I was reflecting on notes we took in class on wednesday about Ella Enchanted and the comment about her being a puppet struck me. I began to think about what it would be like to be a doll, a child's play thing. What would it be like to have every move controlled? Now I know dolls are inamenent objects, but it gave me a new perspective on things (haha in a way). It also reminded me of a show called Sabrina the Teenage Witch in which the main character is turned into her cousins doll. How weird would it be to fall backwards and have your eyes automatically close, or not be able to bend your arms, legs, and fingers. I know I would feel trapped in a "cave" of some sort, a body that allows you to do nothing, experience nothing. Everything would seem so large, so extravagant. The tiniest things becoming huge and more important. I don't know, it was just something I was thinking about today in between studying for tests. I know I would hate to be trapped. I like my independence. I like my freedom. I was listending to the Ella Enchanted soundtrack and found a song that I felt was really inspirational, telling you to just believe in yourself and don't let anyone control your life. I think that's most important. We rule our own lives, no one else. Friday, February 8, 2008
