Imani's Positive Composition Blog!

When first entering this course, and finding out that we'd have to be posting something called "blogs" I was very clueless. I had no ideal what a blog was or even consisted of before taking this course. During this particular course I've learned to love making these. I'm able to jot down any thoughts that I have and actually read others thought. Everyone posted great blogs but, out of all I really loved one particular persons the most. Kimitre Rhodes, "Four Verse Poem"  Post 21. This poem read  " The beauty of love fades as time passes on As the seasons change and the sun fades away When the seasons return to where the sun shines bright All I can see is beauty reflecting back to me from the suns light".  Reading this poem really touched me mentally.  I could related it to certain times in my life during some of my relationships. The opening statement "The beauty of love fades away as time passes on". That opening verse alone inst...

When it comes to this semester and the Works that we read the one that I enjoyed the most was "Wife of Bath's". I literally enjoyed this story so much simply because of the main character who was the elderly woman. Her whole entire demeanor about herself from this story made me think of my mother in someways. Due to her determination of standing up for what she wanted. Although she was a major feminist in this time, and did whatever she needed for her money. "For winning wolde I al his lust endure, And make me a feyned appetyt- And yet in bacon hadde I never delyt." (422-424). I would defintly read this tale again being that I could actually feel as if i were there during this story due to it feeling, as if it were written in modern day time.

When it comes to discussing about Hamlet being a modern hero, I too can agree. Hamlet showed heroism  from his thoughtfulness in his courageous determination to live by principle rather than by passion.He faced many struggles, and obstacles. He learned to stay true to his learning despite of what happened which is, a very modern thing that was different from any other ancient or epic hero. In Hamlet's Shakespeare hero teaches us by his example. "Hamlet lives-and dies- by his wisdom. "To thine own self be true". Hamlet remained self worthy and is thoughtful, principle and wise. Throughout this he remained nobly, heroically true to it.

When it comes to comparing Hamlet to the characters that we've read about it could be quite interesting. Hamlet was a guy whom showed the characteristic of being a very strong man. When it comes to a character who we've discussed in class that shares similar characteristics I'd choose Gilgamesh. They both had strength and also power,also were both viewed as being valued in the beginning of each story. Gilgamesh sleeked the power of immortal life, to continue the journey of achieving the mortal failing of his friends, whereas Hamlet seeks the strength to avenge his farther's death. This showed that they both were determined and strong.

When it comes to the Untied Started Of America and the world "Utopia" there's some major similarities. In "Utopia" Moore explained it to be a place where as same as the United States to be a  cooperative society of shared resources, and citizens who work together to better the place as a whole.  A difference was that in this world "Utopia" no private properties existed, whereas in the United States of America plenty of this exist. Utopia overall was seen as a modern world. Although there may have been differences between the two, there waste still similarities as well. 

When it comes to Trump being president there's a lot of things we as the people can say. According to Machiavelli perspective  on "Power" Trump isn't a good leader. In the story " Prince " Machiavelli speaks about the necessity of cruel actions to keep power when in leadership position. He also said, "he...must stick to the good so long as he can, but, being compelled by necessity, he must be ready to take the way of  evil" (Machiavelli 63). Trump hasn't been doing any of the strategies that Machiavelli has set for solid aid.

 When it comes to me choosing a song that has beauty in it, I'll have to choose the song called "Don'tchange"" by Musiq Soulchild. My reasoning for choosing this song is simply because i find beauty all in this song. One of the main parts of the song which to this song was " See I'll love you when your hair turns gray, girl   I'll still want you if you gain a little weight, yeah  The way I feel for you will always be the same  Just as long as your love don't change" in that part alone it's nothing but love. Accepting you for who you are, regardless of your image. Pure love. 

The beauty of life to me is different from others, Life has a faint voice that inspires, invigorate and soothes me. Though life has no ending date to when it's over, what makes it so special? Life is something that you only get to live once, so live it to your best ability.
