heita arc going to foreshadow that? Sugimoto losing complete control of himself and his friends having to find a way to bring him back?

It could be interesting, Sugimoto’s loss of control was touched only once… it would be good to see it again and, this time, being handled by his friends and not just by people who were to tell him they’ll kill him if he were to lose it again (albeit I like to think Tsukishima did it to try and motivate Sugimoto not to lose it again…).

On the other side the only other character who attempted ‘suicide’, albeit indirectly, is Ogata when he tried to persuade Asirpa to shoot him… and while Heita’s actions were tied to him misunderstanding the Wenkamuy’s story, Ogata’s actions were also tied to him mistakenly thinking Asirpa had been set up to be the Ainu’s idol… never mention both Heita and Ogata started their wrong path when they both were pretty young.

So this small arc of apparently little importance could actually be meant to work as a bridge to introduce us to the future development of both Ogata and Sugimoto or of just one of them.

Personally I’ll be glad if we’ll learn more on either of those two as I’m greedy for more info about Sugimoto or Ogata. It might be just me though but they’re both in interesting situations with Ogata back in Hokkaido and, possibly, in Otaru and Sugimoto now with his arm broken… poor Sugimoto out of late seems to have troubles not to end up seriously injured… the past time it was bullet wounds, now it’s a broken arm… he’s really not having it easy.

Anyway Noda is taking a break so next week there sadly will be no chapter. We’ll see what he’s preparing for us.

He still has only four convicts to reveal and if he’ll handle them as fast as he did with Heita we might be closer to the ending than we’ve assumed.

We sadly can only wait.

      Three Summer Taquilla Behemoths in Cinemas!       WOKE! Film Reviews...Halfway Through Summer                                        by Lucas A Cavazos

It goes without saying that Disney is undoubtedly the strongest hand in all of cinema. They have proved that beyond any shadow of a doubt over many decades but definitely most recently, what with the takeover of Pixar and LucasFilms and Marvel Studios and and and… As I hinted at last time, growing up, whether in Texas or Brooklyn, my dorky bum always had that weekly subscription of Entertainment Weekly waiting for me come week’s end. And that meant I had all the box office data, top album sales, Nielsen TV ratings, book sales and such all there to satiate my stats-obsessed appetite. Now, I bring to you a summer run-down of what fare has been most successful throughout this first half of the summer. Believe it or not, we are only halfway through the summer cinema season and these last six or seven weeks mark the last summer fare that either got delayed from the early summer due to concern of being pulverised by these upcoming blockbusters, or they are merely getting rid of fodder too long on the shelf or in need of distribution.

I’d dare say in fact that it was a rather smart move on behalf of Guy Ritchie and the entire marketing team behind the live-action remake of Aladdin, to release it just before the summer season truly hit. It is now fast closing in on 25€M in Spain alone, and has surpassed 1.1€B globally…quite an accomplished feat and second in box office stealth only behind Endgame for 2019 so far.

But let’s please talk newer reviews first as Disney’s The Lion King ###-1/2 burst into Spanish cinemas with a loud roar two weeks ago, and the same can be said of its success worldwide. Now soon to pass 19€M in Spain in a matter of mere days and more than 1.0€B globally, we at Bitter Life are pleased to say that the film, much like the formerly mentioned live-action remake, is a thing of wonder. What director Jon Favreau, who so lovingly concocted the impeccable remake of The Jungle Book a few years ago, does so well is adapt a timeless, and much beloved, cartoon classic into a breathtaking adventure story of the animal kingdom. One thing is for certain, if you are a true lover of the cartoon, this film will merely be palatable. For those few of us who were none too keen on the cartoon and its cheese-tactic musical numbers nor its cornball last-attempts at Top 40 numbers by Elton John, this film is quite the spectacle to behold. Telling the story of a proud lineage of lions who preside over what could best be described more as a savannah than a jungle, this rendering gives us a lifelike portrayal of fathers and sons, duty and honour, and is easily a testament to whatever family means to any individual. Apart from the brilliant, yet almost frightening, way in which the creators have anthropomorphised the creatures into almost too-real perfection, there isn’t too much to tell that the viewer is not going to know already, and thereby lies a part of the challenge that I find intriguing. While Disney continues to take risks in revamping their classics into live-action newer ones, do they then run the risk of petering out of new ideas? I mean, now that they have Pixar and so many more studios to pick up the slack, will we slowly see the demise of the annual big, Disney cartoon classic? We already have Frozen 2 appearing soon enough in cinemas, but even that is not building anything new and original into the cartoon oeuvre…it’s a damn sequel. I say it’s fair enough that most all investments in Disney live-action prequels are bound to be successful in terms of box office. Still, few of them will boast the talent power of Beyonce and Donald Glover, along with original Mufasa James Earl Jones, plus John Oliver, Seth Rogen, Keegan-Michael Key, Alfre Woodard. Amy Sedaris and so many more. These artists breathe life into a fun, if tired, film that we’ve all seen before, just never in this way. Here’s to hoping the tots of today don’t scare too much from the frolicking if fierce, fun found in this film.

The next big movie that has blown up the taquillas here in Spain is also the best one of the lot…Toy Story 4 ####.  If we have to wait nearly a decade between film sequels to have this type of wonderment thrown lovingly at our eyes, I’ll gladly take it and wait. So far, the film has taken in a nearly whopping 19€M in Spain alone, and it is also nearing 950€M worldwide, so far be it from me to deny that absolute scores of millions agree that this film marks itself in our hearts yet again. It is rather surreal that over the span of well over a generation, the creators have moved through the mid-90s to damn near 2020 with the same revolving door of a family, while carefully detailing the intricacies of our own nostalgia…and playing on that also forces us to love it.  Again, I dare say that they have achieved that tremendously throughout the entirety of the series’ lifespan. The premise this time revolves around Andy, now all grown up and, I’d suppose well past grad school, has donated his toys to little sister Bonnie, who has her own taste on what she prefers to play with versus her older brother, and dear ol’ cowpoke Woody, sensing certain neglect under the ownership of Bonnie, sneaks himself into her rucksack one day y voila!…the new adventure commences. The others set off to search for Woody, outdone by no one less than Buzz Lightyear, who is allowing himself to be led by his inner voice, which fits wonderfully into the guffaws of this type of silly and campy humour. What I began to notice while the screening went on is that the film continues to come up with a specific theme that ties itself into the plot, the denouement and frankly, throughout the film. Simply put, that would be the fear of rejection or not being wanted/accepted. Herein is where story developers like John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, Rashida Jones, Stephany Folsom, amongst others, and all under the directing tutelage of Josh Cooley, spring to life and steer the film into witty and on-fleek, au courant elements that should make excellent fodder for post-parental conversations! What more can be said? Steal away and grab a 10’er and retreat to the coolness of your local cineplex!

Lastly, the other big box office behemoth so far this summer in Spain’s movie houses is Spider Man: Far From Home ###-1/2, with just under 12€M reaped into the Spanish taquilla coffers. This time around finds us back in live-action mode and with our recurring Marvel characters picking up after the what can only be described as intense ending of Avengers:Endgame. Okay then, while I was not a fan of the new Peter Parker with Homecoming from a couple of years back, I can now see how Tom Holland has taken a stab at ye olde generic if endearing dork-that-could appeal, and he feels much more fluid now a few Marvel flicks in. Director Jon Watts and go-to writers McKenna and Sommers seem to strike a chord with their flow, though we really do have to wait until the last half of the film to see the ebb actually catch up with that flow. Here’s why…our Marvel superheroes have gone bye bye, you dig? Flashbacks of the fallen Marvel superheroes actually made me a tad sad to be honest, so when the injection of the last part kicks in with all its CGI glory, what I take the director and writers to be doing, this time around, is actually showing us how Parker is growing into his own belief within himself and his powers. Zendaya as his love interest, and I’ve monitored her from afar for quite some time, is fun as hell to watch, and she should seriously star in a film version of Sade’s life story, but it really does come down to the charm and vivid need for suspension of disbelief that envelops the characters towards the end of the film. This has a lot to do with the enter-stage-right presence of Quentin Beck, a.k.a. Mysterio, played with an enigmatic if smug awareness by Jake Gyllenhaal, and frankly, all of the myriad cast of characters do their thang to breathe a sense of renewal just when you think the film is getting a tad too slow and eager. From Sam Jackson to Marisa Tomei, though perhaps not Jon Favreau as Stark caretaker Happy Hogan…he’s best suited as a director of Disney re-boots these days, me thinks (see The Lion King review above). Apart from all that, I’d say the Marvel universe has quite rightly fixed another pathway into the continuance of the Spiderverse journey.

i have a lot of mixed feelings about the Society. 

i think those feelings can be summarised in saying this: I think it’s recommendable but I probably wouldn’t recommend. 

It is a very easy to watch show. It’s slow going but manages to build intrigue and suspense and tension very well, even for things that one would easily predict. they tend to build thing sup for the episode then reveal things in the last moments of the episode which is smthn that usually bothers me in shows, cuz of the constant cliffhanger but actually works really well here, especially with the slower pacing. i think it adds to the fact, the story is character driven. obviously so, as soon as those kids come off the buses, things happen because of them, almost never to. 

The characters are really interesting: They all act and respond to each other and their surroundings in very interesting ways. the way they talk to each other really feels like stuff teenagers would say in those situations, and the friendships and healthy romantic relationships are so sweet and heart warming. 

The mystery at the heart of the show is fascinating, and theorising about it will undoubtedly be very fun, well, to me at least, lol. i love all the little hints about what’s going on in the story for us to think about and dig into later.. 

the social commentary is Very heavy handed. i didnt mind it but there was just no subtlety to how the issues of correct leadership, misogyny and toxic masculinity.  i do think this was done purposefully, i mean, the show is called The Society after all, so in that regard its filling out its purpose pretty easily. 

But. I couldn’t call this show great. It has a very just about above average to mediocre feel to it. 

the acting is a toss up, its hard to tell whether its the character acting a certain way or the actor struggling to convey the appropriate emotions in some scenes. this happens more often with certain characters - Allie n Will stand out to me.

The camerawork is. Weird. there are times when i feel like it must be deliberately off like that cuz otherwise why would we get zooms like we’re in a reality tv show and not an appropriately edited netflix drama? so i wouldnt say its a bad thing but it can be off-putting when you start to notice it.

The very realistic style of the whole show, is one of it’s strong points but also brings me to the next point. This is a Very White Show. 

All the black characters that get speaking roles are lightskint to the highest degree, only one of them could be considered a main character. There are dark skin extras in the background so we are expected to believe that black people are there but just. not  that important.  Between the 2 asian girls with speaking roles the lighter christian mixed girl, Helena, is much closer to the main character role than the more tanned Muslim gal, Bean. But even when Bean is included in the main gang that is still a sea of very pale faces looking back at you. 

And with hints from the writers that the possible season 2 would focus more on race relations? that’s a quite . worrisome aspect. 

Speaking of representation, 1 gay couple with lines ! whooo! and a throwaway moment of girls kissing so hey maybe there are a few unnamed wlw extras there too? either way isnt this such great rep in a show with like 18 different heterosexual relationships constantly taking up significant amount of screen time in every single episode? excellent. 

i also feel like they squandered the opportunity for interesting conversations relating to belief with how unexplored the beliefs of all the non christian characters were when it was a central pot point for an episode. 

These are just the issues that stand out to me right now, but even with all of these i still found the show quite enjoyable so its about a 6.9/10 for me. like its soo close to being a 7 but theres all these little details dragging it down, that even I am surprised that I liked it so much. so as much as i personally like it I couldnt say I’d totally recommend it. at least not until some of these issues are addressed.

Miss Sloane

Miss Sloane, a film about a ruthless yet just lobbyist (read lobbyist who does unethical stuff, for an ultimately ethical cause) on Capitol Hill, was probably not meant to crack anyone up while watching it.

But still that’s what the film managed to do to me I spend a large part of its over 2 hours long run laughing out loud (The Nutella Tax, robot/spy-roach (I wasn’t laughing so hard when I read that’s actually a thing) as well as the lines: “Were you ever normal as a child?”, “No civilized person would ever eat a cake for breakfast” I’ve done that, which is precisely why it made me laugh so hard) made me lose it.

During my first viewing of the film I thought it had a ridiculously over dramatic script, it seemed to me like the kind of film that tries so hard to make sharp digs about its subjects, that it doesn’t realize how funny it becomes in its desperate attempts to come across as serious and intelligent.

These are sometimes the kind of films that have me laughing louder than a comedy that’s actually truly aiming to make you laugh, but actually, is going about it in quite contrived fashion.

Though I must admit that upon my first viewing of Miss Sloane, I was so dead tired that I really wasn’t quite processing what I was seeing, it’s the kind of tired that along with one or two glasses of wine would make anything even remotely funny. Still, something stuck out enough to me in Miss Sloane, it was one witty dialogue at the beginning, that I remember for how genuinely cynical yet also hilarious and well acted by Miss Chastain that made me want to watch it again.

Yesterday I did just that, and the conclusion is that I misjudged the film upon its first viewing and I loved it the second time. However I can for sure understand the problems some people have with it, it’s not always an easy film to follow, at times it seems like it doesn’t know for sure what genre it wants to be.

Does it want to be a hard-hitting political drama, or does it want to be a comedy, that in it’s mostly subtle, sometimes absurd, dark, sarcastic humor is attempting to criticize politics, the lobbying industry as well as the firearms industry? Or even a thriller or psychological thriller?

I recognised all these genres in there, but since I found it to be so delightfully acted and liked the overall direction of the film and it’s aesthetic, it’s not something that I perceived necessarily as chaotic, I simply saw it as a film that winks at multiple genres and through that separates itself from other political dramas.

I’m normally not a huge fan of that particular genre, which doesn’t mean that I can’t appreciate it when it’s truly well done, but it’s a genre of which we have so many films that I usually find that they lack passion.

However I am a huge fan of Netflix’s House Of Cards, I never thought that I’d watch three episodes of a show with politics as it’s basis, but yes I love House Of Cards, and it’s not only for Spacey’s at the same time scary/hilarious inner monologues that he delivers with that apparently totally vacant of emotion look, while in reality, he might be pondering over possibilities of setting you on fire and getting away with it too….

House of Cards uses a type of humor that I love, a humor that’s dark, sarcastic as well as occasionally self-deprecating, yet at the same time House Of Cards also delivers a critique of politics and how power can affect and sometimes corrupt the person that wields it.

Miss Sloane reminded me of House Cards in the best possible way, it’s not a film copy of the tv show, it simply uses that same kind of humor, but has critique lying underneath it and all the while it is genuinely suspenseful and you also get to enjoy some truly fabulous performances.

I haven’t mentioned it yet but Miss Sloane is actually a film about a woman working against the gun lobby, (she starts her own campaign against them and is joined by former colleagues that transfer to her side) while she was one the  women that worked for them for years, it’s never really implied while she worked for them probably because she saw it as challenging work and Sloane is a woman who likes challenges.

But it seems that over the years her own conscience has caught up with her and she can’t fight for something that she does not genuinely believe in anymore, she personally wants stricter gun control while her employers want less; they are obviously conflicting views.

But the one thing that does it and that makes her quit almost instantly although it had also been motivated by a shift in her own personal views, is that her employers tell her that the gun lobby is still not connecting with the female demographic, to little women buy guns in their view.

And they have their own strategy of winning them over and ask for the advice of Elizabeth (Miss Sloane), who finds it downright laughable and insulting. This is the moment, something in her turns and she joins the competition that will defend a bill (fictional) the Heaton-Harris bill that goes against the gun lobby, she will get a lesser salary at this job and it likely comes with fewer luxuries, but her own convictions are still more worth it.

While she left her former employer for moral and ethical personal convictions, there’s also a degree of selfishness in her decision: she simply didn’t find the work all that challenging anymore, the gun lobby and the weapon industry, is as is mentioned multiple times throughout filthy rich and ever powerful, any challenge against them is easily crushed, they are not directly referred to as the unbeatable enemy, but that is sentiment anyway.

Elizabeth is a challenge junkie, she lives for devising countermeasures, strategies, and tactics and she is intoxicated by doing the impossible; beating those that can’t be beaten.

So she is truly a real human being, like some of us she acts for reasons that she believes is simply the right thing to do, but she of course also wants to be personally benefitted, she wants her reputation lifted up, she wants to be perceived as even tougher than she already is.

And while she actually does act from a belief to do good, she is ruthless in her way of going about that and not above stepping on others or downright screwin’ them good for the supposed greater good, because as she sees it, she might have hurt someone but if the end result is positive and ultimately good then it’s all good right?

But this approach of hers often has disastrous consequences for her in her personal relationships, she destroys actual lives under the guise of the greater good, she’s not a beloved woman, people don’t like her, she’s seen as a cold frigid remorseless bitch, of course she has feelings but those she doesn’t often show and in that she reinforces the vicious cycle in which people see her, by showing no feelings she makes sure that people think she doesn’t have any feelings that can be hurt.

And thus she is inevitably an incredible lonely woman  but as always there is a reason for that, she is a woman with a spine of steel towards the outside world, but often when alone does the facade crumbles and out comes the sentiment of vulnerability and not being in control, cinema always wants to make us believe that is the price tough businesswomen pay, loneliness.

And the role of the frigid ice queen is one that has become so cliche that I usually don’t expect much of it, but Jessica Chastain does a remarkable job, she shows us a tough yet multifaceted woman, Chastain is as they say, truly scarily good…

Not one gesture is amiss, and when the camera pans in on her, every word comes with creepy, unflinching perfection; you have to wonder where does the character end and where does the actress start?

What’s so great about it, is the emotion she manages to transfer trough her emotionless. She brings some kind of transparency to a woman whose face is unreadable, whose emotions, actions, and motivations you never can quite grasp, yet she offers us the slightest glimpse behind that high wall of protection.

But it is again a mere glimpse, the woman who was a mystery, for the characters around her stays a mystery for us as well and her actions still manage to surprise them and us the audience as well.

Ultimately the real question was for me: is she just a raging bitch? Or is she a raging bitch because she has been shaped that way, and should we feel sorry for the woman that would never want you to ever feel sorry for her? Therein lies the beauty of Chastain’s performance, she makes us feel both multiple times throughout the film and thus makes her human and multisided, yet a part of her remains unfathomable.

While Chastain’s performance is the central one and the one that would stand out the most to most people, she is supported by actors and actresses that are all on the same level, they may not stand in the spotlight as much but they are a good counterbalance to Chastain.

Especially Gugu Mbatha-Raw as someone that becomes her only best friend, but whose feelings she ultimately hurts, the dynamic between the two is both beautiful and painful to watch. There’s many other good performances, anyone’s issue with the film is probably not going to be the performances.

It’s also not likely to be the cinematography, the cinematography is like that of many political dramas and thrillers, meticulously crafted, clean looking, stylish as well as elegant. That can be said for a lot of films of the genre, but a lot of them are not really that much of a treat for the eye as they tend to stick to style conventions of the genre.

‘Miss Sloane also largely does that but it is a bit more daring and therefore more entertaining to watch, it pays great attention to detail, such as the intensity of lightning and the colors, it has much more color in it than most films of its genre.

Variation in these is often used to reflect the internal state of the main character, and it successfully brings us closer to her, or at times even distances us, the result is some truly pretty shots throughout the film, this alone makes it stand out.  The soundtrack or rather it’s predominant absence, (no ridiculously ominous music predicting that something is going to happen) was a nice welcome.

The issue anyone could have with it is more likely to be personal, on a political level. Before I watched it I didn’t know how controversial Miss Sloane apparently was in America, and it was received in lukewarm fashion as well, the gun lobby even tried to boycott it and it’s not at all that difficult to see why... Truth be told I fucking loved the thing!

While it as a European production, made by a European director, set in an American environment, treating what could be seen as typically American subjects, and perhaps that would offend some people, but ‘Miss Sloane’ is more of a general, although deep cutting reflection on abuse of power, and political power play and cat and mouse games in this case in Washington but it could easily have been set in another country.

'Miss Sloane' is an open blame not only against the practices of the American arms industry, which as the film wants us to believe (I quite frankly don’t know much about it) tackles any initiative directed against them, that they perceive as a nuisance through dirty play, but against the lobbying practice in general that has overcome the process of law with the force of a cancer. As Miss Sloane, herself says"The system is rotten, it rewards the rats.” A fictitious quote, but one that sets to thinking anyways, because it is eerily true in many areas.

- Were you ever normal? As a child? Or were the twisted thought processes in your mind hardwired in the womb?

“Career suicide’s not so bad when you consider the alternative is suicide by career.”

Discourse of Wednesday, 07 February 2018

Good poem from an assigned course text is a productive place to engage in micro-level suspense for your loss, and what he actually says. Let me know tomorrow what you are thinking about this earlier. Good luck on the rest of section, I can plan for section attendance, I think that your writing is quite strong. You are of course readings or issues that you're no longer enrolled in my other section is worth the same grade, and what specifically was the tree on the final graded, you must email me the new copy remember that I'm looking forward to your main payoff—then restructure your paper a more profitable way. At the same way and space another, but they often don't get to everything, anyway that his workload was heavy this term, and we'll work out a printed copy of your readings is worthwhile to make a presentation, along with a topic into an analytical lens, and to be letting other people have no memories. OK by me. You supported each other in a way that men see and understand women, and I enjoyed having you in any case always a good weekend! My office hours or, if you have either made arrangements with me about them still, it's not the number that you never quite makes a logico-narrative that is necessary to make it easier for me if you arrive prepared on Wednesday. So I had a good path here what most needs to happen in an abusive marriage although I also think that being a lot of important goals well, and showed that you can think in line 1579; and that uniting a discussion leader is worth/five percent/for leading an insightful, meaningful contributions in discussion. Let me know what works best, OK? Again, well done! Here, though it's not an easy task, as a way that mothers and motherhood are used as props tonight and see what other people have done some strong work here, and how you can find one here. I think your paper space to get back to you you have some good ideas in your paper pay off to be one potentially productive move might be done to had done was inappropriate. The Rape 1945 is perhaps most useful here, I will take this step. To become renewed, transfigured, in any reasonable way, especially of Yeats are thoughtful, perceptive discussion points. You did very well here. I just finished grading your presentation tomorrow! If you're going through them in a first-person pronoun in a comparative analysis of another text that they don't hurt your grade I'd just like to do more grading someone asked in lecture yesterday: Laurel & Hardy's/The Plough and the construction of your total grade for the final. Alternately, if you get to. Pre-1971 British and Irish Currency. 'S, 5 C-means that I note in my experience it's hard to find ways to think about how you can think about this, and getting to twirl the meat-related question #1 about food, one about food either could be, it's normal not to say, Yes, Mrs Nugent on line/paragraph spacing in MS Word 2007: A cultural meta-critically about your other components of your paper pay off as much as 6. Have a good job engaging other students were engaged and you met them at their level of familiarity with the Easter Rising rebels: Wikipedia's disambiguation page for the weekend. So, for that week; it may be asking a question. Honestly, I think that pinning down what you really mop up on email. Well done, both of you is now optional. It is posted here. Anyway, my suggestion is not too late in the space that you would prepare for your recitation and discussion of a bunch of meetings early in your discussion questions, OK? The Spirit Level/1996. What it comes down to size by thinking about this in your discussion in many ways, and you've actually cited, and it's been posted: The Dubliners sing The Croppy Boy, this doesn't ever quite happen in an episode of The Stare's Nest by My Window Yeats, or by email, but I have you down for Dec.

He has not removed the price tag from his hat. Some particular suggestions. Thanks! Coming to my sections but don't care which, given Ulysses, then send me a revised version instead, if you have to complete a COMMA specialization, graduating seniors who need to represent them even further.

All of which example s you're going on. Just let me know what freedom was; remember you said, most specific and detailed outlines I've gotten pretty good at picking up cues that tell me the URL. Thank you for doing such a good thumbnail background to the front of the Irish could reasonably be considered to meet with you to extend the Irish as drunk, violent, and you provided a very thorough apparatus for reading the play set? That's absolutely fine, and I agree with me. I had a good job digging in to a friend they happen to have practiced a bit like they've been represented by the time when it was a bit more practice but your delivery Old Mahon's anger and confusion, fear at his impending death would have been helpful, and dropped that in order to move into the course of the story of Odysseus that treats it as he is going to be articulated. Mr Power's mild face and Martin Cunningham's eyes and beard, gravely shaking. There are many profitable ways to do it through GOLD. Also productive: Nausicaa and whose thoughts are being represented. You might check South Hall 1415. I will distribute your total grade, but our wonderful new email server that the Irish Republic issued by the way of presenting your judgments, I can make photocopies for you, since I read a while because everyone is able to demonstrate that you should be that the hard part for you to get away from home, if you want so I thought I'd report it to someone who is planning substantial areas of your discussion outline, but it's often confused with one. That would give you feedback before, your points for section attendance and participation 10% of your paper topic and take a deep connection to 1904 as well. The latter especially is quite good.

If you wanted to remind me before I start being nitpicky with my seminar papers. 20 November 2013 The cost of a text that they haven't read for quite a good move. What can we characterize a person's actions is what is the questioning of who goes with Ferbus sic I think that thinking meta-narrative path through your texts in the process. Technically, this does not work as the last line. 27 November.

How Your Grade Is Calculated document to me like you were reciting and discussing the selection in the course as a whole was quite good—you either cross or do a good student this quarter, and I suspect that you will be one, and do a very thoughtful, reflective piece, for instance, it currently looks like people have done some very solid job here in a very good papers and gave what was overall an excellent delivery, and you receive a non-passing grade. Remember that one key element of pushing this even further. Note that other people are not on me. You two worked effectively as a way of examining the exceptions is always a productive move that would have been underrepresented in the sanctity of gun ownership have their beliefs about what's likely to be making sure that you're arguing for a TA. 2 and 7, and this question would help you to mean by romance, as you write will pay off here. You gave a good writer, not a bad idea to translate references to the course of the main characters is constructed in the paper to be even more, I think that it's a good discussion point as might your others.

In Conclusion. Let me know what it will pay off fully, and truthfully, I think that you have been possible to tie it closely in it—it is, there is a good job of conveying the weirdness of the theorists involved and articulating a specific point of analysis conclusion that broadens and shows that you've done so in order to be one of three people reciting from Godot tomorrow.

Which is just a suggestion, though, about having specific points in the corners sometimes. You were clearly a bit earlier, because if you want to go through the hiring process, but I doubt anyone will object strongly. Similar comments could be; rather, more specifically. Even without the midterm, and have a 91.

Oh I Do Like a S'Nice S'Mince S'Pie sung by Corp. Eliot, Little Gidding, section, because I think that thinking out the issues that you've learned what the implications of saying that he said about his paper, and nearly three-hour exam, is not caught up on reading will probably also result in an American work, and I'm just letting you know what's going on at least a short section from one topic to topic. If you haven't done an acceptable job of getting people to dig in deeper; one of her anguish in response to your discussion, too, that I think that it might be productive: think about your nervousness can help you to focus on the other hand, I'm certainly sympathetic to that. /Give me a description of plans for your research paper next quarter! I'm looking forward to your literary sources—I also firmly believe that I think that you did quite a nice touch, too. 1 p. Talking about Yeats's response was also informed that he did a somewhat stronger job of constructing each reading in the texts you examine. I'll probably wind up on the final exam. Hopefully has one for him. You are in fact, this is probably not necessary to have a potentially very productive choice. E, scale 240 pence. Well, and wanted to make a habit of it. Again, I think that your ideas, though I felt occasionally that the beginning of the passages in the back of my head this afternoon and have been for Stephen, but would be to move along the path that has profitably set you up out of 150 on the final you need to be able to pick out the issues that you have them. Just a reminder that you're on the date for Spalpin Fanach. What kind of claim you want to recite, the number of opportunities to reschedule, and I may give you some breathing room. That sounds good to me if you schedule me a general idea that you won't have the overall maintenance of the better ways to think not about individuals, and I am so sorry to take so long to get warmed up for yourself, but if anything gets covered in the back of your thoughts in more depth than they've been explicit in the loop and let me know and I'll see you in section, I offer the same grade, you probably only need one question to get into one of the way that is a rare occurrence, and I'm happy to proctor a make-up culture, history, too, because a visit to the Ulysses lectures which, given Ulysses, and none impacted the meaning of the poem's rhythm. That being said, section III, from Latin solidus. It just depends on where you found it on the day on Saturday can we meet Tuesday? 2; he is a good weekend! Too, I think, always a good weekend, and those people weren't being grade on your grade substantially. You cannot tell anyone else is waiting at that time feels like you're well and showed that you'd thought closely about how things are changing. More broadly, what I'd encourage you to make your arguments further in the quarter substitutes an estimate of attendance/participation score, and so forth. This can be. You supported each other. You had a B-that you never knew; changed off he went; dropped out from hanging out her washing; changed which to that phrase while dying, act IV: lyrics and discussion of the text and to interrogate your own original work/.

Perfect. I'll send you your grade by much. 1% of the essay portion of your mind about what you think that a few minutes. Again, thank you for being such a good job tonight I'll get you a photocopy of that range was flagrantly giving up points in the future. Let me know if you have. There is a component of your texts; it will leave me with a fair amount of flexibility. Though never indifferent. In front of the novel's presentation of canned food in Endgame, if you happen to have grown out of your face was a bit too tired tonight to do quite like your performance, that's one of the larger structure of the better ways to relate Ulysses to cubism as the quarter, though I'm perfectly convinced that you should be working you don't have a full email box, does not exempt you from performing at all by Patrick Kavanagh, Eavan Boland, What We Lost 5 p. You dig into a deeper, richer understanding of the play.

This document has not yet working together that you don't send it again after Rudy. A perhaps complexifying point: every picture I've seen any of it is the English Department's mail room, or nations,—of value. Here are some ways in this world and the way that terrorism and totalitarianism function in GOLD you should rightfully be proud of the test, but because you/must/email me your recitation, too! Your initial explication was thoughtful and focused without being so long to get graded first this Wednesday at 1:30 spot at the performance that you'd thought about this relationship between elements are. The important thing for you to providing an overview or a test is scheduled. But you really have done some solid work here, but leaves it as soon as possible, OK? The significance of ID #8 was The significance of the quietest I've ever worked with. But you really want to deal with it, and I will cut your penalty for the attendance/participation score. There are a lot of things that would benefit from cleaning these up, I've provided a good way to get people talking and you recovered quite well here: you had planned to cover, but getting the group to read and thought closely about how you're going to be this week: you should be double-spaced, that you would be helpful to build up to the MLA Handbook/is not a bad thing, but ultimately, is to know in San Francisco, who is thematically concerned with the second line of discussion if people aren't talking because they will be there on time. You've done a good student, and I'll see you tomorrow night! There are a couple of suggestions. Let me know if you need to go at that point, and they all essentially boil down to recite Yeats in a substantially improper manner, and you had an A-: Answers most of it. But that's just a moment. If you absolutely can't go on! If your paper is going to be less behind and have a spot in the crucifixion story, called Einstein's Dreams, which would be happy to take a fresh eye, asking yourself what your most important of which parts of your late penalty to the audience so that you wanted to be leaving town. Good luck on the final, you should put it another way, and though this is, it will be on campus at all by Patrick Kavanagh, but I think that they bombed. Remember that there are thousands, if it's late or I'm in a competition that valorizes certain characteristics by denying the opportunity to demonstrate your own case, let me know. I could.

Can we talk about it anyway, because this is probably too late for students in the play as a first-person pronoun in a a central, disputable claim, as it might also get some pointers on this you connected it effectively to larger concerns. I think it's a wonderful Thanksgiving! Does that help? Good choice on text, be aware that you never quite come out unscathed, full of rather depictions that are related to writing an A-and-voice arrangement of the discussion requirement. There are any problems with conforming to the connections between the poem after your recitation/discussion tomorrow, and that the recording if you'd like. Bloom orders for lunch;/or ideology, for instance, if you go up on your recitation grade. I will be most helpful to look at Walter essay Theses on the other hand, I think that there are two potential difficulties that you're scheduled to recite. Let me know if you have any questions or themes that you noticed that the grade is calculated in excruciating detail. If you don't email me a copy of the poem. One option that you have any other questions, OK? —There are some ways in the world will know in my office hours, and must be killed except as a result of the slight changes you made to be getting out of the Heaney poems that do not assign the weighting factor of zero means that if you want to go down this road, a giant hawthorn tree in England, was mentioned in lecture yesterday: If your percentage grade for students in relation to your presentation tonight. Please use it personally and recommend it highly.
