Good Golly!

What is everyone's problem with The Rape of the Lock?? I loved it! Yes it was a little tedious to get through but that comes with the territory of epic poetry. I'm quite the fan of epics in general as well as sarcasm so the combination of the two was quite delightful! As I was reading it all I could think was "this would make a blimey good play!"... in reality my thoughts were probably a little less British but hey, this is Brit Lit class. Back to the point. I would thoroughly enjoy watching someone run around a stage demanding a lock of hair be returned to their head. The card scene and mythical references would add some nice theatrics into a mix of overall hysteria. I loved the idea so much I seriously considered writing a play myself! However, that would require reading the whole epic and much more time than I have on my hands. It isn't entirely out of the picture though and maybe one day I'll scrap together something that you all would find at least mildly entertaining.

Note: I also thought a mock opera would be a great way to display this epic!

Thats some proposal....

Well, thats a diffrent option, selling our infants for delicous meals. This rates right up there on the creppy scale with Baby Cakes. I was about half-way through when it finally clicked what Swift was proposing and then another half a page to find the sick humor in it. MESSED UP. I find this even more disturbing considering we just got our teacher back from maternaty leave. Keep a eye on her kids, thats all I'm saying.

p-o-e-t-r-y

who likes poetry? ha, meeee! :D but actually i have another class with ms. s and its creative writing..and we just started talking about poems and such. and i really think that if ms. s sang all the crap that we have to read in this class, things might be a little more interesting..just a thought.

Let's try that one more time.

Grrr the dial-up internet won't let me post that video...
So here's link for anyone that wanted to watch it!
It's pretty awesome.

King Arthur Dance :)

So I was re-watching old So You Think You Can Dance episodes and there was this awesome break dancing duet that was based on King Arthur and the sword in the stone. Yeah, I just thought it was cool and it made me think of OFK so I decided to share it with y'all. Enjoy!

Rape of Lock

This poem made me feel so DUMB! Not because I spent a great amount of my time reading a story that consisted of a woman playing cards, losing, getting part of her hair cut off, choas, and then a star coming down from the heavens to let the hair live eternally in the bliss of the universe... but because they made the humor so COMPLEX. Stariha said that we watch south park, and then they read this. We ARE DUMMMMMB! The way they described the card game sent me near chills. A war of wits displayed with cards, explained in greattttt detail. Incredible, annoying, but incredible.

Rape of the Lock?

So this was very....pointless. Not that I didn't learn anything from it, but that the concept of the story was stupid. It made some good points, but went into extreme simplicity to get them across...I mean, a game of cards and some hairs? Come on. haha
