Journal Entry (ch. 3-6)

a- In "Things Fall Apart," Umuofia is a patriarchal society. A patriarchal society is a society where men dominate. Men have almost all the power to govern the society. In the book, it seems like it wasn't considered awkward for Okonkwo to beat his wives. For instance, in chapter four, the only reason Okonkwo's two wives try to stop him from beating Ojiugo, his youngest wife, was because it was the sacred week. Also, the only reason he was punished was because he broke the Peace of Ani. This suggests that Okonkwo wouldn't be punished at any other time for beating his wife. Most societies today are patriarchal and most instances of domestic violence involve abuse against the wife. The only difference is that in our society, it wouldn't be as easily accepted.

Blogs Blog #1: [] I don't really visit a lot of blogs but this time, I searched for cheerleading blogs. I enjoyed looking at this blog because I'm actually one of the jv cheerleaders in our school and it's really interesting to look at what the other schools' cheerleaders are like. They posted up their own practice videos so that everybody can take a look at their process of hard work. I also saw their own spirit towards their squad. Blog #2: [] I have many hobbies, but most of the time, I sit in front of my piano, listening to my ipod, and play the song I hear directly on my piano. Even if it sounds really bad, I still play it and work it out. I always loved composing musics and mixing everything into a new melody. Not only the modern songs, but I also love classics too. Classics have simple patterns so it's easier for me to think of a melody. When visited this blog, I loved reading the posts about the most famous composers of classics.

Final Reflection I felt that the finals were the opportunity for us to raise up our grades and review almost everything that we studied. For some people it could be the same as the other test that they took, but the finals have more importance since it has more percentage. Even though it's really difficult and not fun, it was a chance for me to study hard and focus a lot.
