A CONTINUED RECOMMENDED POST

Well, as a unique prompt, I will be giving some recommendations for the small screen. I am very much into comedy, but I can take some drama if I want to.

RULES: Shows must be scripted. That is all.

TIE: The Office, 30 Rock and Grey's Anatomy

Workplace sitcoms are always fun. I wouldn't call Grey's a sitcom, but it does have its funny moments. It's about a hospital in Seattle and its whereabouts. Mainly, the show revolves around its interns, who have an intertwined love life with each other and the staff. The patients also vary, which gives it a nice touch of anticipation. As for the true sitcoms, I prefer older seasons of the office simply because of Steve Carell. It's about the average day in an ordinary office--and all the shenanigans that go on within. It's sad the show's over now. I'm also depressed about the discontinuation of 30 Rock. It's about an ordinary day in and out of work at NBCUniversal. Specifically, the staff of a sketch comedy show, similar to Saturday Night Live.

Arrested Development

This show is hilarious. At least the first three seasons were. The Netflix version sucked. The series is about the wealthy Bluth dynasty, whose patriarch gets arrested for fraud. The family copes with the misfortune with a series of misadventures. For example; Michael's failing love life, Gob's failing magic life, Lindsay's failing sex life, Tobias' failing acting/coming out life, George Sr.'s failing prison life, Lucille's failing rich life and Buster's failing school/losing his left hand life. The show is filled with tropes and references that will come back to you as life goes on. It is sure to make your sides split into two.

Okay, so that's it. Stay classy.

THIS POST IS RECOMMENDED

This blog is all about literature. Whether it'd be books, movies or TV shows. You may have come to this site to expect some type of recommendation source. Well, I'm going to give the people just that in this post. Here is my list of literary recommendations.

Carrie, by Stephen King (and both the movies)

If you are unpopular at school, and want to take a stand to your social status on the school's Caste System, Carrie would be a good guide. As Stephen King's debutant novel, the horror book tells a tale of the High School Glory Days, and a dorky girl's discovery of an amazing power she acquires. She uses it to avenge her enemies at school and her extremely religious, almost insane mother, in a very sinister way. It is a very suspenseful, yet above all relatable read.

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

This one makes you think a little bit. It tells the story of Guy Montag, who lives in a dystopian society as a book burner. In his society, books are illegal, and must be burned down along with the buildings they reside in. However, Montag smuggles a couple of books here and there from the sites. His wife discovers, and soon the whole city knows. He then declares war against the Status Quo who believe that books are the source of some evils, and the outgoing who like to read, like you guys!

The Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling

Yes, we've all seen this one. The famous fantasy series has recently come completely to a close, with the last movie adaptation being released a couple years ago. So here's the plot. A boy who witnesses the death of his parents by the dark wizard Lord Voldemort who was out to defeat the DA (Dumbledore's Army). In revenge, Harry sets out to try to defeat Voldemort as vengeance and at the same time, deals with school drama at Hogwart's. Good book for a kid.

So those are my recommendations as far as literature goes. G'night!

Well, what can I say?

The question mark is a common form of punctuation. It also often describes one's mind. Everybody is stupid. Even when somebody knows a lot, they don't know a lot. You could answer a billion questions, yet you have more than a quintillion in the remains. Everyone expects the brain's capacity to acquire the same enormity as does the triceps of a bodybuilder, and it does. However, it is flabbergastingly close to impossible to fulfill that space. So I would like to give you a task. Ask yourself a question. Then answer it. Afterwards, ask another question, then answer that. Keep the pattern going on and on. Keep it going until you die. Ask and answer questions to yourself until you reach your demise. In fact, ask yourself some more questions in Heaven, and then answer them there. The queries you can present yourself are infinite. It's implausible to halt the everlasting chain of questions. So this should be your lifelong project. Ask yourself a question. I bet you're doing it right now. Answer these questions, store your responses in your mental intake, and see where life goes from there.

Final Blogging Assessment in English 1B

As this is my final post for a while, I suggest that the theme for this post should comply with the occasion.

 The final line in any book is, when you strip it down to the basics, the most important.

 Many leave a reader thinking what would happen next, like adding ellipses to a mysterious sentence which takes you a couple of minutes to comprehend, then you infer what happens next, even though it's not written in fine print in the book.

 There are also very simple closing verses that leave the reader with a sense of satisfaction rather than suspense. For example, the famous line from any Grimm tale, "...and they lived Happily Ever After." You know exactly what happens next once you read that line. Princess/Damsel marries Unlikely Groom who initially saves the day, they have kids, get old together, you get the gist.

Besides that ending to most Fairy Tales, there are many other famous closing lines out there. Like from Romeo & Juliet, "Never was there a tale of more woe, than this of Juliet and her Romeo."

The closing line to The Great Gatsby, the book which I had just completed reading, is also very famous, indeed. It makes you ponder a little on your sense of vocabulary and sentence structure, but it is none but satisfying in the end of it all. "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

You don't really know what exactly is going on in this quote. According to the first few words, "So we beat on, boats against the current," maybe, using setting, Nick and Jordan set sail after the Gatsby's death. Obviously, the last few words there, "...borne back ceaselessly into the past," suggests that he is trying to forget it all. All the material, the cars, the drinking, the sex, he is trying to evict from his head.

Those are just some ideas. You can think up some of your own, but using context clues, characters, setting, plot, diction and syntax, basically all the elements of writing and text analysis, those are the ones that I came up with and most likely you would come up with if you weren't thinking. But rememeber, writing is about creativity and expressing yourself, so don't rerstrict your talent and jot down your thoughts without any thought. Dive deeper in your expertise, and make something fun out of it.

And, turn the back cover.
