spring break homework
Mosley says we love to watch crime. When he says that we love to watch crime he really means that we like to watch it happen because it takes away guilt that was inside of us. For example, you would rob someone, then feel guilty. However, you will then see someone get robbed then murdered then you will think that what you did was okay because your crime wasn't as harsh. But in reality your crime wasn't ok. One crime that happened recently could connect to what Mosley said about how we love to watch crime. The crime was the fight in mcdonalds when the girl got jumped. It was about 6-8 females jumping and ganging up on one girl. It was obviously wrong to do that and it was obviously a crime with lots of consequences. People recorded it and it went viral. That probably made people that bully other people think or say I thought what I did was bad, this is way worse. And that will kill their gilt inside and blame it on something else

Homework#1 3/30/15
Criminal minds is a really interesting crime show to me. I like to watch because they show what's going on in the criminal's head, and why they most likely became a criminal in the first place. In addition, I also like that criminal show because it's crazy/interesting how the investigators find the criminals. The criminals think Its okay to do what they do because of the past. All because they got treated worse doesent mean they could break the laws.

Homework:Mid unit response
The author Sophocles shows that no matter how hard Oedipus tried to not make the prophecy come true it would just happen. Oedipus found out that he's going to murder the one that engendered him (kill his father) and sleep in his bed (sleep with his father's wife, which his mother) and it all came true. The author Sophocles is also saying you can't escape fate. If it's your fate, then it's bound to happen.
Homework: determine & Self-deception
Oedipus was so determined to find out the truth. The truth was that the prophecy came true. He killed the one who engendered him and slept and his bed with his own mother. Self deception comes into play when Teirsias tells Oedipus the prophecy. He didn't believe Teirsies at all and thought he was just an old crazy man that was blind and alone.

homework: Oedipus avenge
Oedipus wants any information of the death of King Lauis. He tells anyone to come forward if they know anything about it. He says they shouldn't be scared. The only punishment is to be banished so they can take the curse away from the city. In addition, Oedipus doesn't want to murder anyone because on his way to Thebes he got attacked and had to kill some people, and didn't like that he took people's life.

According to Teiresias, Oedipus can't see and realize the truth, so he is blind. He is not blind physically but mentally. All because of this Teiresias may have a bad impression on Odeipus being king. Oedipus also can't see his past because he doesn't know what really happened.

3 things I did over the break
Three things I did over the break .... Hmm... Well I Played video games most for most of the time when I wasn't doing my homework. I also slept over my cousin house and we chilled and customized sneakers. Another thing I can remeber is that I went to Chelsea Recreation Center to go to the basketball court to try and get a little work out.

Make a connection (Oedipus)
Oedipus's actions are kind of simalar. He kind of reminds me of Aaron (Moses brother). Not in all the ways but in some ways. What I see similar in them is that at one point of time they did cry and go to an higher authority (someone powerful) and cry for help. Aaron did that to Moses when his son was dying and the fresh river water turned into filthy blood.

In the poem
“I felt a funeral in my brain,” by Dickson,
madness and an obsession with death
takes over the narrator’s mind. Throughout the story
the author Emily Dickson
creates an idea
of obsession about death.
She states
clues that remind
you of death
through her metaphors.
In addition, every
stanza seems depressing.
The
author develops the idea
of madness and
obsession through her
use of metaphors.
She compares her
thoughts and death
with the use
of her metaphors.
In stanza 1 first it states “ I felt
a funeral, in
my brain”. This
means that the
author lost her
state of mind,
and because of
this she “felt
a funeral” in her
brain. This is
just one way
the author develops
the idea of madness and obsession through
her use of
metaphors,
Another
example of how
the author develops
the idea of
madness and obsession
through her use
of metaphors is “my mind
was going numb.”
This was stated
in stanza 2. The
quote shows that
the author is
sad and depressed.
It also shows
that she is frustrated
to
the point she couldn’t
think
straight. In addition, it
shows how the
poet is hitting
her breaking point.
In
the poem the author writes
“As all the
Heavens were a Bell, And
Being, but an Ear”. This
is another example
of how the
author develops the
idea of madness
and obsession through her
use of metaphors.
That quote means
heaven is calling.
I’m inferring that
she is thinking
about death because
she thinks heaven
is calling.
In
conclusion, in the
poem “I felt
a funeral in
my brain,” by
Dickson, madness and
obsession with death
takes over the
narrator’s mind. The
author develops the
idea of madness
and obsession through
the use of
metaphors. My body
statements supported my
thesis statements because
I used metaphors
from the text
that relates to
madness and obsession.

My Lamp 😂 (Personification)
The one thing I choose to personify is my lamp. My lamp is so beautiful. It's so bright and intelligent! It's smile lights up the whole room. Without my lamp I can't do anything my room. When it's dark and I'm having a bad day I'll always go to my lamp because I know it will brighten my day up.
