Bosch "Garden of Earthly Delights"

this painting shows me on the first part is, the beginning of life with Adam and Eve, and how things started, the middle part shows me the earth being inhabited by humans and how they got along with the animals, and the final part shows me a strange hell like place where the people from the middle section went after a long celebration. and this whole painting is telling the story of how man fell.

"Chimes of Freedom" by Bob Dylan

the reason for choosing this song was not my choice and it was given to me as a task, and so the meaning of this song is about the feelings and ideas of freedom, thus the thoughts of this song is about what freedom should be, and I think the reason the song writer wrote the song is because he wanted to get out the message of how freedom should be, my favorite lines of this song is "For the countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones an' worse,An' for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe,An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.". and my reason I choose these lines is because they had an interesting flow.. 

Peter Bonde "Postcard From Bea"

the painting looks to me as if someone threw their make-up on to the mirror to hide themselves, and showing the world who they really are, it seems the person in the painting is afraid to show what they are to those around them so he hides away from reality and fades himself ...this painting is just showing what I think is as the hidden truth.

"Kenya" by CANT, Solange Knowles, Twin Shadow

I think we should have a fundraiser to help the people who don't have clean water, also we should make things to spread the word about get money to help raise money, and the song is pretty sweet it makes you think about what would happen if water became a hard thing to get and what would happen to those who live in-land, away from the ocean, ans such, we should all think about helping one and other to get this situation fixed so that we can have clean water to drink if anything should happen.....

The Pardoner's Tale # 6 & 7

6.) In the light of the Pardoner true motives, as revealed in the "prologue," why is the moral of this tale ironic?

the moral of this tale is people will die if they let their greedy emotions get the better of them, and as always when someone plans to do something to gain more by killing off someone that usually back fires, and instead of one or two people dieing, all three of them go leaving the reader confused...or just laughing at the stupidity..

7.)What if? if the Pardoner hadn't revealed so much information about his practices, how might the other pilgrims have responded to his tale?

they may have had different feelings to him depending on what he says, and the pilgrims may have not been cared or they would still have money, they would also have walked away laughing at him. so I would think.....

Arcade Fire "Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)"

Ok......well that was the weirdest 3-4 minutes of my life, the song was not as interesting as I read it, the lyrics sound better in my head that have someone sing, the video was pretty annoying just because of the person singing, but other than that it could have been worst...still a good song...

Post-Reading Questions for "The Prologue"

1. In "The Prologue", how would you describe the narrator's values? (hint: think of those characters he admires and those he does not, think of his descriptions of himself)

* the narrator's values are if he sees someone who is using their skills for the right thing then he will give them praise, and if he sees someone using their wrongfully then he will speak ill of them, or make strange or weird comments about them...

2. What impression does the narrator give you of the church in his day? Cite details from the text.

*The impression I get from the way the narrator say about the church from his time, is that some of the people who work in the church abuse their power to get the things they want, no matter the cost.

3. What might be a modern equivalent of The Knight? The Squire? The Pardoner? Explain your answers.

*a knight in our time is a soldier, and a officer, and for a squire is a student who is trying to learn something in school, after what he knows what is right, and for a Pardoner now is a person who sings the national anthem or just a person who sings.

4. Imagine how Chaucer would describe a modern day person. Write a character sketch of that person, identifying his or her social role or profession. Use paragraph form instead of rhymed lines.

Gandhi on Tolerance

I think He is trying to say that is, if everyone would study any religion besides their own things between the religions wouldn't occur, and I think it would be possible that all religions would work out together if they would all respect others beliefs, instead of trying to force others into a religion they do not see fit for themselves. the reason I would say that is because almost all the wars that are going on now, are based on religion.

Charles Bukowski - Death Wants more Death

I really didn't get an understanding to any of the 2 poems I just read, but if I would guess I would say that the poem death wants more death, is trying to tell us that no matter what situation you are in someone will help take you out, and that the person or thing causing the problem will be punished in any way possible. that is what I get from this poem...

Chaucer/"Canterbury Tales" Pre-Reading

I expect the story to be a bit interesting, but if it is not then it will be something to think about, and it might get boring in some parts and some parts might get interesting I don't know -_-....think about it the good thing about it is if someone is suffering then everyone else suffers, and a bad thing is everyone has something that will affect everyone...the benefits is that they learn new things about different places and culture, and the harm is that a race could die out...it can happen when some speaks and gets the people to believe him/her, and they think god told them to do something, and they believe the person who told them, and a way to prevent it is tell the people about what is really going on...

William Carlos Williams and the Function of Poetry

I think poetry is somewhat important, because people all over the world has a chance to tell everyone how they feel, and to show the things that they see, and the goals Williams has are still a good way to write poems, and the real true reason to write a poem is to get out the feelings you have before they begin to fade away.
