Humility Quote

Journal Prompt:
"the pains we inflict upon ourselves hurt most of all." This quote means that the pain you cause yourself hurts more than any other pain. I definitely agree with this quote because nobody knows yourself more than you. You start over thinking, put yourself in a depression and or harm yourself which cuts deeper than a knife.

Interview with History

Journal Prompt:
I would interview my three favorite artist of all time; Michael Jackson, Aaliyah and Biggie Smalls. I would ask them about their up bringing and what motivated them. I would also ask them if they came across any obstacles and if so how did they over come it. After all of that I would ask to sing/rap a song with them because I love them so much. Performing with them would of been a dream come true.

Hamlet

Journal Prompt:
I relate to Hamlet when it comes to his feelings towards his mother's new marriage. I don't like my mother being with another man. It caused our relationship to go downhill. But what I don't relate with is how he doesn't confront her about it. He doesn't take control of what's his either with I don't relate to.

What now, Hamlet?

Journal Prompt:
Now that it's confirmed that king Claudius, his uncle he show keep a close eye on him. Confront him about the issue. Then get revenge.

Action Plan for Hamlet

Journal Prompt:
Hamlet should follow his gut instinct. If he feels like his father's death was an inside job then he should try to collect evidence. Sit back and figure out how he's going to figure out who killed his father and how they're going to confess. I just think it's best that he has evidence to support his suspicions before making any other move. After that he can get revenge if he wants to.

Self-evaluate

Journal Prompt:
I always finish all my classwork on time. I do all my homework as well so I believe I'm doing well for second marking period.

Questions

Journal Prompt:

• Is Laertes trying to convince Opheila to leave Hamlet alone for her benefit or for someone else?
• Can you predict the outcome if Hamlet were to over throw his uncle?

Favorite Language

Journal Prompt:
ACT 1.2.133-164: "But break, my heart, for I must hold my tongue." I choose this line because I can relate to how he feels here the most. Hamlet is having a hard time accepting is mother marriage with his uncle after the death of his father. He wants to say something about it but feels like it's best if he holds his tongue. I lost my father as well and till this day I don't accept my mom's new boyfriend. But unlike Hamlet I don't have any hair on my tongue so I say what's ever on my mind.

Hamlet

Journal Prompt:
I like Hamlet, he hasn't give me a reason to dislike him. He's very over protective with his mother because he doesn't want her being with his uncle.  He wants to better himself by continuing school, even though no one else wants him to. I also love the fact that he keeps his father alive, which I can relate to. It's not easy letting go a parent. He just need some support, some sympathy and he would be okay.

Gallery Walk

Journal Prompt:
I observed Kenny, Alexis, Raphael, and Matthew's poster. I liked the way everyone wrote their opinion. But one thing they could of worked on paying closer attention to what the poem was saying because someone wrote that King Claudius wants Hamlet to go to school but he actually doesn't.

Standard

Journal Prompt:
The only standards my mother has for me is to do good in school, get good grades and become somebody in life. She just wants me to succeed at whatever it is I want to do. She also excepts me to respect her, myself and our family values. She just wants me to be an independent woman.

Ghost

Journal Prompt:
Ghost is an apparition of a dead person that is believed to appear or become manifest to the living, typically as a nebulous image. I don't necessarily believe in ghost but i do believe in spirits. Spirits are the nonphysical part of a person that is the seat of emotions and character; the soul. I say this because ghost are usually used as a dead person coming to haunt you. While spirits are the souls of a person.

Grief

Journal Prompt:
Grief is sorrow, especially caused by some one's death. So with that being said I'm neutral. It's good to cry and let your feelings out but at the same time you can become depressed it you allow yourself to. I say this because it brings closure if you allow it to and it could also cause more pain. I know how this feels from personal experience. My father passed away close to six years ago and i grieved so much that it caused me to get depressed until I learned how to cope.

Impact!

Journal Prompt:
Selena the movie starts by showing Selena and her childhood. It shows how her father forced them to become a band and have hour long practices. They didn't like the idea at all but it molded them to who they became. It made Selena the queen of tejano music. Selena y Los Dinos had number one hits and she won awards and everything. If it wasn't for her father's nagging and vision they wouldn't of made it to the top like they did.
