reflection on act 2

So far I think that twelfth night is a good play. It is a lot more interesting than the things that we normally read for school. In the story there is a lot of things that make it confusing. One thing is who likes who. This makes it hard to keep track of this. Also the other part that makes it confusing is the language. It was written in a different way so there are a lot of terms that are hard to understand. The story is really funny though, and the no fear shakespeare with the translation helps a lot. Twelfth Night is a really easy story to relate to because there is always someone that you no or you that likes someone but nothing will ever happen between them. 

ADHD

Mark Rapport took a group of 23 boys ages 8 to 12. Twelve of these boys had an ADHD diagnose. I think that the research has an interesting outcome. Some of the things are positive and some are negative. If kids move around in class and fidget i don't necessarily think that they will learn more, but each kid is different and how they learn is different also. So, even kids who have ADHD may learn differently from other kids who have ADHD. If you let some kids move in class though that will make other kids want to move around too, even if they don't have a medical excuse. 

I think that Rapport's study was a very good move and that parents of children with ADHD should try to help there kids by using Rapport's method. Although, the tests were only on a small group of kids so to find out if it helps all kids i think that you would need to test more children. So, I'm not really sure if I agree or disagree. ♥

act one personal reflection thing

In act one of twelfth night it is just the beginning of the story. So far it seems very funny. The play was written a long time ago but it is easy to relate to if you look into. You can't just say that you relate to it because you dress up as a guy, but when you look at other stuff as in your in love with someone who is in love with someone else. This happens to many people. Some of the story is hard to understand because it was written a long time ago, though with the translation on the side it makes it easier to understand. I like the no fear shakespeare because it makes it so easy to relate to it. The actual story though is a little hard to understand even if it was written in present day language. This is because a love triangle forms. The love triangle goes like this Orsino is in love with Olivia, but she falls in love with his new servant Cesario. The only problem is Cesario is really a girl dressed as a guy. So Cesario is really Viola and she is in love with Orsino who also thinks that she is a guy. I think that its really funny that the love triangle it so messed up and that Olivia is in love with a girl but she doesn't know it. ♥

american pie song

I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck 
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck 

A hit of Marty Robbins in the late 50s was "A White Sport Coat (And a Pink Carnation)". In the song the pickup truck has long been a symbol of sexual independence and potency, especially in Texas writing. Jimmy Buffet also does a song about "a white sport coat and pink crustacean"♥

whip around thing for class

I breathe in for luck. Ever sense that day I need luck. There are so many people that I miss now. People know nothing about me. They don’t understand me. Right now you’re the only thing that is making any sense to me.  Cause of were I’ve been and what I have been through I know so much more now. I don’t know if he was a man at all. Coming up to me, and saying, “baby, why don’t you see.” You all wanted me to be happy, but there is no way for me to find happiness in misery. My faith in all of you was fading. I thought that we would be there with each other forever. When I think about all of you I get so weak, I try to never lose my integrity. We were all young when I first saw you. I am always told don’t ever look back.♥

slangggg

slang is just informal words being used.

in class today we read a story called the lesson.

it used a lot of slang that african americans used to use.

slang is used in every time period but each has its own slang words.

some of the ones used in the story were hard to understand.

a lot of the slang that our generation uses just entails taking away letters from a word.

many words that are slang now for racial words were perfectly fine to say in the past.

if people use slang to much now they will get into bad habits which will effect them later in life when they are trying to get a job and they are in an interview.♥
