BEOWULF? MORE LIKE BAE-O-WULF (also names and all sorts)

        My name, the combination of Ben and Fisk (or Bmt Fisc if you are Beowulf), are two of my favourite assets. Due to the short syllable count in my name and the common assonatic (assonantic?) (I have just received word that the correct term is "assonant") properties it allows me to use my name in a variety of nicknames, puns and rhymes. This works out brilliantly for me as i loveto incorporate puns and rhymes into my everyday performance. (You might say i like to rhyme all the time as it is not a crime, but not for financial aid in the form of a dime.)
       While I enjoy having my name for the literary qualities, I do not let my name define me (or at least i attempt to) My father is always referring to the "heritage of the Fisk family" and all the storys about lion killing Fisks, barbaric pillage-y Norse Fisks,  and things of that nature. While they are quite interesting storys, they are not who I am, nor will they define my actions. (unless I have to write a blog post about them)
      As far as if I get married (IF). If the woman (Or man, you never know) I marry has a more interesting, and useful name than mine, I may consider changing to theirs.


      On the idea of the dual ordeal, I think about it almost everyday. I live life everyday as Ben Fisk (or whatever you feel like calling me) and struggle with my everyday struggles such as procrastination, School work, The Jeep, Time management, whether my hair is looking good that day, whether I look decent that day, am i narcissistic or not?  (The list goes on). But, as I lead the singular life as Ben Fisk, I am a part of another timeline. The human race as a whole. Dire environmental problems, and how the future of the earth will play out, concerns any loyal BBC reader every single day. I have no personal control of these matters, but I certainly contribute to and am actively involved in the cause and effect.

At first, all we see is two stuffed rabbit creatures lying on the floor sorrounded by filth, rubbish and discarded things. Probably an image from an old torn down house or something. They are also sorrounded by a hard brick wall.

Upon closer, metaphorical, connotative examination. We notice that these are two soft, loveable creatures lying together in a rough environment. In a world where they are surrounded by  things hard and sharp, that could easily tear the soft and permeable exterior of our creatures. At least they have each other. We also notice that the world around them is rather grey, and they are a bright-ish white, a true sign of individuality. Upon further metaphorical examination, we learn that both these cast out creatures have been much-loved in the past, and received constant love and attention. Now, however, in this new world, they are lonely and afraid.

Othering in the Wing Young Huie photo is shown through colour, and visual texture. While in the  Handmaids Tale it is shown through ideological differences.
