Post 28: Final

 My favorite blogger this semester was Jnan. This is because his posts had some interesting points, and made me think in different ways. He is a well written person, and a great storyteller. Out of everyone i probably responded to his posts the most. Great job this semester Jnan. Here is a trophy for all your hard work.

Post 27: What I'd read again.

If i could read anything again this semester I would read Dante's inferno again. Why? Because the descriptions of the circles of hell were very fascinating. I thought that it was very creative, but also somewhat realistic. I'm not sure if it is, but if that was a movie I think it would be a very fascinating one. If someone knows whether it is or not please let me know. I also saw that it was a video game if anyone is interested

Post 26: Hamlet again.

I believe hamlet is a modern hero because he doesn't have any extraordinary powers. In ancient greek mythology the hero is usually able to fly, use lightning, or what have you. Hamlet on the other hand is a mortal man who is faced with the same struggles as us today. Besides seeing ghosts of course. Also Hamlet died at the end of his story without it being a huge deal. in Greek mythology however, If some one like Zeus died it would have been a big deal.

Post 25: Hamlet

Hamlet is somewhat like Oedipus. Both of their fathers are dead, though Hamlet didn't kill his.
And they both are overwhelmed with the fact that they did/have to kill someone of importance. The both also go mad by knowing the truth. Hamlet questions his truth whether the ghost of his father is true or not. While Oedipus rips his eyes out once he learns the truth about his actions.

Post 24: Utopia

I think the US is a lot like Utopia but also has some major differences. Such as we have people that cook and some that farm, but the difference is we trade in a monetary form rather than for other goods. Also one of the major differences is that we have cops. In Utopia you were just expected to be good, Which now a days that doesn't really work out. But the Us is still a pretty awesome place to live. I'd say its my Utopia.

Post 23:Trump

By the advice of Machiavelli Trump is a good leader. Machiavelli said its good to be cruel, and trump has done that my bombing Syria, and refusing people of Muslim faith to enter the US. He said it food to have wise advisers. And Trump made sure that only like minded people are in office. Finally Machiavelli said its better to be feared than loved. And Trump has been trying to assert his dominance in any way possible.

Post 22: Poetry about Beauty

In this poem below it talks a lot about love. To me it seems like its a progression of love. I though of it to be as a young couple  who just got together. and they are growing old together. Let me know what you think.

A Thing Of Beauty (Endymion) - Poem by John Keats

Autoplay next poem

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its lovliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing
A flowery band to bind us to the earth,
Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearth
Of noble natures, of the gloomy days,
Of all the unhealthy and o'er-darkn'd ways
Made for our searching: yes, in spite of all,
Some shape of beauty moves away the pall
From our dark spirits. Such the sun, the moon,
Trees old and young, sprouting a shady boon
For simple sheep; and such are daffodils
With the green world they live in; and clear rills
That for themselves a cooling covert make
'Gainst the hot season; the mid-forest brake,
Rich with a sprinkling of fair musk-rose blooms:
And such too is the grandeur of the dooms
We have imagined for the mighty dead;
An endless fountain of immortal drink,
Pouring unto us from the heaven's brink.

Post 21: Poem

Where is the beauty in my life?
Why its in the love from my father and his wife.
With out them what would i do?
Why, my life would be so dark and blue.
