Reflection on Act II of 12th night

I thought that act 2 was better than act 1.  The plot thickens considerably, with new romances being born out of seemingly nowhere.  I personally thing that the duke is an annoying ass, and should be smacked around a bit to put him in is place.  I can't wait to see what happens with malvolio and olivia when she sees how he is dressed.

ADHD?

Apparently, allowing ADHD kids to bounce around and dance in their desks in class is better for tier learning because it helps them stay foucused.  It would be like a caffeine of some kind for the kids.  Personally I think we should not aloow tis to happen.  It would be annoying and a distraction for the other kids.  If we subdue the kids they will learn that it isn’t ok to be distracting to other kids. 

 

Well, there it is.

There are some metaphors in the song that im gonna put here 

But February made me shiver,

Buddy Holly died on February 3, 1959 in a plane crash in Iowa during a snowstorm.The news came to most of the world on the morning of February 3, which is why it's known as The Day The Music Died. 

And moss grows fat on a rolling stone

It's unclear who the "rolling stone" is supposed to be. It could be Dylan, since "Like a Rolling Stone" (1965) was his first major hit; and since he was busy writing songs extolling the virtues of simple love, family and contentment while staying at home (he didn't tour from '66 to '74) and raking in the royalties. This was quite a change from the earlier, angrier Dylan. 

The "rolling stone" could also be Elvis, although I don't think he'd started to pork out by the late sixties. It could refer to rock and rollers in general, and the changes that had taken place in the business in the 60's, especially the huge amounts of cash some of them were beginning to make, and the relative stagnation that entered the music at the same time.

Or, perhaps it's a reference to the stagnation in rock and roll. 

Or, finally, it could refer to the Rolling Stones themselves; a lot of musicians were angry at the Stones for "selling out". Howard Landman points out that John Foxx of Ultravox was sufficiently miffed to write a song titled "Life At Rainbow's End (For All The Tax Exiles On Main Street)". The Stones at one point became citizens of some other country merely to save taxes. 

Basically this dude loved buddy holly and worshiped him.  which was actually pretty weird.  At any rate the song is pretty good and is very deep.

Population problems?

We recently read a story called "to be or not to be" which tackles the issue of population control.  although we prolly will never live forever i hope it doesn't go so far as that we need people to kill us when it is our time to go.  yes we are overpopulated but that doesn't mean that we need to be in a hurry to kill people.  i have no idea as to what we should do about population problems.   

School crises

I believe that the issue facing these schools is very hard to surpass.  Even if they somehow get the funding, how are they going to get students interested in succeeding again.  I hope that this Rhee character can really turn this bad situation around.  I don't know if it will be possible but we can always hope for the best.

As Always,

Mike

   

Executing retards is OK?

Thankfully it really isn't. But it almost wasn't.  Darryl Atkins is a mentally handicap man that assaulted and stole money from a man where upon he and his accomplish killed him.  Darryl and his friend where caught and tried.  Atkins was found to be "mildly" mentally retarded.  It was under state law that the executing of mentally retarded people is "cruel and unusual" punishment.  The fight was taken to the supreme court and in the end Atkins was NOT killed.  This is probably a good thing, for not they can treat him and make him into a better person.

American dream

This is an essay i wrote for English class

American Dream

 

Many people have a dream.  This could be things that they want to accomplish in their lives or tings that they so desperately want that they will do anything to get them.  The latter isn’t as extreme as I make it out to be usually, but it can be in some cases.  My dream is to own my own restaurant.

 

            My dream is definitely not easy to achieve.  I will probably have to go to a fancy culinary academy in the city.  I’ll probably go to the C.I.A. (Culinary Institute of America) to get good training.  Then I’ll have to find a job as a sous chef or something small to start off.  Then ill have to work my way up to head chef in someone’s restaurant.  I’ll have to build up my wealth because a restaurant is an expensive thing to build and maintain.  I hope that my dream restaurant will be located in Hilton Head, SC because that place is a huge tourist trap with a lot of people that have money.  Then I could live on the beach, happily, for the rest of my life.

 

            There will be things that want to come and take my dream away from the though.  These things are called temporary desires.  It is possible that I will be too lazy to work hard in school to learn everything that I need to learn to know all the recipes and whatnot.  Also I am a big procrastinator, so when it comes time to make a menu, I will what to put it off over and over again.  I do hope that these things never happen to me.

 

            In conclusion I believe that the American dream is not far from reach, but you cant give in and keep trying until you can do it.  If you trust in your own abilty anything is possible.
