Question of the Week #1

Hello!

It's the first QOW...woo-hoo!!

I am going to see a horror movie tomorrow night ( "30 days of Night"...surprise, surprise) and was thinking of all the past horrow movies I have seen. Why is it (I questioned myself) are there no real good heroines in horror movies. And I mean, real good heroines...not the "oh, my high heel just broke as I was running away from the zombie....and gosh darn it, I tripped over nothing and can't get up!!" I mean, epic hero style heroines who take charge and don't ask "Is anyone there....seriously, stop kidding around" as they (stupidly) go into a dark room where they hear scary noises. I want a cool, take charge heroine.. one that would give Jason or Freddy a run for the money.

So...with that in mind, choose a female character from any piece of literature you've read and tell me why she could give the mosters a real fight.Make it good...

Hi Mischley! I love the picture additions to the blog. You're a blogging pro now.

Aaalright, I'd say that Mama from A Raisin in the Sun could give a monster a run for his money. She's so defiant and brave. If she can take on racism and raising a whole family, she can do anything. Mama would just smack it with her potted plant.

The baby is so cute!!!

I think that Jane Eyre would be a good heroine becuase she does not care about girly stuff. She does not about what people think of her and she does not take anything from anyone. She is a tough cookie so i can't really picture her going "who is there?" in a really pathetic way.

I agree with Chels about Jane Eyre. When she hears Grace Poole in the middle of the night she doesn't cower in her room, she goes out to find out what is up and ends up saving Mr. Rochester's life. She would kick butt in a horror movie. Can't you just see her in all of her petticoats and whatnot taking on monsters.
P.S. Mischley, you should check out Bravo's list of the 100 Scariest Movie Moments and see if you agree.
P.P.S. Did you get my research topic? I sent it twice.

I'm in with the Jane Eyre club. She never compromises herself because of what other people think or try to do to her.

hey mischley!!

Ma from Grapes of Wrath could fight the monster because she keeps the family together. even through all the hardships that the fmaily goes throught she keeps going, knowing that it is best for the family

Heyy Mischley....

Ma from The Grapes of Wrath could definately kick a monster's butt. She takes charge in difficult situations and shows her family who's boss.

Hey Mischley-
I was just wondering if you got my emails because I've sent two about my research paper topic and I haven't gotten any response yet.

mischley...i miss you like woahhh and dibs on holding molly when you bring her in to see us!

ok so lets get down to business. i think jane eyre would throw down if a monster came to town. (woah i totally just rhymed) she'd beat him in a second because of her confidence and toughness. she doesnt let people push her around.

see ya later misch!
