Poem

Never has criticism been an obstacle, Free to fully express you're womanhood Clothing and makeup are just parts of you Why else are you thy Mercurito. In the site of battle you stand Protecting the prince from evil hands, You show no fear time in time Even though your life's not worth a dime. Such a teacher you are to thy student Love is a figure of chaos one seeks, Just as dreamers often lie Time is limited so get ready to dine. Forever your life is commendable Giving the chance of an ignorant one to live, Such lessons must be learned Even under the event of death of many or few.

Homework

Nick is honestly an odd character that you don't really understand till later on in the chapters. I honestly thought that he had feelings for Daisy in the beginning of the scenes. He's a beta male and doesn't seem to take charge when it comes to talking to Tom or Gatsby. In a way he seems indecisive towards his actions and when it comes down to talking to Gatsby. I don't know whether Nick is trying to find a significant other. It made things seem as if Nick was trying to be with Jordan, but that didn't seem like it was going to happen.

When I interact with other people, I’m always happy and outgoing. The reactions that I get from them are quite the same, open and not afraid or shy to answer back. Sentences: Life is much more successfully looked at from a single window.

The murmur trembled on the verge of coherence, sank down, mounted excitedly, and then ceased all together.

The wind had blown off, leaving a loud bright now with wings beating in the trees and a persistent organ sound as the full bellow of the earth blew the frogs full of life.

Homework

Based on the reading, the narrator has been taught by his father in a particular way that kind of leaves himself to reserve all judgements, which brings upon curiosity. Also elaborating on the Gatsby, "the man who give name to this book". The narrator had traveled from the west to the east in desire to seek a better life after the war. Such agreements between the father and himself allowed him to live in a house with rent at eighty dollars in between two large building, a sight of the water, and being in the proximity of millionaires. He even speaks of his friend Tom, whose unbelievable rich, would drift on seeking for that turbulence of some irrecoverable football game. The style of writing the author imposes throughout the few pages suggest that the use of imagery, metaphor, and setting are in place. In order to bring life to the story or instant background of the city to us, the reader, making us feel as if we are there.

HOMEWORK

I intend to show that gender role is implicitly presented by Shakespeare and has a significant effect on the various incidents/conflicts within Romeo and Juliet.

Questions

1) What role does masculinity play towards the various fighting scenes? 2) How does the role of gender fluctuate throughout the play? 3) How does the time period of the play affect gender and sex? 4) What does gender have to do with the setting of the tragedy?

Of the three songs I've chosen from the Romeo and Juliet soundtrack, I liked Crush, Everybody's Free, and Angel. The ties it has towards the movie, especially towards specific scenes. 'Crush' was emphasizing as in you would do anything for her or him, going through such trouble to be with the person they find sparkles in. In Everybody's Free, it's refers to the scene with Romeo and Juliet getting married secretly at the church. As for 'Angel' it's reference is towards Juliet during house party with her in the wings and looking like an angel, being the innocent type, being a Virgin.

Thy love is a frightening goal From which comes justice unwillingly Such feelings impair our souls Vengeance follows through surprisingly Interchangeable like the weather Clear like the glass of a window The sunny sky's so quickly become clouded Tainted like a painted canvas Such seasons pass by before we get The chance to capture majestic moments Don't let it dry you out over the years Love can be found in many ways The only limitations are the ones you set yourself If justice comes Vengeance, so be it Shall not be terrified by an occurrence Proud like a knight leap to it Yet so it seems a virtue on your side It'll come with the never ending sunlight awaiting such catastrophic events.

The tightly composed structure that absorbs us in, through the idea of how confined you are brings along the realism of being in a prison. Despite having the opportunity to see the outside world through the clear glass, freedom as most people would call it is what they may seek!

Modern Tragedy

I honestly agree with the four chapters of this book. Tragedy gets so mistakenly thought of events where someone gets killed that they don't understand how tragedy could be of a financial breakdown. The Great Depression is a great example of a tragic event, where the stock market had crashed. From the crash, came many other negative impacts that affect society; there was an increase in unemployment, crime, and society distress. People do see their own revolutions as an achievement based on what they have got out of it, but despite that, how come the deaths of many individuals aren't mentioned that would make such a revolution seem tragic? Tragedy is usually reflected through what traditions has been set in the past which makes us think based on that of what is tragic. Many plays in Greeks and Elizabethans have shown such meanings on tragedy; tradition isn't a reflection of the past but an interpretation of it.

Homework #1

Interpretation plays a significant role, not only in art, but in the actions and observations that take place everyday. Art is form of expression individuals present to others on a canvas. Most people don’t usually see the reason for why such a piece of art was painted or made. “The interpreter, without actually erasing it or rewriting the text, is altering it... claims to be making it intelligible, by disclosing its true meaning” on par supports my thought on how interpretation is different for everyone and that an arts true meaning is diminishing. I feel like this essay reflects our class in the subject that we are discussing about, tragedy. Tragic plays such as Romeo and Juliet exemplify the different views people have based on the language in that era and how the actions of those characters may seem questionable. I think it matters whether artist intend, or doesn't intend, for their works to be interpreted because not everyone realizes how unconsciously you start to interpret something you see in front of you. If there was no real purpose for the art to be formed, than why go through so much trouble for people to observe it?
