Dimanche Gras

Sunday: February 15, 2015

Today I woke up at about 9 A.M. to get dressed and go down stairs to wake up my brother and dad. We were going to the Lutheran Church my mom works at for a special service, Dimanche Gras. The service itself was very silly and fun and afterwards we all enjoyed a very nice meal. I must admit I was rather cranky and tired with a headache, so I did act very grouchy but after some good food I was feeling much better. I then went to Walmart with my dad to pick up some makeup I had been wanting (liquid eyeliner, foundation, and brow gel). We came home and all sort of just relaxed in separate rooms. In fact, I began watching a brilliant show, Downton Abbey. For dinner, my family and I ate chicken with fries while sitting on the couch watching The Walking Dead. To any fellow watchers, I must say this season is going rather slow and seems to be having a more "artistic-spin" if you will.

Side Note: It also happens to be my parents 18th anniversary together today!
But we already celebrated all the events for the month yesterday, combining my mom's birthday, valentines day and their anniversary. :)

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...
