Happy endings & Babbette

Its all about the details. Babbette starts out just telling the what, and the what, and the what. Then she slowly adds the how and the why...but not really. The how and why are just the small details that are placed into the mixture at the end that really adds the shock factor for Jack. Either way she tells the story it ends the same, she’s taking dylar, was having an affair, and was not the same babette that she use to be. She says this with no emotion, no pity, but rather with selfish intent. This is how i think it is comparable the Margaret Atwood’s “happy endings”.

Girl Scouts

Thank the Lord i never had to go through girl scouts...I looked up on the Girl Scouts web site why exactly they sell cookies, and their answer was, "The activity of selling cookies is directly related to our purpose of helping all girls realize their full potential and become strong, confident, and resourceful citizens." Oh, what a nice sugar coated answer. It then says, "Girl Scouts practice life skills like goal setting, money management, and teamwork—and they have fun!". I dont think this is the only answer though. I think that these girls are being taught all of the above, but aswell i think they are getting taught to fake a smile to get what they want. They are conditioned and taught to be people pleasers, to serve and eventually get rewared. They focus on how many cookies they can sell, and work the majority of the year planning and budgeting and all that fun stuff. It teaches little girls to work hard to get what they want, but also to be at service to those around them.
Little boys play in the forest, and little girls sell cookies. Sounds like pretty gender spacific rolls to me.

Deconstruction.

So I tried to do this with Kendra, by asking her what was love, buts she’s way too over analytical and ended up answering my questions with questions and really strong statements. Then I tried to do this same question with my best friend, Anna, and she just got mad at me for “questioning her”. And when I told her to go with it, she said I was being ridiculous, and then told me to shut up. So I was ready to give up when my sister came along talking about her boyfriend, I asked her what she means by boyfriend, she said “duh, ZACK”. Which could have been the end of this conversation as well but I tried again…I said no, what’s it mean to have a boyfriend. She went on some o so typical 8th grade answer to that kind of question and ending with the statement “we just like each other”. Then I asked her what it means to like someone, being a sassy 14 year old, she responded, “my heart tells me so”. She then got a text from him, and walked off. Two failed attempts, and one boring answer later, my attempt at deconstruction was pretty much a failure.

O well, I tried.
