Remix: Hamlet's Wardrobe.

This is what I think of Hamlet as a teenager today.

    This is so true! I think he still acts like a teenager in numerous parts of the play, but this is how the conversation would have gone down in modern day. Great job!

Groupthink

Today in class I was able to air some of the questions I had about the poetry readings especially for Emily Dickinson because her poem was from the most different time period. Specifically I asked about.... "An imitiation of a Light That has so little Oil-" *Which referred to a different time period all together when is was common to use oil lamps, whereas today we might refer to electricity as an imitation light.* "That hurt them early - such a lapse Could give them any Balm" *I was very confused by this sentence but I understood the shift from recovery to the cause, how did it transition though. Michelle explained that the transition came from the healing process of this line. Balm is the scab which allows for recovery.* "Death - is but one - and comes but once - And only nails the eyes" *I thought this refered to the dead whose eyes are closed at burial; however, Michelle pointed out that it may hit right between the eyes as a certain cau...

Literary Analysis: The Kite Runner

1. In Afghanistan a wealthy son and servant grew up together as brothers (spoiler: they really were blood brothers).

Baba was Amir's father and the master his old friend Ali and his son Hassan (biologically Baba's). The main point of the story was that Amir deserted Hassan when he was attacked by some older boys, while if the roles were reversed Hassan would have sacrificed his own life for Amir.

Really Amir was a coward and Baba was just as bad because of the lies told all of his life to both of the boys. And after 15 years of living in America Amir travels back to Afganistan to save Hassan's orphaned son. 2. The theme wa...

AP PREP POST 1:SIDDHARTHA

a) These five questions are ones that I have after reading the passage we were assigned, because most of the resources I found were of other students. What can you guess happened to the main character to give him such a feeling of isolation? During the passage he keeps noting that he was once a priest, more accurately a Brahmin, from this information where is the character from and what is his culture like? What is the author conveying to us as we follow the flow of consciousness of Siddhartha? Compare this to the Essays de Montaigne. The repetition of the word ascetic... If you knew what the word meant, gives the reader a better understanding of what part of Siddhartha's character? "At that moment when the world around him melted away, when he stood alone like a star in the heavens  he was overwhelmed by a feeling of icy despair, but he was more firmly himself than ever." From this quote what do we understand abo...
