Introduction

Well for starters, I'm having issues trying to change my blog name "Blog #3". Yeah, I know it's awkward. Yeah I know my introduction is late and I'M SORRY. Well anyway, my name's Flavia, I'm 19 years old and I've lived in the Sunshine State since I was 2. I'm into the outdoor life. Beach, lake, pond, park, trails, you name it. I've always been into reading, but never writing. So I'm sorry if some of my sentences make no sense or are out of order.. Ha. I've always had a thing for horror movies. When I was around 2, my mom tells me she would try to cover my eyes on the "scary" parts in movies and i would try to get around her. I'm to the point where there is no horror movie out there scary enough. My mom is my influence in this case. She's the one who's deactivated and/or broke my scare-o-meter. She has this huge 60 DVD case thing that's PACKED with horror movies that are actually worth watching. I'm very picky on what kind of SciFi or Fantasy movies I like. Or any movies in that case.
I hope to learn more about all of you guys!



UPDATE: I found out how to change my blog name yay :)

Blog #3

After reading "That Only A Mother", it really made me think about how I would react in a situation where my spouse had gone.. well you can't really call her crazy.. But surely there was something psychologically wrong with her. After being exposed to radiation, there were many children born with deformities. The reading tells you there was something obviously wrong when Margaret only mentions the baby's facial features and nothing more. Then it adds on when she says that her 10 month old baby was having full blown conversations with her and she didn't see any more to it. Maggie's husband, Hank, never got to see the baby until he came home 10 months later. When Maggie told the baby to crawl for her dad, she told her mom to put her on her stomach. That's when Hank became suspicious. The baby then started to squirm and Hank laughed because he thought she had her arms stuck and couldn't get them out of her sleeves. That's when he realizes the baby was missing, not only her arms, but her legs as well. Whether Maggie knew all along or she didn't realize it, it was pretty odd no one decided to contact this to her husband.

As for "We See Things Differently", I didn't really understand why Charlie, or Sayyid or whatever his name was (apparently none of those names were his real name), did what he did. We all know how other countries see America. Let's face it.. we're pretty hated around the world. "This was the jahiliyah- the land of ignorance. This was America. The Great Satan, The Arsenal of Imperialism, the Bankroller of Zionism, the Bation of Neo-Colonialism.." Everyone has something amusing to say about us Americans.
