1. Puritans were more reserved people, very religious and were very calm and up tight it seems like.
The cavaliers on the other hand lived for today, were more open minded, and in a sense of more freedom and the power to do as they please.
2. Well the contrast by the fact that puritans were more classy and proper as the Cavaliers were more open minded people and freedom.
3. Paradise Lost is a good example of Puritan writing along with The Pilgrim's Progress. Good example of a Cavalier style writing would be To Althea, from Prison.
4. I would associate my self more with being a Cavalier cause you should live for today since you may never know when it could be your last.

Pastoral Blog and Rural living
To tell the truth , I love the country side but living here all my life, I'm going insane I hate small towns. Anything under ten thousand is to small. I love the thrill of the city, and just the hustle and the bustle that goes along with all the people. Benefits of a small town are that is very safe for instance. Also you get to know people quite well. The drawbacks is that there isn't very many people for instance (dating). Then there is the shopping which you cant get a whole lot of O'Neill. There isn't much to do on the weekends for teenagers. I plan on living in a rural area right outside of a huge urban area if possible, or I would live in a urban area which is fine for me.

GrahaM Luber crossfire
1. Disagree I would say that our fate is not predetermined and that we have the power to change it however we so choose to do.
2. Agree I believe that power holds something in it that captures something in everyones mind. "With great power comes great responsibilities ", Uncle Ben.
3. Disagree, I can see people who would get sick of power and those that would do just do about anything to maintain.
4. Disagree depends on the crime I would say, and the severity of the crime.
5. Agree if you commit murder then you should receive what you did as a punishment.
Our fate is never predetermined and dont let anyone ever tell you differently. If your capable of making your own decisions then you can choose your own fate as well. I really hate it when people say its my fate to do what my parents want me to do live your life as you want to live it. You only live once so live your life to the fullest make the most of everything.
If you were to murder someone i think that, the penalty should be death in return. Basic Karma what goes around comes around. Or and eye for an eye, there really should never be an excuse for murder unless its in self defense. Then we few exempts there it would be permitable.

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.

Hamlet blog
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.
