Shark Tank!

Okay, I'm a little weird with this show. Not many people know this show, but I LOVE this show. I have it programmed in my T.V. to record every week and if for some strange reason it doesn't record, I'm mad!

Shark Tank Season 1 premiered on Sunday, August 9, 2009 on ABC. My favorite shark is Mark Cuban, for those of you who don't know him, he owns the Dallas Mavericks team. (Just thought I'd let y'all know!) The other people on this show include Barbara Corcoran and Lori Greiner, who stars on QVC. Also Kevin Harrington who is the maker and owner of Fubu.

Anyways y'all want me to get to the point I bet! Shark Tank is about 5 sharks (All million and billionaire investors) who buy into entrepreneurs ideas. People come on this show with all kinds of crazy and fascinating ideas. One of the most expensive ideas the sharks bought into was worth over 100 million dollars. Sometimes the sharks will buy into their product or company for a part of stake and they'll show a recent update of them now being millionaires all because of the sharks help.

I wish I had a great idea that I could put on Shark Tank, because they give almost everyone a deal who comes through and on the season updates they're ALWAYS making millions!
Anyways if you ever get a chance, just watch it and see all the things people come on there and present, ITS AWESOME!

"Sweat"

Our Comparrison Paper that we just previously did, I compared the story the "Yellow Wallpaper" to a story I had never read before, "Sweat". This short story really interested me. The main woman in the story, Delia Jones is a hard working black woman who does any and everything to make a living. Her husband, Sykes is a lazy cruel man. 3 months after they married, he gave her her first brutal beating (they have been married for 15). He not only beats her, but he also cheats on her with what the neighbors call "a big greasy fat slob". When Delia sees Sykes with his lover, it pleases him to see this. Delia works through the rain, heat, cold, snow, and whatever else comes her way while her husband is unfaithful, abuse, and doesn't help provide to her. Well one day Sykes left a huge poisonous snake in a box (knowing Delia is terrified of them). Delia lets it out one day right before Sykes arrives at home. He goes into the house where it's dark and the snake bites him. He begins to cry for Delia and she is outside to hear the whole thing. She walks inside to see hes been struck in the face and is going to die.
Deaths should be sad, but in this story its the perfect ending.
