Elisha, first off, I am so sorry for being who I am. I know you're probably going to think every word I'm about to say is bullshit, and I don't blame you. I also know I've left this way too late but I didn't want to say anything unless it was going to make any sense at all instead of just random shit.…
Carissa Gipson Finally we found some trees and wherever there’s trees there’s water. We got out of the car and I could tell that my baby Gina wasn't doing so well. It felt like every step was draining the life out of us but I didn’t want to die so when Jenny fell to the ground with exhaustion, I helped her up but she was almost burnt by the ground.…
Hi Rudin, Thanks for letting me know of your upcoming run-through. No I'm not sick and tired at all, I am excited for you (tired maybe lol). If I would live closer I wouldn't have to think about it at all, even with the Rose Bowl on at the same time. I am not surprised the maestro would not like to have anybody at the rehearsal, I was actually thinking of asking for myself, but I dismissed the thought for that reason, remember in London they didn't like it either. Thanks for willing to Skype, but under the circumstances, I will go to the Rose Bowl.…
In William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Polonius says this line to Ophelia and it represents how women were depicted during this time period. The line starts out with Polonius calling Ophelia “Mary”. This could be a biblical allusion to the Virgin Mary, who is often depicted as pure and innocent. During this time, fathers, like Polonius, would expect their unmarried daughters to be virgins who was pure and innocent because their virginity determined their value. Polonius also calls her a “baby”, which often represents naivety and innocence.…

heart. He is not played as the villain and his death actually inspires a sense of loss in the movie that was simply a momentary plot structure in the play. Polonius seems to get so wrapped up in the adventure of what is going on and the game of manipulation that when he ends up dead, it is as shocking to him as the viewer (Keahmann). Despite this positive on behalf of the movie version, it does more harm than good to the overall state of the work. The change in emotional dynamics leaves the character of Ophelia to be portrayed in a manner that detracts.…
To Be or Not To Be: A Tragedy Hamlet is a tragedy which primarily focuses on Hamlet’s feelings on his father’s death and his attempt to avenge the death. Part of this tragedy involves Hamlet’s relationship with Ophelia, who gains attention only because of her tragic circumstances. One can imagine Hamlet’s story without Ophelia, but Ophelia has no story without Hamlet, which demonstrates the powerlessness of women in the play. In William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,’ Ophelia’s life seems tragic, but for her death to truly be tragic, she had to realize her powerlessness without the men in her life. Ophelia does not have many options as a woman in a patriarchal society, and Helena Bonham Carter’s juxtaposition of Ophelia’s childlike nature with the…

I draw away. It’s like the deeper I search, the more scared I am.…
Today I am going to talk, in very abridged form, a little bit about my experience of getting to know the amazing person who goes by the name of Cecilia Bernard, and what I have learned about her over the past three years of knowing her, which was both a fortunate and unfortunate event. Fortunate, obviously, because I got to meet her and see everything great about her. Unfortunate, though, as it took me as long as it did to meet her. What I first learned about her is that she was very open and inviting. I found this out on the way to New Orleans.…
