Friday Night Cinema

Oh man. I woke up this morning with my butt and legs so sore it hurt to get out of bed. Somehow, I managed and changed into gym clothes because Heather and I were going back at it this morning after bring Daniel to school. Except this morning would be arms.

Thankfully, we only spent from 7:30-9:00 in the gym working on arms and abs because afterwards I was merely exhausted. After showering and getting ready, we went to the Marks to both complete some school errands before going to Einstein's and getting some breakfast/lunch. I bought a smoothie and a Hummus Veggie bagel as extra even though I had lunch because I was starving. David also stopped by to hang out with us but at 1:45, I left for class.



In English we started watching Act I of Hamlet and I decided it'd be best to take notes since it'd be hard to remember certain plot points. In Economics, again, we took notes just as Wednesday and we were given a project that'll be due January 20th.

After Econ, Heather and I went to the Foy to get ready for our Vinyasa Yoga class at 5:00 which was calming and relaxing but also intense, especially after being sore from working out this morning. Class was over around 6 and we decided to stop by my house to shower and get ready before going to the movies with Brittany, Nick and David. So the movie (The Forest) was supposed to start at 7:35 and we got to the Great Escape around 7:30... Needless to say it got sold out. So we drove over to the Mall's movie theater and watched it there instead (David, Heather and I). We got popcorn and front seats and watched. It wasn't that bad of a movie but I was expected it to go more in depth about Japan's suicide forest.

The movie was over by 9:45 so they dropped me off at home and because I was so sore and exhausted, I went straight to my bedroom.

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...
