1. For each character write a brief paragraph explaining what impact this fictional character has had on our culture. Why is this character so fascinating? Important? Misunderstood? Understood?
Well Catwoman side view on this whole thing is that women should be respected and understood and that’s where this show is going really. And the impact that she has on our culture is that women should technically be treated as much as the men are. This character is so fascinating because she’s showing us the true side of womanhood. To women she’s understood, to men she’s not.
Bugs bunny he made my life when his cartoon came out I was this happy 2 year old watching bugs bunny and just laughed at everything he did or still does I love him to death. This character is so fascinating because he made me laugh and he still does and I would do anything to watch him again. Bugs bunny is most importantly understood because he made all of us kids laugh our eyes out.
2. Once you have done that, think about characters you have met in books, seen in movies or plays, or watched on TV. Pick one that is of particular interest to you. Write an entry in which you explain why this character is important to our culture in your opinion. What qualities does this character possess that makes him/her/it so intriguing? Why is this character important to our society (not just a small group of fans)?
The most character that caught my eye the most is Cinderella because I’ve seen her in movies and cartoons and she’s treated in a way that’s unimaginable because her step mom is an idiot and her seems like nothings going on when it’s really happening right under his nose. This character is important to me because when I was little I always thought there is a thing as a happy ending. This character is important to our culture because she’s just Cinderella and she’s being her self. The thing that made Cinderella intriguing was her looks and her beauty. This character is important to our society because little kids read her and books and also grownups.

blog #1
The writer's adage is as follows:Reading is breathing in; writing is breathing out.Why is reading so crucial for a writer? Whenever I've heard writers speak--be it playwrights, novelists, or poets--they talk about the importance of reading. In Pat Conroy's memoir My Losing Season, in fact, he goes into great depth about the books he was devouring at that point in his life and what they meant to him.
Because it's takes time for the author to write a story and it takes great thinking.

blog 3 for creative writing..
1. Congratulations! You wrote your first play. Reflect on your experiences here in paragraph form. Be sure to including explanation for your ideas. Write at least 75 words.
Some things to consider are:
Well the things that i consider is how i did the play and how I set the characters i wanted to change that because after i read it i didn't like how i set the characters i wanted to change that.
What limitations about the form did you find frustrating?
What i found frustrating is how i couldn't write it out in the way i wanted to write but, it doesn't matter i like how my play looks like so yeah.....
What strengths did you see in the form?
The strengths that i see in the form is length of the play and the story line.
What pleasant surprises did you find in writing a play?
The pleasant surprise that i found writing the play was that how i performed the lengths and how i placed the characters.
What unpleasant surprises did you find in writing a play?
The unpleasant surprises that i found in the play was i was i added some interesting characters and had a little more information on the characters like where they lived and how old they were and what they did for a living.
Would you ever be interested in attempting drama writing or any of its sister forms, screenplays or television scripts? Explain.
No, because I'm more like a medical doctrine person.
If you could give advice to a kid who was 5 years old or 10 years old (pick one), what advice would you give him or her on growing up in today's world? Would you give advice based upon your own experiences? Would you give advice based upon what you see in others? Would your advice be based on their thoughts, their choices, peer issues, school? Explain your advice and why you give it. Write at least 100 words.
Well, i would go for the 10 year because they have more of a brain then a 5 year but if i was going to give an adivce i would say learn from your own mistakes and live life to the fullest..And it would be on my everyday life...
Great works of literature can last a long time. Jane Austen's novels (including Pride and Prejudice, Emma, and Sense and Sensibility) are still popular almost 200 years after they were first published. Anne Bradstreet's poems have survived about 400 years. The works of Greek playwright Euripides (who wrote Medea) have survived for over 2000 years. What do you think causes great literary works to live forever? Could you ever foresee yourself writing something that lasts that long? (Write at least 75 words.)
No; i don't i see myself writing a Literary works that lasts about 200 to 400 years because like i said it's in impossible for me because i see myself as a medical person...
