Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God by Jonathan Edwards

I didn't really got the meaning of this reading, but I know and understand that it is a sermon for the people that commit sins, which I think is a little bit exaggerated because God can forgive people if they really regret their sins, he is not a monster that will forget about you and will envere ever forgive you. 
But I think that while you read the text you can really feel afraid, and it makes you think "and if this was true?". Maybe this was his point, to make people afraid of sins, so everyone could start making good actions, and that's why he described god as a mean monster that will never forget your sins and will make you suffer because you are mean, so you have to respect him and others to be accepted by him. 
I liked this sermon because it transmits a lot of feelings and fear, it can convince you to be a good person. 

I Knew a Woman by Theodore Roethke

At first sight I found this poem lovely and thought it was from a man in loved to his beloved... 

"I knew a woman, lovely in her bones"

But after reading it carefully, in some parts I found out it had like a double sense, or that it had erothical parts. 

"Ah, when she moved, she moved more ways than one:
The shapes a bright container can contain!
Of her choice virtues only gods should speak,
Or English poets who grew up on Greek
(I'd have them sing in a chorus, cheek to cheek)."

I infer that the man is really in love with that woman, he is so in love with her that he got the chance to know her better than any other woman he has seen. Actually in the whole poem he describes her in three ways, by her body, her heart, and her "moves". What he means is how she moved in bed.

I liked this poem because it describes the woman in a beautiful way, because eventhough it contains erotical content, it is a descent way to describe a lady. 

Song to Myself by Walt Whitman

To be honest I couldn't understand a lot of this "song", but what I'm pretty sure of is that it talks about life and many different things and moments in one person's life.
The song is divided in different sections, I can see that there is not a relation between them, or a meaning in the order in some of them, but at the beggining I can see that the first one talks about external things and the second one of internal things. The sections that I read talk about different things, for example number 8. I kindda understood that it is talking about different scenes that happen at the same moment, a suicide and the daily normal activities. And number 21, I think it is talking about equality between many things and in many ways, in nature and between human beings.
But honestly I didn't understand more than that.

The Crucible Movie

This movie was very intresting for me, I really liked it, but it made me angry in some parts. First of all I can say it's a really good movie, because it talks about how things used to be long time ago, instead of drugs and frauds, they had "witches", or teenagers that were impostors to get what they wanted.
I found really intresting the fact that one single person was able to control the whole town and make everyone believed that the people she said were witches, but also she made other girls to keep her lies. They cared more about their lives or what the bad girl could have done with them, than the lives of 28 people. Also when the wife of John Proctor lied for the first time to save his husband from adultery, that shows how much she loved him.
The moment that really made me angry was when the judge, afraid of the power that the girl could get, decides to stop the hunt. Another momento was when everyone believed in the girl as if she was God. But after seeing this movie I realized that things are still that way, everything is power.

The Birthmark by Nathaniel Hawthorne

I found this story very intresting, easy to understand, and easy guess the end of it. I think the main value here is the love, because we can see that even though Georgina doesn't want to take her birthmark away, she decides to make her husband happy and lets him experiment on her. Eventhough many people think her birthmark "is very charming and lovely, many men will kill to kiss it."

Since the begining I knew the birthmark had something to do with her life, and after he has the dream of the birthmark I think it was a message for him to say "this is what the birthmark is for her, don't do it." But he misunderstood it and his obssesion with that birthmark was so important that he ended up killing his wife.

I liked the story in the end, because it represents how unsignificant things can be for someone, but they really have a big value.
