blog 16 Final reflection
What a wonderful term I've had in eng 102. Ive learned so much about the topic supernatural.I learned about Archetypes, hero's quest,symbols,poetic forms and much more.i learned that in some way even movies,poems have an underline meaning.That poetry doesn't have to be long or rhyme. ENG 102 course was more then just a writing course and thankfully everything was online or my hands would've hurt with all those 700 and plus word essays.With this course I've taken with me that English isn't only about books,reading and write that its more broad. I would recommend this course to EVERYONE! BEST ENGLISH CLASS IVE HAD IN LAGCC.

Stephen king literary work "The Shinning" expresses the use of psychoanalysis.Psychoanalysis is the set of techniques for exploring underlying motives and a method of treating various mental disorders;based on the theories of Sigmund Freud."The Shinning" has used the fathers alcohol abuse and inner anger to release and take range in the attempt to kill his family."God, I'd give anything for a drink. I'd give my god-damned soul for just a glass of beer" shows his addiction. The frustration he feels with his lack of writing allows his family to be targeted with no possible reasoning other then his depression.His anger weakens him and allows him to be possed by ghost and gives him motives to kill. Jack no longer has any self control but his determination has increased as his stay in the Overlook extends.Stephen king similar experiences has been put into his novel ''The Shinning" as his character Jack follows the same foot steps as king.Not only does his underlying motives is written within the characters but as king writes his novel. (Paragraph)
The viewing of a fellow friend passing had opened his skills in writing to target horror literary and with his character Jack whom is a writer action is to kill.Jack Torrance:" Wendy? Darling? Light, of my life. I'm not gonna hurt ya. You didn't let me finish my sentence. I said, I'm not gonna hurt ya. I'm just going to bash your brains in". Within the mother, her underlying motive to keep her family together and happy she seems to miss out the signs that her family is in danger so she becomes blind and ignores the signs.Jacks inner frustration and feelings of unaccomplished has caused him to set out and harm his loves one.King uses the family inner emotions to express their positions in the book.The seek for a happy family blindsides the mom "Your daddy..sometimes he does things he's sorry for later.Sometimes he doesn't think the way he should.That doesn't happen very often,but sometimes it does" ,the unaccomplished writer brings frustration to jack"Now, we're going to make a new rule.when you come in here and you hear me typing,or whether you don't hear me typing,or whatever the fuck you hear me doing,when I'm in here, it means that i am working.That means don't come in.Now,do you think you can handle that" and Danny innocents and gifts allows him to be an easy target but his changes throughout the hotel brings forth his talent. He repeats "Redrum" which spelled backwards "MURDER".
"The Shinning" is a must read novel and movie.The author Stephen king makes his novels a must read,cant seem to put them down.With "The Shinning" you will find the horror to be intense but begin to notice how alike the author is with his character and their psychoanalysis.Each character has its motive but before reading the novel read Stephen king biography in order to understand more of where king got his talent to write.''The Shinning" gives his character a motive but with out reading till the end you will not seem to see it clearly.

Blog Entry 12 Initial writing
While reading through " The Shinning" by Stephen King i will be thinking about the psychoanalytic Criticism.Psychoanalytic criticism came from Sigmund Freud, It expresses the authors inner desires and anxiety through his literature.Stephen Main character Jack has some similar characteristic as Stephen king,they both are writers and both certified teachers well as having a drinking problem. Through Stephen works you find out that in some way he relates to his character.The Main Character will have to fight inner conflicts with good and evil.The evil inside him wants to kill his son and wife but the good/love for his family makes it through so he does not.Just as Stephan King looked for a new job as his curtain career failed Jack career fails and has him in search for a new job as a care taker in the hotel.Stephen king uses his personal fears into his literature work. Stephen king fear of death is used in his novel as death is what Jack is trying to commit and his son Danny sees through out the hotel.The inner anxiety the author might have felt that leaked into his literature was the viewing of the death of his friend that may have caused the psychologically inspiration of his dark literature. The Psychoanalytic Criticism is shown throughout "The Shinning" and even through the movie his overcoming with demons so he says has been shown in his literature "The shinning" as jacks son Danny sees two twin sisters standing in the hotel hallway that have been dead but are in seek of playing with Danny. While going through "The Shinning" you may ask yourself why is it so scary to continue reading but so addictive to not let down is Stephen king grabs our attention with our fears. He brings out the fear of death and what our society seems to have seen "Ghost". Stephen kings gives the idea of being able to see beyond the living and being a child with telepathically powers seems scary. "The Shinning" gives the reader the fear of entering a empty hotel and through out the reading finds "Murder" written backwards "Redrum", two twins in which have been killed by their fathers then to find a naked what seems to look youthful till is seen through the mirror and happens to be a old saggy looking women.Thats should scare ANYONE!. Stephen king literature work has its way of grabbing the attention of the reader through writting a novel that describes a mental stage of the character and its illness.

Blog entry 11 :My chosen Story
The Plot to this book is a hotel is place on a mountain in which a family goes to stay at.The father is a writer and the mother is a women with the good intentions of keeping her family together.Together there is a son whom seems to be able to speak to ghost and notices two twin sisters standing in the hotel hallway during a day the family was stuck in a snow storm. The father attempts to murder his family but will they ever make it out the hotel? (You must read the book in order to find out what happens next)
For my final project i will be using Psychoanalytic Criticism i feel no one else in the class will take that approach since we haven't discussed much of it during class.I remember learning it in my phys.101 class and noticed Stephan king uses no explicit sexual scene in the novel, many Freudian metaphorical representations of sexuality were noted. 'Misery' also dwelt on a battle of the sexes as fought between the main protagonist, Paul Sheldon, and Annie Wilkes, the middle-aged, manic depressive woman who 'took care' of him after surviving a car wreck.I feel if i try the psychoanalytic criticism approach i can open my broad of the Freud theory as well.

Blog 10 Reflection
The past few weeks we've been taught about Monomyth by Joseph Campbells. Monomyth is the hero's journey and the steps through it.Ive learned that a hero isn't born a hero but is given the opportunity to become one through his journey and if he/she returns home.That within films and t.v. shows a hero goes through test and if and only if he/she passes them they become the hero.By watching the film Spirited away i really noticed the steps,the people that get in the way of a hero's quest.Watching the interview of Joseph Campbell was very interesting.Never did i ever think things the way he does.Gives more light to what we see through everyday actions.It was enlightening the way he define a hero that it doesn't have to be a super hero but just a every day person.
