Blog Assignment 3

This image can be taken in many different ways. The three main characters each represent something that we may not necessarily think about at first glance. The young woman would normally represent purity within her high social class, being as she is white and has nice clothing on. Yet, because her dress contains the color red and green, she also represents impurity and envy. She is not the girl that she appears in society. The dragon in the photo represents evil and lust. The dragon has matching colors in its wings to that of the young woman's dress. This could mean that the dragon was attached to her in a way that was "inappropriate" and "evil". The knight represents the chivalry that was still alive in this era. He was trying to court the woman, but the evil of the dragon was standing in his way. This is why he tried to kill the dragon. The knight thought that if he could get to to the woman through the evil they could live happily ever after, even with her impurities. The whole picture is the natural battle between good and evil that is fought every day.

this week.

This week has been good. BIRTHDAYS are awesome! I cannot believe that I am 17 already, because it seems that it was only yesterday that I was still a little kid playing in the dirt. I used to think that 17 was so old, but now that I have reached it, it doesnt seem that way anymore. 17 is not the most important age, the only "special" thing you get is being able to go to R rated movies, which isn't to shabby. I will also soon be able to LEGALLY drive people, which is also kind of exciting. Growing up is pretty awesome..but also scary. I have been talking to friends lately and it seems like every conversation is about college, which honestly scares me. I mean, who in the world knows what they want to do with the rest of their lives at 17? Well, especially in my case, being in honors and all, EVERYONE knows already. This kind of makes me feel inferior, but I want to find myself before deciding on a career. I want to love my job. Having a birthday made me realize that these decisions aren't near as far away as I think.
I also got nominated for homecoming court this week, an AWESOME honor. I am so gald I have the oppritunity to even be on the ballot. I also made the decision to run for class president. LETSDOIT2012!!! :) I am very excited to do great things for the junior class, it is important thay we have good leadership. This week has been very good, I hope things only get better!

I spend a lot of time on facebook...just to say,

Maybe I will delete my account one day.

I have brown hair and brown eyes that shine bright.

I should really go to bed earlier at night.

I normally though don't do this because I am talking to my friends I made this summer,

Yeah. :)

"Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened."-Dr. Seuss

^^That is the quote I have had to live by for the past couple of days. I have come to the realization that I can not live in the past, and that everything happens for a reason. I can not live thinking about how things could have been different, or if it would have happened at another time things would have worked out. You cannot live in the past, you must live in the present. It seems as if sometimes we really miss what we have had before, but we have to move forward and learn from the past. Also, we gotta realize that we gotta look at the positives in every situation, and keep on smiling! That is my little bit of optimism for the day. I have been told I am a ray of sunshine. ;)


Anyway, besides that...I should have done this earlier this week, but i honestly forgot about my blog this past week. It has been long, tiring, sad, and just rough. I am so glad I had my game and my birthday to look forward to. AND! Alpharetta next weekend to see Danielle. My bestesest drum major camp friend EVER. It's is gonna be rocking awesome. Hopefully I will get to see my friend Jackon as well. EPICNESS will occur over the next few days and weeks. :)

School Days.

It sometimes seem like school is pointless, and that is true in certain cases. Especially this past week as two of my teachers were away at a leadership conference. In Mr. Parker's literature class we began analyzing and reading the prologue of Canterbury Tales. The way that the characters are set up and the descriptions are very vivid and interesting. We as readers get to know the charcters from their descriptions, rather than from their actions as in most stories that we are used to. This is a very interesting characteristic of the novel. In math this past week we had to listen to Ms. Heath teach through the smart board and aural lessons. It was quite awkward, but kind of easier to follow, as the lesson seemed to be broken down more. I am excited to see what both of them will bring back to the classroom after being away at the conference, as Mr. Parker has already said that there were many great things to come. :)

10 more days!

In 10 days i will be 17! Whoa, that is a crazy thought! I am getting old. ;)

I can truly say though that 16 was truly sweet. I have met so many amazing people this year, completed so many goals, and also found out allot about myself. I have grown up this year, which is something that is important to me. Hopefully 17 will be just as AMAZING and OUTSTANDING as 16 was. :)

Side note, this past weekend was AMAZING. I went to the Georgia vs. Louisiana at Lafayette game in Athens. Though my seats were up in the stratosphere it seemed like, the experience of Sanford Stadium is like no other. Roughly 90,000 people screaming and cheering on our Georgia Bulldogs to a victory over another team. Another bonus is that my brother just happens to be the drum major for the Redcoat Marching Band, one of the most prestigious positions in collegiate marching band. Even more of a plus, I had the opportunity to see my best friend from Alpharetta, Georgia, Danielle. She is the drum major there and one of the awesome people i met this year. :) The game was a great experience, hopefully there will be more opportunities to go later on this year!

Also, I might as well throw in here that I have realized that is IS possible to be close to someone that lives far away. I did not realize that until this week. Things change, people in general, do not. Thank you Kaelan, Danielle, and Jackson for proving this to me. You guys ROCK. :)

Blog Assignment 1

Beowulf and Grendel are both characters in literature. Each of them have their own stories about certain events that occurred between them. If ever an event occurs between two people, there are three sides to the story. What one person says happened, what another person says happened, and what really happened. We see this statement play out within our reading of both perspectives of the heroes of their own novels.

In Beowulf, we read about the cocky character of Beowulf, an epic hero of sorts that boasted about his recent achievements in killing other monsters that had been causing problems. The monster that Beowulf was to fight was Grendel, who had according to the Danes been lurking around their land causing trouble and trying to kill them. When Beowulf heard of this monster he left his own land and crossed the sea to save Hrothgar and the Danes. Within our reading though, we do not hear the opinions of Grendel, we only hear one side of the story. Which sometimes is never as clear cut as it may seem.

In Grendel on the other hand, we realize that Grendel is a sad soul. He is the only person of his kind existing in the world. He is lonely and has no one to talk to about his thoughts and feelings of growing up in the era that he is. His mother is his only support system, yet, she can only seem to make random sounds, as she is so old that she has lost her sense of language. Grendel always seemed to keep his cool throughout his own novel. He would watch the Danes, and they annoyed him that they killed things just to eat them. He seemed to be very intelligent, something that Beowulf did not know. Grendel had certain reasons for wanting the Danes gone, yet, Beowulf just wanted to again be the "hero".

When Grendel and Beowulf fought, of course Beowulf was the winner in both novels. Yet, in Beowulf, it is stated that Beowulf beat Grendel with hardly a fight, and that the monster went down. Yet, in Grendel, Grendel states that he actually slipped, and that is when Beowulf was first able to capture his hand. So, both characters experienced the same thing, and told the same story, but the reader was obviously not there to see it. We have to choose what side to believe, or which side is more true. This decision though, is all up to the imagination of a reader that gets lost in time and the paper of a novel or two.
