My thoughts (:

Referring back to tuesdays reading.The Rape of the Lock, after reading over it and then having the discussions in class, i found it very interesting how Belinda and everyone else around her was so caught up in "outer beauty." Beauty  makes Belinda so lovely and faultless. One look at her and any fault she might have had was overlooked. She was flawless.
     I dont know if im the only one who does this, but after class was over I began to think back about the story and thoughts and ideas began to race in my mind, how convenient this happens outside of class and the discussions right? ha! :p
     But anyways, i began to relate this story to a story told in the Bible, well not a story, it was real. Belinda reminded me of Samson. Belinda's beauty somewhat portrayed power in a sense. Samson's hair also portrayed his power and strength. Samson was a mighty man, strong and powerful, all because of his hair. After he falls asleep and his hair gets cut off he looses all the "power." He becomes weak. Belinda too starts to look and become weak after loosing her hair. All power or value she had was destroyed and lost and it was all because of something on the outside.
    This could be totallly irrelevant altogether, but i found it kind of interesting relating it to Samson. (:
