POST 28: BEST CLASS BLOGGER GOES TO...!

The Best Class Blogger i have read this term would be....
If i were to be frank, i think my answer might be a little unfair seeing as i have not read some peoples blog Posts. However, i have been on some and commented on most. But i cannot say that i have read everyone's Blog posts this semester. Unfortunately my opinions would only therefore be based on those who i have had an opportunity this Semester to Visit their blog sites and make comments on their blogs. Some once and others more than once.

 Now from those whose Blogs i have read and commented on, i would say Isaiah Williams has the best blog i have read this semester. I chose him because in each of his blog posts in he went into detail and provided reasons for why he wrote about a topic or why he was in support of something. For instance in his Post 19, he talks about Dante's hell and goes on to support his belief by saying, "We still acknowledge that punishment and suffering is necessary to deter evils, albeit not as extreme we do have the same idea of a scale to a crime." 

 You can tell he really put a lot of time and effort into his blog posts every week and that is why for me he has been one of the best bloggers this semester.

POST 26: Why Hamlet is more a modern hero than an ancient, epic hero

Dictionary.com defines a hero as someone who is noted for courageous acts or nobility of character: I do believe that Hamlet is more of a modern hero than an ancient epic hero. When we think about Ancient epic heroes such as Gilgamesh, Hercules, Achilles and many others who might have had extraordinary super powers or even just very exemplary warriors. Unlike these characters Hamlet is just a Prince looking to avenge his fathers death. Unlike the Ancient Epic heroes, Hamlet behaves in the same manner many of us act today. Prior to him finding out from his fathers ghost that his uncle  Claudius killed him, Hamlet has the same type of relationship we see today with most children in families where a separation has happened. For example, though his uncle is now King and married to his mother. Hamlet shows his dissatisfaction with how quickly after his death their union happened and makes this known by saying :  "...That grows to seed; things rank and gross in nature Possess it ...

POST 25: What Character is most like Hamlet?

Throughout the entire semester we have read some really amazing stories and poems. From The Wife of Bath who brings a whole new meaning to the word Feminist, Gilgamesh King of Uruk and  brave warrior, Poets like Rumi who write the most mind blowing love poems or even Li Po whose use of imagery in his writing brings every poem to life. When we read Shakespeare's Hamlet Prince of Denmark ,  i tried to think of what other character from any of the stories we have read this semester has some similarities to him. That Character would be Oedipus  from  Sophocles'  Oedipus The King . The first and the most obvious similarity between Hamlet and Oedipus  is that both characters are part of a royal family. Oedipus is the King of Thebes and Hamlet is the Prince of Denmark. We start to see more similarities when we look at the motives that led up to the tragic endings in both stories.  Both characters are fueled by the lost of their fathers and on a quest to find...

POST 4: Exploring Archetypes In Metamorphoses

When a symbol, Pattern, or model is used time and time again across various cultures and time periods. It can be defined as an Archetype. Metamorphoses is written by the Roman Poet Ovid, who tells a bunch of stories filled with archetypes and different characters. The first Archetype i noticed was  The archetypes of unrequited love and maiden goddess which are present in the stories about 'Apollo and Daphne.' Apollo was in love with Daphne, daughter of the river god. Apollo fell deeply in love with Daphne, however she did not return his love. She did not return his love for one reason.  ‘ Dearest father, let me be a virgin for ever!  Diana ’s father granted it to her.’ (734) She vowed to live an unmarried life like Artemis, the goddess of the hunt. She did not feel any love towards him.Both Archetypes can be seen in today's society, in our movies, books, lives etc. it has become a reoccurring theme. to love someone and they do not share or reciprocate those feelin...
