PRETTY FLOWER ASSIGNMENT! BEAUTIFUL TYLER KLASE

1) The flower's Ophelia holds are imaginary. At this point she is a very frazzled and confused girl, having been split in many different directions by the people and feelings in her life. She is going, for less of a better word, crazy.

2) Yes, each person's flower represents her emotions toward that person.
3) I see King Claudius recieving the fennel because he married his brothers wife so quickly after his brothers death.  I see Queen Gertrude recieving the daisy because she had forsaken her love for King Hamlet and married his brother Claudius so sortly after his death.  I believe Laertes recieved the rosemary as a symbol for his to remember his father and herself as before death and grief had wiped it all away.  I think if Horatio recieved a flower it would be a violet because he was such an honorable man and a faithful friend.

4) Ophelia keeps some rue for herself as she is in sorrow because of her father's death and Hamlet's madness.

5) I think Ophelia does give away a Daisy. Giving Gertrude a Daisy and Violets makes a lot of sense and pertains to what Gertrude has done.
6) We believe he receives the pansies because she knows him as Hamlet's friend and knows he is a pensive, thoughtful man.

Movie Clips

In the first scene we watched, Hamlet was much more calm during the speech whereas during the second with Mel Gibson, there seemed to be more feeling or passion in his words.  The final scene that included Ophelia made it seem like Hamlet was actually starting to go crazy.

Last week we still were working on Hamlet and I'm assuming the same thing for this week.

We really went into depth on the "to be or not to be" speech given by Hamlet and we watched three different clips of his speech.

An insight that I had was the Hamlet was actually a little bit unsure if what he was doing was right.

Last week we continued reading hamlet!

We studied some of the rather less entertaining parts of hamlet but some of the most important.

Something I contributed was my desire for blood shed. I was reassured this would be fulfilled.

Why has no one died yet?

January 9th

Last week we began reading the novel "Hamelt".

We discussed Hamlet's emotional state of being and what he was going to do now that he knows his father's death was planned.

I did not know that Hamlet was so distressed that he wanted to kill himself.

No new ideas or questions this week.

January 3rd

We went over diction in a powerpoint and then we went to the computer lab to work out diction for ourselves.

I learned the diction is not just words, but how the author uses those words to convey his/her message.

An insight that I had was that diction can come in a wide variety of forms all depending on the author.

Hamlet Movie Comparison

The 1st movie clip of the ghost scene in Hamlet was extremely dark. Hamlet himself seemed to be quiet throughout the scene. There was alot of crying . The emotions where definately the focal point of this movie.

The 2nd movie clip seemed to be more modern. It was in a different time era. There was people with him when he first saw the ghost. It wasnt accurate according to the play. They seemed to emphaze the craziness of Hamlet.
In 3rd movie clip I noticed that the intensity of the characters increased. The setting seemed to be more focused on. They showed more scenes of the surroundings of the characters. The characters were not focused on. The actual poisoning was shown and they showed flash backs which helped you picture the past
