Report Police shoot baby deer.

1. In Patricia Killelea's poem about the police shooting an innocent deer in the streets of Oakland i think that it is very interesting to look at the usage of words that begin with the letters "s" or "w". She uses them in two different ways. One she puts them close together in a sentence for example "soft steps my mother spoke" and then two lines later it says, " the warm, wobbly drink of this living so wild-fought her." The other way that she uses words that begin with the letter "s" or "w" is by repeating words that begin with these letter in back to back sentence's such as, "Running the fawn shakes off bullets, running the fawn shakes off concrete." This helps her get across her message of the positive usage of this by repeating the shakes in these back to back sentences. The negative usage has the fawn wobble off into dawn and wobble off into worlds.

The section of popol vuh involving the two monkey twins Hubatz and Hunchuoen is very interesting to me. The fact that they are sent to their own grandmother to see if she will laugh four separate times and not some other person shows that in their culture their is a deep amount of love between family members and if their own grandmother will laugh at their monkey bodies than they would be killed. Another very interesting point to this story is that the two hero twins get turned into monkeys instead of another different animal that could be considered comical such as meerkat or a cat. Once the two hero twins go to their grandmother 3 different times and she laughed at each they don't go back for the fourth.

In the Deborah A. Miranda reading one particular part that stood out to me was the section about the argument that she had in class with another student that wasn’t one of the only four colored people in the class about a scholarship where only native American’s were eligible. At first I found myself siding with the white student and as she went on I found that my opinion was completely reversed.  For her to be able to stand up and voice her opinion when having the minority opinion takes courage

I chose the name doogiewolf for the name of my blog for two reasons. The doogie comes from a lot of my friends calling me doogie because I share Neil Patrick Harris’s (doogie howser) first name and because of the role he plays in Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. The wolf is because that is the animal I chose. I picked a wolf because wolfs to me symbolize freedom, being out in the wild traveling in packs and run around the arctic with no fear.
