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.

Cinderella- Blog 6

CINDERELLA In the Disney’s Cinderella, the main character is a girl who is under the care of her evil stepmother. She resides with her step mother and two ugly and jealous step sisters. Cinderella was supposed to be enslaved and wear here ready clothes. She did a lot of work around the house and always had to do the dirty work for her sisters. It isn’t until Cinderella’s fairy godmother comes up that she starts to transform and eve have a chance at attending the royal ball. The fairy godmother is Cinderella’s token to becoming royalty. Without her Cinderella may not have been a beautiful princess to the prince by the end of the story. From this version it is possible that one can reach success or riches with magic. The fairy godmother had lost of magic tricks up her sleeve that helped Cinderella get to where she ended. I do not think there is any other way Cinderella would have been able to get to the prince if she did not have the few hours of royalty. When the magic was su...

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...
