And so it begins... [again]

Well friends today did not exactly go as planned....

First off, Daniel and Heather were running late this morning. Then rather than working out, Heather and I decided to go to the library to get some homework done and I manage to print out a lot of what I needed. I was going to try to finish all my Statistics homework prior to my Media class but there was so much... Regardless, in my Media class we talked a little about the Superbowl (since it was actually an assignment to watch the commercials) and then we began discussing chapter 2. It's only a 55 minute class so it felt like we were out of there before it even began but I was okay with that because then I went to eat lunch with Heather in the UC while I watched Gossip Girl.



In English, we discussed Letters I-IV from Frankenstein and our classwork was to complete a little worksheet about it as well. Unfortunately, it began to FREAKING SNOW.... So my 3:00 class was canceled (Economics), thus Heather and I had to go home... I know, it was sad.



The rest of my day has been spent doing homework (such as Statistics and English), so at least I'm getting things done!!

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...
