Post 12: Tragic Public Figure

A tragic event that happened to a important person named Roger Parent, the Saskatchewan Party MLA for Saskatoon Meewasin who was recently diagnosed with cancer, has passed away. He was 63.  This event was so tragic for his family, especially due to the fact that he died by his family side. One of his friends  Premier Brad Wall expressed his shock and sorrow. "“Roger was here in the assembly carrying out his duties throughout most of the fall session and only learned he had cancer in the past couple of weeks,” Wall said in a statement." http://globalnews.ca/news/3097441/saskatchewan-party-mla-roger-parent-passes-away/. When it comes to the tragic story of Roger Parent I feel as if it isn't  a "classical tragedy". Most classical tragedies mainly  preserves the unities, and that wasn't too much done in this story.  ..

Post 11: Tragic Narrative

Once day I, Imani was just starting my senior year. I was so excited about all the exciting activities that were instored for this important year of my life. My senior yearđź’•.  Before this year started I'd already made up in my mind that this year was going go be my best year academically wise and was determined to be one of the first three of the top ten percent of my class! As the year narrowed down if got go the time where they were going to announce on the intercome the "top ten percent" of our class.  When they began to announce the top ten percent for number 3... it wasn't me!  A girl beat me by one number! I was so upset because this was a goal I had worked so hard for. Yes I know it's still good, but I had a goal.

Post 10: Comparing and Contrast Modern Epic Hero

As i was reading through each of my colleagues blog post about their perspective on epic here it seemed very strange. This was strange reading a lot of the post due to the fact that everyone seemed to have the same perspective on what they though a modern hero was. Which all seemed to share two of all the same characteristics which were "loyalty, and bravery". While reading Detaria post I seen that she classified "Veterans" as a epic modern hero. I honestly wouldn't have even thought about Veterans as being a modern epic hero, but I do agree. In my post i mentioned a hero having loyalty. Veterans shows that by staying committed to the quest that they've went on when serving our country, and making sure they got business done! Furthermore, I read Jessy post and agree with her as well! Being that most modern heroes are successful! When it's all said and done, everyone shared similar post in regards to their perspective on "What they thought a modern ...

Post 9: Modern Epic Hero

When it comes to "Epic Hero" they carry eight major characteristics. The first characteristic is; Champion of freedom. This characteristics is the first trait, which supports the idea of heroes fighting with the forces good versus evil. The second trait is; Courage. This is when the hero continue whatever journey or task they may be going through, after the fact that they've showed fear. The third trait is; Super strength. This trait serves more of a physical trait that helps the hero when it's in battle. The fourth trait is; Devotion.

This trait shows how loyal they stay to any task they may be doing regardless of the obstacle. The sixth trait is; Love of glory. This is when the hero began to start loving the praise that anyone may be giving them with rewards and so on for what their doing. The seventh ...

Post 8: Views On Wikipedia

The article I happen to choose from Wikipedia was, " The Wife of Bath's Tale". When it comes to this particular article that I've choose, overall I must say it was somewhat greatly put together. This article provided an insight on why this particular tale was written saying," It provides insight into the role of women in the   Late Middle Ages ". Also throughout this article one of it's major strongest piece of information that they elaborated on was, speaking about the characters. Whomever, wrote this went on and on about each character, their role, and how important their character traits contributed to this particular tale. Although, I initially stated that this article was overall greatly put together, one weakness was the incorrect spelling of words and also the word choices they chose to write this article. Words that were more challenging would've best fit this particular article.

Post 7: Romantic Love

When it comes to "Romantic Love" everyone has a story to tell about it, whether its good or bad. Romantic love has been around longer than anyone reading this has been living. Its the expressive and pleasurable feeling from an emotional attraction towards another person often associated with sexual attraction. When it comes to the development of love some countries developed faster than others. When it comes to romantic love and the " Wife of Bath " perspective on love, they share similarities. In the wife of bath last relationship she stayed with him through the tough times due to his greatness in bed, and didn't want to be without him. Whereas, romantic love traits are; separation anxiety, you like the things your partner does in bed, craving for them and etc. So they somewhat shared the similar perspective in many ways.

Post 6: Eroticism

As we know when it comes to the tale  "The Wife of Bath " , the story is filled with sexual content everywhere you look. The sexual things in this story isn't just about sleeping with multiple men at different times, but as well a relationship wise... Having different relationships and "relations" with people. Likewise, in the story " Metamorphoses "  in regards to sex there was a lot of "sexual violence". Not only were there violent sexual things pertained in this story, but human sexuality and animal sexuality.  A modern song that could relate to the, "The Wife of Bath" is "Love Em All", by K. Michelle. I choose this song because, K. Michelle and the Wife of bath shared multiple characteristics. One of hose major characteristics were as the tittle states... they both "Love Em All". This song can also relate to Metamorphoses. 

Post 5: Modern Approach

When it comes to the story "Wife of Bath's" I seem to have came across certain things that seemed relative in today's time. One of the things that caught my eye was her sex life. It was stated that she stayed with her fifth husband although he beat her. One of her reasoning for this decision is due to the fact that he was good in bed. This to is true in modern time. Nowadays, females stay with guys and vice versa, due to the performance in bed which is sad yet, true. Another modern thing in regards to romance is that she marry multiple men. This to is something that is very common in modern day time. Women no longer marry men, and stay with them "til death do us apart". Why do we even say this statement anymore?Does it even matter? Apparently not because, women and men go from guy to guy or women to women in regards to men.
