Taming of the Shrew

I feel that the story Taming of the Shrew is a bit wild because of just how the induction starts off. The best quote for me from the induction would be "O monstrous beast, how like a swine he lies! Grim death, how foul and loathsome is thine image! Sirs, I will practice on this drunken man." This is the Lord talking about how Sly is a drunk and seeing him passed out like a pig is an unpleasing sight. But, we all know people like Sly every single community has that town drunk that is a burden and drinks until they are pissy drunk, vomiting, and passed out. I think that all this prank would do in the end is do one or two things make his drinking problem worse. I feel this way because this is going to hurt his feelings and when you are hurt and you might result to drinking. Yet it can also be beneficial and stop him from drinking because of the embarrassment that he get because of being drunk and really believing that someone can wake up after fifteen years. It is crazy because how can go from being a bum to a king and that is really going to mess him up. Then you cannot even kiss your wife that is another sign or something strange. I understand having no other sexual activity but just a kiss? A kiss can only kill you from passing something like an illness. It is like this Sly at first did have his doubts but if you wake up and everyone is telling you the same thing and then you have been asleep fifteen years even though in their days that was impossible and it is still almost impossible to happen in today with our modern medicine so maybe you can get tricked now but it should not have happened back then.

Fences

The book fences overall is crazy but what stood out to me most is the character of Troy and how good of a woman that Rose is. So ladies I know that if your husband someone that you had been with for over twenty years no matter the situation if your husband has another child of wedlock during the time that the two of you all are married you would leave him and I would if my wife was to be pregnant with the baby conceived from another man. She even tries to still work it out also still and raises the child after her mother dies but she did end up calling it off and calling Troy “ A womanless man.” So she finally stood up for herself, but this still does not affect her being a good woman in my opinion because she raised a child that was not even hers and the child came from the result of her husband cheating. Now to the character of Troy I am pretty sure we all can say that he is not a good guy, but considering his upbringing you can understand why he is messed up in the head, and something you cannot take from is that because of him being illiterate I feel that makes him a harder worker even though he did not finish the fence at the pace that Rose wanted him to complete it. I feel that him being an illiterate black guy is one of the reasons that he was not allowed in the MLB because of and at this time you had to be both smart and a good player.   .   Also maybe Troy was not as good as he believes that he was, and this is why he did not make it because of that. Because Troy was a drunk and drunks do lie and believe things different and see them different than we do.

Frankenstein

I personally feel that Frankenstein has two themes the first is that you cannot run away from your problems and the second one is that if people judge you by your appearance that your appearance will make you become what people believe that you are. First let’s talk about how you cannot run away from your problems when Victor first sees the monster is alive he that say "the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart." What this in a nutshell means is that first he was ashamed of what he created. It was funny how he thought that if he was to go asleep the monster would simply go to sleep or I guess just die again.  This is where the running begins, and in the morning when he wakes up the monster is standing over him.  In the mind of a monster he is only doing what children sometimes do to their parents when the children cannot sleep at night but back to the theme; when he sees the monster he leaves his house and leaves the monster there. He then runs from the monster during the whole rest of the story and only stops for a moment when the monster tells Victor how lonely is and that he will stop being evil if Victor builds him a companion.  Which victor then changes his mind when he again sees the one monster that he has already created and then I guess this is the first time that he did not run from his problems. He then runs from the monster during the whole rest of the story and only stops for a moment when the monster tells Victor how lonely is and that he will stop being evil if Victor builds him a companion.  Which victor then changes his mind when he again sees the one monster that he has already created and then I guess this is the first time that he did not run from his problems. 
 The second theme is that you should not judge people based off of their appearance or you can make them evil like you how see them as. In the beginning the monster is innocent like a child but as the story goes on he eventually turns evil, and this is because people seen a big ugly human like monster and when you see something like that your body goes into fight or flight mode.

Oedipus Rex

In the story Oedipus Rex what I feel that you learned that you can not run away from your problems. It is simple as this no matter what we believe if something is meant to be it is meant to be. Like for example lets say in a car accident someone passes away  and you say that if they were not driving at that point of time it would not have happened. In this story though it was taken to the extreme about the fate of all the main characters from Oedipus, to his mother and wife, and last his father.  Because in the story Oedipus`s father is told that his son will kill him and marry his wife whose also his own mother,  and in an attempt to make the prophecy not become true they take baby Oedipus to the woods and tie his feet together making him even more vulnerable to the environment, but he is found and saved.  Also, when Oedipus found out about the prophecy he left his new home so that way it would not come true but the people that raised him were not his real parents so the prophecy would not have became true maybe if he was not told about it. Another thing that is learned but taken out of proportion in this story is to not make fun of or mistreat anyone that  has a disability or in turn you can get the same one that they have.  This story also teaches you that sometimes when you try to fix a problem the solution to fixing the problem is getting rid of yourself because you are the culprit of the problem.  Oedipus`s city was having a plague because the killer of their was living with them but little did he know he was the killer.

Well until this class I had never even thought about creating a Pinterest account. Now I see that it is like another search engine in its own way because it is a lot simpler to save a remember a link with a picture than reading the link and trying to remember which link that one was. This can be used in group projects since this is a social media website and you can use this for a project like a did using google slides.


http://www.rodalewellness.com/food/50-foods-you-should-never-eat/instant-noodles
The link to when i learned that noodles can cause you to get migraine headaches and has an agent in it that increases risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

Link to the activity is above.
This is the first step which consists of you going to Pinterest and picking your links from it for the project.

his is the first slide and example of how a slide should look for the healthy foods.





The sixth slide or the first one for bad food choices and this the example on how it should look.




This is not one of the slides but just simply how one of the PINS looks after you click on it.
