Act 4

Scene: 1

So basically this scene is for releasing the spells of love from all of the people, which are unbounded in it. Titania dreamt of falling in love with an ass and Bottom had a dream of being an ass. Because Oberon felt he was being an ass (literally) he reunited with Titania and they danced. Thesues, Hippolytia, and Egus spot the lovers in the forest, while they were taking a stroll, and they were amazed because Demetrius and Lysander are enemies, but they are there together. They return to the palace to continue the special day.

Scene: 2

Quince and Flute are looking for Bottom because they are worried about the play because Bottom plays the main role. They are scared that they were not able to perform for the king, but suddenly from nowhere Bottom appears and they are able to act out the play for the king. Bottom tells them as a joke not to eat Garlic and Onions because it is not sweet for Comedy, and the play went on for the wedding.

Act 3

Scene: 1

We come back to the actors again who are practicing for the play Pyramus and Thisbe. Bottom has many interesting parts such as Pyramus kills himself with a sword, and the lion is frightening, both acting are sure to scare the women. Therefore Bottom needed to come up with something, which was announcing that the lion was an actor and he needed to show part of his face. Then Puck plays a joke on Bottom and gives him an ass's head. (Donkey) The actors see his head and they storm into the forest. Then with luck Titania sees Bottom, and falls in love with him because she was under the spell of the flower juice.

Scene: 2

Puck goes back to Oberon and tells him what happened to Titania. Oberon is pleased that Titania is being humiliated in such a way. Hermia is forced to believe that Demetrius killed Lysander, so she cured Demetrius. She goes away, leaving Demetrius to fall asleep in front of Oberon. Helena believes that Lysander is only teasing her with, and tells him that his phrases are sueless. She wakes up Demetrius, on whose eyes Oberon has applied with the herb. Demetrius sees her and also falls in love with Helena. In the middle of this argument over which guy loves Helena more, Hermia arrives. Hermia is speechless by Lysander's words, and also she does not believe that he could possibly love Helena. Oberon and Robin step into the scene. Oberon is angry about the mess that Robin has made and orders him to separate Demetrius and Lysander.

Act 2

Scene: 1

Well, basically this scene is about scam and arguing again. Oberon and Titania enter the act from opposite sides, and for some reason they start arguing about things. (This not suitable for some audience) They also start arguing about who gets the Indian boy, that’s when Oberon gets the sinister idea. He tells Puck (another fairy) so go fetch some flowers. The flower is called the love-in-idleness, and it also has a magical mysterious power to make someone crazy in love with the first person they see upon awakening. This scheme was made so that Titania will give in to Oberon and therefore forfeiting the Indian boy.

Scene: 2

Lysander and Hermia has been walking through the forest for quite some time so they decide to take a rest and they decide to sleep. As Puck enters the scene he is wandering around the forest for Demetrius and Helena, he finds Lysander and Hermia. Little as he knows about the two he is trying to find he sees them sleeping apart so he drops the flower juice onto Lysander's eyes. Demetrius and Helena find them and try to wake them up. Lysander looks at Helena first so he falls in love with her instead with Hermia.

Act 1

Scene: 1

Well, basically this is a disaster for most of the characters in this scene. As Theseus and Hippolyta plan their wedding, the bomb drops on them. It seems as thought Demetrius wants to marry Hermia, Hermia loves Lysander and Lysander lovers her back. So, in the end that means Hermia has nothing to do with Demetrius. They start arguing and come to this conclusion. Wait before the conclusion; they state that hermia must obey her father because he is the person, which gave her her beauty. Also it is mandatory that she obeys her father. She either marries Demetrius or she takes the painful way out. The painful way is to become a widow. They decided to give her enough time, which was at the wedding. Hermia and Lysander make an escape plan so they are able to marry each other.

Scene: 2

Peter Quince is a director of a band of armature actors and they are supposed to act out a play for the wedding of Theseus and Hippolytia. Well, while he was giving everyone their scripts and roles, this guy comes in and said he wanted to do every single role in the play. Guess who that was? Nick Bottom, what a foolish man; he said he wanted to act out everyone’s parts. This who thing meant one thing, which was as we know in Hollywood, "A Star". All the lights toward him, making the ladies shriek, and catching everyone’s eyes. Once after the big commotion died, Quince sends everyone off to practice and memorize his or her lines.

My Choice entry

I was thinking on what to write about my choice entry. So I decided to write about my choice entry. What should I write about? Something that is interesting? something, which is fun? or something I am thinking about? Something that is bothering me? Everything comes into mind, but what should I write about. Well, I guess I will write about cooking. I love to cook! Maybe a guy loving to cook might sound weird, but I love to cook for my family and friends. I don't know many ways of cooking things so I just make up my own. Making your recipe is very fun! The favorite meal I like to cook is probably breakfast and Dinner. Breakfast is probably the most important meal o the day, so I make a lot of plates. My best plate would probably be my scrambled eggs with Italian sausage, onions, and some other things I find in the fridge. I like to make smoothies or even the simplest of all tasks, the homemade cookies. One other thing I love to do is grill and roast meat or anything. It's easy to make and taste really good too! Well, the bad thing is that you slave over a hot stove for two hours and you finish eating it in 30min. I cooked over the stove, looked all over the place for items I can use and serve the hot meal. One time I made roast beef and the juice of the meat was very delicious. Medium roasted for two hours and coated with peppercorn and Hawaiian salt. With mash potato my mom helped me make. That Christmas was the best because of my roast beef and the mash potato, and some other things my family made. I have been cooking since age of seven, and still going on and love cooking.

Pesonal Question

No.1
Well, today I was sick, and there was nothing to do so I thought about my personal question. "What will I become in the future?" Was my question I thought for nearly two hours? I was thinking about it. Well we all know you can't escape from death because it's nature, but we something that pokes out is our future. Is it changeable, or is it impossible. God decided what we are going to do and it is impossible to change it or what is the deal? People think about this a lot, but no answer comes into mind! This is what really makes me mad. Your parents say you can change the future and anything, but religious people say god has it all planned. What is the deal? Either you can change or cannot change? Which one is it?

No.2
Why is it that all the time my parents say that I am able to change my future? I am not religious, but sometimes I want to say god arranged this for me. I can't change the future even if I wanted too. Sometimes people say that just to escape from the present and to dodge the obstacles of life. I think that people try to go into other people business and so; people would want to cover up and say something unnecessary. My parents bug me a lot, well mostly my sister, but I want them to mind their own business. I think people are meant to do things that they are doing right now. I wish my life were easy as my myspace name. Take life simple, which means to not stress out on the present or future, but to live the present 100% no matter what happens.

The Life in Podcast!!

Enjoy my podcast!!!

The Life

The purpose for this assignment was to attach our information, which we got from interviewing and make a story with fantastic realism. We discussed and watched a short video of fantastic realism. Our story will be recorded and soon there will be a movie presentation, which will go a long with it.

Waking up late on Saturday is probably the best. I love the Saturdays with nothing to do, nothing to bother you, and nothing to worry about. Some Saturdays are a day at the park, some Saturdays are going out, and some Saturdays are just doing things at home you would never have time for during the week. I have the best time during the Saturdays, they are just like a holiday, but come every single week. The best part is no school at all. I like school, but there are sometimes in my life, which makes me want to ditch school. Well, anyway lets get back to my life. I was on my bed thinking about the activities I should do this Saturday. Something weird happens, a swirl you can see but can not touch, a smell that you know, but cannot remember. The fashion unimaginable to people in 2007.

I was standing somewhere, but where? "Hey, where am I?" I asked a stranger, which was walking toward me. Something amazing happened, he walked right through me, and not a sound he made to reply me. Just walking as if I were a ghost. Impossible, where am I? Why am I here? What happened? My Saturday is ruined! I looked around, trying to find a way out of this misery. I saw an old building with kids going in. I followed this boy, just my age wearing a uniform. He was running, I heard a bell, and I saw him stopping by, to change to a pair of different shoes. He ran toward his classroom. Next thing you know a teacher grabbed him and made him stand against the wall. Asking him why he was late. I was watching him beat to the ground. I felt sorry for him, but nothing I can do in this world. I walked down the hall and saw him go into freshman class 3-A. I finally found out I was in the olden days of Japan, which my parents grew up in.

I fell out of my bed, I looked at my clock, and it was still 2:00 a.m. "Wait a minute, it was just 10:00 in the morning on Saturday. But it is right now 2:00 on Saturday!" I felt strange for some odd reason, but soon I forgot about what had happened. I couldn't go to sleep so, I thought about what my soccer practice was going to be like. I hated running long distances for my soccer conditioning. Right now 3:00 finally. Soccer was my favorite sport, so I could probably think about it for more than a day non-stop. I was thinking about my practice, stopping my thoughts, which were bad, and imagining about what had happened right now, before I woke up at 2 IN THE MORNING!!

I was dizzy, the world around me soon started to swirl around me. Hot, cold, and sick, I realized that I was in a gym somewhere. Pritty hard to imagine, but I was standing in the corner-watching girls play volleyball. I was confused, I thought to myself about the possibilities of coming back into the past of old Japan. I was thinking, closing my eyes, when I heard a slap. A girl was on the floor, butt flat to the ground. I actually understood what the coach told her. Something about running around the gym with a rope and a tire. She did what the coach told her, she tied the rope so she was actually pulling the tire across the floor. I walked up to the coach, forgetting I was a ghost, and unable to punch him, I attempted too. I tripped and landed face forward.

I woke up, and it was still dark. I was on the floor for some odd reason. I looked at the clock and it was still 3:00. Just turning to 3:01, I decided that I was going to stay awake until sun up. It was clearly impossible, I feel asleep again. This time I woke up, in my bed, 10:00 in the morning. It was Saturday. I felt really good that day. About lunchtime I was with my parents eating ramen. They were talking about why they had moved to Hawaii. They told me that the Japanese culture was weird and harsh. I asked them why, and they replied, "We had school on Saturdays, and if we were late to class, we were hit hard into the ground." My father said to me. "Also at sports practice, if you do something wrong the coach will give you harsh punishments." My mom said with sorrow. I finally remembered the pictures and what I saw. I closed my eyes, and opened them again.

I woke up, 2:00 in the morning, the day was Saturday . . .

My 2 posts for my new Personal Question

Background details:
The personal essential question is a question we wrote in class, which you want to learn more about or tall about. My first question was too personal, so I decided to change my question to "Can I, or am I able to change my future?" I will write down what I feel about my new question and see if I am able to expand on my ideas.

First entry:
I wonder if I am able to change my future if I approached a topic or a subject in a different matter. In religion they say that you were born to do one thing, which god/ the creator has assigned to you. But on the other hand parents and adults say that you can change the future if you try hard. I am confused about this because if we are able to change the future, that means that the religion is fake, or if the god or creator assigned you the future, which means you are unable to change your future from the start. For sure that it is unable to predict what the future will turn out like, but the two statements are contradicting them selves so I am a little confused about this question. I am sure that different people with different perspectives have different reasons why, but what is the real answer? I tried to think about the answer myself, but my answer was only going in a circle, so I am not sure if there both correct or if only one of them are correct.

My second entry:
I was still thinking about my question, and I found out that there is only one correct answer. For example, if you believed in the religion of god choosing your future the logical people are wring and that god assigns a job for everyone and there are no possible ways to change it because god created it like that. On the other had from logical people, there are many different paths to a future, which you can control by your self. These two explanations are just like a puzzle piece, which will never fit. If your future was already assigned you are unable to change it and if you change your future, it was never assigned from the start. I will try and figure out how this can work out together.

My Parent's Child Story

This post is about my Parents talking about how my life was different compared to theirs? We talked in class about this assignment agreeing that there is lots of information, which our parent holds. And it is very important to talk to them before they are gone from this world, so our homework was to talk to them about a topic in their life, which was very important. That is why my parents chose the topic about their child life and my child life.

"You are very lucky," that was the last thing that my father said to me about my soccer team. I asked him why, because I was wondering why I was lucky to be on my soccer team. Talking in the car, watching my father trying to explain about how hard the life was in Japan, and explaining about how now days the adults are more relaxed. My father sounded quit upset because I was not suffering at all. I was wondering why my father was pissed at me even though I did nothing wrong. So in the end I asked him.

My father explained that in his lie time as a child life was never easy. At a sport practice you usually would have been a ball boy during the first two years and then you are eligible to be on the team. If you do not cooperate, then the coach will either beat you with a stick or throw a bucket of muddy water onto you. He also explained that to play soccer, the kids shin needed to be as strong as metal. It was strong because my father and his friends trained their shins with beer bottles. They hit their shins as hard as they could, and after it has recovered the shins would be stronger.

My mother had the same problem as my father. My mother used to be a volleyball player. When she was doing a lousy job the coach would often dump water, which the cleaning lady used to mop the floor. With her clothes all wet she needed to run a lot of laps around the school. Even during the wintertime she needed to run around the school with a wet t-shirt. She said that the teachers would not hit the girls because they are fragile compared to the boys, but the punishment was equally as bad.

Compared to the punishments, which American kids get, the Japanese punishments are more severe. That is one of the reasons why my mother and father moved to the United States. The reason was that they did not want their child to suffer the same things that they had gone through as kids living up in Japan. So, that is why I am in the United States, far away from the Japanese culture.

Something, which is far different compared to the American society, is the amount of work the school gives out. My father and mother said this to me the other day, "You are very lucky, and you do not even need to go to coaching school after you are done with regular school." My parents usually went to coaching school for at least five hours after their regular school had ended. They got home at about ten or eleven in the night, and after that they need t do their homework. That was their high school life in Japan.

My regular life in the high school is, starting school at 8:30 and ending at the latest of 3:30. Then I go home to do my homework. That is a difference of at least six hours of going home. Also in Japan there were train rides, which are at least one hour long because the roads are crowded and the parents do not want to drive. My Father had a My-life-was-so-difficult look on his face, which implied that he wanted me to feel bad because my life is easy compared to his. Those were the main differences between my high school life and my parent’s high school life.

Intro

I would think the purpose of a Blog is to enhance a person's writing by many ways, such as different styles of writing. My video clip I will try to install will show metaphorically that there are different ways of doing a task. Probably the possible way a blog can help is that there are many people, which are going to read our writing so, that may also allow us to copy and use different ways of styles. That is probably I would think as the main reason for this blog.

Enjoy!!!

This clip shows that there are two types of soccer players, one which is strength and the other of being a skillful player. This clip shows that in one subject, there are many ways of preforming. I think that a person's writing has a different style compared to any other person. I think that the blog makes it possible to look at someone else's work, which will help you make the best style of writing, which suites you the most.
