Diving Into the Wreck

            “Diving into the Wreck” is by Adrienne Rich. There can be multiple interpretations of this poem. For instance the “on the surface” interpretation and the “under the surface” interpretation.

            On the surface it looks as if she is really talking about exploring a shipwreck. The way that she explains the scene is rather creepy. She is talking about the color of the water as the sun is making shadows in the water. She says that the water is blue, green, and black which makes it sound very creepy. By how she is describing the scene it makes me not want to go scuba diving; especially not alone.

            Under the surface there can be many interpretations. One interpretation could be that the shipwreck is represented as society. Rich is saying that she wants to go explore the shipwreck, which could mean that she wants to explore society.

            This poem was very difficult for me to interpret because it can have so many different meanings. It’s hard to figure out what she is really meaning in this poem.

Streetcar named Desire

            Streetcar named desire is a written work and it was made into a movie. I personally liked the movie better because I could visually see what was happening between the characters. We watched most of the movie in class on Wednesday. I thought that the characters were mostly the same in the written work and the movie.

            Stanley was still very pushy and arrogant. He always thought he was right and pushed the women around. The story is mostly about Stanley and Blanche arguing about stuff that really isn’t that important.

            I liked this movie because, I like the time period it was made in. I thought it looked very cool and it kept my interest, just because I have never seen any movie like this. Streetcar named desire is about two sisters and a man and Blanche comes to visit Stella and Stanley and it appears that right away Stanley and Blanche don’t get along. Over all I thought the movie was very interesting.
