Angela Carter
Angela Carter has a very interesting way of interpreting original stories. Most of her stories make you feel uncomfortable and confused but in a good way if that makes sense. In her book the Bloody Chamber she interprets mostly stories that have a moral to them. Even some of the characters in her book have prior knowledge to these original stories but they still end up messing up. For example, in the first story "The Bloody Chamber" the main character mentions that she knows the story of bluebeard but still falls for the same trap.
My thoughts
I think that the books I have enjoyed the most in this class are Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep and Oranges Are not the only fruit. They both had a film based on them that made what was going on much easier to understand and they were very interesting to read and watch. Dystopian literature seems to attract many readers. So do books about real life situations such as sexual inequality.
Freeway
The movie Freeway was hands down my favorite movie in this class. It was an interpretation of the little red riding hood. But instead of her being afraid of the wolf, she kicks the wolf's ass and anyone else who gets in her way. In this movie she is very aggressive. Maybe that has something to do with the fact that her mom is a drug addict/prostitute and her step dad is a drug addict/felon who wants to have sex with her. I find it funny that the guy is supposed to be the "wolf" in the movie is called Bob Wolverton. Also, you can tell that Vanessa Lutz was supposed to be little red riding hood because in the beginning she had a red leather jacket on and the basket with all of the stuff she was going to take to her grandma. During the scenes where Bob offered her a ride she was very gullible and accepting to everything. He must have thought that she was going to be and easy catch. Boy was he wrong.

Finishing up the blog
Yet another semester has passed and this being my last English class has me appalled. I took your class for English 101 and loved it so much, I knew I had to take you again. English has always been my favorite subject throughout my years of school. I feel like, the professor makes it that much more enjoyable when they're passionate about what they do. The readings you chose for us, all held their own meaning and definition of Post-Modern literature and really allowed us as a class to understand the term. You definitely made wise choices in the novels you selected such as Jeanette Winterson's, Oranges are Not The Only Fruit and Angela Carter's Bloody Chamber. Those were probably my favorites overall. I feel like Winterson's novel was so appealing mainly because she spoke on a subject that individuals deal with in today's world. I enjoyed Carter's novel because it was interesting to see the twists and turns on the fairy tales we've heard of all our lives. And I cannot forget about the movie was viewed after the novel, Freeway. Such a great movie! I enjoyed your class this semester, and I'm sure I would even if I took another ENG class by you. Happy Holidays everyone!

Overall, my favorite novels from class had to be Phillip K. Dick's novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" because of it's appeal and possible foreshadowing of what our very own future may be like in many years to come with progression of technology. "Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka was easily another favorite because of it's strange and eerie depiction of what someone's life can be like if they were to feel lost, hopeless, and incapable of changing anything for the better which likely could be hinting at the kind of life Kafka lived. Other novels such as "Carpenter's Gothic" and "The Bluest Eye" were a bit more difficult to read since the dialogue of these novels were a bit more difficult to follow and you would constantly have to look back to really understand what it was you read or you could be lost along the way. But in all, each novel presented different aspects of literature that I'll never forget and have opened my mind up to more books and their own unique elements such as post-modernism.
Freeway
The movie "Freeway" was interesting and I liked the twist from "Little Red Riding Hood" that it added. The character Vanessa was portrayed to be someone living in an unstable family and the reality of her life is that she has nobody that can provide moral support for her and even appears to have her own issues. Yet for some reason, she is an extremely appealing and like-able character because even though she's had to endure so many hardships with her family being taken from her, the death of her boyfriend, and ultimately her having to be in prison, she somehow had reason to move forward and not let anything mentally cripple her. Her survival against Bob Wolverton, who'd ironically in this case would be the big bad wolf, was brutal but yet inspiring since she was intelligent enough to act well under pressure and turn the odds against Bob by taking his gun from him and shooting him to the point of paralyzation. This was arguable better than the screening of "Blade Runner" which was an incredibly interesting movie on its own and a lot can be learned from "Freeway".

I liked this class. I liked the fact that we were discussing the books in class and it was opened to different interpretations. The novel that I would drop is "The Carpenter's Gothic ". Personally I found it hard to follow but one the other hand It was the first time I was reading a novel entirely written in a dialog's style. It is always good to discover writing style that we don't know. Of course, all I say is from my perspective. There are some passages that I found boring and didn't see the point. The end was also unexpected! the main character died in a way as ridiculous as there persue of the father's money. I think the author wanted to show that by running after money, they forgot to live and pay attention to what really matter. But the style is still not appealing to me. But i recognize that Gaddis is a virtuoso in writing stories using dialogues.
There is a novel that I would recommend. When I read Kafka I immidietly think about it. The styles are similar. The novel title is " Foam of The Daze" by Boris Vian ( 1920- 1959). It is a "Science fiction romance that mingles bittersweet and surrealist absurdity with a melancholic meditation on the frailty of life". Here I paste the sumary ("Raymond Queneau called it the "most poignant love story of our time," and Julio Cortázar said of its author: "I can't think of another writer who can move me as surreptitiously as Vian does." Boris Vian (1920-1959) was a songwriter, trumpet-player, poet, playwright and pataphysician, but is best remembered for his 1947 novel, Foam of the Daze, a jazz-fueled science-fiction romance that mingles bittersweet and surrealist absurdity with a melancholic meditation on the frailty of life. It tells the tale of Colin, a wealthy young dandy, and Chloe, his newly wedded wife who develops a terrible illness: a water lily in her lung. The supporting cast includes Chick, an obsessive collector of Jean-Sol Partre memorabilia; Colin's libertine manservant Nicolas, a Jeeves for the jazz-age; the philosopher Jean-Sol Partre himself, Vian's rib-poking tribute to his friend Jean-Paul Sartre and the pianocktail: a cocktail-mixing piano whose individual notes are tuned to liqueurs that mix incredible cocktails. Michel Gondry's film adaptation of the novel, to star Audrey Tautou, will begin production in 2012. " )
The reason why I recommend it is that Vian uses his unique style to talk about issues of society. It is a postmodern novel. It critics society and make fun of the rules using things like metamorphosis, different dimension like in an oneiric sphere. The story is timeless. This novel regroups the theme of all the novel that we have read in class ( racism, alienation, prejudice, religion, dehumanization, romance etc...) It uses tales and true events and true Characters, like people in real life for instance you can see the allusion to the Philosopher Jean- Paul Sartre ( Jean-Sol Partre) in the novel. I think a class would have a lot to say about the novel and would enjoy to discover Boris Vian style.

Angela Carter
The werewolf is a reminder of "The little red hood" the mother also asked her daughter to take some oatcakes to her grand mother. What was surprising is that the grandmother turned out to be the Beast!
The daughter was also surprisingly trained. she had a knife that she used against the wild animal. In this story we don't have the grandmother point of view. We don't know if she was helpless against her bestial desires. In reference to the title, her bed room Became the bloody chamber.
In "Puss in boots" what I notice is that the girl is said beautiful and treated like an object. The master before was a "player" but changed into "a man of love". We can see that as a metamorphosis and could be compared to the beast in "The courtship of Mr. Lyon" wishing his master would turn back into a lion. the story keeps a comic tone that I like and it ends well more than any other tale in Carter's rewriting.
"The lady in the house.... reminds me of Bram Stocker's original story of "Dracula" except that the heroine is a girl. For those who read the story, The young soldier would be Johnattan Harker who was sent to Count Dracula's castle. To stay in Carter's novel, the countess reminds of the Marquis in "The bloody Chamber" In this case the heroine is the monster. Carter in this tale reverses the gender roles. The heroine is the one with all the power. I notice that Cater doesn't forget the title of the book. Once more we have a reference to the title. The countess kills the young men in her bedroom. Here unlike the other stories, she is the one longing to become human. Like in "the courtship of Mr. Lyon" "Beauty and the Beast" and "The tiger's Bride", the countess and the soldier inhabit two different world. She lives in a world of magic and murder while the young soldier lives in a rational world with human in it. Cater also subtly made a reference to the horrors of war. She puts in parallel a story of vampire where the violence comes from the "beast" within every person. The Bloody or vicious aspect where the countess kills without mercy represents war.

Ending the Class.
I would also like you to use these final entries to discuss your learning in the class. What books did you like best? Which did you like least and why? Next time I teach this class, which books should I drop from the reading list? Which should I keep? Do you know of other titles I should consider adding?
The book I enjoyed the most was “The Bluest Eye”. It was very easy to get into and follow because it was dramatic and simple to read.
The book I didn’t like was “Carpenter’s Gothic”. I personally felt the book overall was a lot of fluff of information that bored me and strayed me away and I felt it hard to retain any knowledge. I would recommend taking this book out of your reading list but it’s so crucial to what describes postmodernism stories. If you’re going to keep this story, maybe take out one of the other books that take up a lot of the class meetings to discuss.
I tried thinking of other books and couldn’t but my sister recently read a book called “One Second After” by William R. Forstchen. She claims it to be a very scary book but not in your typical horror you think; because its about life through apocalypses and after wars. She gave it a good rating and would definitely recommend it.
Carter vs. Original P.I.B.
- "Puss-in-Boots" seems to be the only truly humorous story of the bunch (though maybe w/ a touch of gallows humor). How has Carter modernized the original story? http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/perrault04.html How is it the same? How is this story like the others? How different?
Carter has modernized the story from the original through different ideas. Carter’s version includes the master and his cat. The cat is almost like the “wing man” (lol) to the master because he successfully gets his master access to the Princess through the use of excuses and lies. At the end of the story, the Princess’ husband fell and died .. a little too fishy. Especially considering that the Princess and the cat’s master marry. The master even inherits a good fortune for marrying his lover, the Princess.
The original puss-in-boots starts off with the master inheriting into what his father left for him and his two brothers. He inherited the cat, which he wasn’t too happy about either. In the original story, the cat also aids in the access to the Princess. The cat, deceived the King into thinking that his master was rich and owned a bountiful meadow and various estates. Upon his meetings of forcing people to lie, the cat came across an ogre living in a castle, who had the power of transformation into any other animal. The cat was able to persuade the ogre into turning into a mouse, for he knew exactly what his next move was — to kill the ogre and claim the castle as his masters. This won the king’s approval and the Princess’ heart.
Both stories show the similarity of the cat’s role. Being their master’s sneaky servant. And both stories end with the master inheriting love and fortune. The ways the cat did the sneaky jobs are different in the stories.
Freeway vs. Carter
- The movie Freeway from 1996 shows us that the "Little Red Riding Hood" story is still relevant even on the cusp of the 21st century. Why does this story have such significance to us? What does it mean? How is the film's version of the story different than/the same as Carter's "The Werewolf" and "The Company of Wolves" from the late 1970s?
The movie Freeway from 1996 was my favorite movie we watched in class. It is still relevant and more modernized, even on the cusp of the 21st century because there is constantly stories about predators such as Bob Wolverton, “big bad wolf”, out in the news. Older men that pray on naive females and abduct them with their scheme-like tricks (boys too).
Freeway is different than Carter’s versions because the wolf isn’t a legitimate animal or transforms from an animal into a human. Also, the setting in Freeway takes place mainly on a highway where Vanessa and Bob met as opposed to the setting Carter has, in the woods.
In Carter’s “The Werewolf” the granddaughter discovers she not only chops off her grandmother’s hand (when she was tricked into thinking it was a wolf in the forest preying on her) but that her grandmother was a witch. The grandmother was stoned to death. This isn’t present in Freeway, including the grandmother. Carter also incorporates the use of witches in her two stories.
The best book that i read in class was Do androids dreams about electric sheep. I found the book very interesting because it talks about finding our identity who is real and fake. it can also relate in today society for example owing a electric sheep gives us lower statues, however having a real sheep give us higher position. After watching the blade runner it made more sense, and clear. the second best book The metamorphosis.
The book that i dislike was the Carpenter gothic. It is complected to understand because the author does not name the character to make it more realest. it was ver y different from the other books that we read.

Freeway
I just wanted to say that Freeway was probably one of the best in-class screenings I've seen since I've started college. It was just such an interesting twist on Little Red Riding Hood and I couldn't get over it. First and foremost, I am such a big fan of Reese Witherspoon's movies! Whether it was Legally Blonde, Hot Pursuit, she always seems to wow the crowd with her performances. I think she plays her roles so well and just fits in immensely with each character she plays. Her character in this movie, Vanessa Lutz was such a badass yet at the same time still possessed some innocent qualities about her. She had that "little girl" demeanor but didn't allow any one to let her looks fool them. Her life seemed pretty unstable, as we found out she was back and forth from her drug addict mother, abusive step father and in and out of foster homes. I really did feel for her because she didn't seem to have any type of guidance or real family she could rely on.
I thought it was so amusing how people perceived her as some dumb blonde when really, she was so clever. She thought of all the tactics, for instance; getting away from Bob Wolverton. (I loved the irony in his name, in assumptions that he was the wolf) When he switched up on her, telling her all the gruesome things he would've done, manipulating her; I was shocked when she pulled out the gun on him. I was just amazed that she thought of that so quickly. Shooting him multiple times as he begged for a savior, Vanessa really was not taking any more of his BS.
I cannot forget her time incarcerated as well! She didn't even think twice about attacking on anyone that tried to step to her making her feel like a "little girl". And making up a plan to escape from the guards, like who even thinks of a scheme like that!! Lol. I loved that about her. She didn't take any form of disrespect lightly and always thought of clever schemes right on the spot. Great movie!!

Readings I Liked
The readings i enjoyed in this class would probably be The Metamorphises and the stories inside it, Androids dream of electric sheep but only after watching the movie version becuase it made more sense, Orange is the new black and The Bloody Chamber.
I enjoyed reading The Metamorphosis because it gives you a sense of really sitting and analyzing the work. The Android story was hard to read but after watching the movie i kind of got a better understanding of what was going on in each scene. The bloody Chamber and its stories was nice because it has to do with romance but a sexual romance.
The books i didnt like and would advise to remove is The bluest eye, it was very hard to understand. To much going on.

Freeway
In this movie its starts off by showing a lot of sexual behavior going on. In the beginning credits, before they show the actors names the camera is pointed at all inappropriate areas on a woman like breasts and ass. The movie gives a sense that it is based on sexual intercourse and abuse and molesting.
The first time we see sexual activity is right in the beginning when Vanessa tries to read something on the board, and when she does goes into a very deep sexual kissing frenzy with her fiancée chopper. Then as the movie continues its shown how her step father wants to have sex with her and she says no in the beginning but then kind of allows it and goes with it. She knows her moms a whore and fears that she might be the same but is always angry when pressured by it.
When encountered by Bob he seems all sweet and innocent to her by i right away knew that he was that guy who wanted to sexually abuse her when he pulled up to the high way and the camera was through his vision and he was looking at her ass. From then on i knew that he was going to be bad. He played it off smart. He gained her trust, made her believe that what he was doing was to help her get away from this fear and pain she was always in all her life. She did have a tough life. But then he screwed himself up when he tried to have sex with her in the car and forced her to pull her pants down and then she pulled out a gun and was the one in control. What was funny was how after she was telling him she was going to kill him, he was trying to manipulate her that he was sorry and what not but she didn't believe him.
I was bugging out and wanted her to shoot him. If you guys recall in class lol. And when she did i dont understand how he was able to walk ? like she shot him in the neck, head, back and this dude is still alive ?!? like how is that even possible. But then again its a movie so anything is possible.
The funny parts in the movie is when she being interrogated by the police and rocks the cop in the head with the chair. I thought that was pretty awesome. The other humors thing in this movie is when Bob comes in to the court room all messed up in a wheel chair with a eye missing and Vanessa starts yelling in the court room and laughing at him saying hes not so tough now etc etc.
But aside from all the humor and everything i feel that she was doing all of this because she is angry at her family angry at the world for how she turned out. Her moms a whore, her step father is a child molester, her parents are in jail now she has to go to foster care again, all of this is tough on a child and she just needed someone to trust and talk to and she did to Bob and he screwed her over and thats why she did all of this to him. She took all her anger out on him i feel.

The bloody chamber
Wealth and beauty
Marquis had three beautiful youngs wifes,his relationship did not workout, how can anyone just marry someone that got separated without asking any question?" The heroine replied, i'm sure i want to marry him. Even though she seemed unconvinced that her daughter was making the right choice, her mother kept silent out of her wish for financial security." I think that the author is telling us that beauty can, but should not be purchase by wealth,and power, Angela shows us that wealth and power can runin beauty

The bloody chamber
Angela Carter believed that fight for sexual Equality and equal power.The bloody chamber its Marquis's chamber where he take young women torture them and take young women virgin. The author is trying to inform us that women to reclaim their power, just because Marquis got married, he does not have power to do whatever he wants.

"Freeway"
The movie put on screen the story of a young girl who had all against her even if she tried to be a good person. It seems she couldn't escape her faith. When she was on the high way, and found the guy willing to help I thought It was a good Samaritan but surprisingly he turned to be a Killer. In the movie they even transformed him into the werewolf in the "Little Red Riding Hood". It was tragic for the grandmother but this part brought a certain humor to the story. It end bad because despite everything than happened she still a murderer and will go to jail. Worse when she stated to laugh I think she lost her mind. The moral in Both the "Little Red Riding Hood" and the movie are the same. I think it push people to be wary of appearance....
class
What books did you like best? Which did you like least and why? Next time I teach this class, which books should I drop from the reading list? Which should I keep? Do you know of other titles I should consider adding?
The books i liked the best are "Oranges aren't the only fruits" and "Bloody Chambers." The ones i liked the least were "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" and "The Bluest Eye". I would drop "The Bluest Eye" just because I didn't understand the concept and why it was relevant enough to learn and speak about. You should keep "Oranges" and "The Metamorphosis" because they had significance and the themes were interesting to discuss.
