The Pink Institution

     The pink institution by Selah Saterstrom, was an interesting read to say the least. At first when I opened the book I did not know what to expect. I continued to read the book, and I definitely did not expect what I did read.

     The way that the first stories are written in the book, are confusing and to me dramatic. I am not sure if they are more important or less important in the way that they are spaced out. Some lines have several words while others have one. Throughout the book the words and phrases start to become sentences and paragraphs and it makes it easier to read.

     The book is weird and full of horrible things about a family with many generations, and how they raised their children in the abuse, and chaos of the family. The family is not your typical family and can be seen as dysfunctional. There are a lot of characters and they get hard to follow, however I found the book to be entertaining, even if it is dark and twisted.

Rumpus.net Blog

    
      Rumpus.net has a lot of interesting articles and stories to read about. It has everything from essays, reviews of books, movies, television shows and comics. This website is based in pop culture, whatever people are into Rumpus has it. The writers express themselves very well on this site. They are able to be who they are and write what they think is important or funny and that will catch a
readers attention. One of the columns I came across was called Funny Women. I chose this column because I thought it was a clever way to show that women are hilarious in what they do. The one story that caught my attention was called About our impending nuptials.

Funny Women #111 About Our Impending Nuptials.

     This article is about a women telling a catering company her plans for her wedding and to see if she can have them cater her wedding. The only issue is everything is completely crazy. the bride has no idea what she wants exactly, there is no venue yet, and she is obviously playing a role of one of those crazy obsessed brides, Bridezillas. She is going into details on how she has three pinterests pages dedicating to just what kind of toe nail polish she is going to wear. I think that it is hilarious at what this columnist has written because it shows the insanity of who a women turns into planning her wedding.
