Why We Blog

In my English 101 class at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, my students came to a realization--if you want to be good at something you have to practice it. They all mentioned they spent on average 4-5 hours a week on activities they considered themselves good at, but less than an hour a week writing. Why? Because they thought writing only counted when it was for school. So we agreed to try to write more on subjects and topics not related to school. This blog is a forum for all of us to voice our opinions, to be heard, to think and, most importantly to write.

Fairytale Related Movie

Blades of Glory is a movie that reminds me of the fairytale Cinderella. Katie is the younger sister of an ice skating duo comprised of a sister and brother. As a child Katie took ice skating lessons which her parents drove her to and from. One day while all three were driving to her lesson, there was a fatal car crash in which only Katie survived. From then on Katie's brother and sister treated her like Cinderella. They forced Katie to work for them, making her chauffer them to competitions, spy on their opponents and sew glamorous costumes for them while she received no pay and was treated very badly. At the end she finds happiness after enduring a few trials and tribulations.
