For the Cool Hand Luke essay test tomorrow I think it will be pretty easy to compare the book One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest to it. This is because, to me, Luke and McMurphy are so similar. Neither of them when they got to where they were going wanted to stay within the boundaries given to them. Also they became a huge leader to the other people around them. Examples are when McMurphy kind of says he is giving up on the fight against the nurse and so Cheswick "Drowns" most likely by his own hands. Also this is shown just in the scene we saw today when Luke keeps running away so he finally gets put in the box and has to finish his plate before he can return to it. The guy puts a ton of food on his plate purposely so everyone helps him out with finishing the food. They truly care about him just like the patients truly care about McMurphy. So for the test tomorrow I think coming up with the scenes to compare will be pretty easy.

Throughout my college application process, I have been continually asked about what attributes draw me to a school. Everyone has different priorities when it comes to a college’s qualities, ranging from specific undergraduate programs to campus facilities, location, sports teams, and the school’s reputation. My problem is that I don't want to have to have to choose just one. Trying to find a school that dominates in more than one of these qualities is much more difficult than it seems. Obviously the quality of education is a priority for me but it's hard to overlook these other factors. What are your priorities when it comes to choosing colleges?

So far Cool Hand Luke is setting up to be fairly weird and more than slightly creepy. The whole thing with "Lucille" was creepy as hell, to put it succinctly. I have no idea what they were trying to prove with that whole situation, but they could have made it a whole lot less creepy. Or they could have not put it in the movie at all, there's an idea (that's one similarity with Cuckoo's Nest--women are only described as viewed from the male gaze, and never developed as characters). The rest of the movie is just kind of odd and slightly off-putting...I don't know, it's just really not my kind of movie.

Watching supersize me in class was the second time for me watching it. The first time was in a health and science class in 8th grade so obviously we were more concentrated on the message of how fast food is bad for you. But until we watched it in class here and were more concentrating on the affects of the advertising i never realized that they weren't just giving us information they were definitely strategically giving us information. They told us that even someone is perfect health that eats McDonalds like this can gain weight and can get in bad health because of it. I think that the way that the documentary was presented on fast food was very interesting, not just the message, but how it was given.
