Face turning red

Tear drop, Suddenly Wet

DRJ #4 Hamlets: Act IV/V

DRJ #4 Hamlets: Act IV/V

Initial Reaction: In politics, careers, or family traditions there are always in some cases of people with the urge to make something of them selves. Keeping up with there title to advance or to live on with what there loved one has presented. There is a time when they pass off or retire for the next person to take there place but when things takes a turn to not to be able to that’s when planning comes to make that a reality.

Character Analysis: Fortinbras, Laertes, and Hamlet all have something in common. There are all men who loved there father’s dearly. Fortinbras a Prince of Norway wanted to seek revenge on Denmark to take over the land that Hamlet father fought and won. Hamlet hurt and angry at the fact he never gotten that choice to lead Denmark. Claudius took that title right up underneath him. Laetres looked up to his dad and how his death made him so angry he wanted to kill the very well man who murdered his father. All men who had a motive to gain what they felt should have been there’s.

Theme Analysis: Ambition is a clear theme. All these men were driven in some way to fulfill the shoes of there father. All the anger that possessed the Princes and Laertes about the fighting, pain, and foolery it foiled the story to its end. Hamlet and Fortinbras wanting to lead and take back what they felt was there’s. It has set the tone of deceit and madness. Laertes a respected man who was overthrown with emotions of his sister and father passing really fueled his rage of getting justice for all the pain he experienced. or example when the captain of Norway was sent to by Fortinbras to get lead way through Denmark to "supposedly" attack Poland, Hamlet (Jr.) took it a proud Prince fighting for what he wants. Act IV, Scene IV Hamlets states, “This thing’s to do,” Sith I have cause and will and strength and means To do ’t. Examples gross as earth exhort me.Witness this army of such mass and charge Led by a delicate and tender prince, Whose spirit with divine ambition puffed Makes mouths at the invisible event, Exposing what is mortal and unsure. To all that fortune, death, and danger dare, Even for an eggshell(Hamlet pg.1657).”

DRJ #3: Hamlet, Act III

DRJ #3: Hamlet, Act III

Initial reaction: Ophelia suicide was a turning point of grief and pain. To this I observed a lot about of people who’ve felt life is not important and perform a suicide. Don Cornelius a well knows TV host of the Soul Train show reportedly performed suicide. It became a shock to everyone. The emotions people go through mentally of not feeling love, depression, pain, and stress from there environment. The thought process of configuring is it all worth it to stay in this earth realm. I really feel people get fed up of seeing hurt or the way the life has become and wanted to end it to get peace.

Character Analysis: Hamlet fidgeting ways of processing life and death. Act III, scene 1 “To be, or not to be? That is the question—whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And, by opposing, end them?” Is it worth the while to stay in the current state of mind and deal with people and all that they bring forth to the table or is it easier to kill yourself and have a peace of mind of not dealing with life (Hamlet, pg. 1631)?

Theme Analysis: It’s a Time/ Mortality thing going on. Hamlet taking all this time and making is plan to catch the murderer fall to what he don’t to his father. There is a lot talking, watching, but no action to performing. Hamlet made a whole play to read off his uncle and his mom actions of guilt.  Later in the story Ophelia mindset became boggled with hurt. Ophelia was singing, crying, yelling, and mourning of her father death. It led to her suicide of drowning herself. To me all that time a person stay with there self you never know what they are capable of doing to themselves to feel a sense of comfort. 

DRJ#1: Hamlet, Act 1

DRJ#1: Hamlet, Act 1

Initial reaction:  

                I was in a confused state of mind. I was wandering if I was able to understand all the fast talking and terms that Hamlet and others used. I saw that Ophelia a woman who loved Hamlet prince of Denmark. As in any situation that’s similar to this is basically Hamlet was royalty and high up in the Chain. Ophelia is not allowed to mess with him in any physical way because she is a lower class. She falls in love with him and he also felt a strong love for her because of the love letters. However, Ophelia father and brother did not want her around him. They felt that he was a liar and that whatever feeling he had or spoken was a lie. Polonius which is her father and Laertes who’s her brother tries to protect her and hopes that she is not naive to Hamlet. I related to a little to this based on if my father felt any kind a way by any boy or man who he felt wasn’t good enough, I could not talk to them. My father is an over protective and sometimes on a consistent basis he’s always keeping tabs on me to make sure that I am not giving those guys the time and day.

Character Analysis:

                Polonius was a trusted aid to the King and royal family. He’s always been there to help and guide them to what business they had to address. He was a father and a very proud man who believed in honor and loyalty. The love for his daughter was a typical situation. He always wanted the best for his daughter. I found that even though he was a father and he was overprotective he did too much in asking his daughter to give back the love letters that Hamlet wrote. He felt like Hamlet was unstable and that he needed major help. He’s an antagonist character but he did cause tension between his daughter and Hamlet. Hamlet felt portrayed by Ophelia. On the other hand she was doing what her father had asked her. Hamlet could not stand Polonius and Polonius was a well trusted friend to the King Claudius and he would do any thing to satisfy him. Polonius was used as a foil to shine light on how Hamlet was reacting to his father’s death

Theme Analysis:

                Family and love was a clear notice with Polonius. He loved his son and daughter and would say or guide to whatever they duty is to be. He’s been around for so long the royalty family. He knows how to manipulate and inform Claudius about his nephew. The King listened to Polonius in Act 1 and has shared his love for his daughter Ophelia and his son. There was some symbolism the love letters that represent Hamlets love for his daughter and imagery of the emotions and love he shows her by the kiss and strong hug when Hamlet had a moment when he felt portrayed.

DRJ#2/ Hamlet, Act 2

Initial reaction:

Two men named Rosencrantz and Guildenstern came to Denmark to see Hamlet. Hamlet was stoked to see arrive and they was very cheerful to see him. Child hood friends who were close and I can tell that they really were looking out for Hamlet best interest.

Character Analysis: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern were a very smart to Hamlet. They found out that Hamlet father passed and wanted to be there for him. Yet, they were sent there to check on Hamlet because of his behavior. The loud outbursts and actions he was portraying around the royal family. Hamlet was a smart man and he knew that his friends came to also keep an eye on him.

Theme Analysis: The theme had friendship and a little deceit. Although, Hamlet friends followed him around and was a support system to his plan at the end of the say there original motive wasn’t loyal. Hamlet say “Why, any thing, but to the purpose. You were sent for; and there is a kind confession in your looks which your modesties have not craft enough to colour: I know the good king and queen have sent for you (HAMLET1622).” These two friends admitted why they really came after and felt bad but wanted to fix the situation. Hamlets friends decide to flip the original plan to watch over him and assisted his marvelous plan to expose the killing of his father.

Hello Mates Urgent assistance

ROSELILY: EXTRA CREDIT

The groom is excited to marry his new wife. He's wanting to provide and accept the New responsibilities of being a family with his new wife. He's giving her hope that she will be happy and well rested. Although, hoping that the family will accept that he's not a Christian man. He does not believe in the same beliefs of which his wife and her family do. Still wanting to work it out and make a new life with her even though beliefs may be an issue in the future.

Thesis #2 Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” is the a novel that explores ideas of struggle to find oneself during the time of the 1990’s as well of today.

Chopin novel gave me a sense of traditional ways of marriage and lifestyle. Mrs. Mallard was a woman who lived our life through marriage. She knew her duties as a wife and had to follow her husbands lead in the 1900’s. She had no voice and no sense of life without her husband being involved. This is how it was in the society where she lived. When she got the news that her husband was dead she went through a session of mourning. She loved him and felt abandoned instantly. However, when she came to and realized that’s she free. Imagery of the birds singing and the realization that she can do whatever she wants. There’s no one who can hold her sense of being. She starts develop herself and it shaped her to symbolized that its not the end but her beginning.

SSRJ #2 Colette "The Hand"

My initial response is wow! She’s been married three times??? I started forming questions on what this short story can be about. However, she seemed shallow it was some symbolism in the story. "The Hand" it was a lot of comparison to animal features. Her words to me were mean. "It's so big! It really is bigger than my whole head." she has given so much attention to his physical appearance instead of the love he may of had for her.

Literary Element/Thematic Analysis: As I stated before I saw a lot of symbolism to the hand in the story. The comparison it to animal features and how it was bigger than her whole body. She was disgusted to know what she was married to. As she stated "And I've kissed that hand... How horrible! Haven’t I ever looked at it?" The whole time they were in the bed together just sleeping. In this story she just was caught up in the moment and not focusing on there relationships but just his beauty. "To meet a handsome, blond young man, recently widowed good at tennis and rowing, to marry him a month later."

Question: Was the husband dead the whole time? He wasn't doing anything through out the whole story.

SSRJ1: Faulkners' "A Rose for Emily"

My personal reaction to Faulkners' "Rose for Emily" is that emily was diconnected from the town. Her father locked her out of the town because of his too good for anyone ways. She really couldnt be herself or even experience life due to is controlling ways. I also felt the town was very nosy. There were to caught up of wanting to know what was going on in there home. I understand the curiosity but they took it a little far but intruding in there space. There were a lot of sterotypes in it in that connect us to this day. Looks can be very deceiving and I feel the town had some type of sense to knowing how the deaths took place but covered it up because of her appearance.

Literary element/thematic analysis: Faulkner uses irony in the story. The father kept her so hidden from others all she knew was her father. When she decided to give her heart to Homer Barons he misused it and it took her to a place that she never wanted to feel again.

Question: Do you feel love can become lethal today?
