I really enjoyed reading what you have to say; it makes me kinda want to start my own blog. <br />I do agree that that point of Stanley being a protagonist was brought up for completely literary reasons.<br /><br />And for that asshole who wants to be rude about it, don't read it. Simple as that.<br />Thank you, Ali.Jayme Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05349160916162275486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1196968715257490799.post-20430356071291600022010-05-27T21:50:36.319-04:002010-05-27T21:50:36.319-04:00Congrats! you've created some lovely internet ...Congrats! you've created some lovely internet and NHS drama--that means you're an official genuine blogger, darling :)Rhiannon Ecsedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13983504493249130255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1196968715257490799.post-33254605717642608202010-05-27T21:30:24.617-04:002010-05-27T21:30:24.617-04:00Alexandra--
Good for you for having strong opinion...Alexandra--<br />Good for you for having strong opinions and sharing them with other people. And, good for your classmate for looking at Stanley in a different way, and also sharing that. The fact that you are both so passionate must have lead to an interesting discussion in class!<br /><br />I think many of your readers (including your anonymous classmate that so kindly called you an "asshole") are reading into your blog in the wrong way. This is a place for you to share your opinions with people who want to hear them-- you are certainly not insulting your classmate, rather, using her comments as impetus for literary and social commentary. Your classmate, while it's understandable that she is upset, should take a breath and realize she has done a good thing by stimulating YOUR brain, as well as the brains of others!<br /><br />I think this is entirely a good thing... I hope your classmate will realize that, too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1196968715257490799.post-12657710837271686262010-05-27T20:58:44.640-04:002010-05-27T20:58:44.640-04:00I think you're awesome for doing this blog and...I think you're awesome for doing this blog and you shouldn't let negative comments bring you down!

Also, if you had read what I wrote, I stated that they meant this for literary purposes. I'm also pretty sure I thanked them for bringing up this controversial view. In no way was I saying they promote domestic violence.<br /><br />Also, you do not know me, nor do you know my life.

The person in class was not DEFENDING Stanley in any way, simply arguing a different viewpoint on the book (not real life). You cannot judge people for having their own opinions--while I agree that the story is mainly about Blanche, it is also about Stanley, and that fact cannot be ignored. His relationship with Stella, in fact all the relationships in the book, are disgusting and pathetic, but by saying Stanley may be the protagonist does not mean that said person promotes domestic violence?! That is a truly terrible and unjustified assumption to make.<br />Abuse can NEVER be tolerated OR justified, but for solely LITERARY discussion, it is alright to maybe consider where Stanley was coming from, even if one does not understand it (I certainly don't, nor do I see ANY explanation as an excuse for what he does). There is nothing wrong with letting that person have her own opinion.<br />The only reason I'm keeping this anonymous is that I don't want anyone judging me for having my own opinion. No one should have to feel that way in English class, and then have someone rant about them later. I do agree with some things you were saying, but maybe this wasn't the best place to say them, behind their back...it's a little insensitive and doesn't give them a chance to explain themselves. <br />I also had an issue with the statement, "YOU CAN RECOVER FROM THESE TRAUMAS. THERE IS A THING CALLED THERAPY, PEOPLE," as that is not always true and not really a fair statement to make. Therapy doesn't fix your problems...trust me :P<br />This is waaaay longer than I intended it to be, but I just wanted to share my opinion, and I'm really really sorry if I offended you Alex or anybody else :(<br />But seriously, fuck people that write idiotic, insulting comments only because they won't say it to your face.

First of all, I think it's absolutely ridiculous to try to argue that Stanley is the protagonist because it is CLEARLY a play that revolves around Blanche, and she is most clearly opposed to Stanly's character, not as the antagonist, but the pro. <br /><br />In class today, I definitely agree that they didn't bring it up maliciously but I completely agree--Stanly doesn't change throughout the play, he stays exactly the same! He's the same disgusting pig of a man he is at the beginning that he is at the end.<br /><br /><br />Also, Mr. I'm Rude and probably realize it which makes me an asshole and extremely arrogant, if you don't like what she's saying, don't read it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1196968715257490799.post-47945744920126573122010-05-27T17:31:00.784-04:002010-05-27T17:31:00.784-04:00Ali I cant believe you wrote about me in your blog...Ali I cant believe you wrote about me in your blog, your an asshole!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1196968715257490799.post-92044163527663170312010-05-27T16:44:45.327-04:002010-05-27T16:44:45.327-04:00Ms. Hayes, what you've just said is one of the...Ms. Hayes, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.
