Joan Didion leaded plenty from John Wayne. He was her ideal man even though she knew that no one would ever be like John Wayne. He taught her that a man is suppose to be strong no matter what they are facing in life. Even when he was diagnosed with cancer he still was the strong and tough man she knew and loved. Along with this lesson he showed her that a man should be a provider and give you things you may have dreamed of. While learning about a man she also learned about how to be a woman and knew that even though it was ideal she was not cut out to be the damsel in distress. Didion was taught that a woman was underestimated and was not equivalent to a man. They saw woman as weak and delicate but they also were the voice of reason. She so shows that woman are searching for their John Wayne in life until they find him.
When I was a child my favorite movie was Lion King. One thing from that movie that always stuck with me was the phrase "Hakana Matata", which meant no worries. I mean growing up I did not have the most spectacular life but with that saying always in my mind I made the best out of ever situation.

When I am given a writing prompt I tend to put it off as long as possible. Then once the time as wined down I rush and put together something. I know that this is not good but has worked for me so far. I go about things this way because I feel as though I am not a good writer and I do not process my complete thoughts properly. Starting off my essay is the most difficult for me because I never know exactly what to say. But once I get started everything just pretty much flows.
My writing is lazy. When I write it has not purpose other then to just get it done. there is no inspiration behind what i am saying. My papers are sitting at home on their couch watching television in their pj. Then i compare it to a friends and i get a little inspiration to do better . This is when my writing goes into training for the big game.
