How do the studied poets and Shakespeare use literary techniques to show how people respond to forces in the world over which they have no control?

How do the studied poets and Shakespeare use literary techniques to show how people respond to forces in the world over which they have no control?

For this assignment i will be figuring out and going into detail with the term fate, also the contents of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, On First Son’ by Ben Johnson Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night’ by Dylan Thomas, also identifying literary techniques used in going against fate, as well as the characters in the poem trying to avoid or taking fate.
In the very first two poem by Johnson and Thomas fate is presented as an accursed curse where the loved ones were stolen from them, written by the author. Hamlet also asked us to think about fate and consider whether it is better to be alive or dead or is it more dignified to put up with all the horrifying things that fate gives you without any option/consent?
Mixed emotions were deeply felt as all three speakers have lost someone close to them but one emotion that strongly stands out is anger. This is particularly shown inthe  two poems. Dylan Thomas ‘Do not go gentle into that good night’ as similar to On My First Sonne: in the first poem a young boy was not able to let the elderly man (his father) go: he said ‘do not go gentle into that good night’ meaning don’t die without a fight, fight for your survival, fight against your destiny.  Hamlet can be seen as fairly similar but with a different type of emotion which is rage. Hamlet sought revenge for his fathers death but it is  not like the other deaths – this was a murder and his father was killed.
In ‘Do Not Go Gentle In That Good Night’ Dylan Thomas is telling the reader that no one should die without putting up with a fight, he talks particularly about role models as they are meeting there death; old men, wise men, wild men, grave men. They are all particularly at there old age and are confront ted by fact ‘death’, He picture his dad as a role model a ‘god’ that he looks up to and now he is being confronted by fate he is telling everyone to not go out without a fight. His dad ison a ‘sad’ hieght above him. hecan curse dylan thomas and blless himn and he is ‘fierce’ evgen tohugh he is a god to dylan thomas the ooem asks him to resist death and to not die. the poet wants his dad to usehis ‘immortals god like powers’ but tragically hes dead and heecant stop that it is fate. Anger is represented here in an sad way because the poet asks us to resist death but at the same time he knows that even a god will die ‘thomas is writing in 1947 just after the secound world war where most of the popuklation started doubting god and relgion has stopped being somthing they will rely on to console…

 

 

 

Act 3 Scene 1&2

                                                         Act III, scene i
Summary

Claudius and Gertrude discuss Hamlet’s behavior with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, who say they have been unable to learn the cause of his melancholy. They tell the king and queen about Hamlet’s enthusiasm for the players. Encouraged, Gertrude and Claudius agree that they will see the play that evening. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern leave, and Claudius orders Gertrude to leave as well, saying that he and Polonius intend to spy on Hamlet’s confrontation with Ophelia. Gertrude exits, and Polonius directs Ophelia to walk around the lobby. Polonius hears Hamlet coming, and he and the king hide.

                  act 3 scene ii

That evening, in the castle hall now doubling as a theater, Hamlet anxiously lectures the players on how to act the parts he has written for them. Polonius shuffles by with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, and Hamlet dispatches them to hurry the players in their preparations. Horatio enters, and Hamlet, pleased to see him, praises him heartily, expressing his affection for and high opinion of Horatio’s mind and manner, especially Horatio’s qualities of self-control and reserve. Having told Horatio what he learned from the ghost—that Claudius murdered his father—he now asks him to watch Claudius carefully during the play so that they might compare their impressions of his behavior afterward. Horatio agrees, saying that if Claudius shows any signs of guilt, he will detect them.

Summery Hamlet Act 2 Scene 2

Act II, scene ii
Summary
Within the castle, Claudius and Gertrude welcome Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two of Hamlet’s friends. Increasingly concerned about Hamlet’s erratic behavior and his apparent inability to recover from his father’s death, the king and queen have summoned his friends to Elsinore in the hope that they might be able to cheer Hamlet out of his melancholy, or at least discover the cause of it. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern agree to investigate, and the queen orders attendants to take them to her.

Summery

The summery of hamlet is basically in London in the past as there were strict rules about your freedom and how you can use that as gay people were a no, no as well as women weren’t allowed to participate in the plays, people used to go to Southwark, Southwark is place where people will go there to have a good time there were prostitution, acts that weren’t allowed in the posh and modern area of London.

today lesson

Scout’s Aunt Alexandra is very proud of her family heritage. Simon Finch was one of the earliest settlers in the area, and Alexandra is proud of several other past family members. She always said “What Is Best for the Family” and “Fine Folks,” but she Speaks badly  on the negative side of people in most of her conversations. In Alexandra’s mind, the Finches ranked at the top of the table and few other families could compare. She directs Atticus to explain to his children about the family’s generations.

The Cunninghams, however, were run-of-the-mill people, they’re good folks. But they’re not our kind of folks upper classes people referd them as

The Cunninghams were poor and had very little to eat everyday, Scout was curious about why her aunt and upper classed people specifically disliked the Cunninghams, and Alexandra(the aunt) angrily came to the point.

this is the quote of what she said

“I’ll tell you why,” she said”Because they are trash, that’s why you can’t play ith then. I’ll not have you around them, picking up his habits and learning Lord-knows-what.”

They all don’t like the to be finished!!!

Tom Robison (is he like a mocking bird)

Miss Maudie says Mockingbirds dont do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They dont eat up people’s garderns, dont nest in corncribs, they dont do one thing but sing their hearts out for us, Tom Robinson is a mockingbird. He helps Mayella to do her chores out of the goodness and of his heart, which people like the Ewells exploit and resulted in his death. Even when Mayella lies to the court and accuses him, he does not get angry but but instead say she’s mistaken in her mind

Is humanity responsible for the complex ecosystem (Not Finished)

Is humanity responsible for the destruction of complex ecosystem?

 

In my opinion humanity are responsible for the destruction of the complex ecosystem as they destroy natural habitat and trees chopping lots of for paper every single day here is another example how humanity are destroying natural environments.

 

Humanity are responsible for the mayhem in Guam, Guam is a Pacific Ocean. It’s was used by American troops during and after the second world war it was then that the ‘Brown Tree snakes over took Guam, they literally tagged along on their rack sack then they eventually reproduced in numbers as well as in size.

They rapidly increased in number and more and more were hunting for food to survive not to mention they had so much hunting techniques venomous, razor sharp teeth to penetrate through any living creature, mostly their prey were birds, birds in that island a remarkable but are vital to Guam as they pollenate them and carry there seeds which lets them grow and produce more trees.

But like as said those snake are hunting for food and those birds are on their number one list so no birds as they are being eaten every single day which means who is going to pollinate the trees to make them grow or live?

Miss Critchley Homework

A)

1. Swifts in different times the eventually fly

2. As well they eventually meet not together as they fly in different times so they woud meet in different dates of time

They compete just like any other animal does for food for survival but the most they often compete with there prey insects so they can have food for them and their familys.

To kill a mocking bird

Harper Lee uses the clock tower in her description of the May-comb County courthouse to symbolize and show the fact that May-comb is stuck in its past and unable to move forward towards racial and stereotypes to even slavery.

As well linking to this another quote comes in “The May comb County courthouse was faintly reminiscent of Arlington in one respect: the concrete pillars supporting its south roof were too heavy for their light burden.

I was thinking that the south roof meant the southern side of the US, and the southerners wanted to keep their old views about African Americans.

Anti-Hero

I have chosen HarryPotter the book as well as the film but not Harry himself, I have chosen Snape.                                          Even now, months after seeing the movie, I still get choked up when I think about Snape and his doe patronus(Spell)

The real question at the heart of Harry Potter is, Can love win? And it’s answered in Snape, the second cruelest person in the world next to Voldemort, who is somehow transformed by love.

Snape, like all Anti-Heroes represents what society detests as in hate cruelty, cowardice, self-interest, and dishonesty. He is the opposite of the hero, a villain, and yet somehow he’s a villain on the good guys side.  There are many anti heros in the book and film but this guy ‘Snape’ caught my eye as some people will go for Harry and others.

Ps I had to do this again as my previouse one did not save
