Happy Endings.

Mr Johnson, i left my assignment book at school where i wrote down the blogging assignment, and you dont have it on your page, and no one has done it yet... so im clueless as to the second question we had to disguss. i do remember the first so i will answer that, and then finish the rest tomorrow.
I think the first question was pretty simple and just asked why the last section is a metafiction, and the answer is that becuase in the mist of telling the story, the writer addresses the story being written about as part of the story.....
i will finish this later when i know the second part of this assignment.

Jack Sparrow = <3

Jack Sparrow is a postmodern pirate because... he seems to go throung his life without a care, he doesnt live with any fears becuase he know, or thinks at least that is is his fate. So whatever happens to him, is what was suppose to happen. As long as what he is doing is in some way benifiting him, he will do whatever. He doesnt plan, yet has one goal. And knows that eventually he'll get what he wants. He just has to let time play its thing until eventually he is in favor of his own fate. He's life is chaotic, and he likes that. And so do we as an audience, being a postmodern audience. We never know what his next step is, and we dont ever know what the right next step is. We experience his adventure in a different way.

I LOVE CAP. JACK SPARROW!

and Orlando bloom is pretty amazing too.

Ants BLog

Its friday night, im dead tired and have no motovation to write this out... o well. Well my "Ants" experience happened right after this assignment was given. I like to think that im a pretty outgoing person when im put in situations like this, so i really didnt have any fears or issues with the assignment. So it went a little like this, wednesday after class...durring lunch i went to go put gas in my car becuase i woulndt have time after school to go to that, so i went down the hill to costo, cause thats the cheep gas, and when i get gas there i get to use moms credit card, nort my own hard earned cash. i get there, and its like i was the only car there, i get out pump my gass and stand there waiting for the tank to get full. This nice young man, who worked there came up to me...which in a way freaked my out, and my natural instinct as he began to talk to me was to go sit in my car and avoid him. Shamefully, i will admit that is just what i did. As he came over he saidhows it going, him...seeing my unwillingness to chat just said have a great day, and walked away. Immediatly following this, i was like CRUD, perfect moment to not be an ant... but i blew it. So i was kind of upset. I went back up the big hill, and decided to go to safeway becuase i was craving a SOBE drink, and i was searching to redeam myself for being a complete loser. I got my drink, got in line and bang...then it happened. The girl infront of me in line was getting a bagel, her credit card wasnt working, and it was like 57 cents, so as she was screabling to count change in her oversized purse i said just add my drink to that and i'll pay for it. She looked up at me, and said thank you, told me her name was rebecca and that she was already late for work after break, she said "i'll get ya next time" and ran out the door. That was it.

"go to it"

I think his words have an approving tone, i honestly dont think he cares enough about them really to care weather or not they die. He would have spent more time explaining if he didnt approve. He apporoves, becuase they get the death they deserve....a pointless, stupid, meaningless way of dieing...for two pointless, stupid, meaningless chatacters.

T.S. Elliot is Amazing.

First off, i would like to say that i really like this poem. Normally, im not a poetry kind of person, but this isnt "boring" or "dull" or "idealistic" or "overdramatic" like most of the poetry i come across. We are suppose to blog about how the structure of this poem furthers the meaning or what we think it means. And quite frankly i dont really know how the structure fits in, but im gunna type and think at the same time..which could mean some messed up logic. Cause when i think its not always sequencial. o well.

i think that this is about the life of someone who has always been on the "outside", a wall flower, an observer. what ever you call them. This person, regrets this life he has lived becuase he sences no purpose in that life. its like an inferiority complex, he states that he will never be a "main character with a purpose" (hamlet), and he is regretful of that, because i believe he desires that. But is two concerned with what other people precieve him as. His life has been ruitine. But the structure of this Poem offers no ruitine, no structure. Life doesnt have a formula to follow, you gotta live and take each moment and experience as it comes. Because one day you could be up, and one day down. There is no "one soultion" fits all. Rather is experinceing things, things like love that change a person. The person in this poem is isolated and incapable of decisive action, he's afraid to life. Living is chaotic, deal with it. This mans fear doesnt let him live, he wants a formula...to find a way to be mad to live, but his life has passed him by, and he is nothing, his life was nothing. and now he "drowns "in the memories of his past, what it could have been, and where it has taken him. THis poem is also his thoughts... thoughts are random, sparatic. no "right or wrong" to a thought... so that could have something to do with the stanza structure. i dont know...just an observation

Answer to Question.

I didnt know if we were suppose to answer their question as a commnet, or on our own blog... whatever.
Briannas Question was why didn't Hamlet just kill his uncle?
Well, his uncle was praying, so if hamlet would have killed him just then, according to the catholic view, he would go to heaven becuase he was confessing his sin. Hamlet would rather kill his uncle when he is sinning that way he would go to hell like he deserves.
and i think thats pretty much it.

Worldview Conflict

Hamlet is tweeking out because he is expected to fill big shoes. This conflict in worldview is in regard to his future kingdom. Not only is he disgusted by his family issues, which are completely twisted... but the entire state of Denmark is on country full of drunks. He is expected to be the next king, but his "insanity" has made everyone around him question that ability. This has to do with his fathers unexpected murder, his mothers overhastey marriage, and his uncle taking the crown. I would be pretty upset too.

Hamlet sees the world differently then his parents, he is repulsed by the state of the country that he was to take and quite frankly has every reason to be upset, to "go mad", whatever you call it.
