He's Just Doing it Because He Can- My Response to Dr. Futterman

           My favorite blog, is Annie Futterman's "Evenings With Dr. Futterman". What I get from the title of her blog, is a therapy session. This is exactly what her blog gives me. Her use of vocabulary is astounding. Her discussion on pop-culture and art and actors blows my mind. Her blog is a therapy session from all the other blog out there. Annie Futterman writes with something I like to call Soul.
          She does not merely read a book and write. She analyzes . She throws her self into the post. The post I wanted to talk about was her post "I Fought the Law and the Law Won", and it is about a book called "A Fraction of the Whole". Annie is very good at reading these captivating books that are far more complex then I could ever have the patients for. However I did give this book a try and really did enjoy the first 5 pages.
         She explores the reason behind getting into trouble. The psychological reasons behind authority and challenging it. However, as always, she spins it by zoning in on this characters specific reasons. This just helps to prove my case that she truly cares for her books, art, and characters.
          She makes this really interesting point, (which is the title of this blog post), about why he breaks the law. I think he finds some solitude in knowing he was better then this seemingly all powerful force (the law). He is basking in the sheer fact that he can.
         Annie has this way of talking about culture as if its the simplest concept, but at the same time, she understands what makes culture, culture. In this post she marks society culture in a dark way. The passion or desire to break it. To punish it.
        That my friends, is what a true blogger should be trying to encase, trying to write about. By choosing these subjects, she sets herself up to have a wonderful blog.
