Blog #8, "Hollywoodlandia"

I choose option 3, out of the two stories; I enjoyed “Morocco Junction 90210”and would recommend the story to my female friends. I don’t think that the male gender would enjoy reading it, not as much as the other story “The Method.” Why did I chose Morocco Junction over The Method, I found that The Method was a little to much for me, especially the language, and how there was too much detail regarding the sex. Where Morocco Junction 90210, was a little of my style to read, the language was not as bad, and there was no sex detail. I am not totally saying that The Method was not a bad story to read and not to recommend it, it wasn’t. I did enjoy reading it; I like the twist on how Holly found out that her Richard was the same Richard that Mariah (an old actress who Holly befriended) had an affair with and got a restraining order on him. Again it was just not my type of story.  Not like Morocco Junction 90210, it was a story about Eloise an elderly woman living in Beverly Hill, takes her life to save her family from being humiliated when and if they found out that she had an illegitimate son. How she had sold her jewelry to give her illegitimate son a good upbringing. This to me was sad, in how the people in Beverly Hill would discriminated someone and their family just because they did not fit into the BH life style.

  1. I agree with you The method did have to much sex and foul language I don't really read those types of stories either, but out of the two i like the method more there was more of a interesting story especially how thing ended up with Richard that's what he gets for messing with a girl. Morocco Junction 90210 was a good story but i didnt really like it it was a bit boring

  2. Hello, great job in describing the story that you would reccomend to your friends. I really liked how you described the parts of the other story that you disliked. When I first read "The Method" I was in shock to for how the narrator used those vocabulary but then again I thought about it and said "overall it's just a novel and comparing to another one, it's not like it's going to take affect upon us" but everyone is different. I really liked how you stated overall what really happened in the story "Morocco Junction 90210." Good job and keep up the good work.

  3. I enjoy reading your blog. You did a nice job. I agree with you about the vocabulary and the details about sex. It is not my type of stories to read, as well. I also, chosed Morocco Junction 90210 over The Method. I thought that The Method was a good story but it had to much information for me. Your right, it is sad to know how people in Beverly Hills judges and discriminates someone and/or their families because they do not fit into the category of 90210.

  4. i thought you did a great job on this blog. i also agree with all you the comments here and with you. too much of sex talk and yes alot of foul vocabulary in The Method story. and i also think that Morocco Junction 90210 story was better and yes a little boring but it was more me.. one thing i do wanna say that The Method story was more of a film noir than the Morocco story. :)
