A blog! Werd. Good stuff, I guess. So, my name’s Allison, and I’m 17. My strong point is in Seinfeld trivia, and I love pop culture. Today/tomorrow I’m gonna write a post about modernist literature. The next post is gonna be focusing on “A turn to ‘open’ or ambiguous endings, again seen to be more representative of ‘reality’ — as opposed to ‘closed’ endings, in which matters are resolved,” which is from Some Attributes of Modernist Literature. It should be a good time. This aspect of modernist literature interests me most because two of my favorite directors, Joel and Ethan Coen, are somewhat notorious for using amibguous endings in many of their films, such as Barton Fink, No Country for Old Men, and Raising Arizona. Another example comes from Chuck Palahniuk’s controversial novel, Survivor.

I don’t know how many other people love Dumb and Dumber, but wow. What an epic film.

Looking good, Allie (or is it Ally)? You’ve got rather eclectic film tastes. If you like the Coen brothers, I wonder if you’ve seen Blood Simple?
At any rate, looks like you’re ready to go. As soon as we finish the Eliot stuff, you’ll probably be ready to start putting in some content. A short story you will want to pay close attention to for purposes of your attribute is “The Killers” by Uncle Ernie Hemingway.
