Eighth Blog Prompt

In the book, The Ocean at the End of the Lane, the three Hempstock women are the Triple Goddess because they wasn't conceived the natural way. Triple Goddesses are known as the Mother, Maiden and Crone archetypes. The Goddesses and the Hempstock women are in different stages of life. Lettie is young and innocent, Ginnie is the mother who is living her life and Old Mrs. Hempstock is the Crone, who is the most powerful than all of the other women. The Hempstocks and the Triple Goddesses are similar because they represent the three stages in a female's life. Lettie is portrayed as the Maiden because of her age. Mrs.Hempstock is portrayed as the Mother because of her concerned, motherly nature. Old Mrs.Hempstock is portrayed as the Crone because she is older and powerful. The Hempstocks are believed to have powers that others do not have.

Seventh Blog Prompt

A situation where I believed something for a long time was when my grandmother told me that my pet cat had ran away, but in all reality she had to put her down. I loved my cat so much because she was like a best friend to me. She used to sleep with me and we always played together. For years, I thought that my cat had ran away from home because that was what I was told and believed it. Although, my grandmother told me this, I was still confused because I thought that my cat had had a good life living with us, but I still had believed it because I was young and gullible.

After watching the short film it began with a woman and man inside an elevator and she turns on her music on her phone and so does the man, and they keep turning up their volume to hear their music louder than one another. Other people began to enter the elevator and they play their music and they all try to have their music louder than each other. In the end, another man enters the elevator and he has a big boombox so everyone turns their music off because they assume that his music will obviously be much louder. Everyone turns their music off because they all know that they won't overpower the man with the boombox. The funny thing is that he listens to his boombox, but he has headphones so no one else would even be able to hear it.
