Hamlet Comparison

So, the monday I was unable to come to class, I think hurt me a little bit.  I did not have a draft Wednesday... I did not even know till recently, what I should write about. 

I think I know what to do now.... so I have a little peace....... I am going to compare and contrast the two Hamlet films we have seen in class.

I will be working like mad to come up with at draft....

Monday....

Hey English 113 class... =)

I was not in class the day spring break came to an end. My brother had his sweet baby girl.... Kayleigh!!! She is 9 pounds, 2 ounces.....and 22 inches.

I tried to open the "audacity" file Ms Frailly sent to me..but unfortunately it didn't like me =( so I will have to wait until tomorrow to receive my paper grade for our last assignment...which is awesome!

I think I might now what to write my final paper on regarding the Hamlet movies, I have already watched both the  Gibson and Kenneth movies...but I have searched EVERYWHERE! for the other Hamlet movies listed....but Monroe, does not seem to like  William Shakespeare =(

so.... I will do what I've gotta do.......

Hamlet__FINISHED!!!!!!! YAY Tears of joy =)

FINALLY!!! I am finished with HAMLET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAN YOU BELIEV IT????

I had a really fun time working on this project...but It was truly about time that we turned them in! So, this is an expression of joy not anxiety. 

I think analyzing a story such as Hamlet is exhilarating! But oh my goodness is it dramatic.
If life was that mad everyday all the time.... I have no idea how insane I would become, myself.

I do not believe that Ophelia "accidently" died... there is no way... she definitely commited suicide..I mean look back with me when she stole the key to her padded cell from the guard.  She knew beyond a shadow of a doubt what she had done..she was going to get out..her dress did not suddenly weigh her down and kill her...that makes no sense! The weight of our clothes is an unlikely cause of death for any person.. but then again..this is probably why it is a widely debated issue in Hamelt.

Had fun! Ready for spring break! And the next project ;)

My Final Paper....Major workshopping!

It is about time to be wrapping this project up! and I am just starting to understand my own thoughts!!! I am learning more about myself from this paper.... I seem to find myself putting myself in the situations Hamlet found himself in and the outcomes are pretty different!

I believe I have learned a little more about writing as a whole, this semester... Which has boosted my confidence in writing more! I am not saying I cannot write...I made an A in English last semester! but I think there is always so much more to learn =)

Method behind my madness! =)

I know we are finished with our poetry papers..but I cant help but keep thinking about poems... It was so much fun to write about a poem!! 

I have been writing poetry since the age of 10 and its so soothing to my soul when I can get my pent up feelings onto a piece of paper! Writing my feelings out never started out as poetry..instead it was just a mess of words and brief sentences. but, as I have become more educated and aware, I have developed a method for my madness =) I call it poetry =)

I am really grateful for the opportunity to be able to learn..more than that, l am grateful for the well equipped teachers who are willing to teach me! I am really thankful! I was just thinking the other day, how many people have no opportunity in there lifetime to be educated, I know books and learning are not everything..GOD is. but I do believe God would want us to expand and use the brain he has given to us. So, THANK YOU!! +)
So, Monday at school in English class I was so happy! When we were told to get into different groups and "Work-shop" our papers, Liz Fulp looked over my paper! And I got so much out of that! So, thank you Liz  =)

Small things like using presents tense, being careful about my word choice..and never start your paper out with a question because it leads the reader in a wrong direction..were some of the things I learned =)

I still think Hamlet did things the wrong way..I mean who would intentionally act mad to seek revenge? It does not make sense..and obviously did not work because the sonnet turned out to be a tragedy.

Use of the word " I "

Im working some more on my paper..and Im feeling really good about it. Im not entirely sure what will become of this "Good" feeling but I am insistent on finding out. I am arguing the third topic that was given out to us on the hand out for this assignment.

A tragic flaw of ones character is described to us as "Hamartia" I think this is a very interesting topic. I believe that Hamlets greatest flaw was his emotions, he destroyed absolutely everything in his path after his meeting with his fathers "Spirit" His mind and his feelings led to bad actions. 

The only issue I am finding myself in is finding sufficient evidence, that pertains to my claims.
I want to make sure that the information is appropriate to what I am trying to get across to my readers.

It will be so much easier to give my opinion since we are aloud to use the word   " I "
