What does Esther want from Constantin? How does he react, and what are we to make of this reaction?
In this chapter Esther meets Constantin who is a proper man. Bascially the only reason she wants him at first is to sleep with him. Esther wants to get back at Buddy for all pain he has caused her by sleeping with another women. Esther starts to like Constantin and wants to sleep with him after she went to dinner and the UN thing. They go back to the apartment and Esther decides that she wants Constantin to seduce her. So she goes in the bed to lay down and finds Constantin coming to. All they end up doing is talk and fall asleep together but not anything special. I think that Constantin is a good man that doesn't want to give up this relationship for sex. I think Esther found a good man.

Bell Jar 2
What does Esther think of Buddy? What does she want from him? What does she want him to think of her?
First when Esther meets Buddy she loves him. She likes that he is smart, athletic, and good-looking. She later comes to realize that he's hypocritical and awkward. Also, Buddy tells her before they met that he use to date a girl for along trime. He says that he has alot of sexaul experiences with her. After hearing the awful news, Esther gets mad of what Buddy has done. So now she see's Buddy differently now. She wonders why it's ok for him to do it but not her. One part in the book is when Buddy ask Esther if she wanted to see him naked. I think that was very awkward to ask someone that. He wanted to see her naked and she wasn't comfortable to do that. She wants to get back at Buddy by sleeping with another man. She finds out that Buddy has TB and can't tell him how she feels. Basically that she wants to break up with up with him.

Bell Jar 1
Describe Esther’s feelings about her time in New York. Does she like it there? Why or why not.
I think that she likes New York but thinks the city is too fast paste. Esther reminds me of Buds mom in Pleasantville because they both feel confused and lost in their cities. When she explains her living in New York she writes how dull and empty she feels. When the book starts off it talks about how the setting takes place during summer that they excuted the Rosenburgs in 1953. What makes her stay in New York is her job with fashion and friends.

Pleasantville
Describe one or two ways the movie is trying to make Pleasantville look appealing. How is it trying to look unappealing?
The first way that they make Pleasantville perfect was by the language they spoke. In pleasantville all the words they used were positive. They like to use the words swell and other old fashion words. When the people speak in the town they always speak like their happy. Another way Pleasantville looked appealing beauce they had all the food you can eat. In Bud's house his mom made him tons of breakfast food that seemed so fake.
They try to make the city look appealing by making it seem like there is no problems and infinite happiness.

TV show from 1950.
A TV show from the 1950's that I researched was I Love Lucy. This show deals with marriage promblems in the 1950's. Like Leave It Beaver and Pleasantville they both show the positives of life. In their lives its all perfect and no one really gets hurt. The values that I Love Lucy presents is loyalty and relationship. It presents loyalty because Enrique has to be loyal to Lucy so their relationship will work out.

Japenese Interment camps April
Research the internment camps in California during World War II. Based on your findings, was it ethical for the U.S. to take such actions against Asians and Asian-Americans? How do these actions compare with those taken against Muslim-Americans after September 11th? How do they compare with Germany’s actions during WWII?
I dont believe that it was ethical to put the Japenese in the camps. When they were living in the camps the conditions were really bad. They had cook their own food that their bodies weren't use to. The clothes that were given were tworn and ripped. Their buildings weren't well constructed with holes in the walls and floors. Eventhough we were in war with Japan I don't believe that we needed to put them in camps. I think we should of just risen the security and awareness of the Japenese. They compared to Muslims because in our fight with Iraq we were suspicious of them too. Checking them constantly in airports. It compares alot to Germany because we both put a culture of people in camps. In Germany they were worse because that was out of hate. They treated them worse than animals and insects.
