Symbolism




     Joseph was being dragged along the sidewalks after the people decided he was to be lynched. He was accused of murdering someone that he knows he never even touched but there was nothing he could do about it. He was hung from a tree as the people cheered feeling that justice had been done. The crowd dissipated and came back in an hour to an empty noose swinging like a pendulum from the tree. People claimed to have fleeting glimpses of Joseph running around the town. The people were plagued with the fear of being haunted and pretended like it never happened.

     Joseph is supposed to have symbolized Jesus in the story of his death and resurrection.  Jesus had been crucified and his dead body sealed in a tomb. One day when they came back to check on him he was gone. People claimed that they had seen him.

    I like the symbolism between Joseph and Jesus. The blog was smooth and made sense. Good job!

March Madness

March Madness is my favorite part of the basketball season and is probably my favorite way that any sports season is ended. March Madness is the NCAA tournament that has 64 teams and 6 different rounds. This tournament is always very fun to watch and it is fun to pick the brackets for who you think is going to win. This is something I have been doing every year for a while. I am usually pretty good at this but this has been my worst year in a while. This years tournament has had more upsets than I have ever seen. The most shocking of which made history when the 16 seeded UMBC beat Virginia the overall 1 seed.  This also happened to be who I had picked to win the tournament and my bracket was already done for before the second round. Then there is also Loyola Chicago who has made it into the final 4 tied for the highest seed to make it there. This was overall no ones year for picking a bracket.

One of my favorite speakers during launch day was Erin. I thought the way that she presented was very engaging and interactive. It was a new twist that I found to be very cool and innovative. I liked the way that she did not try to force us to believe in her opinion but instead presented the facts and the arguments for both and left it up to us to form our own educated opinion. I thought the arguments sounded well made for both and I had already had my own opinion on the issue and the debate was still very entertaining. I also enjoyed Graham Frazier's presentation on the affect a powerful opinion can have on marketing and more specifically the Stockmarket. He explained what exactly the stock market was as it can be a point of confusion for many people. Then he gave us examples of how the stock market has changed based on the opinion of popular businessmen or other important people. I overall thought launch day was very interesting.
