Foxy Cleopatra Narrative

Superior Essays
I am a foxy Cleopatra that cannot be messed with. In other words, I’m a unique individual that was designed by all knowing God. He created me to be an organized, crybaby boss, who has no filter. With much difficulty, I was molded with melancholic traits, dusted with the spirt of a choleric, and blessed with the peaceful nature of a phlegmatic. I was wonderfully made to be me, and that is who I want to be.

I may act all tough, but in reality I am a sensitive little girl that gets easily offended, so it wouldn 't be a surprise to know that I am overly emotional. In fact, emotional cry baby does not even begin to describe me enough because I cry for everything. When I get overwhelmed, sad, mad, angry, or even happy, I cry. In the past two weeks,

Thomas and visit my grandmother. She is elderly, so I feel it is my duty to help her around the house whenever I visit, but there is always a problem when I go and visit her. My grandmother does not mind a messy house. Unfortunately, her unclean tendencies annoy me to no end, especially when my grandmother decides to clean fish. She just doesn 't understand my craving for organization, and I guess that is where we don 't see eye to eye. She has no problem with fish scales and allows them to fly around the room, but I have a problem with them. All I want is a clean kitchen that has no fishy scales or sharp objects. Furthermore, my grandmother has this old table that she got a long time ago. She loves this ancient table, but it has pointy edges. I am so afraid of hitting the table that I refuse to get a glass of water at night. In order for me to get to the kitchen light, I have to past that table. Now, if I was James Bond, I would never bump into that table again. With all those cool gadgets he has, I am almost positive I would miss every single corner of that stupid table, but that is besides the point. I hate pain and all that table causes me is pain. I don 't know about others, but I am not one for suffering, so I usually just stay in bed. If I need water, I just stay in bed and think about the reasons why I forgot to get it in the first place because once I hit that table, that 's it. Although I hate that table, I would feel bad if I demanded for …show more content…
My Aunt Tessa’s house is usually where we stay since lives close to all the malls. Don 't get me wrong, I love staying with my aunt, but her son is not the most ideal person to stay with, and seeing that he lives there too, it is almost impossible to miss him. Junior, my cousin, is a grown man that loves to make a mess. His room and car are living testimonies of his messiness. Whenever I enter his room and car, I feel as if I lose my mind piece by piece because I never believed a room or car could be that messy. I always have to yell at him to clean them. I yell and yell until he has no choice but to clean his room and car. I usually try not to be mean and get upset and boss him around, but someone has to put him in his place and I guess it just has to be me. As a choleric, I believe it is his fault for making me act the way I do. If he were to do what is needed to be done right the first time, there would be no need for me to interfere. I feel as if he should know what to do because once I get their he only has one option, which consists of him cleaning my way and my way only. One could see a problem with that, but I don 't. The whole situation could have been avoided, if he would have kept his

During these prejudice interactions, Cofer responded with pure modesty and high hopes that her actions would diminish others credence within the myth of the Latin woman Through Cofer’s personal reflection, the author acknowledged instances in which she was subjected to racial stereotyping.

This time, I tried to think of something clever and told him he needed to hold onto it so no one else would steal it.

    I thought it was refreshing to get a male perspective on feminists stereotypes and found it interesting how you disagreed with Cleopatra’s stereotype. I had never heard about the “femme fatale” stereotype but as I read the book I was persuaded to see that she could fit that stereotype. However, it was not until I read your post that I could see that she did not exactly fit that stereotype. I really liked how you argued that she Cleopatra was not a “femme fatale” but, perhaps, ahead of her time. I also agree with you when you say your perspective on the “bimbo” stereotype was changed.…

    With Antony and Cleopatra, William Shakespeare engages in a story centered on power—the control and authority to command nations. In the story, many of the main characters, such as Octavius Caesar and Mark Anthony, struggle to gain and maintain their grasp of authority. Yet, unlike in past texts we have read where control and influence are gained through acts of honor and ethical means, these characters attempt to gain their power by any way possible. These “Triple-turn’d whore[s]” (Shakespeare 2008: 280) spout promises only to break them at the nearest convenience. This paper will analyze the acts of betrayal and deceit used by the characters to gain their control and what it reveals about the author’s personal beliefs on rulers.…

Stacy Schiff, author of the book Cleopatra: The last Queen of Egypt further explores this idea, “Cleopatra was incredibly clever she knew that marrying Caesar would create a joint monarchy and would not only solidify her grip on the throne, but ensure stability for her beloved Egypt.” Her political and romantic alliances influenced Roman leadership to advancing the interests of Egypt, bringing prosperity to her nation and defying the Roman expansion. When Caesar was murdered in 44BCE Cleopatra sparked a second political alliance with Mark Antony, another powerful Roman general in 41BCE.…

    Cleopatra was the last Ptolemy of Egypt: a masterpiece in Ancient history famed with both vices and great virtues. Stacy Schiff’s book, Cleopatra, portrayed this woman in a positive way, trying to restore her lost and spoilt glory. This was because Cleopatra attempted to do so in the shadow of the Roman Empire, which at the time, was extending its reach throughout the Eurasian plate. Cleopatra faced multiple problems in her time as ruler of Egypt and tried to solve them diligently by asserting her authority. Schiff’s take on Cleopatra, tentatively entitled Cleopatra: A Life, takes an in-depth look at the challenges that Cleopatra faced in her pursuit of socio-political power, which largely included internal and external aggressors, and examined…
