Check out Randy’s speech–”The Last Lecture.”  For a really inspirational story (reminds me of the “Lay of the Last Survivor”), watch these youtube videos about the story of Prof. Randy Pausch from Carnegie-Mellon giving his last lecture (a tradition for retiring professors at C-M to do before leaving to leave their life lessons with their students) at age 47 when he found out he had cancer and only had a few months to live.

Today’s Quotes about BREVITY:

Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit,
And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes,
I will be brief.
~William Shakespeare, Hamlet

It is with words as with sunbeams.  The more they are condensed, the deeper they burn.  ~Robert Southey

Good things, when short, are twice as good.  ~Baltasar Gracian, The Art of Worldly Wisdom

It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what other men say in whole books – what other men do not say in whole books.  ~Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols

The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do.  ~Thomas Jefferson

   SCANSION WORK:  Do pink practice SCANSION QUIZ and Identifying the Sonnet types on the back (and the Asimov quiz if you would like). 

Do this in pencil!  (If you would like to print out a copy of this, click HERE) The following tips/ info should help you.  TO DETERMINE RHYTHM PATTERN: Try  ITAD:  iambic (u/), trochaic (/u), anapestic (uu/), dactylic (/uu), pentameter.   TO DETERMINE RHYME:  You use small letters to designate the rhyming pattern.  For example, use an “a” to designate the last sound at the end of the first line.  Use a “b” to designate a different sound than sound “a.”  Use a “c” to designate another different sound than sounds “a” or “b.”  Use a “d” to designate another different sound at the end of a line than sounds “a” or “b” or “c,” etc.)

DUE MONDAY! ASSIGNMENT H9 #1-5:  CLICK HERE FOR A COPY OF THE HAMLET ASSIGNMENT PACKET  #1:  Read Act 2 pp. 53-60,  #2:  Do sol #3 paraphrase (Click HERE to get a pdf. copy of the Hamlet Soliloquy Packet.),                    #3: AP Q’s 24-30 (Click HERE to get a pdf. copy of the Hamlet AP Question Packet. FOR A COPY OF  AP LIT POETRY TERMS PACKET, CLICK HERE,  #4: ivory quiz  (Click HEREfor a copy of the ivory quiz)  OPTIONAL TONIGHT!  #5:  Do  WA 16  Act 2 TOPICS (1 side), EP Hamlet (1/2 side), Cast List (1/2 side)

YOU HAVE 3 TASKS IN THIS 2 sided JOURNAL!
 TASK A  ACT 2 TOPICS (one side min.):  Read carefully over the following topics after finishing Act II.  Choose one or more upon which to write at least a full page of discussion/analysis, etc.  Let your ideas run wild, but ground them in examples/proof from the text.  List page numbers to help remind you where you got the ideas.  We will use these questions as a springboard for small or large-group discussion.  Be sure to write/summarize the question at the front end of your discussion so than anyone reading it can recognize to which question you’re responding right away.                                     HERE ARE THE TOPICS FOR TASK A:                      TOPIC A)      What are the positives Hamlet sees in the world?  What are the negatives?  If he were your best friend, what way of life would he recommend for you to live?  What makes you think so?  Give proof!        TOPIC B) In the soliloquies, it’s said that Hamlet lays bare his true motives and his true weaknesses.  Trace Hamlet’s development/stage in each soliloquy thus far.  Has he changed since the first one?  If so, how?  If not, what makes you think that?  Based on the soliloquies and his action thus far, predict what you think will happen next. Give proof.  TOPIC C)       There are definitely both positives and negatives displayed in Hamlet’s character thus far.  Hamlet says, “Though I am not splentive and rash, yet have I in me something dangerous.”  Find concrete confirmation of both the positives and their less attractive negative counterparts.  If you were Hamlet’s best friend, tell what you think is positive about him and what you think is negative.  Give proof.  TOPIC D )  Comment on Hamlet’s sanity.  If you were Hamlet’s therapist, would you say he was sane or insane?  What would give us the tendancy to believe the Hamlet is seriously in danger of losing his sanity?  Give proof.  TOPIC E)     Some say that Hamlet does not have the make-up of a man who can commit revenge successfully.  August Wilhelm said:  “He does himself only justice when he says there is no greater dissimilarity than between himself and Hercules.”  Do you think Hamlet has it in him to commit the task (revenge, etc.–see the ghost’s commands) the ghost put on him?  What will it take?  What can he do?  Give proof.f)       Agree or disagree:  Hamlet has legitimate reasons for delays in his revenge.  What are they?  If not, why not?  Give proof.g)      How does “there is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so” express in philosophical terms the CORE of Hamlet’s problem?  List several problems/concerns he has and how each can be viewed as both positive and negative at the same time.  Give proof.h)      The play explores the nature of kingship.  What make a good king?  Is Claudius a good king?  Is he truly the “rottenness in Denmark”?  Would Hamlet make a good king?  Give proof.                                                                                     TASK B (1/2 side min.):  IF HAMLET WERE A STUDENT AT EPHS . . .    If Hamlet were a student at Eden Prairie High School, what type of student would he be? What activities would he choose?  What would his friends be like?  What classes would he take?  Would he have a girlfriend?  Be elected student council president? Add whatever else might seem applicable!   For example, what would the “blurb” under his senior graduation picture say?                                                                                    TASK C (1/2 side min.):  NEW CAST LIST FOR A NEW HAMLET MOVIE?    If you were a director who is making a new movie of Hamlet, who would you cast in the leading roles?   Make a list of at least 5 roles and brainstorm actors who you think would be great for each role.  Explain why.  The actors may be alive now or dead.  You may also choose an actor who is not currently at the age you would prefer for playing the role, too.  For example, maybe Judy Dench is too old to play Ophelia now, but she may have been great as Ophelia when she was younger.  If you want to import a picture to show what the actor looks like, feel free to do that, too.
