My Personal Eulogy

Verses on the Death of Andrew Walsh

He was a kind and simple man

All he really had were his hands

If his hard work had paid his dues

He would not have worn out his shoes

If the universe lies on fate

He should be in a decent place

He wishes he had died at home

His fam’ly was his and his alone

If he was judged on heart and soul

His god would only charge him toll

Then again, it is still judgement day

So like the others he must pay

There were a few that called him friend

I hope someday we meet again

He and I are always brothers

There could never be another

He was the first and will be last

He’s the greatest part of my past.

Othello-Assignment 3, Due Wednesday

Idea's will always be more of a threat than jealousy. Idea's cause jealously, idea's caused the collumbine. Idea's are corruptive, ideas will eat away at you until the its the only thing to influence you. Your mind is a dangerous place, don't let it contain you. Love is more powerful, lust is more dangerous, if you haven't experience either you have no emotion. Like Peter explained brilliantly, many people miss construe lust for love. Present day, its hard to tell a difference. It is better to be loved not at all, when you are loved excessively you are typically over protected, and spoiled. And once you enter the world, without all of these things you are lost, and completely exposed. Where as if you had lived a harsher life, and experienced tragedy before, you will be better prepared, and you will know what to do, and how to survive.

Othello-Assignmen 2, Due Wednesday

I believe that othello is more tragic than flowers in the attic, because atleast in flowers in the attic the children prevailed. Three of the four children survived, and grew stronger. In Othello everyone died, there was no silver lining. My favorite character in Othello was Cassio he was the innocent friend who was betrayed by his peers, and people he loved the most. He was the only innocent one. My favorite character in flowers in the attic was christopher. He had complete trust in his mother, i tend to have complete trust in everyone. In Othello i am most like Othello, like i said i tend to trust everyone, and peoples voices tend to have an influence on me. Good or bad, it influences.

Othello-Assignment 1, Due Monday

I have a character who i've known for several years. He has many tragic flaws, which always seem to be his demise. He has an extreme desire to save everyone. He was always a trustworthy and loyal person, and he cared more about what others thought of him, than anything. He was always trying to help everyone and save everyone from anything. He eventually tried to save somone that didn't want saving, he got mixed up in the wrong crowd trying to help his friend. After being exposed to this clique for a long period of time he eventually began changing, and acting more like the people he was trying to help. Now he is unrecognizable, nothing like i once knew him, it was tragic. And you cannot save everyone, especially somone who doesn't want to be saved, you have to help yourself before anyone else can attempt to help you.

"Othello"

One theme of "Othello" is the dangerousness of Jealousy. Jealousy overcomes and is not something that you want to stir up. It can corrupt you, and will always cause you to act and think abnormally. And overtime it is evident, it will consume you.

My character is...

My character is an 18 year old guy who never seems to age quick enough. Cory is held back by his parents destined by them to never reach his full potential. They prevent him from making any desicion  to benifit his future and control everything about him. His parents are wretched they prepare him to fail so that he will not grow up and leave them. He has no plans to further his education, he is already very intelligent and does not have enough money to attend a university anyway. He recieves no assistance from anyone other than his close friends which provide a haven for him to escape from his family. He enjoys video games, sports and is extremely social even though he rarely has the opportunity. Now that he is finally 18 he is ready to leave home and see the world, ready to live. Now, he is free.

This character is based on a close friend i had before i came here to challenger high. He passed away just before his 18th birthday.
