Hamlet I

I already kind of had a little history about Hamlet, but really reading it helped me understand why he was out his damn mind! For one his dad his dead, for two his own uncle killed his father, and three his mother and uncle got married!!! Now what person in their right mind can handle of that? Well I know I can’t. Hamlet was hurt and couldn’t take it no more and no one could really understand what the big deal was. He had no one to talk to about it because he couldn’t even believe it himself. His mother acted like it wasn’t a problem and that really made him go nuts. His uncle knew what he did was wrong but didn’t want to leave his new wife just because of what Hamlet thought or how he felt. This to me is just a nasty situation for both the uncle and mother. I believe that Hamlet has every right to be insane.

1984 Writing assigmnment!!!!

The doctrine O'Brien proclaims to Winston in the passage plays a role in both maintaining the system of oligarchical collectivism upon which INGSOC is based and in Winston’s ultimate fate at the close of the novel. In INGSOC everyone was most likely be known as insane or crazy. To control their power INGSOC would kill and replace them by people that love their Country and Party because they have been brain washed from birth. Kids was snitching on their parents and Parsons’ own daughter was the one who turned him in for talking in his sleep.

INGSOC mastered many methods to make people confess imagined crimes and to forget thoughts and memories of the past. INGSOC goals were to actually make you love INGSOC itself, in which O’Brien does to Winston. One method they use the most was torture. I believe that most of the people living under the rule of the Party are confused which is when its so easy for them to believe what the Party tells them. In regards to Winston’s confusing and his ultimate fate, I believe the case is different.

Poetry of coleridge and shelley

1. Kubla Khan is a poem of mixed feelings. I believe it celebrates imagination. According to the background info Coleridge was describing a dream until it was interrupted when he awoke. As the first stanza starts off Coleridge describes a "pleasure-dome" with a sacred river that runs "through caverns measureless to man." This seems to be a creative possibility of paradise. In the second stanza is where the poem ventures off in to an opposite negative direction as he says "then reached the caverns endless to man." Prophesying war leads me to believe his dream was interrupted and he awoke to reality, "with caves of ice." The caution of indulgence is revealed when Coleridge says "and all should cry, beware! beware!" Coleridge seems to be setting in a theme to draw the line between the imaginative mind and reality.

2. In Ozymandia, the narrator is obviously just narrating the story that he is discovering from the traveler. The traveler is like a messenger between the sculptor and the narrator. His main purpose is to describe the sculptor’s thoughts of the king’s personality which are hostility. Under the sculpture is a quote from King Ozymandias that says “My name is Ozymandias, king of kings, Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" it reflects his conceded personality and the irony of that statement since the statue is surrounded by nothing and it just sunken in to the sand. This represents King Ozymandias’ pride and how it backfired on him.

The Chimney Sweeper

1. I do agree with the editors of my textbook that Blake's poetry had the power to enact social change by appealing to the imagination of the reader. I say this because in both poems he talks like a child or in a child mind set to make the young readers predict and understand his thoughts and words. It seems like he writes this poem to those who are not wealthy as others and will not have the chance to read it because where they stand in life but they will most likely hear this poem somewhere or sometime in life. Back then it was like it is now, something like a recession to everyone no matter how rich or poor you was and for him to write about social change coming could of been a sarcastic joke to people because nothing never changed.

2. I think the editor included the Parliament transcript to explained how a worker from the past in that day and age would have acted and how they thought. Well it didn't effect my reading at all. I understand it and understand the saying it was trying to do and how it tried to effect the reader but it didn't convince me enough to be effected.
