The John Wayne Readings

I found the On "Dear John Wayne" reading fairly interesting. It talked about how in the movie John said that everything we see belongs to us (the white man) and it reminded me of that Dr. Seuss story Yertle the Turtle. In the story Yertle is the king turtle and he believes that everything he sees is in his kingdom, so he takes advantage of other turtles to see farther and become more powerful.

"About John Wayne" was interesting because I didn't know John Wayne wasn't originally name John Wayne. I never knew he changed his name when he wanted to become more famous. I never knew he was a family man. I knew he went to USC but not majoring in Pre-law, and I didn't know he dropped out. Overall, he had a very successful life.
