BJD Movie vs Film

Before starting the novel BJD, I had previously watched the movie so the image of Renee Z, stuck pretty throuoghly in my mind. As I read the book i found that they left key scence out in the movie. Probaly for a more realistic effect, Although I do like the movie BJD i found I enjoyed reading the novel more (possibly b/c I enjoy reading). I enjoyed the dramatization of B's mom in the novel, how she ran away with her spanish lover and was smuggling money from her friends. It was hiliarious. None the less, I feel as though I enjoyed them both equally.

What is a writer?

To me a writer is anyone who takes the time out to write. No matter what the topic is or what the writing is about I believe anyone can be considered a writer. Although I do believe there are varying degrees of writers who am I so say that someone is not a writer. When I close my eyes and image a writer a see a petite women, with a french bun, reading glasses and loads of books stacked on her desk neatly with a reading light. Why a women? I am not sure when I closed my eyes thats what I saw. But when I image a personal writer or personal writing I image someone siting under a tree with a journal or note book carelessly writing about their hopes and dreams.

I guess I believe a writer can come in all shapes and sizes.

Article Comparison

Change your attitude change your life and 14 things you don't (want to) know about women where the articles I read and I found that there was a dramatic difference in the themes of the articles. The article change your attitude change your life was geared towards women, it provided women with the insight to look inside themselves as a postivie reenforcement for change. It also used words such as change, powerful, succesful and affirm to give women hope and strength about their futures. I found this article in ebony magazine and although this particular magazine is not directed at women it does have a lot of specific gender oriented articles that provide a positive light on women.
But the article I read in esquire magazine (men mag.) 14 things you don't (want to) know about women from first sight through me for a loop. If you look at the title it seems as if there is a pun after don't (want to) know. As i read this article I found the things the authour said where appalling and sexists. For example question 4 states "most of us have had an abortion or three" or a comment like "we've all turned last night's underwear inside out" I would have thought to be made by a man. But as I read on I found that this particle was written by a women. what a shocker.
I think women magazines aim to impower women (at least some of the time) and to left their spirits while magazines such as esquire or GQ magazine are ment to demoralize and demine women.

Private vs Public Writing

Private writing to me is a informal approach to writing. It could be anything from a diary all the way up to a personal letter. Private writing is loosely organized and their is no formal structure to the piece as it jumps from topic to topic. But when I think of Public writing I think of journal articles, news papers or magazine articles. Public writing to me always has some type of topic and is usually widely distributed in public reading places and areas. I find a lot of public writing to have very little substance and sometimes quiet boring. If I had a choice I would generally choose private writing or public to read. I find that private writing is a little more intimate.
