True Grit

I find the True Grit really hit the mark when it comes to American greed and instinct. It addresses the greed of man when it focuses on Chaney, the outlaw who killed Mattie's father along with other illegal actions. He's a man who drinks and spends his money on what he wants at the moment, things that don't often matter. When he and Mattie's father, Frank, are at an impasse, he simply murders him and takes anything valuable off the body before fleeing. He lives well up to the stereotype of an American outlaw, down to the point. In the end even when he's been beaten and hurt, instead of sucking up his pride he instead laughs at Mattie's misfortune and his own victory of taking out Lebouf. Of course it's short lived when Rooster takes him out.  Rooster is sort of between greed and values. He cares about Mattie in a way, enough to humor her endevours of joining their manhunt enough to believe she earned to join them. Of course he's still a drunk, he draws

Prologue of Bree

I admit it's a shame I don't find the time anymore to read, but it used to be my favorite passtime. These days I still read, mostly when someone else suggest a book to me every now and then or I have a reading for a class. It's by no means boring to me, I love to read. I espeically love long series, where you're along for this thought out adventure. In the past few years I've read The Hobbit, Harry Potter for the 9th time I think, and right now I'm starting Game of Thrones. So of course it's fair to say my favorite genre is fantasy but graphic novels are also a favorite.
