Cubism Artist: Elena Guru.
Elena Guru(1877-1913)was a talented painter as well as a poet who worked during the period of transition between Russian Symbolism and Futurism. Her texts were inspired by and devoted to St.Petersburg and was written between 1905-1910. The fact that Guro moved from painting to text may have been inspired by the nature of language and particularly prose. According to Markov, Guro stands as probably the most representative of all Russian impressionists. In here work Guro combines fragments which show objective scenes, her emphasis is placed on her brush and what we are given is not a complete picture but a mosaic of details which can be combined in different ways for what the poet/painter is unveiling for e.g. a picture of the city, its atmosphere and the frame of mind of her personae. Guro also admired Brjusov, Blok and Belyj and she read Verlaine, Verhaeren adn Vide'-Griffin.

My Response to Ling's Paper.
In the essay that Ling wrote he pulled out pieces of what the author said in the article. There were the first four lines of the second paragraph where I did not understand a thing, but I tried really hard to. Throughout the entire article he switched some words around and the Grammar was not the best, however the Punctuation was alright in some cahpters. In other chapters I thought he used too many commas e.g Chapter1, Line 4. I don't believe he summarized all of it, I don't believe he talked much about what the author stated when he talked about people's obsession in a way to on Avatar sites even when they're tired from a long day's work. In terms of his Rhetorical Context I got that he was talking to his friends e.g Chapter 2, Line 6.
I knew his point of view because it was in Chapter 3 and 4. I saw his objections to the article clearly, he also convinced me of his point mainly because of his evidence in Chapter 3, Lines 11 and 12. He definitely provided enough evidence to support his point and it was greatly informative and enough.

Ling: My Editorial Classmate
Ling is originally from China and he's a freshman like me. He likes the 'Lord of the Rings' and listening to Pop music which we also have in common, however he likes listening to country music which is a total shock because he looks like he enjoys listening to Rock n' Roll. From his profile I can also see that he likes soft music, but soft music puts me to sleep and so I try not to listen to it much.

What Is It About Avatar sites that are so Appealing to Us?
I think that MySpace is so addictive because it gives you a feeling of control. You can customize your profile the way you want and no one can tell you what to do. Also there's no need to see the person in real when you can just chat with them online, you can let a certain number of people see your profile or not, you control your friends e.g. what they see, how much they see and how much friends you have. You get the chance to be a boss even if it's just for a couple of minutes or hours. You can make fun of people's pictures and post crazy stuff on their profile, things you might be too shy to say to their face. Also when you get annoyed with somebody you can block them althogether. Everything's at your fingertips.
