Term 3 Week 5 Learning Log

For this week, our class learned more about scene 3 of "Are You Lonesome Tonight". For this scene we go back to the Older Presley and Redhead. Older Presley was talking to himself as he was all alone. He said he got lucky for fulfilling his Mama wishes for chandeliers to be put in evry room. Elvis took his Mama down to the riverside where Jesse(twin brother)was buried with the biggest monument made of marble gold letters. He was talking to Jesse as he had no more love ones that cared about him. Jesse will always be in Elvis heart even though he was dead. His car blew up a week after tells me that Elvis does not really treasures his possession properly. The way he treats his car is exactly like how he treats his own relationships. Redhead was honestly .1million dollar questions. WHY??, HOW??, WHO?? , WOW!!!
Metaphor:comparing speed for the car and space shuttle
-Cadillac blew up a week later doing a hundred and five
-Cape Carnival(The National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA) sent out an alert.
"There was pain as Elvis took his drugs". I believed his reason for taking the drugs was not because of pain but mostly because he just wants to feed his addiction. Is it right or wrong? People who are treating are having withdrawal symptoms called cold turkey where they are to lock themselves up.
The pain of no love ones to be there for you always is really sad. Why did he joined the US army? Do you all think that he will serve his country. What a minute, lets REMEMBER something he was at that point of time a singer/performer. Maybe
Red head was at the doorway when he said he was in pain. Elvis was remembering his Mama. He did had the chance to beat his mother side for the last time or throughout. He had to perform at the US army because of commitment. He cannot be at his mother` side as a faithful son. This was the dilemma he faced during that day.

Reflection:
He was treating a lot of things in his life like trash. I said this because he did not treasure them and seem to be throwing his own happiness, love ones all away. I would say this is a waste. He did not appreciate Redhead at all even though she tried her best to help him. He even wishes her get lost, ill. She really comforted Elvis when he had a breakdown remembering about his precious Mama. He was torn between being a faithful son and a commitment to his career as a singer/performer. I honestly fell very sad for him to end up liked who was. A lot of people are still his faithful fans even after he was dead and knew what was the cause of death. El did not really believed in himself

JOKES
Literature class

On his first day of classes at

a university, a student took a front row seat in a literature course.

The professor told them they would be responsible for reading five books, and that he would provide them with a list of authors from which they could choose.

Then the professor ambled over to the lectern, took out his class notes and began ... "Baker, Black, Brooks, Carter, Cook ... "

The student was working feverishly to get down all the names, when he felt a tap on his shoulder.

The student in back of him whispered, "He's taking attendance."

Alright, this week we were going through the next scene. This scene two involved Younger Elvis and his mother(Gladys Presley). For this scene Elvis laughed happily as he loved his mother very deeply. They both have a very close relationship. He bought a Pink Cardillac. He is the only one that has a car while tha other neighbours do not. Gladys feels that Elvis was very silly because he only look at the instead of driving it. Anyway he owned it why was he not driving it. He will do anything for his mother even putting chandeliers in the bathroom.

A Mother's Love

A Mother's love is something that no on can explain, It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain, It is endless and unselfishand enduring come what mayFor nothing can destroy itor take that love away . . .It is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking, And it never fails or falterseven though the heart is breaking . . .It believes beyond believing when the world around condemns, And it glows with all the beautyof the rarest, brightest gems . . .It is far beyond defining,it defies all explanation,And it still remains a secretlike the mysteries of creation . . . A many splendoured miracleman cannot understandAnd another wondrous evidenceof God's tender guiding hand.

Term 3 Week 3 Learning Log

In this week, our class learn more about Elvis. In the first scene about how he laughed when he said about two of his friend Duke and Gerry. He laughed mockingly that suggest he had a bad opinion about both of them. When Redhead wanted to talk with Elvis , he seem to pushed her away. This seems to suggest that he was not really interested in the conversation. Elvis was not a good boyfriend because his behaviour toward Redhead was cruel, cold and unconcern at all. But Redhead was not behaving liked this towards Elvis. Instead she was very caring, polite and felt pity for him. Elvis does not care about Redhead at all. When Redhead wanted to talked to him. He answered "Wanna gold watch?Cardillac?Wha` d` y`want, honey?". This suggest that he only think that Redhead wants his money. She still continued saying that she wanted to speak to him. He answered "Yeah, sure, see you later, hon.Got things to do.". This really shows he was not interested in the conversation.

He reaches in the attache case to take out the pills. Those pills were drugs from his friend Duke and Gerry. Redhead slammed the lid of the attache case to prevent him from taking the drugs to feed his addiction. This really shows that she really cared about Elvis even though treated her feelings badly.

Term 3 Week 2 Learning Log

Last week, was the first week our class had started to acknowledge the most famous American singer. Elvis Aaron Presley(January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was one of the most popular American singers of the 20th century. A cultural icon, he is widely known by the single name Elvis. He is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll"orn in Tupelo, Mississippi, Presley moved to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family at the age of 13. He began his career there in 1954 or simply "the King".He became the leading figure of the newly popular sound of rock and roll with a series of network television appearances and chart-topping records. Conscripted into military service in 1958, Presley relaunched his recording career two years later with some of his most commercially successful work. He staged few concerts, however, and, guided by Parker, proceeded to devote much of the 1960s to making Hollywood movies and soundtrack albums, most of them critically derided.

Elvis Presley 's only child, Lisa Marie, was born on February 1, 1968, during a period when he had grown deeply unhappy with his career. Presley 's divorce took effect on October 9, 1973. He was now becoming increasingly unwell. Twice during the year he overdosed on barbiturates, spending three days in a coma in his hotel suite after the first incident. Toward the end of 1973, he was hospitalized, semi comatose from the effects of Demerol addiction.
