Peter L. Bayers, a writer for the Rocky Mountain Review of Language and Literature, writes about how Montana 1948 relates to the European view of Americans in the west and the relationship between the western American and the Native American. He then continues to talk about how the western man treated the Native American and how they eventually killed the Indians and took over their land. He also talks about how the native American was treated by the western man and how that relates to how the housekeeper is treated in the book Montana 1948. He then continues to talk about how history is related to the book and how the author, Larry Watson is pre-occupied with the legacy of the American conquest of Native America. He finishes his article by talking about the personal needs of the western american to conquer the west.

Feminism
Well, this week my teacher wanted us to post about feminism and then relate it to Macbeth. Well first of all we must identify what feminism is for us to truly talk about it. Feminism, as defined by dictionary.com, is the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men. Personally I think that women are equal to men in certain aspects. Take the NBA for instance. If you took the Boston Celtics, the best team in the NBA right now, and had them play the Detroit Shock, the number one W NBA team. I'm pretty sure that the Boston Celtics would win. Another example is how many women do u find in the NFL. None, although that doesnt mean that women don't play football, they just don't play as well as th
e guys do. The only women I could think of that is good at football is Holley Mangold. She is someone who has worked hard for respect and she is a good role model for feminism. Now there are the good role models and there are the bad ones. For Example Paris Hilton, I'm sure we all know who she is, if you don't then your probably a hermit but just in case, she is a hotel heiress who will never have to work a day in her life but claims that she fought for womens right. WRONG!! Paris Hilton did nothing for womens right but in fact made me think that women shouldn't have rights because she is just such an idiot. She does all this stupid stuff, and yet young women today still idolize her for being a great role model. Tell me, did your role model ever make a sex tape then put it out on the internet? I would not ever want my kids to even think about having her as a role model. They would just become dumber.

I would not ever want my kids to even think about having her as a role model. They would just become dumber. When I think about women who actually deserve or deserved rights I think of people like Rosa Parks who faught for what she believed in. Paris Hilton didn't fight for anything. If women want to be equal they should also have the same responsibilities as men. My English teacher brought up a very good point in class. He said that if women are equal to men, then why do men always pay for the bill when they go to dinner. Thats completely unfair for us men, but women still are equal to men. Now, Lady Macbeth is also a women of power who fought(dirty I might add) for what she wanted. She wanted her husband to be king so she helped have the king murdered. She is a Women who I would consider a feminist.

Introductions
The first few minutes of any movie are crucial to the understanding of the plot and the background of the film or book. In the movie step up 2, the beginning is her talking about her life previous to the current point. She tells us how when she was young she wanted to be a dancer like the ones she saw on the streets. She then continues to tell us how her mother died when she was young and that she would always tell her to follow her dreams. Then the actual movie begins and it is a bunch of people in masks dancing around in a subway. You would not be able to understand what is going on in the movie if you never saw the beginning. You wouldn’t understand why she dances so much, why she is in a crew, or why she loves to dance and does the things she does in the movie. In Macbeth, the beginning tells us about how everyone in the play acts and you can kind of tell what events are going to happen and what people are going to try and do. Macbeth becomes the Thane of Cawdor and witches foresee him becoming king. This kind of tells us that he is going to try and kill the king. We then find out that his wife is going to help him. All this information seems to play out well and I can’ wait to continue reading this Shakespearean play. It looks like the events coming up will be interesting. You are able to do this with any movie or book with a good beginning. This is why beginnings are crucial to a movie or book being well written.
