AP Literature: November 2007
http://aplitks.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 07, 2007. Symbolism is used rampantly throughout Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. And tulips are one of the less discussed symbols. The tulips, quite simply, represent a Handmaid's menstruation cycle. Every time tulips appear in the novel, Atwood is describing what stage of life they are in. These quotes are ordered from the beginning stage of the cycle to the end:. The tulips have had their moment and are now done, shedding their petals one by one, like teeth" (153). Ordinary, ...

AP Literature: Shakespeare's Tragedy: Macbeth
http://aplitks.blogspot.com/2008/06/shakespeares-tragedy-macbeth.html
Sunday, June 08, 2008. Shakespeare develops this tragedy by creating a character who is struggling through the worst battle one can endure – one against himself. This tragic figure along with the bloody imagery, murders, and the dark tone from the start of the play, “ (Thunder and lightning. Enter three Witches. When shall we three meet again /. In thunder, lightning, or in rain? When the hurlyburly's done, /. When the battle's lost and won. That will be ere the set of sun. While a true man. Would have t...

AP Literature: June 2008
http://aplitks.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 08, 2008. Shakespeare's History: Richard III. My kingdom for a horse! Richard III has such incredible control over every aspect of his life, and even controls the lives of others around him. He has a brilliant mind and is master at using language and betrayal to his advantage. The only real challenge Richard faces in the play is when another young man who is good with words converses with him. Richard’s only vulnerability is exposed during his final moment, in battle. I also found that readi...

http://maryliterature.blogspot.com/2008/06/taming-of-shrew-passage-analysis.html
Saturday, June 7, 2008. Taming of the Shrew-Passage Analysis. Petruchio is desperately trying to break Kate and have her conform to society's standards of what a woman and wife should be; and, the scene where Katherine and Petruchio are riding into town and he is trying to convince her the bright sun they see is actually the moon is humorous but also alarming.

AP Literature 2007-2008: History- Richard III FINISHED
http://ssnickel.blogspot.com/2008/06/history-richard-iii.html
Tuesday, June 3, 2008. History- Richard III FINISHED. I love the little chart for this book with the little cartoon people on it. Passage- Act 1, Scene 4:. Why looks your grace so heavily today? O, I have pass'd a miserable night,. So full of ugly sights, of ghastly dreams,. That, as I am a Christian faithful man,. I would not spend another such a night,. Though 'twere to buy a world of happy days,. So full of dismal terror was the time! What was your dream? I long to hear you tell it. As we paced along.

Sunday, March 30, 2008. Since I haven't done one since the last blog assignment, here's a rant. I've been able to look at every single one and write an intelligent analysis of it without struggle. Now that I've had the chance to point out to myself that I'm doing really well with completing this assignment, I'm going to go do my Portrait blog, and then I will be done =).

Tuesday, June 3, 2008. Comedy- The Taming of the Shrew FINISHED. Passage: Act 4, Scene 3-. The more my wrong, the more his spite appears:. What, did he marry me to famish me? Beggars, that come unto my father's door,. Upon entreaty have a present aims;. If not, elsewhere they meet with charity:. But I, who never knew how to entreat,. Nor never needed that I should entreat,. Am starved for meat, giddy for lack of sleep,. With oath kept waking and with brawling fed:. He does it under name of perfect love;.

AP Lit: Macbeth-Reflection
http://maryliterature.blogspot.com/2008/06/macbeth-reflection.html
Saturday, June 7, 2008. This play is upsetting because you just cannot help but feel sorry for Macbeth. He was a man that just wanted to achieve greatness and become an admired and respected figure, but with the presence of negativity and ill-intentions he was steered in a completely wrong direction to lead him to that path. Macbeth had no idea that his future would be so dire, even with the warnings from the three witches, which parallels people that disregard signs that forewarn them of the people that...

AP Lit: November 2007
http://aplit1138.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 7, 2007. Last Blog, Handmaid's Tale Quote. Last blog. yes! This passage I found interesting, right at the end of Chapter 7. (Page 40). A story is like a letter. Dear You. I'll say. Just you. Without a name. Attaching a name attaches you. To the world of fact, which is riskier, more hazardous: who knows what the chances are out there, of survival, yours? I will say you, you. Like an old love song. You. Can mean more than one. I'm not in any immediate danger, I'll say to you. As D-503 t...
