F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Bernice Bobs Her Hair"

In class a few days a go, we watched a short film called "Bernice Bobs Her Hair." The idea for this film was taken from F.Scott Fitzgerald's story. "Bernice" is a film that shows an out-of-place adolescent staying with her much more socially gifted cousin. Her cousin teachers her how to be liked and accepted by people of their own age, and ends up creating a monster. This was a very enjoyable film that showed the worries of teenagers in that timeperiod and the struggles they go through to try and be accepted. I enjoyed this movie, because although the movie was very old, the issues that teens in that age faced are very similar to what teens face today.

Robert Frost

Robert Frost is an American poet that was born in San Francisco, California in 1874. His poetry is a very classic style that is very easy to understand. While Robert Frost's poetry is deep and still makes one think, his poems are fairly simple in the manner that he usually comes right out and says what he means. While William Carlos Williams writes very short, abstarct, and wierd poems, Frost writes in a manner that is very easy to interperet and even easier to comprehend. I enjoyed Frost's Fire and Ice poem, because I think it is one of the few works that actually gives insight into what he believes.

The Red Wheelbarrow

This is a poem Written by Williams Carlos Williams. At first look, this poem seems like a meaningless poem that makes no sense. However, even after the first time one reads it, one can sense a slight feeling of pain. Knowing the background for this poem greatly helps the understanding of Williams and the poem. Williams was visiting a terminally ill girl in the hospital, trying to cheer her up and make her last moments enjoyable. While he was there she died. He looked out the window and saw a red wheelbarrow sitting in the, next to some white chickens. This poem was a way of keeping her memory alive and showing the frailness of life.

William Carlos Williams

William Carlos Williams was an American poet that wrote in a different, yet simple way. His poems were very abstract and usually focused on one thing. Most of his poems are short, but have a very unclear point to them. He writes in a manner that anyone could, but he did it first and that is why he was famous. Just his name give you an idea that he is a little strange or from a strange family.
