reenactment

Then scene I choose direct is act 5 scene 3 from lines 117-157. I would have the scene set up as where everyone is in a large royal room (has gold plated chairs, columns, marble floors, purple cloth complementing the gold) filled with Leontes, Paulina, Perdita, Camillo, Polixenes. In the center of the room a statue of Hermione but she is covered in gold and she seems realistic except that she is make of "gold". When she is unveiled everyone sees that she made of gold and even Leontes is surprised to a point he runs towards it and tries to touch her because he thinks its really her when we Paulina jumps in front and stops him and she speaks her line from 117. And the scene would continue with the dialogue and Leontes would end up on his knees below Hermione thanking the Gods that she is alive.
As for casting the actors for this movie I would cast Christian Bale as Leontes because we have seen him act as well as hear him get angry over nothing (when he gets angry on the terminator set), Catherine Zeta-Jones would be Hermione because she can play the role of a strong woman and she could play the part well. Polixenes would be played by Matt Damon because he can act as if he is scared and would leave to avoid being poisoned by a similar aged Leontes. I chose these characters as they are younger but they will have "aged" in 16 years and fit the reenactment scene of Hermione coming to life.

Disappointed

When we were told we were going to watch the movie I was excited because I thought it would be like I imagined it when I was reading. But when the movie started it seemed a bit out of order and did not follow closely to the book. I was actually disappointed when we were introduced to the characters, I thought that Lucy, George, and Miss Bartlett were much older than they were portrayed in the book. I think that the acting was not really believable especially George, he seemed much stranger in video than he did on the film. Also in the book it seemed like it was completely crowded in the square and filled with more "lower class" people. The script and everything else was relatively close to what happened in the book.
If I were to direct this movie I would make the characters to a closer resemblance to what they seem to be like in the book. The film would also follow the path of the book and continue exactly what has happened. I think by doing those things this movie would be much better and actually follow the book exactly.

Looked down upon

So the passage i chose was chapter 6 page 60 starting at "The two elder ladies soon threw off...". Basically this passage was about Miss Bartlett and Miss Lavish discuss what Mr. Emerson does for work.
Miss Bartlett has as Mr. Emerson what he does for work and she got the answer "the railway" which is apparently not a very respectable job because she says "She had no idea that i would be such a dreadful answer, or she would not have asked him.". As you can see they feel as those they don't want to associate with the lower social class, because they consider themselves to be much in a much higher social class than the Emersons.The passage gave us a general view of how Miss Lavish and Miss Bartlett feel about George Emerson and how he is lower.
We are getting this information from third person and can see exactly what is going on and what is being said and how they feel about it. The narrator is not trying to hide the fact that they feel this away about the lower class, the narrator wants us to know how everyone feels about each situation.

How to talk to girls at parties response

In the story "How to talk to girls at parties", Enn is the main character as well as the narrator because it is first person because we are seeing everything through his eyes. Enn is a teenage boy attending a party with his friend Vic, however the girls they actually meet are "different". The girls seems to talk about weird subjects or act strange to Enn, but Enn doesn't really seem to notice because he is too busy trying to make a move on some of the girls. I think that the Narrator is very reliable because he has all the details about what the girls say to him and doesn't seem to miss any of what the girls say, however the he did say "This all happened thirty years ago. I have forgotten much, and I will forget more, and in the end I will forget everything ...... I cannot believe that i will ever forget that moment....". It seems as though hes saying that he is missing things but when reading the story I don't think he missed a single thing that happened at the party. The author's choice of narrator influenced how the story dealt with the main issue because he was a witness to everything and saw what was going on. For example: he was watching his friend Vic throughout the story and what he was like but in the end "He walked away from me then, shoulders heaving, and he hurried down the road so he was in front of me and I could no longer see his face.", he saw his friend that was cocky with the girls but in the end he was just a teenage boy again. I think that what we witnessed was the eagerness to be older because they brought alcohol and tried to do things kids their age wouldn't do.

Daedalus and Icarus

In the poem "The story of Daedalus and Icarus" by Ovid translated by Rolfe Humphries, there are a lot of advanced literary tropes and figures of speech. But the one is polysyndeton because it was easy to notice all the "and's", "or's" and some "but's"; i counted thirty four ands, buts, or ors. Ovid must have not known he was using polysyndeton because in the time this was written it was different than the translation. The polysyndeton contributes to the reading of the poem because it seems like it is trying to build up momentum or edge the reader to want to know what is next. For example "And the boy thought this is wonderful! and left his father, soared higher, higher, drawn to the vast heaven, near the sun and..." So as you can see the polysyndeton makes the reader want to get to the end and see's what happens to Icarus. The poem starts off with Daedalus bringing his son Icarus flying and this turns out to be a bad idea because with the polysyndeton we knew that Ovid is building up to something. In the end Icarus does not listen to his father and ends up melting off his "wings" and finally falling into the ocean where he drowned. The polysyndeton lead up to the death of Icarus which was the where the momentum was headed to.

Sonnet 116

In William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 116 he argues about love and how it should never be able to change or it isn’t real love. Shakespeare argues this by saying “O, no, it is an ever-fixed mark” saying that real love between two people can never be affect by anything else. He uses imagery to give us an image of a young girl by saying “those rosy lips and cheeks” and “sickle’s compass” which gave me an image in my head of an aging person from a young girl into an old lady; this also helped his argument because it meant that even when you age the love still stays the same between the two people. He continues to argue by saying “Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks…”, this meant that love doesn’t change even after time but it goes all the way through until death. The turn for this poem is the last two lines, it does not shift the argument at all but backs it up because he says if he is wrong then he has never written before and no man has ever loved, which I consider a bit of a clever remark instead of an argument shift. Clever because it means he is not wrong about what he is arguing about and stands by his idea of true love.

"Difference" analysis

In the poem “Differences” by Mark Doty he wrote about the differences of jellyfish. Doty does not use many of the sounds of poetry. However, he used the consonance sound “S” in every stanza of his poem. He used at least two “s” sounds in every stanza. For example, in stanza seven line two saying “or a plastic purse swallowing itself,” you can see that the consonance sound sticks out and you pay closer attention to the details given by Doty. By having the consonance “s” sound it made the poem easier to read, more enjoyable to read, and allows the reader to gather the details. Doty also uses caesura to give the reader a place to stop and think about what he was trying to say, then starting a new idea or thought. For example, “...of metaphor. What can words do” we stop to think about what was said before and finish out thoughts.

However I feel that he actually uses comparative and associative tropes to get his message across to us, the reader better than the sounds of poetry. From the beginning he describes jellyfish as all the same and in the middle he uses similes to describe how they are different from one another if you pay closer attention to an individual. I think that this poem is a metaphor because Doty is actually talking about humans trying to change their “shapes” or “looks” to be individuals and so we, humans, are not all seen the same.
