Junnkyard Quotes x 2!!

I realize that I have forgotten to post for a short while, life has been having fun bating me around like it's little play toy! I have of course collected tons of quotes and I shall make it up to you!!

V for Vendetta

1. Evey Hammond: Are you a Muslim?
Gordon Deitrich: No. I'm in television

2. V: [Evey pulls out her mace] I can assure you I mean you no harm.
Evey Hammond: Who are you?
V: Who? Who is but the form following the function of what and what I am is a man in a mask.
Evey Hammond: Well I can see that.
V: Of course you can. I'm not questioning your powers of observation I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is.
Evey Hammond: Oh. Right.

3. V: I told you, only truth. For 20 years, I sought only this day. Nothing else existed... until I saw you. Then everything changed. I fell in love with you Evey. And to think I no longer believed I could.
Evey Hammond: But I don't want you to die.
V: That's the most beautiful thing you could have ever given me.

4. Evey Hammond: What is that you're making?
Gordon Deitrich: We call it "eggie in the basket". My mum used to make them.
Evey Hammond: This is weird.
Gordon Deitrich: What?
Evey Hammond: The first morning I was with him, he made me eggs just like this.
Gordon Deitrich: Really?
Evey Hammond: I swear.
Gordon Deitrich: That is a strange coincidence. Although, there's an obvious explanation.
Evey Hammond: There is?
Gordon Deitrich: Yes, Evey. I am V. At last you know the truth. You're stunned, I know. It's hard to believe isn't it, that beneath this wrinkled, well-fed exterior there lies a dangerous killing machine with a fetish for Fawkesian masks. Viva la revolution!
Evey Hammond: That is *not* funny, Gordon.
Gordon Deitrich: [sighs] Yeah, I know. I'm useless without a studio audience.

5. Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot... But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I've witnessed first hand the power of ideas, I've seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them... but you cannot kiss an idea, cannot touch it, or hold it... ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love... And it is not an idea that I miss, it is a man... A man that made me remember the Fifth of November. A man that I will never forget.
Braveheart

6. William Wallace: There's a difference between us. You think the people of this country exist to provide you with position. I think your position exists to provide those people with freedom. And I go to make sure that they have it.

7.Princess Isabelle: I understand you have suffered. I know... about your woman.
William Wallace: [pauses] She was my wife. We married in secret because I would not share her with an English lord. They killed her to get to me. I've never spoken of it, I don't know why I tell you now, except... I see her strength in you. One day, you'll be a queen. And you must open your eyes. You tell your king that William Wallace will *not* be ruled... and nor will any Scot while I live.

8. William Wallace: [voiceover] In the Year of our Lord 1314, patriots of Scotland - starving and outnumbered - charged the fields of Bannockburn. They fought like warrior poets; they fought like Scotsmen, and won their freedom.

9. William Wallace: Now tell me, what does that mean to be noble? Your title gives you claim to the throne of our country, but men don't follow titles, they follow courage. Now our people know you. Noble, and common, they respect you. And if you would just lead them to freedom, they'd follow you. And so would I.

10. Princess Isabelle: You see? Death comes to us all. But before it comes to you, know this: your blood dies with you. A child who is not of your line grows in my belly. Your son will not sit long on the throne. I swear it.

Tangled

1. Rapunzel: Something brought you here, Flynn Rider. Call it what you will... fate... destiny...
Flynn Rider: A horse.

2. Flynn Rider: You should know that this is the strangest thing I have ever done!

3. Flynn Rider: You smell that? Take a deep breath through the nose.
[Breathes through nose]
Flynn Rider: Really let that seep in. What are you getting? Because to me, that's part man-smell, and the other part is really bad man-smell. I don't know why, but overall it just smells like the color brown. Your thoughts?

4. Flynn Rider: Oh... oh no... where is my satchel?
Rapunzel: [proudly] I've hidden it. Somewhere you'll never find it.
Flynn Rider: [Looks around the room for 2 seconds] It's in that pot, isn't it?
[Rapunzel hits him with her frying pan]

5. Flynn Rider: Let me just get this straight, I take you to see the lanterns, bring you back home, and you'll give me back my satchel?
Rapunzel: I promise.
[Flynn gives Rapunzel an unconvinced look]
Rapunzel: And when I promise something, I never ever break that promise.
[Flynn is still unconvinced]
Rapunzel: EVER!
How to Train Your Dragon

6. Hiccup: Thank you for the breast-hat.

7. Hiccup: "Excuse me, barmaid! I'm afraid you brought me the wrong offspring! I ordered an extra-large boy with beefy arms, extra guts and glory on the side. This here, this is a talking fish-bone!"

8. Gobber: Oh, nice of you to join the party! I thought you'd been carried off!
Hiccup: Who, me? Nah, come on! I'm way too muscular for their taste! They wouldn't know what to do with... all this!
[gesturing to himself and flexing]
Gobber: Well, they need toothpicks, don't they?

9. Hiccup: You, sir, are playing a dangerous game! Keeping this much raw viking-ness contained! There will be consequences!
Gobber: [deadpan] I'll take my chances.
10. Hiccup: Thanks for nothing you useless dragon!!!!

Random Entry

This is from Monday's class with the "person view" writing activity we did.
Hans the Chicken Plucker

1st Person
I hate my job. I'm a chicken plucker and I'm vegetarian. Ironic I know. Every morning I force myself out of bed, consumed with dread of how many more animals I'm condeming to slaughter.
I make myself a pot of coffee and sit down to a bowl of cereal. The ticking of my kitchen wall clock echos throughout my small 70's trailer. Only twenty minutes left I leave.
I hate the idea of coming home after 8 hours being covered in feathers and blood.
It depresses me, leaves me restless. I have a .9 mm in the closet, I ponder using it someday.

2nd Person
I gave up on this one- I'm horrible at this one! >.<

3rd Person
He never liked waking up at four in the morning. Before the sun peaked over the horizon. What he really hated though eas his job. Hans was a chicken plucker. For 8 hours a day he would stand at the cold metal slab tables and rip out feathers. What made it worse was that he was vegetarian. Some days while eating breakfast and drinking his coffee he would recall his H & K .9 mm that was hidden in his closet. He hoped to use it someday.

Popular Mechanics by Raymond Carver

This short story was written very well, the nameless characters helps the reader to focus on the baby, the action, and it keeps the reader emotionally detatched from the mother and father.

The language is minimal which keeps the story flowing easily. "hotter the topic, the cooler the language"

The title of the short story conveys the "everywhere" nature which further dehumanizes the characters. It has very formal structure in the plot, setting, and character development.

The length is more like a "punch in the face" because it keeps the story short and it leaves out a lot of details to help the reader understand. It is more implied towards the action and why the husband was leaving.

The ending is horrible. It causes the reader to be in denial of what happened to the child. It is only implied that the child was killed and ripped apart. At least it did not go into details about how it was done and how bloody it was!

Reading Response #2

Chapter 11 was over Subject, and that is a huge problem I have with my writing. I start on something not knowing where I want to go with it or what I am writing about it.

It helped me a lot with the few tricks up its sleeve. It goes into important things to look for when writing your poem.  Its a bit hard to describe, its very verbose with a ton of bigfoot poems, all I can say is that it was helpful and allowed room for error within your work in progress.

Another really great poem was about the most amazing super hero ever!!!! BATMAN! Yes batman, I nearly died laughing! It was amazingly true, especially about how so many fans treat him as if he were a god! Overall though it was a fantastic chapter!

Poetry:

Of flesh & Spirit by Wang Ping
This poem was my favorite dutring the reading! I loved how Wang moved the poem, and brought culture into the poem. It is very heavily saturated with the cultural expectations, and beliefs of the Chinese.

I liked getting to see the differences of culture. The poem being Chinese and myself ,the reader, being American. It was eye opening and inspiring.

My favorite quote: in socialist China, husbands and wives call each other "my lover"
I adore that line. I thought it was so sweet and romantic. (I'm quite the hopeless romantic)

I highly encourage you to go out and find this peom. It is truely execptional!
