Dante a Capito

Dante without a doubt has changed after walking through the inferno, watching the sinners’ punishment is enough for him to change, not to mention seeing Lucifer. If we do close reading on this text in canto 34:
I raised my eyes, believing I should see
the half of Lucifer that I had left;
instead I saw him with his legs turned up;
and if I then became perplexed, do let
the ignorant be judges-those who can
not understand what point I had just crossed.
We are able to see his fear of hell and how now he is determine not to come back. He states that he was once ignorant and confused (like we the readers are), but having that experience is enough to say that he now understands what he has to do and how to acting thought the remaining of his life: to never come back. Dante hopes to in light us with his knowledge for us not to be confused or ignorant like he once was, but for us to understands how he now understands himself.

Walking Through Utopia

Go to the field were people are filled with bless,
Here we will meet near a sea of white willows,
Were we will reach for each other and start to press.

You will soon hear the sound of the wind billows,
and we will come to a place filled with beds,
please rest in the bed of yellow pillows.

While we sleep we will be surrounded of gems,
gems of all colors and sizes and very bright,
carful when picking them, do so by their stems.

Flipside

Hate turns into love, war turns into peace, and this is what we are looking at when we are seeing this episode of The Twilight Zone. As the male actor says at 9:21 “… the only reason I can see for our fighting is that your uniform is a different color than mine.” But he doesn’t want to fight he is tired of it, he wants a normal life that’s why he returned where he had left here lying. She in fact doesn’t always catch-up to his intentions, for instance when she is given a dress to try on and sees the recruiting office posters, she gets the wrong idea and goes on to shoot him, when he was deliberately trying to send a message of change from war and hate into peace and love (specifically unity between themselves).

Alexa Says:
Not much just doing some English home work. You?

Mimi Says:
I’m doing the POW for math it has to do with exponents and like I can’t take it any more there’s too many rats on the island.
Alexa Says:
What POW? What is the rat thing you’re talking about?

Mimi Says:
POW number one, the one that there is 2 rats on an island and she has babies every 40 days, and those babies can start having after 120 day, then we have to count how many babies there is in total after one year. I’m like dying over here.
Alexa Says:
OK I’m so not doing that POW I know I’m going to flunk math just like I did last year so whatever.

Mimi Says:
You’re a piece of work I don’t know how you’re going to graduate less have a job.
Alexa Says:

Mimi Says:
I tried to last year but you’re impossible. You have to help yourself.
Alexa Says:
Ok then goodbye.

Mimi Says:

Yes They Can



For the last 10 years people all over the world have started to blog, I just discovered it myself. Some people have an addiction for blogging, which I can’t seem to understand. Most people I believe don’t have anything else to do (I’m sorry if I’m offending someone but it’s true). I for example have a purpose when I’m blogging it’s for my Pre-AP English class, but if you look at all the categories that a blog could have some are ridiculous in my eyes “confessional blogs, gossip blogs, sex blogs, mommy blogs… to name a few”. Sarah Boxer in her piece blogs gives very good examples of people who are writing these inexplicable blogs waiting to be “followed” by other people. Looking for fame bloggers misinformed people who read their blogs “there are bloggers out there who will do practically anything—start rumors, tell lies, pick fights, create fake personas, and post embarrassing videos—to get noticed and linked to.”All these confessional blogs, gossip blogs and sex blogs I believe people make up to believe they have these eccentric and fun life’s, just look at big time blogger Perez Hilton he lives with his mom and dies his hair of various colors. Respected columnist, reporters, and journalist are being replaced by bloggers “anyone with a computer and Internet access could start a blog”.
