At six months' end she parted hence With the Safety of her innocence; Whose soul heaven's queen (whose name she bears) In comfort of her mother's tears, Hath place amongst her virgin train: Where, while that severed doth remain, This grave partakes the fleshly birth; Which cover lightly, gentle earth. //- 1616//

Kelly Stowell

She clearly explained how to come into character when acting in a play. She researches and/or thinks of someone she knows personally and studies their emotions. She judges her change in emotion by other characters in the plays (you depend off of eachother). Kelly did not start reading Shakespeare until she was fourty years old, and was originally a Criminal Justice major. She shared a tip in which you read the english version of Shakespeare (in the book for Dummies), and then follows by reading the old english version, so its more understanding. Her tips were helpful and it was interesting to see how she transforms into different characters.

Discuss the characters of Mak:

Coll is the first shepherd. He complains to his friends of the cold winter, poverty, and the oppression of farmers (husbandmen) by the high social position. He left a present for Mak’s child that leads to the discovery of the sheep.

Gyb is the second shepherd, who is plagued by a shrewish wife as well as by the weather and his masters. He urges the others on to Bethlehem to worship the Christ Child after they have heard the song of the angels.

Daw is the third shepherd, a boy. He is suspicious of Mak from the moment he appears.

Why is the "Miller's Tale" a fabliaux/farce?

Fabliaux are stories in the verses in which make people laugh. "Miller's Tale" is one example of a comedy story. There are several characters in which are comical for their drunken behaviors and careless acts. The Miller often tells everyone that he is drunk and shouldnt be held accountable for anything he says or does.

1) Sin Scale

2) What is/are Gawain's sin(s)?

If 1 is heaven and 10 is hell on the scale, Gawain is at a 3 on my Sin Scale. Gawains sins consist of kissing Bertilak's wife, and lying about having the belt. My group and I believed that if he was bad, Bertilak would have killed him. The list had a lot more good on it than sins.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Respond to assigned article "Undressing Lady Bertilak" :

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">I understand the main plot of Gawain and the Green Knight, though the love affair between Lady Bertilak and Gawain was much more clearly explained in the article.

Pick an important/key passage from Fitt 3. Analyze.

The last paragraph of the third Chapter, states that "I should desire the second wound, of Our Lord's gracious gift, that my body might be fulfilled with mind and feeling of his blessed passion; for I would that his pains were my pains with compassion, and afterward longing to God."

Perhaps this piece of the chapter relfects on the positives of being wounded or death. Also, that God feels any pain that he is feeling, though blesses him and fills him with a good feeling.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;"> ﻿ The list in class perhaps shows facts about "Love".

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">"He who is not jealous cannot love." <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">"It is well known that love is always increasing or decerasing." <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">"A true lover does not desire to embrace in love anyone except his beloved."

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Love can be confusing, and people can love many people in a lifetime. Though, when you find that one true person, the feelings you have for them cannot exist with anyone else. There are many aspects to love; everyone should have love present in their life.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">(jealousy constantly shows up in the list, along with "love sickness")

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">﻿ Today in class we had a quiz on **"The Wife's Lament".** From what I got out of the poem is that it is Old English, and the narrative is a woman whom is grieving. She was forced to live in a "forest grove, under an oak tree in an earthen cave." She says how the only thing that can tear them apart is death, though something happens that creates a seperation (cheating, living away from another, etc.) Perhaps there is another man involved as well, as if it is a love triangle, because the husband may have gone off to fight. She could have also been exiled because of her actions, which is why this whole poem is about sorrow, grief, and sadness.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">At the end of Beowulf, Beowulf fought Grendel and ripped off his arm. Grendel ran into his swampland and then later died. Grendels mother got pissed off then seeks revenge on Beowulf. She fights him and dies as well. Beowulf later becomes King, fights a dragon, becomes wounded and dies.

My name is Lindsay Baker, and I am a sophomore. I am getting my dual license in Special Education and Elementary Education and minoring in English. I have been tutoring kids at the McKay Campus School once a week for the past year and a half. I help these students practice Math, to help prepare for the MCAS. My ideal job would be to teach fifth graders in Math. I enjoy working with kids and cannot wait until I graduate and have my very own classroom.
