RUMBLE FISH - THE MOVIE


How important are the following characters in the film Rumble fish:


Rusty James: First of all he is the most important character since he is the main character. He is a very lonely child; he acts as he is bigger than his real age. His only goal is to be alike the motorcycle boy.

The Motorcycle Boy: He is Rusty James brother. He is a young man that doesn’t have a job or even a goal. He is a very mysterious man; you can never know what he was thinking about. He always tries to protect and help his brother since Rusty James is always involved in fights.

Steve Hays: He is very different from the rest. He likes to study and has goals. He is the one that help Rusty James at school with his assignments. He is always with him until he notices that he wants other things for his future. He was Rusty James best friend but then they never met again because both of them wanted different things.

Patty: She is the best looking girl at school and maybe at town. She seems to be a very good daughter and also a very good student. I think that Rusty James really liked her but he didn’t notice till she broke up with him. She likes very rude guys, very different from her personality.

Cassandra: She is totally in love with the motorcycle boy. She seems to be a drug addict because of her attitudes and the way that she speaks. Rusty James really hates her because I think he was jealous. Also because he thinks that she isn’t enough pretty and she is very addict to drugs.

Patterson: He is a cop of town that hates both brothers but essentially he hated the motorcycle boy the most. He was always looking if someone commits disturbance or an illegal act. Finally he made what he wanted, make the motorcycle boy disappear. He shot him because he entered to the pet shop and liberated all the animals of the store.

Smokey: At first he was in Rusty James gang. He was one of his closest friend but not his best friend. He seems to be very intelligent because he think very carefully before acting. He likes Patty, Rusty James ex girlfriend, and finally she is her girlfriend. Smokey takes Rusty James place, now he is the toughest guy of town. Now he is the one that everyone respects.

Rusty's parents: Well Rusty James mother abandoned them when they were very little maybe because she was tired of being a mother and she wanted to live new adventures. Rusty father is an alcoholic man that doesn’t take care of his children. He wasted all of his time drinking in bars and being drunk. He started to drink when his wife abandoned him. I think that he was so depressive that he couldn’t hang his Childs.

"CORRECTION"

Queen Elizabeth... Why not???
It was so difficult for me to think about a person I would like to meet, but I thought about my university needs. During our Civilization & Culture II course we have been studding about Queen Elizabeth I. I really don’t know too much about her, and actually I need to know more in order to carry out with my assessments.A good moment to talk to her would be drinking tea in her castle. We will talk about her life, which was the most important events during her reign, why she decides to become the virgin queen, her life, her everything; all those things in her own words. May be I could give her some advices, in order to create a connection between England and Chile … why not? Maybe it would help us to be a developed country and to live in better conditions, and what is more interesting it would help us to speak English since birth… Well in those conditions we should think about studding another language like Portuguese or Nigerian.

"Your opinion counts"




After reading marjorie´s blog and exploring it, I can say that it is very complete and it has every assigment that we had done in classes. It has good comments and very complete ones.
The thing is that the blog is very interesting and it has very interesting topics, but it didn´t call my attention. I believe that visual aids are very important to cautivate everyone´s attention. Maybe Marjorie should put more color in her blog in order to motivate more useres to read it. Although she has beautiful pictures to show and clarify what she wants to say , she need more colors to create different perspectives between topics and maybe personal interests.
I have also visited other blogs and I think that it is very attractive to upload personal stuff and maybe photos to show you personal likes.
Marjorie has a ver good and entertainer way to wirte but maybe she needs to improve the design part.

"One to one"




I think that I would like to have a one to one with many people. It is very hard to think in only one person to have a one to one. Maybe I would like to have a one to one with Josef Fritzl. Even he is not an example of a good person he could answer me many questions that I have about his terrible acts. I can’t imagine a good reason for his acts so I want to know his reasons and his thoughts. First of all I would ask him why he committed those horrible acts. I would ask him if he was in love with his daughter, if he loved her daughter, if he thinks that his acts are something normal and usual as a father and of course I would like to know if he is regretful or even ashamed about his acts. I would like to have a one to one with Fritzl while we visit the scene of the crime. While I would ask him about his acts he would explain me how he committed his crime in the specific place.
