So, I was thinking in class on Tuesday with the small discussion bit on horror films. A thought occurred to me and I thought it better to place it in the wiki. Until recently in horror films, everyone who had sex in the film died. Most of the sexual relationships between partners were unmarried teenage couples. In a sense, sex outside of marriage still is viewed as sinful and wrong, and led to death. I thought it was interesting because only now are movies getting away from that stereotype. --Ashley Wilkins | So, I was thinking in class on Tuesday with the small discussion bit on horror films.

| + | I found Cowan's comment on how a marriage is not complete nor is a life without having a child. He says, "A married life without children is an unlovable and unsatisfactory life." Men and women have to rear a child to have any self worth in the world. While I don't necessarily agree with his comment, I do feel that raising a child is a noteworthy and important task. -- Kellye Sorber | ||

| + | I found it very interesting how while many Victorian writers felt that sex was something that shouldn't be talked about and was not something to overly participate in, it was also a good thing. Control over sex was a way to make sure that the worthy humans could reproduce while those considered unworthy could not. Based upon the previous readings I was somewhat surprised to see that Kellogg was part of the eugenics movement. -- Kellye Sorber | ||
