Elizabethan Insults..HeeHeeHeeeee

"Forsooth, thou art a jaded rough-hewn hempseed"
Indeed, you are a boring crappily made nut.

"Ye dankish fly-bitten hugger-mugger"
You wetly unpleasant confused idiot.

"Thou cans't not be but a saucy plume-plucked giglet"
You can not be but a cheeky humbled frolicsome child. 

"Thou art a peevish bat-fowling ruffian"
You are a insignificantly irritated scoundrel who acts as though he is a blinded bird hit upside the neck. 

"Verily, ye be a gleeking hedge-born barnacle"
Certainly, you are a piece of saltwatered clusters who shall spit upon anything that is not born under the same rock

MLK-Comprehension

1. He can't respond to every critic's letter, because then he'd have no time to do constructive work. He decided to answer this letter because it had a "good will" or he believes them to be good men.

2. I think it's because of the holiday season. Didn't MLK talk about Easter?

3. He says the demonstrations are for, basically, reimbursement from a broken promise.

4. For them, in history, it meant "Never."

5. "Just" and "unjust" laws

6. ? -____________-

7. For their broken promises.

"Brer Rabbit" And my Confusion for this assignment.

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO!?!?!?!

Here is the post on Brer Rabbit...like the board said to do...because it is on the blog...and yeah.

Mark Antony and Tim Comparison C:

In Ellison’s Invisible Man, our beloved Tim gives a funeral speech for his ‘brother’, Tod Clifton, with no preparation or outline. He uses repetition to draw out his points that, one, he barely knew Tod, and two, he could only tell them two things; “His name was Tod Clifton, and he was shot.” This is what draws his crowd in…this use of repetition for what he doesn’t know to say, makes him seem like he’s experienced and planned out. The crowd eats this speech up like a moist piece of cake, and this is why most would compare his speech to the one Mark Antony gave for his great friend, Caesar’s, funeral. Mark also used repetition, but not about Caesar.

            Antony used repetition to voice his opinion, it seems. To voice that Brutus may or may not have been as honorable as he or others claimed him to be. To voice that killing your best friend, regardless of any petty reason, is wrong and forever will be wrong. To be taken down by someone close in heart is traitorous and despicable. The crowd soon turned away from the rights of Brutus, and back to how Caesar was amazing and good-hearted. Antony’s repetition more than likely caused some sort of doubt and hesitance in the people towards Brutus, and caused more love and respect for Caesar. Again, like Tim, Antony had no prepared speech, this was done with true emotion and care for a friend who had died for his cause, regardless of what it was.

            Both Tim and Antony were remarkable speakers; able to draw in a huge crowd with only words spoken with their voices, sometimes each speech was planned carefully, while most of the time, it was true emotion seeping through the cracks, and filling each hole with hope and adoration. 

Jefferson's Writing Workshop (:

              We, as one, should act together, stand together, laugh and cry together, yet, in this family we act as though we are built from different materials from other galaxies. We stand apart. Attack one another to the point we ride on the line of plain hatred and mental torture. We pick sides, or become traitorous bastards, maliciously endangering what everyone else knows for the sake of ourselves.

              This is my stand. To disentangle myself from this horrid battle of wit, tongue, and physical superiority. Though, I can't change my blood, or who I'm related to, but I do know that sometimes blood shouldn't bond people as one group, to claim the same adjectives in description.

               With this, I further remove myself from all siblings, and now believe myself to be an only child in the Britt household. Forever alone, and never concerned with the immature, vicious, and street-determined idiots I had to call my "family". Now, in all these years, I've come to grips that blood will never be as thick as water,  family is not Fam{ily}, or we'll forever be intertwined with love instead of hatred and jealousy.

-I'm so depressing sometimes. D:

"Jefferson Responses"

P&A

1. The whole purpose of Jefferson's argument was to point out the wrongs of the king and to express the opinion of those who wanted a new type of government. I don't think Jefferson could've done anymore to prove the truth of this argument. I think it was so well written.

2. By reasonably explaining how and to what extent the king did wrong, Jefferson presented his ideas and opinion in a classy manner.

3. To all those who agreed, to stand up with him, but for those who didn't agree, to persuade them that his way was right. The colonists, of course, because they were getting the short end of the stick.

4. Very effectively, in my opinion.

5. To show that he's not only trying to side with the Colonists, but to the homeland as well.

6. The very last sentence...I have no idea why he did. I'm Sierra Britt, not Thomas Jefferson.



S&S

1. I don't remember what page that was on, sooooo I have no idea?

2. He uses He, For, and other similar words to connect the wrong doings as individual statements.

3. He wants to do it word for word, that way there won't be any confusion? Like previously said, I'm not Jefferson. ):

4. I think he did a great job, because he's combining everything and concluding that the colonies aren't happy.

"Journal Entry"

To whom it may concern,

This article was very convincing, to an extent. The editors and writers need more details and evidence from that time to this time. Otherwise, this was extremely well written.
Please continue the amazing work.

Page 583 Patterns "Reading Images"

1. The headline gives a bold clue about the topic. Just from reading "Modern Science" and "Modern Politics", my interest grew from one percent to about forty. The ad does support the points, but I think it should have more elaboration .

2. The picture relates very well. I mean, it's about death row, and what would be better than a man facing his death? Not. A. Thing.

3. I believe it leans a whole lot more towards Pathos perspective. It brings in some sympathy because it talked about INNOCENT victims that died.

4. Do I really have to? O: Okayyyy, well, first it's the fact of Ronald Williamson getting released and proven innocent of the rape and murder of Debra Carter. Then the 23 other innocent victims getting put to death.
