A little of everything

Blackness has always been assosiated with evilness, wrong, mystery, etc... Why is that so? In the dark, many things can not be seen, therefore it is far more dangerous and the bad guys are able to do treachery without getting caught. In the dark things are not clear and probably that is why they are not appropiate. The queen has black, but it is not refering to the literally meaning of being black the color, but black the symbol. The symbol that represents all those negative things. But why was this color assaigned to the queen? She doesn't seem evil at all...

What happened in November 5th?
"Guy Fawkes Day is celebrated in England on the 5th of November every year. On this date in the year 1605 a large group of Roman Catholics, led by a man called Guy Fawkes, tried to blow up the House of Parliament. The men were angry because the king had treated them badly and they didn't like it. The plan they had was called the Gunpowder Plot. " http://www.internet-at-work.com/hos_mcgrane/holidays/gregory.html
"The Gunpowder Plot of 1605, or the Powder Treason, as it was known at the time,was a failed assassination attempt by a group of provincial English Catholics against King James I of England and VI of Scotland. The plot intended to kill the king, his family, and most of the Protestant aristocracy in a single attack by blowing up the Houses of Parliament during the State Opening on 5 November 1605. The conspirators had also planned to abduct the royal children, not present in Parliament, and incite a popular revolt in the Midlands." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder_Plot

Quite an important day for England History, in the text it is associated with September 11th 2001, an act of terrorism. In which an important building or place was attacked. Both were for political reasons just like most of the conflicts there are in the world. Political or religious are the most controvercial issues. "November 5 1605 was a day that changed the history of England."

I don't understand what is a "plotter", is it a person who creates problems? or a person who creates a plan for something? Interesting termology. If I understand the word's meanig as a person who plans out a scheme, then for example Osama Bin Laden would be the perfect representation of a plotter. He was able to control 4 airplanes and make then crash into two of the highest buildings on earth without geting CAUGHT! Adolf Hitler is also a perfect example. he planned out to extinguish a whole human race, and was almost succesfull.

I find torture an infame activity, absolutly useless and ridiculous. Is it logical to make people confess a crime that probably were not guilty of, but were forced to say "I commited it" because of the pain they are going through. It is so hard to belive that today, they still practice torture. In Irak and in all those far way countries were war is the daily food. Amazingly absurd.

Jamesdom.

WOW! It was long and quite complex. About 35% of the words I was not able to understand. If I am not wrong, it is British english, which is very different from the American English, which I am used to. Nevertheless the language is beautiful and the word usage is splendid.

James' personality is very egocentric, he was condemned to be a king and since he was an infant he is so. Once he is assigned to be king of England his power rises a lot,along with his ego. England has always been a powerful country and in those times it was one of the most powerful. Today it occupays the 3rd place of the most expensive countries in the world. James is also judged when he sat in the throne. British people seem to be very arrogant. They give him a golden cup and treat him with luxury just to show off infront of him. Queen Elizabeth was also interested in the "good social class" of England's throne. This is why she kept on sending money for James. Probably James' character is so because he never had parents, as I undertood in the text his dad was never present or for some reason he was distant from James and his mother had died. The presence of parents, mark a difference in a person's values and morals.

I can't imagine what would it be to be a noble person in those times. It is absurd luxury and all the power is in your words and orders. Without a doubt I would hate to be part of that monarchy of hiprocrites and fake happiness. Freedom does not take place at any moment. I hate that kind of life. Since you have everything already, what is the essence of life? There is nothing more satisfactory than getting something that you won by yourself. Nobles simply are born rich and have everything figured out for ever. Boring, monotomous, and flavorless. I like the kind of life I carry, but I have to admit that I am very fortunate and many things in my life were figured out for me. I would like to experience what it is to be less priviledged and gain everything by myself.

THE AUTHORS

These translators are, according to the text, the perfect ones. They were able to make a text understandable for any decade. They took the skills of others and the art of language and converted it into The King James Bilble. Tyndale was a role model of literacy but was not able to be as good as the authors did, he was a helpful hand for them to get to that level of literacy.

The truth is that I really want to read the book because I did not understand the preface fully. I don't know what authors it is talking about and what The King James Bilbe is. I hope I get to meet the high literacy that the text is supposed to be.

CLICHE!!

The first time i heard the word cliché was in a song that I LOVE!! Hercules jajajajaja:

Who d'ya think you're kiddin'?
He's the earth and heaven to you
Try to keep it hidden
Honey, we can see right through you
Girl, ya can't conceal it
We know how ya feel and Who you're thinkin' of

No chance, no way
I won't say it, no, no
You swoon, you sigh
Why deny it, uh-oh
It's too cliché
I won't say I'm in love

Since then I really wanted to figure out what i meant, now I know.
Movies with cliché titles:

• Boys dont cry
• Do the right thing
• End of days
• Hero
• The Family Man

Spelling practice....

In the repectedly order.

1. where, wear, we're.
2. to, two, too
3. concious, conciounce.
4. led, lead.
5. their, they're, there.
6. idea, ideal.
7. than, then
8. it's, its
9. you're, your
10. advise, advice.

Consequences..........AGAIN

True it is that when you are warned, you should not fall. True it is also that we constantly fall!! The prohibitions are the most attractive thing to do. If your mom tells you "don't climb the tree, you might fall" the first thing that comes up to your mind is to climb the tree and see what happens. It sounds stupid but i don't believe that there is anybody on this Earth that has not done the forbidden. It is simply attractive. "Beware how you expose yourself to danger and put my happiness to risk." Venus warns Adonis, and nevertheless he goes on and does it! Funny how human mind works, ironically.

Hyacinthus died in an accident caused by Apollo, which does not mean that Apollo was guilty. He simply died. That is a consequence of living, dying, it is not difficult to understand and yet SO hard to accept. I discussed this in a previous blog. Death is a endless subject.

Ceyx died, and halcuone does not want to accept it. I now realice that almost all myths have that base, someone dies and the other, the one left behind, is not willing to accept it. This is selfishness. Once a person dies, you dry because YOU want him/her to be by YOUR side, to help YOU, to love YOU, to take care of YOU, to make YOU happy, and the truth is that this person is gone because he/she had to go. My father once told me that when his mother died, he decided not to cry but to celebrate the teaching and her love that she had left him. It is a wise decition of his, and even though it hurt him he kep the promise. DEath is and endless subject.

Is our will truthful?

Glaucus fell inlove with Scylla but she is ungratefull and scolds him. He asks Circe for help but she just scold him for being inlove with such a shameful maiden, he cannot resist his love and refuses to apply Circe's advice, “Sooner shall trees grow at the bottom of the ocean, and sea-weed on the top of the mountains, than I will cease to love Scylla, and her alone.”Meanwhile Scylla is punished by the goddess and becomes horrible. What is the myth describing? What can I interpret from the tale? Scylla is ungrateful for all the promises that Glaucus gives her and is indignant. I think that is a common situation, sometimes you are simply not interested in the other person while he is dying for you. There is no need to be punished for that, probably the goddess Circe was jealous, she wanted Glaucus to look at her and not to look at Scylla.

Pygmalion hated women. he sculpured a beautiful one in ivory and ended up inlove with it. Prayed to Venus for the ivory to become his wife, and so it did. He fell inlove with his own art and regreted his hatred against women, what does it really mean? That he is selfcentered? COuld it be that we just love our creations and not the others? Pygmalion obsessed with the ivory and treated beautifully, because she could not reply to him. He needed just some kind of a company, until he felt alone because he had no love back. He looked for the perfect women, which doesn't exist, neither does the perfect man exists.

Wow, fatal ending for no fatal action. Dryope did nothing wrong, she was naiive and ripped some floers with no intention to hurt anybody, but was harshly condemned to be a tree and give up her sister, father, baby, and husband! Life is unfair, absolutly unfair. We get punished for being innocent and the guilty are not punished at all. That is the way it works and there nothing to do about it.

Greed, punishment, misfortune.

I loved Mida's myth! The king Midas, as a wish after taking care of a contryman asks that everything he touches becomes gold. Unbeknown to him of the consequences of his wish. He is happy and joyful that everything he touches becomes gold but then he realices that he cannot eat and he is starving because every food he touches turns into gold! He is desperate and asks the gods to take the power off him. Midas then goes to a river and takes it off. How many people in the world are ridicoulously wealthy and are absolutly unhappy? Too many. A proof of this are the celebrities, they are milionnairs and most of them are in trouble, have gotten arrested, in rehab, commited suicide, etc... Nevertheless people still wish for more money, for more power and are still not concious that wealth does not bring happiness! Not untill people crash against the wall, they are smart enough to see it. The real wealth we should all be seeking for is mental wealth. To be at peace, to experience love, to be happy and satisfied with ourselves.
The second part of the myth is that Apollo punished Midas with misformed ears and Midas, ashemed tries to hide it from everyone but his hairstylist is the only one who knows it and is ordered to keep it secret. the hair stylist cannot stand anymore and goes to the mountain and diggs a hole where he whispers the secret that is them revealed to everyone with the growth of weeds in the same spot! This story was familiar to me. My mom once read it to me from a children's book but it had a different context, now I am aware where it came from; Greek mythology.
In the Baucis&Philemon myth...
Humbleness, society lacks this value so much that we have forgotten what it is. To be humble is to appreciate what you have and not brag about it. To be helpful eventhough you yourself are not in the best situation. It may also apply to a person who is very fortunate (wealthy, beautiful, ect.) and care about others anyway. To get away from the egocentrism, selfishnesh and greed and be the total opposite. There are examples of this people, quite scarce but they exist. Shakira is one of them. She is a billionaire and her behaivior shows the opposite. Her perfomances are barefoot, her dauly clothes are simple, her makeup is none, she uses no jewerly and her smile and talent are the only "expensive" things she wears. She takes advantage of her money, but for other building schools and creating assosiations fro the well being of the not so fortunate. That is a perfect model of a humble person. It is a value we should still in ourselfs and without a doubt we would be rewardes, jut like Bauchis and Philemon were.
Proserpine lost her daughter and is very disturbed, she makes a huge drama and cannot accept it. It most be horreble to loose a child. To have a son or a daughter is like giving up a part of you. You love them more than you love yourself, you care for their well being more than you care for yours, loosing it is worst than loosing your life. (brief analysis)

Jealousy. Why do we feel jealous? What provokes that feeling? What is the real reason for that feeling to appear? It is a confusing to understand, and very stupid, if you think about it feeling jealous is absolutly useless. People better than us instill that feeling on us, we envy anyone who has a better life than we do, why? We at least have a life and instead of feel jealous we should simply try to inprove ours and there is no need to blame somebady else for our unsatisfactory life. Self confidence is the real reason. When I am sure who I am, what I can accomplish, my value, there is no need to be jealous of anyone because I feel happy with myself. We feel jealous because we dont trsut ourself we fear to loose to anyone, to fail, not to be good enough. We need to blame someone else for our own fear. This is how Juno acts.

Unfair LOVE

Oh my God! I loved the myth of Apollo and Daphne, it is so sad but so true! I felt absolutly reflected in the myth. Apollo was stuck by Cupid with an arrow of love and Daphne with an arrow to repel love. All she wants is to run away from men and avoid love and marriage in every way she can. She is so beautiful and pretty that she attracks everyone that she encounters. Apollo is madly inlove with her but even though he tries as hard as possible she is not willing to love him back. He is one of the wisest of the gods, "Apollo loved her, and longed to obtain her; and he who gives oracles to all the world was not wise enough to look into his own fortunes." He could not do anything regarding love. It is the top most uncontrolable feeling, nobody decides who they fall in love with. Funny, isn't it? For me, love is the most important thing of live, along with peace and happiness. What is life without love? Being the most vital thing, we should be able to control it, but it is out of our hands completly.

This myths describes the phenomenom of falling in love alone. In the movie The Holiday, Kate Winslet talks about all kind of love; inconditional, crazy, distant, and the worst of all, lonely love. It is so horrible, unbearable. The one inlove does plans everything to catch the other one, the owner of her/his heart but the other one has absolutly no will to do anything to establish a relationship. Tough for the inlove person, and anyoing to the other.

Pyramus and Thisbe's myth is quite tragic. Reminds me of Romeo and Juliet, their love is insane and eternal and one commits suicide believing that the other is dead, and it isn't so, when the lover finds out the suicide kills him(her)self and both end up dead! Love is crazy, blind, notunderstandable, unbearable and mean, but at the same time incondicional. Operas are also like the myth, a tragedy, in which everybody ends up dead because of the wrong reason.

Cephalus and Procitus myth is so tragic as well, I am starting to understand why the Greek tragedies are the root of all other tragedies. It basically talks about the same thing, love. Jealousy and misunderstandings that lead to .....DEATH. Communnication is the key to solve all problems, the lak of it lead to big issues and complex trouble. Many realtionships end because of its lack, what is necesary for it not to happen?!

The different types of strengths

Hercules is a very known mythological character, it is part of every child's life. If you are stong you are hercules. In the disney movie, it is obviously modified and adapted for a children's movie. Form the original greek myth Hercules has to go through a lot of difficulties to please Eurystheus ;"Another task enjoined him was to bring to Eurystheus the oxen of Geryon", "Eurystheus ordered Hercules to bring him the skin of this monster." Hercules, even though a hero is never the most powerful. He was just the servant. In today's life many heroes are the ones that are servants, they simply please the one in power. Setting as an example Colombia, all the soldiers go through the difficult taks and beat down the "mosters" while Uribe just sends them to do it. what would happen if the hero was Uribe??

Dejanira, Hercules' wife, ends up killing her husband and herself because of greednes and jealousy. Sometimes impolses driven by strong emotions lead to calamities. Negatives feeling arre the most destructive weapon, it's control is very difficult and hard to manage. That is why it is always better to think and then act, there is a less chance for regrets.

Theseus was able to conquer the minotaour by using the help of the daughter of Minos, her plan was logical and not based on brute force. That way he triumphed. This is applicable to everything in life, brutal force is useless. The mind strength has much more power than physical strength. If you control your thoughts and feelings it is easily to manage your body to do wahteever you need it to do. Greek mythology usuall talks about heroes going through tough obstacles to reach a goal, that is why most of them are epics. The series of tasks are a represanteation of what life is all about. overcoming problems in the smartest way possible to be prepared to overcome the next one and so on and be the hero of your own life.

The origins of all our children's characters.

Medusa!! She is the mean octopus from Little Mermaid, she is gray haired and does everything possible to hurt Ariel. I was really scared of her. She is in fact part of Greek mythology, she is a Gorgon, which are monters that represent the terrors of the sea. Of course her characteristics are modified, she does not convert people into stone at her sight, but she is aterrible creature and does nothing else but harm to others, she is feared from everybody. She is finally dead.


Why is it that most mythology have the same characteristics? There are eternal enemies, extreme beauty (other adjectives..), death, punishment and death. The punishments that the characters, monsters, gods or mortals receive are way too harsh. For me the punishments that god, supposely, give to humans when we sin are harch as well, or at least they make it seem as the worst torture there could be. "You will go to hell and burn eternaly in flames and fire, without a day of joy!!" MEN! That's fearful.

There are also many names involved and a complex story behind each of them. They, I guess, are interpretations of the different kind of people there are in our society, obviously exagerated and overdimentioned. But they have the same feelings that humans do, like anger, jealousy, greed, and so on. They are a very important part of out history and popular knowledge. They usually try to give an explanation or a story behind the creations of certain things; the horse for example or the olives, given by Neptune and Minerva to win the rule of Athens.

Mr. Tangen, I don't see the point we should be getting at by reading these small stories. I am informing myself od the different mythological creatures and stories there are in Greek mythology. I hope we discuss this in class.

the mosters....!!

#12.

Confusing, I haven't really been able to understand what I am supposed to read... I read de 6 links of #12 and I am completly lost. MAny names, different stories and descriptions that have nothing to do 0ne with the other. Many types of mythological creatures have been named, centauros, cyclopes, sphinx, dwarfs, and griffins. They will always be part of our history, the are very important because they are entretaining. They have many stories behind and have been used to make a story more interesting, for example Harry Potter, of the Chronicles of Narnia. Dward, centaurs and sphinxes are part of our lives. We all know what they are but not really why they were created.

I really want to talk about it in class and discuss it with the rest of the students.

Nether World, no justice

It seems to be that Nether World is just like the world today. Not fair and unjust. Depending of the thing you have or in this case how many sons you have, you are treated in a certain way and have a higher or lower range. As Enkidu told Gilgamesh how was it in Nether World he described how the men that had 1, 2, 3, ....7 sons were treated. It is evident that the men that had more sons had much more priviledges, in today's world the ones that have more money have more priviledges, it is the same principle. Gilgamesh reflects the society that has been separated into classes since the beggining of times and even though we try to fight it, it is probably always going to be that way.

There is something else that got my attention, how come Enkidu becomes Gilgamesh servant and how is it possible that they can talk. Enkidu was supposed to be dead while Gilgamesh was alive. Since it is an epic, everythign is possible but an explaination is needed.

If I analyse the whole novel and draw a conclution about it, it would be that it pretty much reflects the society we live in, it is the first novel written and it obviously has a different way of looking at it, but if you think about it, it describes a lot of today's issues. Tyranny, the will of power and greed for more, the desire to be younger, the fear of death, the distance to nature (gilgamesh) and the endless war we have with it, trying to conquer it and rule it. The religion, and believes. It is a good novel, it is a little difficult to understand at the beginning but then you get the hang of it. Many subjects and doubts could be drawn from the novel.

The seek of an "eternal life"

Quite parodoxic. I would guess that if my best friend, my companion, my borther die, the first thing I would wish to be is dead, but not seek for an eternal life. I would miss him too much, I wouldn't be able to stand being alive without him by my side knowing that he died without being me able to save him! I don't understand Gilgamesh reaction, the first thing he goes at to do is to find inmortality! Enkidu's death freaked him out! He fears death more thatn ever and his egocentrism leads him to do everything possible not to experience it. Absurd.

Death, a very debatable topic. Some say that we ought to do well in life so that when we die we go to heaven, on the contrary we would got to hell. Mother Culture says that to us since the day we are born. We grow uo thinking that, the "eternal life" comes after this life, if you are good your prise is heaven, if you sin your consequence is hell. This strongly disturbs me. I coudn't disagree more with that B.S. (sorry). Why should be base our actions and desitions on an eternal life we can't even prove to be real. What really matters and is important is today, no more but today. Do the best today, what for? For today, not for a stupid "eternal life". The desitions we take today affects us today, and will affect us everyday, why to worry about what happens when we die, if we are living? It is absurd, but the most amazing of this is that a very large porcent of the sosiety believes in this. The only thing that is nto denyable is the fact that nobody can be saved from dying, is the fate that we ALL have in common, and nevertheless we keep on avoiding it. Everybody fears death, because it is unknown. What would happen if we didn't fear death? We would probably live ourlifes to the limit! Doing all that our heart leads us to without even doubting it, we would accomplish so many things. Death is just a disguise, we don't know the real of it, why to be afraid? The real fears that could be accepted is to reach old age and know that you haven't lived your life the way it should be lived.

Amazing how we can relate, today with Gilgamesh, it is so evident, hilarious actually. "How-The-Old-Man-Once-Again-Becomes-a-Young-Man in the name of the plant that grows under the waters."pg 79. Today's name is "Botox" !! It is not a very profound analysis, but it actually shows us that we haven't really changed that much. Our goal is still be younger that what we are, we are still scared of growing old, why? Why should we? We are not satisfied with ourselves, and wanting to appear younger is just a way of saying that we want a second chance to do the things all over again.

Egocentrism doesn't last forever.

The death of Enkidu was not to punish him, but to punish Gilgamesh. When Enkidu dies, Gilgamesh griefs and weeps, he starts admiding that the victory at the Cedar Forest wasn't just his. The fame that he so willingly wanted suddenly shades away and he realizes that taking all the credit for himself woudln't give him anything if he he lost his companion. "On the dangerous errand, in the ocnfusions of noises, he was the shield that went before in the batlle; he was the weapon at had to attack and defend." pg 44. gilgamesh recognices Enkidu's triumph and talks no more of himself. There are much more greater and important things in one's life than to brag, show off, and credit ourselves. Modesty is one of the most valuable characteristics a person can have. unfortunatly sometimes this lesson is learned by force. People have to crash agianst the wall to realice that they don't live in a world of one, but that there a many other around us that are as valuable as we are.

", blind, to the end of the seventh league, alone, without companion, seeing nothing at all, weeping and fearful, stuggling to keep breathing." pg. 52. I have a huge defect, I prefer do things by myself because I believe that I can make them better than if I do it with someone else, the fact is that I am wrong. I am no superhero, nor a perfect women, but an ordinary girl that as everybody else needs of the rest's help. Gilgamesh realizes that now, he is not a superheroe, nor "do-it-all", nor a "know-it-all".
Today, manu companies have decided that the most efficent way to accomplish thing in the best quality is by combining everybodies talents and making of them the final product, team work, it is the most important characteristic one should have in order to succeed in life, know how to appreciate everybody's way of thinking.

The death that will cause a change

Ishtar, the goddess becomes absolutly crazy for Gilgamaesh, but hhim not for her. This is typical, always happens, has happened to me and when one is rejected the only thing that one desires to do is to punish the man, punish him so hard that he would not ever reject the love of a women. Sometimes is viceversa. So that's excatly what Ishtar does, punish Gilgamesh, unsuccesfully!

What does it really mean? Gilgamesh is a valuable king, will not take advantage of a goddess, because he respects her. Ishtar represents a goddess without the values a divine character should have. She is jealous and impulsive, she acts based on her negative feelings. She wishes death for Gilgamesh, a person that almost everybody adores, the hero... But she decides that everybody had to grieve because he has to die. Goddeses shouldn't act that way, it laks moral.

Enkidu most die, without a logical explaniation. He most simply dies, becuase the gods decided so. Gilgamesh is left behind. When somebody dies the ones that stay grieve the most, they loose. It is a selfish feeling, we cry because WE ourselves don't have the person for ourselves.

The hero I should be

hero (brief brain storming):

A brief novel.

A women, pretty and tough but at the same time cute. Flexible and strong. Her heroic acts; leaves a mark on society. She saves the kidnapped people from the FARC (the devils) and rescues them before they get killed or hurt. In order to do so she has to gather an army of heroes that are willing to help her out. This is a long process. Everytime somebody is saved they go party! Since their oporations are succesful more heroes start joining in, and their is a traitor who is devil and his task is to kill the heroe (Violeta) and stop her from damaging the demons plan to kidnapp everybody.

The rough draft:

Violeta's must desired wish, was the end of her people's suffering. The demons' plan was to mercyless kidnapp and kill everybody who didn't follow their ideas, their believes adn rituals. Violeta was sick of the uncontrolled violence. She questioned the universe, she asked the all-mighty universe for help, for enlightment to save the world from the fists of the demons that everyday had more power. The universe replied, "Violeta, you may not alone accomplish your wish." Infinite universe knew the risks.

Violeta went out of her small cabin, she needed to find friends willing to help risk their lifes for the sake of others. A difficult taks she had before her. After days and months of a restless search, she found one person, a man, a friend who showed her the characteristics she had been looking for that nobody else had; strong desire to save the world no matter the consequences. Davidenko, the companion Violeta needed for a long journey of peace.

They take 4 years to make the perfect plan. The devils had in their hands already 193 innocent persons. They had to be saved. The fearful people didn't do anything, didn't want o risk their lifes. The truth was that while they stayed croossarms waiting on the heroes to do something, their own lifes where on jeperdy. Violeta and Davidenko made a move. With only they strength and powerful mind they went to the dangerous wood where only the demons could walk on, where every steo they took it gets more and more dangerous.

The meaning of our dreams

I have always wondered if dreams have some kind of meaning... Years ago when people where innocent and naive, they belived in all kinds of myths, stories and explainations of things. Gigmaesh currently wakes up in the camp he does with Enkidu complaining about some dreams and made him fear. their conclusion was that it was fortunate. Is there a science to study the meanings of dreams? I do believe it has a reason for it to go inside our minds and live as real as we live it when we dream it. In our mind, a lot of thoughts and feelings pass by, it is not possible for it to have a consequence while you are sleeping.

Huwawa cheracter could be related to the dangers of the world, the ones we try to destroy and fight them. Poverty for example, we have been trying to fight it for a long time and all we do is make it a bigger problem, create more of it. Violence, we fight it with even more violence making it a cycle of unnesesary deaths. Injustice, corruption, homiceds, crime. The authority, in this ase Gilgamesh and Enkidu, have teh responsability to solve the issues... and they crete an armor for their selfs, lies, an army in which the deaths dont matter to the kings. Things have changed, now there are no heroes, and the heroes are killed because of their wilingness to do the things most are not willing to do.
