Hamlet 2nd Soliloquy Per. 1

Hamlets feelings can best be described as curious and suspicious after Hamlet experience's the sight of his late father's, ghost. He suspects that "all is not well" and that "foul deeds will rise". Hamlet is very determined to find out why his father's ghost has shown.

Fact or Fiction

I believe that i see no harm in bending the truth just a tad to make a memoir more interesting. As long as it isn't to farfetched.

Toby does not lie about who he as much as to truly harm the line of history. He got to his events in life and may have bent them slightly. But in the end it made up a great read. Just as i have previously said.

It doesn't really matter if he bends the truth or not. It harms no one, and it ended up being a great book. One of the few i would have liked to read on my own if not in class.

This Boys Life

I partially agree with the 2 quotes. This is because, at times there is nothing to do once you've assumed a pose, and corruption is not all of life, although it is part of it.

People in high school assume poses through other people. Usually whomever is more popular establishes there own pose. They do things like knowing many people, doing crazy things, or being attractive gets you there.

Corruption is a part of life because without bad there can be no good. If there is none of that then, there is no foundation for which to establish ones place on moral grounds. There would be no standard of what is right or wrong. Thus a person would not have much of a conscious.

Mo Money

The fastest ways to make money in my opinion are , ironically illegal, prostitution, drugs, arms dealers, etc., but there is the stock market.

The best way to make money would have to be something that is legal. Because that way you feel good about it.

Old money is usually people who have money but are born into it such as the Kennedy's. New money is where somebody gets rich from the ground up, such as Andrew Carnegie.

Ben Stein Vs. Richard Dawkins

I don't believe either wins the debate

They both use Logical fallacies but richard uses more logic than anything

Intelligent design

Intelligent design is 2 different scientific hypothesis. One being that you need a intelligent design to create every single thing we have ever known; and the other is that there is none.

An argument against evolution is that it is portrayed as a proven fact, when in fact it is not.

At Liberty University one could study the origins of the universe, the earth, life, and its species. This study derives from the knowledge from religion, science, philosophy and history.

Inherit The Wind

Fallacies of inherit the wind would have to be the fact that these people are not presenting their cases in a logical way. They attack the peoples feelings and emotions instead of sticking to the facts like they should do.

Ad hominem- An argument arising from the appeal to emotions and not reason or logic.

False Causality- ?

Red Herring- Some clue or action that is intended to be misleading and/or distracting

Overgeneralization- Drawing a conclusion that is not proven by fact or reason

Bandwagon effect- an event or action that catches on or becomes popular

Decisions Decisions

I don't recall making any decisions that went against my parents or religion or society, at this time. Although i have done things that do go against my parents. For example, i sneak out when I am grounded and things like what normal teenagers do.

Making the decision wasn't so tough. As it is usually something i really want to do.

The things i do aren't bad things they are just against my parents will. =P

Norman Mailer

His View on woman writers is not very good as he sees them as not very good writers. He views them as incapable of making a good book.

He believes that women are weak and unable to do much of anything. He believes that only men can make a good book. Makes it seem that woman in literature are good for nothing.

I do not agree with all of his ideas. As they are narrow minded and selfish. however, he is entitled to his own opinion. he is a very respectable man with his own ideas.

The Hours Questions

1.Describe the three female characters in great detail? What do they have in common?

How do they differ? How does their era influence who they are?

Sussex, England 1941. She believes she's going crazy, hears voices. the narrator is married. And the whole time she is writing a letter. She thinks her husband is better off without her. Named virginia Wolfe. She wrote the story.

Los angeles, America 1951. She is Reading the Story. Laura Mcgrath/ Brown. Suicidal, and pregnant. She is married as well. She makes a plan to leave her family when her second child was born. She does and moves to canada and becomes a librarian. In the end she meets clarissa when richard dies. She's outlived all of her children.

Richmond england 1923. She is writing the story. Virginia Wolfe. Married Lennard. She kills herself when she moves back to England.

New York City, 2001. She is the story. Clarissa Delaway. More modern version of it. Richard, her last lover, has aids. He is very sick and has hallucinations. She has found a new lover, a woman named Sally. but she still loves Richard. Richard was the son of the woman reading the book, laura. He kills himself, jumps out of the window, while laura watches. She is eventually enlightened at the end, and is happy.

They all are emotionally distressed. And are confused.

Virginia is more relaxed as where clarrisa is ecstatic and laura is just sad.

There eras didn't really influence much other than there surroundings and how the story plays out.

2. Compare/Contrast these female characters with the female characters from the

literature weʼve read. They are all emotionally stressed. As well as mentally. One thing that i noticed was that richard was less controlling than the other men that we've read about, and the only one that is mentally ill and kills himself. Every woman we've read about feels trapped they don't really love husbands or men. Many were confused as well.

The Yellow Wallpaper

The narrator of the story went crazy. It was ironic because she was there to get better in the first place.

Her husband makes her go into a room for her "health". She believes a room with bared windows was once for children. The wallpaper bothers her so incredibly much. The smell, the color, the lack of pattern, everything. She sees a woman in the wallpaper. She believes that woman comes to life and tries to escape from the wallpaper. She locks herself in the room at the end to get in and help her get out. She's creeping around. She believes she was in the wallpaper the whole time and got out in the end. She tears the room to shreds.

Story Of An Hour

They relate in which the author or narrator portrays women as fragile and or easily influenced.

The make woman want independence, and they eventually get it. With a price or, with some twist at the end. They view men as restrictions and as a higher power that women should learn to stride free from.
