Alex Daugherty:
hey
[Message #3]
Alex Daugherty:
what did you do for homework?
[Message #4]
Chochi Santos:
The same stuff as everyone else.
[Message #5]
Alex Daugherty:
no, i mean, which cultural text?
[Message #6]
Chochi Santos:
What did you do?
[Message #7]
Chochi Santos:
Have you started on the essay?
[Message #8]
Alex Daugherty:
i didnt do it, i was just wondering what you thought about the society now vs.
texts thing.
[Message #9]
Alex Daugherty:
i didnot start the essay
[Message #10]
Alex Daugherty:
did you?
[Message #11]
Chochi Santos:
Society has changed, but not completely.
[Message #12]
Alex Daugherty:
that is what i think.
[Message #13]
Chochi Santos:
All the ideals from the past are still here today, only they're expressed
passively now.
[Message #14]
Alex Daugherty:
i agree, the themes are less overt today, but pretty much the same.
[Message #15]
Alex Daugherty:
are you doing the second or first essay topic?
[Message #16]
Chochi Santos:
I haven't decided yet, but I'm leaning toward the second one.
[Message #17]
Alex Daugherty:
it seemed to me that that one you would have to read into more. the ideas are
not as obvious in the reading.
[Message #18]
Chochi Santos:
Yeah, but I'd rather have more to write about than less. I always end up writing
too little or not having enough info.
[Message #19]
Alex Daugherty:
so, what do you think the texts say about society, in relation to classes?
[Message #20]
Chochi Santos:
What do you mean?
[Message #21]
Alex Daugherty:
i mean for the second topic, what do the texts say about social classes.
[Message #22]
Chochi Santos:
Well, the texts we read were about things from a long time ago, which were
written a long time ago, but the mags I read were about classes today.
[Message #23]
Alex Daugherty:
okay, so what themes do you think are still stressed in western culture?
[Message #24]
Chochi Santos:
The man should be the leader of the relationship. Both male and female magazines
believe this.
[Message #25]
Chochi Santos:
Male magazines tell men how to lead while female magazines tell them how to
follow.
[Message #26]
Alex Daugherty:
that has been true since men started hunt, and all that. it is true in a sense
with other species even. that is, if you think leader means provider.
i dont neccesarily think that men are in charge of relationships, they are not
even in charge in any of the texts we read.
[Message #27]
Alex Daugherty:
the men seem as though they are just there, and the woman has to struggle
through strife to win him.
[Message #28]
Chochi Santos:
Actually, they are. Even when they don't mean to lead, the females end up
serving and following them.
[Message #29]
Alex Daugherty:
just because they are following them, does not mean that they are not in charge,
it seems that by following them, they have more power over the relationship.
[Message #30]
Chochi Santos:
Yeah, i agree.
[Message #31]
Alex Daugherty:
so what do you think about economic class as represented in the stories?
[Message #32]
Chochi Santos:
It seems like rich people are shown to be jerks.
[Message #33]
Alex Daugherty:
how?the father of psyche is a king, and he is not shown negatively.
[Message #34]
Alex Daugherty:
and the other families are wealthy, but are not shown negatively.
[Message #35]
Chochi Santos:
Oh really?
[Message #36]
Chochi Santos:
LOL
[Message #37]
Chochi Santos:
I don't remember that part.
[Message #38]
Chochi Santos:
Aren't the gods in a social class?
[Message #39]
Alex Daugherty:
yeah. the only poor sort of person is beautys family, but only for a bit, and
then after they meet beast they have all that gold or whatever.
[Message #40]
Alex Daugherty:
i guess the gods are at the highest social class.
[Message #41]
Alex Daugherty:
but they do not participate in economic classes, so i think they are excluded.
[Message #42]
Chochi Santos:
And Beauty's sisters were arrogant jerks when they were rich.
[Message #43]
Chochi Santos:
Then when they became poor, people thought that they got what they diserved.
[Message #44]
Chochi Santos:
Except for Beauty, because her kindness transended all social classes.
[Message #45]
Alex Daugherty:
they were cruel though, i think that is a product of there personality.
[Message #46]
Alex Daugherty:
their*
[Message #47]
Alex Daugherty:

Alex Daugherty:

[Message #61]
Chochi Santos:
The part when they are dancing.

Alex Daugherty:

[Message #63]
Chochi Santos:

Yes.
