Wow, this reading has left me quiet confused about everything. Ros and Guil sound like complete idoits to me right now. “We cross our bridges when we come to them and butn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memore of the smell of smoke, and a persumption that once our eyes watered” wow you cant realy say anyhting this sounds stupider then this. I dont understand these to men, they are absolutly crazy, its amazing.

Throughout the whole reading they act stupid as some retarded people, at one point guil confuses himself somemuch that he confuses me. On page 50 he talks about the son rising in every direction, i dont get it, what are they trying to figure out? where they came from, if some why are they saying so many things to confuse everyone about it all. why cant they just say the way that they came in and stop argueing about it. I guess that if they didnt burn there brigdes behind them then they would truely know where exactly they have come from.

On page 66 they say it themselves, they truely dont really know anything thats going on. Guil says, “but we dont know whats going on, or what to do with ourselfs.” wow yall are so stupid. I guess thats they charactor they are playing?????? help im confussed.

WOW, finally I start seeing how this book is really related to Hamlet, in these pages Ros and Guil have a conversation that is pretty much the exact one that is in Hamlet in Act 2. When i wrote the blog about the first 35 pages i didnt see anything about Hamlet at all and finally i can see clearer now the rain is gone. I can also see a hug difference in Rosencrantz from te firs reading. In the first reading he was a calm and collective young man, but in the second reading he like turned stupid.

Back to all the mood swings in the second reading, I think that the swings were an atempt to cheer Hamlet up. Remember that after all one of the main reasons for there hire was to cheer Hamlet up, and I think they are doing a great job at it.

The first think that pops in my mind about this is the fact that we were told that Rosencrantz and Guilderstern is connected to the book Hamlet, but for some reason in the first 35 pages you do not hear from or even hear about him. One of the main characters named Guilderstern is crazy in my mind, something is wrong with his head. In one part he talks about colors and that blue, red and green are the real colors and that yellow is just a mystical experience shared by everyone. This man is truely mentally retarded.

I dont really understand the whole gambling thing throughtout the first 35 pages, guilderstern and rosencrantz a playing a coin game gambling on weather or not it is heads or tails? i dont get why somone would want to do that, and why would you not stop after loosing like 20 times in a row?

Im not going to lie, i do not know a hole lot about drama except for the fact that it is a form of acting. When i hear the word drama it makes me think of two or more people having problems with there friendship or relationship. Other then that i am completely blank about this word drama. I am sure that throughourt the week we are going to learn more about drama and what it really is. I cant wait to get back to class and learn about this is seems like somthing i will like alot.

I thought all the presentations were pretty good. But there was always a couple of things that each group could have done. Like the Franklins group she have not let Landon leave for his gold match. They did the best in my mind and i think they should get the best grade in the class. The Miller group did really good, but there was alot of arguing and confusion that they could have fixed if they would have practiced to presentation more.

Next you had the great group of the wife of bath. They did awesome, if was not in the franklin group i would have said thiers was the best, they did of the limit of stuff to do, great job. The final but certainly not least was the Pardoner group, they did great but i forgot what all happened haha sorry.

Janie dont get to nervous, there is nothing to be scared about when you present. you did good.

Franklin = Arveragus. Arveragus leaves his love Dorigen and goes to a knights challenge, while away Dorigen meets a handsome man named Aurelius. Dorigen tells Aurelius that she will love him with all her heart if he clears all the rock from america. He does and Dorigen tell her husband and he say that she should keep her word and not lie. Aurelius decides to be nice and call of the deal.

Miller = Nicholas. Nicholas tricks John into thinking that there is going to be a great flood again so john sleeps in the bath tube ready to float with the water. The flood doesnt come nicholas just lied to sleep with Alisoun. Alisoun and nicholas trick alot and nicholas pays for it in the end.

Wife of Bath = Wife. The wife goes through life marrying guy just for money and on her 5th husband she marries cause she loves him. “money is the root of all evil” All her first 4 husbands were older and rich, she didnt love them they were not controling. Her last husband was young and not so paid, she marries him for love, hes contoling.

Pardoner = The priest. The priest preaches about not being greed yet he tells a story that reflects his true thoughts. His story is about 3 men finding money, they send the youngest into town to get wine and bread to celebrate and he poisons 2 of them to kill the other 2 men. The other 2 men kill him to get a larger share of money, and then drink the poisoned wine and die meaning none of the men get money because they are greedy.
