Lady M's Netflix List




1. Family Guy
Im starting it off with an unorthodox show comparing it to Macbeth but contrary to popular belief the show relates a lot to Lady M's situation. Lady M would relate her life to Lois the most as she is wife to a man who she believes is immature and incompetent. Lois cant leave Peter to get the most simplest task done and for Lady M she can rely on Macbeth for certain things but she believes she would be a best fit to do the job over Macbeth. Her underlying secret motive can also be seen in the show in the many episodes where Lois plots against Peter to prove that she can do any job he can better. Lady M's famous unsex me speech is a resemblance to her unknown ambition to prove she is a better king then Macbeth could be.

 

2. Friends
Im hoping you're sensing a pattern that I don't like to pick obvious shows but friends is a great show for Lady M because it has 3 great examples of powerful women who take charge of their lives. Lady M is an independent minded women and would enjoy seeing 3 role models who live their lives as she would in her time. Plot wise it shows the three women doing what is best for them and their lives not settling for any bullshit that crosses their paths. For those reason alone it appeals to Lady M's drive to be independent and strong.

3. Orange is The New Black
 This show is all about women and women power. There is a lot of reasons why this is something Lady M should jump on the bandwagon and watch. She would join the millions of people including me who just enjoy the atmosphere of the show, the plot draws you in with intense emotion and good character development. Lady M is most likely Alex Vause for Lady M is very secretive with her life and what she wants and the same goes for Alex. Lady M's masculinity can be seen in many of the beginning acts of the play and how she wants to take over well in OITNB Alex is all about control and having the upper hand so she is never vulnerable. Lady M can learn a few tricks from Alex to help her manage her obsessiveness.

4. The Mindy Project DVD i would be doing an injustice to not advise Lady M to watch this. Its a show all about a women climbing her way to the top with a little sarcasm and fun along the way. This is right up her alley in terms of wanting to watch practically herself on TV. Not only does it set a great example of how to gain power in  mans word but it shows that you can also have fun doing it and I think it would be a great relief for Lady M seeing as she likes to take things to the extreme at times. Mindy and Lady M has a nice ring and these are the shows Lady M show invest the rest of her life in :)

Foolish Fate

Foolish Fate 

3. Do you believe events in your life have been guided by fate or chance? Why or why not? Based on the text, what do you think Shakespeare's attitude was towards fate? Does Macbeth have any choice in his actions or was everything predetermined? Use examples from the text as your support.

There are certain things that happen in my life that I know happened for a reason and they're either good things or the opposite. Nevertheless I do believe that at least in my life events occur based upon fate or chance. I wouldn't go as far as to say my life is completely set and in its course or predestination which a whole other debate but fate does have a factor in my life. In certain actions that I do and how my life goes I begin to realize a pattern and see that this happened based on what I did two or three weeks ago and this is a common occurrence so Its either I do the same things a get the same repercussions or my theory is correct in the fact that I my is influenced by fate. The reason I think it is, is the fact that my religion says to have fate in God and that God has a plan for all of us. I trust this saying and go through my life knowing that even when the storm comes through I just know that the storm isn't permanent and everything will be okay. Thats just a cheesy way of saying to have fate in God and he will pull you through the bad times and that is why I truly believe my life is guided by fate.

In Macbeth it is similar and different from me at the same time. For example Macbeth is different from me in the fact that he acts upon his fate like when he kills Duncan whilst I just notice when things add up. Macbeth's fate was already predetermined by the witches, but he took matters into his own hands an altered his fate by doing things outside of his character. He is similar to me in regards that his fate has relation to religion and how he trusts that what the witches have said is the truth. He had no choice in the original fate but he had a choice in his own actions.

"Keep Yo Hands Of My Momma"

The ad that I selected is a Doritos commercial called "House Rules" and it was aired on February 7th, 2010 during Superbowl XLIV. The author of the ad is Joelle De Jesus and the purpose of the ad is to show how important Doritos are to the child life if he puts them before his mother.

Denotative Examination: The commercial focuses on the lust the man has for the women in the beginning but slowly transitions into wraith when the kids proceeds to slap the man. The child makes it clear that he does not want this man in his house eating his Doritos and dating his mother. The man seems to just welcome himself to the food not even having the curtesy to ask before taking.

Connotative Examination: The most prevalent Deadly Sin is Gluttony and it can be defined as " means over-indulgence and over-consumption of food, drink, or wealth" and in this add it shows how gluttony can be portrayed in more ways than just over food. The man seems to be in the it for only the things he can gain rather than just commitment. The child is more concerned with the man eating his Doritos than him dating his mother. In the Ad the last rule is "keep your hands of my Doritos" and this symbolizes that the last thing that should be acknowledge is that his Doritos are off limit. 

The intended audience: The intended audience is teenagers from the age of 13-18 as the commercial is supposed to bring us bak to at time where our this could have been prevalent. This ad is also aimed at a black audience due to the slang used throughout the commercial. The connotation of the ad is funny and informative.

Blog Post 2: The Reason Why I Don't Go By Symani

Summary:

My full name is Symani Anthony Gallimore Simpson. Most of my friends call me Simpson while all of my family calls me Symani. The word Symani is derived from the word 'Syman" which means warrior. This meaning does not fit me because im not a confrontational person, never really have been. Maybe that is why I dont like to be called Symani or because everyone else with name is a female. I fell like the name is really meant for me but I am beginning to accept it and appreciate it. 

The two me's dont really correlate well, on one hand my name says im supposed to be a warrior but my self says im a strong individual but also kind. I like to believe that I can balance the too but im just not very comfortable with be considered a warrior when im nothing like it.
