Hamlet: Response Journal; Act 1 scene 1-5

              The play makes me want to know how hamlet will handle the situation meeting the dead king hamlet. It made me alittle scared knowing that they met a ghost which is also king hamlet. Knowing how disgusted hamlet is with his mom's and uncle's marriage he listens to his father and decides to take revenge. I think this whole situation gets me alittle worried about what hamlet's actually going to do to his uncle but not his mother. It gives me goose bumps to know that hamlet has met his fathers ghost and wasn't afraid to see him.

               In my experience i think i was similar to prince hamlet that i would take revenge for my father who i love and not my mom who actually married my uncle even though its disgusting i would respect my mom and also take revenge as my father has said.
               In some ways i feel alittle selfish just like king Claudius, he only wants fame, money, and all lavish things he wanted. I feel the same at some points when i want something and i dont get it i feel greedy.
              My experience of being Horatio and Marcellus feeling scared and wanting to just mean it as a dream. I've had experiences like that where i saw weird things and decided to tell someone about what i saw and make them believe like Horatio did when Marcellus and Bernardo told him about the ghost. No one belived me but once they saw it they too believed. I have similar experiences.

           I would say his language is very difficult to understand according to me but i like the way he put things in a very dramatic way and how he actually made me feel i was there in the scene. His use of old english is very different like; 'tis' used for someother things. His scences are really connecting with each other and the way he puts things in the scence.

           I dont understand what things mean in specific scences like the time when Hamlet talks to himself after his uncle's and mom's marriage. Every time the guards see the ghost i get confused how they're reacting to the situation.

Spectator Sport- Dream World Outing

             *Yawns*, morning mom, morning dad, it's 7:30 in the morning and I'm all set to have some wild time. I look at the mirror and realize that I am in a big mess. My hair is not combed, I haven't showered, Im wearing my pajamas and basically messed up! Oh no! It's 7:30 and I'm in my pajama's, I quickly take a shower, tumble down the stairs, grab some breakfast and I'm out of the house. I had to make it on time for the van, I thought to myself. Friends were waiting in school. We made a plan to go to Dream World. I was worried i wouldn't make it on time since the given time was 9. I reached got on the van and was off to Dream World. I suddenly just felt butterflies roaming in my stomach, I was scared by how the games actually looked. I backed out for a minute, then a friend of mine knew i was terrified, so she calmed me down and I gave it a second thought to try out the adventerous games. Entering gave me this weird feeling of excitement and nervousness. People like me hate trying out new things or adventures but since I was with a friend who trusted me and convinced me, she helped me overcome some of my fears. "Oh my gosh!" I exclaimed. I just had seen this humongous ride which had  about 15-20 seats and went upside down continuously. My friends were all excited for this ride but me, nah uh this isn't quite my thing. My  friend elucidated  me to ride on it and she was successful. Sitting on my seat I sighed, "what happened Gur?" she asked. "I'm scared Ishita, I really am scared" I said. "Its okay If i can ride it you can too" she said importunely "Right" I said mediately. She imbued me. The ride began, it went up slowly, which got me even more scared, Oh my gosh its time to go upside down. It was amazing! I thanked Ishita so much for letting me have a once in a life time experience, it was just how she extricated my fears . I really enjoyed my day out with my friends and felt so stupid to be scared for a simple ride like that.

Having a tough time..

Heyu there..grade 10 getting tough each day as it goes on. I'm glad it's going tough so i can learn things and work as hard as possible. Honestly i'm not quite liking this school year so far, it's pretty boring but i believe it will get better as we pass through the quarters. I'm having a tough time with a few subjects such as physics, geometry and a few others, but i'm ok with them. I'm enjoying English class because we have been doing different things every time we get in class and hope this excitement goes on. Today in English we did vocabulary like we do every Monday it got easier than last time we did it because we got concept of it and knew the steps of doing it. Last year's English class, we had 30 words in  2 weeks this time its 60 in a week or 2 weeks? But its good in a way because we get to learn more and new words..well..burbyee ill b bak!! :P
