Hamlet blog act 3

1. Yes I do like the advice he gives the actors, because I believe it makes the play seem a lot more real, and convincing. My favorite actors are Johnny Depp and Val Kilmer it just seems these guys go to the extreme to get into their character and they always deliver a good performance.

2. No I dont think he crosses the line, I think that its only fair because the way the treated him, maybe he did go a little far with Ophelia. His flaws are what make him great, and that overall makes him a great character in this story. His flaws make him seem more realistic.

3. Because he is the king I think his ego gets in the way from him getting completely clean of his sins. I think he can be redeemed if he tells his wife and Hamlet and the country of what he has all done.

4. I think Harry Potter has some of the same flaws, in book 7 he could easily get the Elder Wand but decides against it. Hamlet I believe will be able to over come his inability to act instead of to think.

5. I don't believe so because only Hamlet could only see him, if he was really there I believe Gertrude would have been able to see him there also.

Graham Luber's Hamlet act 2 blog

1. I would characterize polonius as a schemer, he likes to use people to his advantage. He seems very over protective of his daughter Ophelia.

2. His motto is how ever you see the world in your head is how your going to interpret it into reality. I would describe myself as a pessimist cause I seem to always look at the worst of things always seem to expect them to happen. I just don't seem to have very much luck in my life.

3. Yes and no, I personally think using your daughter to see if another man likes her is kinda of messed up, but also I could see where in a strange way he is also looking our for her best interest.

4. I think he is just pretending to be insane maybe for attention. When he's around people he seems more depressed and solemn, but when he's giving a soliloquies he seems more himself and more aware of himself and more in control.

5. Because he himself is a dramatic person, I think he is going to use the play because he know it will work to test his theory on his uncle.

6. Well if they are really his friends then yes it was wrong to spy on him for his parents, unless something seriously was wrong like if he was suicidal. I'd believe Hamlet feels betrayed by his friends. I mean I would feel seriously betrayed by my friends if they had been sent by my parents to spy on my.

1.
My fate cries out, And makes each petty artery in this body as hardy as the Nemean lion's nerve.
Still am I call'd. Unhand me, gentleman. By heaven, I'll make a ghost of him that lets me. I say, away! Go on. I'll follow thee.(Ham,act1,sceneV, line 90, p.34) Why did I pick this, because it's when Hamlet realizes how his dad died. It's basically saying that by my own will I will go and talk to this ghost. To me this is when the plot thickens and the story really gets a going.

2. I would have to say I'm a Marcellus, why you ask because in my life time I've had a lot of paranormal experiences. Also I think that ghost are quiet real, but in a completely different sense I think you need to believe in them for you to experience things of this sort.

3. Hamlet, says Seems, madam? Nay, it is. I know not seems. Tis not alone my inky cloak, good mother, Nor customary suits of solemn black, nor windy suspiration of forced breath, No, nor the fruitful river in the eye, Nor the dejected havior of the visage, Together with all forms, modes, shapes of grief, that can denote me truly. These indeed seem, for they are actions that a man might play; but I have that within which passeth show, these but the trappings and the suits of woe.
What he does, obey his mom, I shall in all my best obey you madam.
How he is described, as a good person and a good friend, Horatio: The same, my lord, and your poor servant. Marcellus: My good lord!
What other characters think of him: Laertes: Perhaps he loves you now, and now no soil nor cautel doth besmirch The virtue of his will; but you must fear, his greatness weigh'd, his will is not his own; For he himself is subject to his birth.

4. Yes I would trust the ghost advice, the ghost dose seem pretty convincing, I would most likely keep what the ghost said to me a secret cause I don't want people to think that I'm insane or something.

graham luber matrix blog 2

1. I believe Cypher decided to go back to the matrix because he was unhappy. He wanted to be able to eat good things, and live a good life, instead of living in the ship, and wearing old clothes and eating nasty food. Ignorance is bliss, because if you don't know about anything or something then it wont bother you at all and you want take the time to find out about something.

2. I think Neo does not believe he is the one, until maybe when the oracle tells him he isn't but tells him he is in control of his own fate. I think maybe slowly he is starting to realize he has powers others don't. Harry Potter doesn't think he is a hero until he hears the prophecy in the order in the phoenix and Dumbledore explains everything to him for the first time.

3. I think if everyone was perfect the world would be pretty boring no one would be exciting to others cause everyone would be the same to each other. In another movie is like Terminator where the machines are used or bad. Eagle Eye is another one too where the machine goes wack.

1. Well when Neo was in the blog he didn't know any better, which parallels with the man in the cave he never new any better, he didn't know there was an outside world at all. Also in the Matrix Neo never new any different until they brought him out of his fluid sac, and picked him up in their hover craft.

2. Reality is basically a fluid concept because you can really make it out to be whatever you want it to be. We say things are real when we can see, smell, taste, and feel, but what about air we cant feel it or taste it so how dose that come in to play with reality.

3.Yes in certain ways the matrix dose parallel our lives in 2008, it seems that all the technology has lessened our value on life, and somewhat our morals seem to have decreased a little. It also seems we are a lot less social now that we have the internet, to do talking and messaging.

Graham Luber Allergor writing The cave

1. To me the allegory represents that as human beings we see what we want to see. We can shape reality, to fit it as we please, and as long as we are comfortable with ourselves. Also that we are blind to the truth until it hits us in the face then it will change our perspectives.

2. Socrates is trying to say that the truth will change reality, for us as human beings were sometimes selfish and want everything to work for us. And with reality we can make it however we want it.

3. Well basically if you are learned one way, during your life and then you are showed you are a different way you would never know it was right. Basically you can go along life thinking your way is the right way until your corrected.

4. Basically they can give us a guide of lessons or morals, they can teach us things that modern day stuff can't teach us. Such as technology.

Graham Luber Comparison Blog.

Upon comparing the The Miller's tale and The Knight's Tale, they both seem to have some common points. Love, greed, jealousy, are all important aspects too these stories. In the nights tale you had two knights Arcita and Palamon who were cousins. They ended up fighting each other to win over the girl called Emily. The story ends in the death of one cousin,(Chaucer lines:693-696) "O Sire, what need for more ado? We have deserved our deaths at the hands of you. Two woeful wretches are we, two captives That are encumbered by our own sad lives;". Both stories were really arbitrary the way the end. Such as in the Miller's Tale these three men are all after the same woman, and she is very callow because she is young. She likes to mess around with their heads which isn't good because it ends up in result with the town thinking her husband is mentally insane. Basically these two teach morals about being in love and what are the consequences that can come from obsession. With these stories they have a contiguous flow about what messages they teach about the seven deadly sins.

Graham's Beowulf Argument Paragraph

It seems that Beowulf is more than just an incredible warrior, whose fame has reached all corners of the known world. To some you could say he is Christ like in his manner. Immutable he may seem. Savior to some, some more than others. Beowulf came to faraway lands not just for fun or for fame, or for even wealth for that matter. It was his good heart that led to where danger and wrong doings were taking part. For one instance in the book is when he travels across the sea with a ship of men to help the king of Danes in ridding themselves of Grendel. Beowulf helped their king, and with many others he aided soldiers, kings, in war and in troubled times. It seems that some people over look the fact that he could be called one of the greatest peace keepers ever.
