Literary Analysis "All The Pretty Horses"

1) The story was about three boys who seemed to ride the ride of trying to discover the answers to there "big  questions". The story starts with two boys riding around the open range on horses, when the two boys come across a third boy, a convict, is when there problems begin. Once the police recover the horse stealing, murder convict, they kill him. Sending the other two to jail. When the main characters friend is killed in jail is when u see him change, it brings out a different, more fight for survival personality. Once he gets out of jail, he loses track of time, and trays to sell a rifle to a police officer, ending him again in a situation in which he explains his situation, to gain his freedom again, which he does.
2) Theme seems to be, the people you meet in life may cause you problems, but they help you on a journey to find who you truly are.
3)The others tone seems to mostly be change of heart. Meaning a type of serenity or kindness. When the two boys finally decide to let the convict in there group and ride with them. The three boys begin to bond and develope a relationship, when the convict is being dragged away to be killed he tosses the other two boys his boot with a lot of money in it, and in the end where the main character takes the horse back to the person who the convict stole it from.
4) The other used tone, when the convict gave the two boys the boot with the money in it, it showed the kind tone of the convict. The other used setting, characters road there horses in an open plain area where, to me, it symbolized the amount of knowledge they seemed together on the horses. The author also uses conflict, the beginning conflict with the convict and two boys to help described there initial beginning personality with later change. He used characterization, describing the characters in different way, from different view, to emphasize certain areas of the character that change more then other parts of their personality.

1) Direct characterization was shown when the author described why the horses were important to the main character, they were important to his grandpa, and when he passed away they took on a new purpose for him, and when the author showed the real side of the convict, he started out seeming great, and trust worthy, but once he was arrested, his actual background was revealed. Indirect characterization was displayed in showing the two boys at the beginning of the story, how untrustworthy they were of people they didn't know by rejecting the convict for a while, and at the end of the story when the main character was more sympathetic and happy to be alive, by fighting in the courtroom to not be convicted, and returning the kids stolen horse.
2) The author keeps a constant syntax and diction when explaining character. He mostly changed tone in order to developed a personality of each character.
3) The main character was dynamic, and round, he completely changed from a rebel, type "I walk alone" type kid, to a kind, forgiving,  and happy to be a live kid who is respectful, slightly sad for his passing of friends, but is ready to developed a new him.
4) I felt like I had actually met someone. I relate to what the main character was searching for, a way to answer all his bigger questions in life, and watching him change, and find himself happy with changing how he did, made me feel like I connected with the character.

Notes on Hamlet

My thinking on Hamlet went from me believing he was a hurt sole who has just lost his father. To wait,  No he isn't, he is investigating his father's death, trying to figure out why his dad is still around as a ghost, wanting revenge upon his uncle, and wanting people to believe exactly what I began to. Now in this moment, of act 4, I see a person who knows what he should do, but confusing his worth of being, with his wants  and aspirations, with what's right, and what should be done. He is an enraged son, seeking revenge, with No path of emotions, just a thrashing wave coming down on everyone from 100 feet high.

Who was Shakespeare?

Shakespeare was a writer, a person who mastered the art, and I do mean art, of communication with people in a way where he would not only get what he wanted said, but also learn how the person he was talking to thinks. In this case, with all his sonnets and plays he was able to see how the people watching or reading, thought. He was genuinely an engine, for others to think.

To Facbook or not to Facebook

My first impression of Facebook was Oh cool, another way to communicate with friends from a distance. Now, it seems more of an irritation because of the constant notifications and posts that I get telling me how other people are feeling 24/7 and honestly Sometimes, I just don't care... Nor do I wanna know, that they have a new feeling about how they feel about there mother yelling at them for there stupid choice.

Remix

Now I know this is behind schedule, and I don't know if 5 will comment, but there is glory in the attempt haha,

Hamlet is a play about the son of a king who is murdered by his brother and then gets his wife stolen by the very killer. Hamlet now seeks revenge upon his uncle, but is also fighting the negativity and obstacle set by his surrounds people's feelings and perspective, as of act three, he begins to get frustrated upon himself for not chasing his drive to revenge his uncle, this started as a type of script for a video, but I couldn't figure out exactly what I wanted to use to show my meaning, I'll publish the script. Hamlet is a person building two faces for himself, one he is in morn because his dad died and his uncle is now taking his mom, on the other hand he is a bubbling fire pit of lava ready to explod on his uncle out of shear drive to get revenge upon his single nemesis.

Final

I did pretty close to what I expected. I did expect a little bit higher but I didn't cover over the most recent vocabulary lists when I should have which would have helped improve me outcome

Vocabulary Fall List #8 Hamlet Paragraph

Hamlet seems to be in a bit of a state of abeyance when it comes to trusting and being comfortable with his mom and his uncle. When he found out that his father has come back as a ghost he seems ambivalent about what he feels about that,  but is curious to figure out why, and what the outcome may be. Now that he is trying to figure out why his dad has come back, and dealing with his mother's new decisions, he is beleaguer considering his new tasks. His father is dead, but he still doesn't have the carte blanche that you would think now being the hair to the throne, he is being told what do and think and is lampooned about his actions and wants. Although he won't be malleable, he continues to stand for what he wants and has decided to do. At the moment he is opting to not continue on as prince. He is acting as a philistine who doesnt understand the culture. When he finds out about how his father died, it causes a cataclysm in his own mind, but in his immediate society, they seem a bit more careless that his mom is now hooking up with his uncle. Going around with his uncle seems to debauch the meanin of his mother and father's once marriage. At the moment he is not having éclat with seeking revenge upon his uncle for murdering his dad, but he is definitely imbued with the want of revenge. His plan of getting revenge still seems  inchoate. When he is told about sightings of his father's ghost he ask many questions showing fastidious in the situation. He asks several questions so he knows that it isn't  picaresque. Giving his life situation you won't be sing Hamlet gambol down the street because his life is under a lot of stress, and he is getting a lot of information about his dad's ghost. His nemesis is his uncle at the moment, and how to get revenge is the ultimate question. His father's death doesn't seem to make him queasy, just angry. He is being very refractory about letting his father's death lie, and accepting his mother and uncle. He is definitely able to
savoir-faire when his mom tells him to. do or be a certain way, he knows when he can and can't be defiant.
