The Bourne Redemption


    
Dear Reader,

            He doesn’t know who he is. He doesn’t know what to do. He doesn’t know what he has done or where to go. All he knows is people want him dead and are willing to pay big to do it. All he is trying to do is to redeem himself. That is the theme in The Bourne Identity. Redemption is that key to being able to live the rest of his life in peace. Throughout the entire story Jason Bourne ran through Europe trying to figure out who he was. On his travels he finds that he must redeem himself in order to survive. He tries showing that he is not the person he used to be and that he has changed. In order to do this he must fight his way through secret government agencies until he finally finds out who he truly is……… a cold blooded killer.
            I chose redemption as my theme for this multi genre project because it was the main theme over all in the book. In The Bourne Identity he has to redeem himself from his forgotten past. It is expressed through the entire story as you are walked through his trials and tribulations. He meets many people on his quest to find himself and each person knows who he is and what he is capable of doing. In the situation they know him; they either attack him or stay away. He soon finds out that the more he finds out the closer he gets to getting himself killed. This is The Bourne Identity.

Sincerely: Drew McDougle


"Redemption is something you have to fight for in a very personal, down-dirty way. Some of our characters lose that, some stray from that, and some regain it."
Joss Whedon

Make Up Blog

so i haven't really written in a while and i know i haven't done like 2 or 3 blogs so i'm going to make them up now. so i'm kinda enjoying this multi genre project. first of all i finally finished a book that was longer than 200 pages. and secondly it was cool to now go and make different little poems and what not based on the theme of our book. its a lot more fun than reading a book and them writing a report on it. but to other things now. i was watching the finals for the ncaa wrestling tournament and i couldn't believe it. in the 141 pound finals match, the dude from michigan won but thats not the amazing thing. he actually rolled his ankle and hurt it the same exact way i hurt my ankle at districts. he said he heard a pop and then he couldn't put any weight on it what so ever. but the wrestling season is officially over after the finals and now everyone gets to get ready for next season! well the end of the quarter is coming up and i really hope that i got a 3.5 again. that's my goal and i have 3 b's and 4 a's so it's going to be close. i've got a 3.8 and a 3.5 for the first semester. oh and i also got voted for captain of the wrestling team next year as well as getting MVP for the 2010-2011 season. that's now my second MVP of my high school career and i have a new goal. my new goal is to go for four MVP's in my four years of high school. I'm going to miss our seniors this year but i have a feeling i'm going to enjoy next season. Well i'm going to finish this blog now. i have to write another tomorrow so i'll be back. CYA!
