ANTIGONE...part 2...

OMG how many times can 3 different people die.  My goodness the first book 2 people die then in the third book 3 people die.  Another thing that I noticed that was the same both of them is that the kings end up banishing themselves after fulfilling the prophecy.  It kind of gets annoying.  This book was very dramatic compared to Oedipus the King.  Even though Oedipus jabbed his own eyes out then banishes himself.  Also, I noticed that Antigone kills herself the same way Jocasta kills herself, I thought that was interesting.  One more thing that I had noticed was that some one always ended up telling the Chorus that the people were dead and the Kings ended up seeing people that they love die right on front of their eyes, to me I think I would want to do what they did.  That is all I have to say about Antigone today.

ANTIGONE...

" The burial of our brothers, Ismeme!  Creaon has decreed that the one may be buried in all honours  while the other is not to be buried at all but be shamed.  They say Creon has buried Eteocles in all proper burial rites and ceremonies fully preparing him for the world blow, while our other brother, Polyneices, who died a death just as horrible, should be left unburied and unmourned!  left alone, to be food for the starving ravens of the sky who eagerly look out for us two, Ismene!  For you, Ismene and for me.  Yes, even for me!  They say he's about to come of palace any minute now to make this declaration for all those who haven't herd it before and to make it clear to them.  And he's not taking the declaration lightly, either!  Because if someone dares to disobey it, he'll have death by public stoning to look forward to!  And that's how things stand at the moment and you, Ismene, you have to show the true worth of your birth: are you worthy of it or will you shame your lineage? "

This quote shows a lot about Antigone has her mind set out to what she wants.  She is a kind of person that does things that feel right to her.  She kinda doesn't care what happens to her if she does what she think is needed to do.  When she doesn't get the way that she wants, she makes the people feel bad for what they said no to.  It seems like she knows what she is talking about, but doesn't all at the same time.

Little kids...

Some little kids can be a  big pain in the butt.  But for some reason you always want to play with them all the time.  Some can be very evil, but so cute at the same time.  I know this from 4 nieces from one sister. Another niece and one nephew from my other sister. Then I have cousins that I rough house with constantly.  Then I volunteer at the YMCA in the Kids Korner and the little kids there I have to be more careful with but have as much fun with them.  They can chase you for hours without getting tired, it's AMAZING.  I love to see a kid there that is learning to do something and then you help them fulfill what they were trying to do, it is the most amazing feeling ever.  And this is what I have to say about kids for today.

4th period..................ggggrrrrrrr

I am so frustrated with her all day today.  She said things that were wrong to many students.  She never wanted to listen to what people were trying to tell her.  All it seemed like she was discriminating against some of the students in Honors Chemistry. But some of the time I could understand where she was coming from, but he could have taken a different direction towards the class.  Many of the kids in the class felt like she was being very unreasonable, and I was one of them.  She was doing many things that were mean and rude.  I did why she was yelling at us she needs to learn on how to talk to teenagers more.  I am not saying that she isn't a bad teacher, but she does yell at us a little too much.  But what can one person do?

oedipus....yeah!

This book is weird and good at the same time.  At first you wouldn't know anything that is going on.  Just recently I figured out what was going on.  It is getting really good.  These characters are really crazy when it comes to certain things.  Sometimes it seems like they are all hypocrites when it comes to other things.  When I finally pieced everything together after reading half of the book, everything that they wanted to prevent from happening was really happening.  I was confused at first, but it finally came to me.  All I had to do was think about it for a few days.  This is it for this subject today!

The Other Side To Things That No One Knows!

Today was a day that was the most intense day that I have had in such a long time.  Today is a day that tears were shed, never wanting to be shed in the first place, but it happened anyway.  This subject of being gay, straight, or bisexual can be very hurtful to many people.  But when someone said that being that way is bad, many of the people just started to be rude and not want see the point that she was trying to get across.  The person was born and raised by Middle Eastern people and Middle Eastern people have small minds and can never open them up.  I know this because I am the same way but only as the parents part.  I am trying to keep an open mind about all of it, but being raised a certain way and being to late to change.  Me personally it is hard to be raised by Middle Eastern parents that are so closed minded to many things.  My parents and the other person's parents are so nagging we have to think the way that they think so we don't get thrown out or yelled at constantly by our parents.  No one really knows how it is being Middle Eastern and growing up here, being confused every freaking day of our lives.  No one really knows or wants to know how or why we think the way that we think.  When someone tries to state their opinion, no one wants to know, so people make accusations on things that they do not even know about.  So the next time you want to argue on this subject with a person that grew up with Middle Eastern parents that yell at you constantly, threatening you not to talk to "these" kinds of people, you would be confused more than ever.

My T.V. Show for the next 5 weeks!

This T.V. show was really boring at first but then it started to get really good.  This show was starting to get interesting after the first season.  In the second season, one of the main characters and her name is Kasey. She has a big role in the third season so far because it has been mostly around her and the guy that she now likes and might have a long and lasting relationship with. Another main character that the show mostly revolves around is Capi.  He is the president of the fraternity that Kasey's younger brother , Rusty, is pledging for Capi's fraternity.  In this past episode was trying to figure out who a straight A student that was not supposed to be known about and Rusty was trying to figure out that if the anonymous guy was that is smarter than rusty.  In the end, Rusty does find out that it is Capi but does not say anything to blow Capi's cover.  This is it for today!
