  1. how things do not appear as they seem in different literary forms by land tears
  2. for my biography. I chose Melinda Monroe
  3. while reading melons biography. You see how things do not appear the way they seem
  4. when we think of celebrities, we think of surface level of what we know about them.
  5. We think their lives are perfect because they make tons of money and go on tons of
  6. fancy events.
  7. The melon Monroe or norma jean is a key example that
  8. celebrities are just as human as the rest of us.
  9. When Marilyn was young,
  10. it was stated that she was
  11. Reared
  12. by 12 successive sets of foster parents and for a time in an orphanage,
  13. Marilyn did not have an easy child growing up in various homes
  14. and her mother being in an asylum.
  15. Even as she got older, it was hard for her to get a job
  16. after doing a few roles for Colombia and Fox Studios,
  17. she was again unemployed.
  18. She returned
  19. to modeling for photographers.
  20. When I think of Marilyn Monroe, I think of a pop culture icon, a woman who
  21. a woman who yet many tried to define as a huge sex symbol.
  22. Did not allow that defined who she was
  23. Marilyn was,
  24. who she was and whether people found her beautiful or
  25. just overly hyped to stay true to who she was
  26. in the book.
  27. When Elizabeth was faced with the choice of
  28. accepting Richard conning mr Collins wedding proposal,
  29. she knew that she would be unable to accept a proposal because
  30. she did not love him.
  31. Elizabeth wants to marry for love but her mother
  32. we've broken that she had to decline his offer.
  33. She knew that by having Elizabeth accept that offer should be able
  34. to keep the house and save her sisters from being homeless.
  35. I could understand why Miss Miss Bennet
  36. would be pressed on getting Elizabeth married.
  37. She's just trying to ensure that all her daughters are taken care of.
  38. But Elizabeth knew
  39. that she could not marry Mr Collins
  40. because of convenience.
  41. When charlotte tells Elizabeth that she used to marry Mr Collins,
  42. she explains that now everyone has the option to marry for romance.
  43. Charlotte felt as though she had to marry mr Collins because she had no other option.
  44. I can't imagine the amount of insecurity that may cause a young girl.
  45. If a girl grew up knowing that she was not
  46. the picture of perfection or the most handsome woman.
  47. She feels as though she must accept any marriage offer that comes her way
  48. because she may not get another one.
  49. We are very fortunate in our society. Now to have the option to marry for love
  50. most of the time,
  51. but still in certain countries, women are not allowed to marry for love.
  52. They must marry who was arranged for them.
  53. Well, the story,
  54. you get an interesting perspective on how everyone leaves their own lives.
  55. That reminds me of being in the car and driving
  56. and looking
  57. at other people in their cars and thinking to myself,
  58. these people leave several lives
  59. apart from mine.
  60. Some people will never have the privilege of meeting because that is just how it goes
  61. in Almost every paragraph,
  62. the author of this short story bounced from one person's life to another,
  63. remember when I was at a friend's house for a few short days,
  64. I was a part of her life, we did everything together.
  65. But then when I left to go to another friend's house,
  66. you're separate from that person again
  67. and you've actually been your own lives.
  68. Like when the story was talking about with Tamara,
  69. she feels as though picking the right outfit can make her day,
  70. so make a decision of what she's going to wear was the biggest issue
  71. of her day,
  72. but Roger who was recently divorced was dealing with not being able to buy a mango.
  73. These two people
  74. live separate lives
  75. and have different issues and priorities
  76. while watching this movie,
  77. it tricks you into thinking that Dwayne Johnson's
  78. character is partners with Ryan Reynolds character.
  79. But later on,
  80. you find out that Dwayne's character is actually married to the bishop,
  81. which is gal Gadot is character
  82. the entire time you have the perspective that Duane's a cop
  83. who wants to do good because his father was a crook,
  84. but he even tells the story of how he wanted to be better
  85. than his father.
  86. But later on in the movie, you find out that he's actually a criminal
  87. and he wanted to only improve as a criminal.
  88. This shows we cannot judge a book by its
  89. cover because we never really know who anyone is.
  90. Ryan Reynolds character went along with
  91. went along the entire time thinking it was a cop who was by him
  92. and he was going to help him later to find out he was going
  93. Scanned out of the 3rd egg.
  94. When reading this poem at first I found it difficult to figure out what the theme is.
  95. The writer is making it seem as though somebody has died.
  96. You can even see their body in the lake.
  97. But I think it is referring to our own reflection in the water.
  98. When we look at the water, you can see your reflection
  99. like the poem says, it's difficult to say where precisely or
  100. how large or how small I am.
  101. The effect of the water on the light is a distortion.
  102. We can look at our reflection in the water and the size of
  103. our reflection varies on how far or how close we are to the water
  104. Now, how do I apply this to our two
  105. to your theme questions
  106. are things always as they appear
  107. with the poem, very few things are straight forward and to the point,
  108. most of the time they must really sit
  109. and ponder what the message
  110. is trying to come back
  111. with his poem.
  112. I think the writer is talking about someone who has passed and it makes you think of
  113. how impermanent life is and how something can be there one day and gone the next.
  114. When I think about how it can be viewed,
  115. I think of ourselves. When people look at us,
  116. they can't
  117. see the path that we have taken that has led us to become who we are today.
  118. When we look in the mirror at our reflection,
  119. we know all the choices we have made to mull ourselves into a certain type of person.
  120. That is the conclusion of my presentation. Thank you.
