First off, I would just like to make it clear, that my plan was originally to do Fiddler on the Roof.  I am doing this blog in the 30 minute space that I have between now and when I leave for North Carolina.  I will try to do my best, but keep in mind, I was prepared to have some very good connections to Fiddler, but was ruthlessly cut down by Adam. (Not intentionally of course, I know you though of Fiddler on your own Adam.)

Well, it just so happens that my mother had a very peculiar show on the other night.  That show was called “Desperate Housewives.”  Maybe some of you are familiar with the show, but I’m not.  After watching 10 minutes of it or so, I began to see simularities between the actions between the Women (and men) on Wisteria Lane (I had to look that up on Wiki) and the actions of Eustacia and Damon.  Keep in mind, I do not know to much about that show, nor do I want to.  It didn’t seem that good from what I watched of it.  But the cheating/lying/dishonest behavior of the people on the show did make me think of Lord of the Flies.

Another connection, albeit a rather weak one, is the book to the movie.  I got the movie from the Anville free library in hopes that it would clear up some of the questions that I had about the book.  I laughed when watching it, because it quickly moved through some of the most painstakingly descriptive points of the book.  For example, the first 10 pages of the book describe the Heath and the bon fire that is currently taking place.  The movie shows a 5 second clip of the Heat, then shoots straight to the bon fire.  Some other things weren’t exactly accurate either, like when Diggory was spying on Eustacia and Damon.  The book also painstakingly describes him hiding under a bush and slowly crawling towards the couple.  The movie shows a quick outburst  between Eustacia and Damon, then it quickly flicks to a nearby tree where Diggory is crouched.

Well, I hope this will suffice. My question is why do you think Clym is so enticed by Eustaica?  He can clearly see that she is not content on the Heath, and does not entirely love him.  Why does he continue to love her?

To Mr. Shank:  I was really low in the connection area due to the unwitting theft of Fiddler by Adam.

To Adam Lough:  I know you really didn’t mean to.
