Assignment number Eight

If there is anything to prove about the play A Midsummer Nights Dream is that love is crazy and people change their opinions and minds way to easy. They also change their minds so fast that you don’t even know what is going on. These events especially take place in this play because of the help they get from the fairies Puck and Tiburon as they cause mischievous as the mess with the characters eyes, such as Demetrius and Lysandar along with Titania.

To start off with proving my thesis is correct just look at Helena and how at first Demetrius and Lysander saw her as a freak, even tough Demetrius had relations with her they both still wanted to have nothing to do with her. Even though Helena was deeply and madly in love with Demetrius when Demetrius got the dust in his eyes she then didn’t take him or Lysander to whom they both loved seriously and thought they were joking. So she didn’t know how to respond to it and just ignored both Lysander and Demetrius so Demetrius had challenged Lysander to a dual for Helena. But then the story had gotten even crazier as then Puck and Oberon had changed Lysander back to liking Hermia but they had left Demetrius to still like Helena as they have yet to change Demetrius eyes back to normal.

The second bizarre case in this play that proves my thesis would be where Lysander keeps getting messed with and how he relates to how most guys are in how he always keeps changing his mind as he changes who he says he is in love with three times. As he first started off likening Hermia to which the point he was going to run away with her and to eventually marry her to then getting his mind and eyes messed with so that he starts to like Helena even tough she is a freak about Demetrius. The third time he changes he goes back to Hermia which proves that he is unstable and can’t make up his mind. The following reasons prove that Lysander is like a normal guy as to the point were he can never make up his mind as in to who he wants to be with as he is on again off again with Hermia. This is what I think that Shakespeare is trying to prove in this play as love is crazy and it makes odd changes.

The third and final case that I am proving in this play is that how Titania started off hating Oberon but she eventually going off and marrying him. What is also bizarre about Titania is how she started off not liking any buddy and hating Oberon to liking Bottom even though he had the face of a donkey and then she had changed her mind once more into liking Oberon. The one other odd thing about her love for Bottom was that she was fairy and Bottom was a human so how that would have worked?

After all of the following reason about how love is crazy and people change and make up their minds so fast would prove that that statement is true in this play especially when there are trouble making fairies around, when most people can’t even make up their minds for themselves.

Assignment number Seven

Assignment number Six

Both Lysander and Demetrius can be called Foolish as yesterday they both had liked Hermia and now they both like Helena. Although it does make a pretty good plot and a twist in the story as now it went from Hermia running off with Lysander to now he wants Helena. What is foolish about it is that Helena wanted Demetrius really bad to now she thinks that he is pulling a trick on her because he used to not want to have anything to do with her and now he is obsessed with her. The other thing that is messed up with the book is that how Hermia had just gotten screwed over how every one liked her and she had all of these options to now every one ignoring her and not liking her.

Assignment number Five

Dear ABBY: How does some one who is madley in love with a girl wait so long to be married and how are there ways to speed up this waiting process? I know that time will come and pass but is it is so long and hard to wait for the one person I love so much and to be with them. What are some ways or some things I  can do to pass the time more quickly?

-LOVER IN ATHENS

DEAR DISTRESSED: One way you could pass time quickly would be by having the other person talk to you and they could stay with you for the next couple of days. Another way you could try to pass the time would be by asking your loved one to move the wedding forward some by like a day or two. If neither of those ideas work then all I can tell you is that you will just have to wait the few days until you actualy will be able to get married.

Assignment number Four

I noticed in the film that we watched the other day that the costumes were a lot diffrent as they looked more modern time then they would have looked when the book came out. there was also a difrence in the setting around the characters to as it also looked like more moddern times. The actors looked a lot diffrent in the movie then when I had pictured them as Hipolita I saw as a bigger person and I also saw Theseus as a bigger stronger guy than he was in the movie. They all seamed like they had a lot diffrent peronality than what i had pictured them. I think that seeing the play did help me understand it more as it had helped a lot with the visual and setting as it helped with me noticing the setting better.

Assignment number Three

    Assignment number Two

      There are many different ways of humour in act l, Scene ll as they use humour unintentionally by saying stuff without it intending to make it funny. They also made it histarcal by having the actors say things and them mixing up there wordrs or how Bottom asked which part was he had best for his beard. Another thing that made it funny was the sarcasim they used in the section as asking what the lions speaking part was.

Assignment number One   

 The relationship between Hermia and Egeus is so far not going to well as her father is forbiding her to marry the man she loves (Lysander) as he say he is not good enough and that she needs to mary Demetrius. Although she loves Lysander she has three choices she can make and she has to choose one of them before the wedding which is in four days. Her choices are that she could kill herself, that she could just marry Demetrius and be happy as he has lots of money and it would make her dad happy, or she could run off with Lysander and be happy with the man she loves but make her dad angry. Proff that the relation ship is bad is that on pg 3 in the book Hermia says so will I grow, so die, my lord.

      I have finished the first chapter in this book and it is very good so far as it talks about the journey of success as that is what the chapter is called. In the chapter Jim Tressel talks about how success can be measured. That it’s not about who gets the most money or who has the better job. For athletes its not who wins more games or more national championships, and that it’s about you knowing that you are the best you can be and you did the best you can. Which I agree with him in this philosophy that success can’t be measured by others and that it is about self satisfaction.The first chapter also talks about how he relates success with the players that he coaches and how that is his main goal in coaching, even though he also enjoys winning a lot to. He also talks about although he tries to send as many players as he can to the NFL. He still listens to his players as in if they wanted to be a doctor or something else how he still tries to teach them success in the medical field or what ever the players want to do.

I have just finished the second chapter in the book The Winners Manual and it has some helpful pointers so far in the book that help me in sports and in real life situations. As he talked about the block O in life which is a chart that helps you remember what things are important in life and it talks about what your goals are in life. Anyone can make a block O as it is just the Ohio States O symbol with two lines coming off all six sides of the O and the top half is for the purpose of the O and it says, Personal, Family, Spiritual, Moral, Caring, and Giving. The bottom half stands for the goals that you want out of life and you make them up. The chapter also talked about what all of the sections mean and what his goals are for the Ohio State Buckeyes players are. They are Strength, Fitness, Football, Family, Academics, and Career. The last thing he talks about in this chapter is that why he wants football players to do this and he wants them to know what being goal oriented means in life as he says it for every training camp he has.
