Happy First Of The Month

Sunday: March 1, 2015

Unlike what I was wishing to do, I woke up at 8 A.M. to get ready for church, I put on a pair see-through grey tights, a purple/maroonish maxi skirt, a grey crop top sweater, and grey boots. Mr.George and his sons, Evan and Basil, picked me up by 9 and we arrive at church by 9:30. 

The service literally felt like it took forever primarily because his sermon was an hour long and instead of using short-chants, the chior went full-length today, resulting in it all being done by 12:30... But then we had fellowship hour with delicious hummus, pita bread, chili soup, potatoes, and cupcakes! I helped put away the dishes with Niko. 

Mr.George dropped me off back home at 2 and I decided to take a little cat-nap until 2:30 when my Dad, Mom and Brother came home from my brother's golf practice. To me, it's utterly amazing that they still had golf practice in the rain and snow but aye, they'll do what they gotta do. My mom and I grabbed some lunch before going to the library by 3 so she could print out her midterm for her students that she's giving them tomorrow. Next, we went to the APSU orchestra concert (4 P.M.) that had my friends Austin and Martina playing, as well as my cello teacher, Mrs.Martin. It was actually really good!

The concert was over by 5:30 so my mom and I came home. I ended up working on my Algebra II homework until dinner ( I ate tomato soup because of lent while the rest of my family had grilled cheese sandwiches) and then we all watched The Walking Dead and Talking Dead together. 

I ended my night briefly talking on the phone with Benjamin and then going to sleep.

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...
