Dentists Suck

Thursday: February 12, 2015

I woke up at 8:45 and ate pasta for breakfast. Honestly, I was so tired that I don't even know how I managed to get dressed or pack my lunch but it was all done. I had a dentist appointment at 9:30, a filling, which hurt like hell. After the appointment, the entire left side of my mouth was numb. Arriving back home, I took an hour nap and then attempted (poorly) to eat some vegetable beef soup. On my way to History, I stopped by Starbucks to get a Venti Iced Vanilla Latte to sooth my mouth that would probably regain feeling during class. A lecture about the New South and how Industrialization played a role after the Civil War was the basis of class and afterwards I walked to the Starbucks on campus to buy a Grande Vanilla Bean Frappuccino. Next, English class, where we reviewed about the TCAP writing assessment, which I am taking next Tuesday. Then we were given the assignment to write and give a speech next Thursday before taking a test. After class, I went to Ballet and we did bar work the first half of class, then a center combination, as well as corner combination. Next was a "trail Modern" class from my previous RA from Watauga, Kevin, and it was fabulous and I hope the class goes through the program because it was extremely fun.

Hamlet Accountable Talk

1.Did Hamlet really go crazy? How does this connect to his wavering between action and inaction? Why doesn’t Hamlet just kill Claudius? Is he just a man who needs assurance beyond a doubt of Claudius’ guilt? Is he unable to take action because the opportunity never presents itself? Is he simply a coward? What are Hamlet’s true motivations for even pursuing the murder of Claudius? Is it Fear? Revenge? Love? Loyalty/Obligation? I’m not entirely sure if Hamlet was necessarily crazy rather than experiencing a devastating tragedy at such a young age. His reaction to “play crazy” was that of a child’s; playing make-believe is very much a child’s way of dealing with such dramatic events. “To put an antic disposition on, That you, at such times seeing me, never shall, With arms encum’red thus, or this headshake, Or by pronouncing of some doubtful phrase” (lines 172-174) is how he tells Horatio and Marcellus his plan. In a very child-like game, he tells them he will play pretend and they mus...

Chapters 14-16 (Creature's POV) - Entry #4

After Frankenstein abandons the creature, other than our short encounter in the woods when Victor is returning from Geneva, we are not exposed to him again until Victor’s retreat to the mountains. In chapter eleven, the creature opens his tale saying he is not quite sure of the beginning of his being; his initial memories and sensations began with his retreat to the woods after Frankenstein’s apartment. Living off berries and nuts, the creature was confused but learning survival skills along the way, including how to set and maintain a fire. I found this lonely encounter may have been initially good for the creature because it allowed him to figure out his surroundings of this new life he was brought into; however, keeping in mind while he is the great, big creature, he is very much in the dark about life and society itself, and without Victor to help him, he was completely and utterly alone. Agreed - the reflection gives the reader time to know the character rather than meet who Vict...
