Jocelyn's Blog Review

I read Jocelyn Hill’s blogs and found out some interesting information about her. In her most recent blog she shared an anecdote about a personal experience that related to the presentation given by K’Olewe’s. Not only did she do that, but she also slowly progressed into the “answer” to the question. She spoke about what stuck out to her the most and what she enjoyed. She was also very descriptive in her language about the lady who came to visit. She said how she wore a "detailed beaded anklet". I felt as if I was present. Most times when I did my blog I just spoke about the topic at hand, so it was interesting to read her blog and see the difference in style.
Moving on to her other two blogs I really like the pictures and the short video she incorporated. She added the picture that correlated to what she was discussing in the blog. In blog 6 she again found a way to tie the fairytale to a scenario in reality. Jocelyn played and argued both sides of the “opinion section” and it gave me a better sense of what she took away from the readings. She mentions “true love is real”, but “support and encouragement from loved once can definitely help turn rags to riches”. I really like her ending to that blog because she I was able to connect with her and share some similar values. She also talked about how she really enjoyed the Cinderella tales. Specifically, the Disney version.

In blog 5 Jocelyn started with what she was going to talk about in her blog. I like how she set that up so I would not be confused and lost when reading through. She then made sure she mention what exact Snow White tale she was referencing. Her use of adjectives reveals her stance and and take on how the tables have reflected upon her.
Overall, I really like the background style of the blog itself. It adds a different touch to the theme. To me it makes me want to read what she is saying because it stands out and is no a boring white background. All of the bogs are uniform and have a sense of identification. The language is very sophisticated and it not simplistic. It adds depth and shows the reader of her blog that Jocelyn took the time to read and understand before she explained. lol I also found out that her favorite color is pink and so is mine so her blogs made ,e very happy by just looking at them.

Big Bad Wolf/Red Riding Hood Blog 3

Big Bad Wolf/Red Riding Hood Budd Root created this cartoon titled “Big Bad Wolf/Red Riding Hood. This is a social cartoon that could be for pure entertainment. But, I think it is meant for more of an adult audience. Still, this cartoon could also be a representation of how Root sees the tale Little red Riding Hood. The cartoon has a very sexual appeal with a beast like figure. The wolf looks as if he wants to devour red riding hood and from the persona of riding hood one may not blame him for having this desire. In this cartoon, there are the two main characters; the wolf and Red Riding Hood. Usually red riding hood is “little” but in this cartoon, however, she is resembling a woman who is comfortable revealing herself and showing lots of skin. She is not depicted as innocent and naive but more seductive and mature. Her cape does not cover the majority of her body and her clothing underneath is very slim. In the original tale of Little Red Riding Hood the little girl was dresse...

LECTURE ANALYSIS  In India, there is this idea of possession. Women are far more affected by this idea than anyone else. However, in Folklore, there are some key points that are shared between the Indian culture and the Americans. The genres and expressions are the main concepts being explored by both. But we still have, the beliefs and the beliefs statements, supernatural experiences, and religion. Religion is tied closely to american folk and fairy tales. A lot of the stories have different ways of incorporating the bible, quran, and other works into the make of the tale. Most times, these inclusions are the main motifs and falcons. But, their religion is a little different. First, they say that “Jesus is the new chicken.” They have strong religious beliefs that one shouldn't marry or have babies until marriage. This is very similar to christianity. However, if the Indian community gets word of this they have to be excommunicated.   Being possessed is a large pheno...
