A Short Essay on Hamlet

2005-02-03T13:07:00.000-05:00

I've found a very good essay on Hamlet which uses simple language to explain the plot. It also contains some discussion about why Hamlet acts the way he does and how we can understand his actions. I recommend that you read Chasing Shakespeare, Finding Hamlet.

Enjoy.

MLA Citations

2005-01-27T13:41:00.000-05:00

There is a lot of information on the Web about citing works. Here are a few helpful links.

http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/research/r_mla.html
This document covers a lot of the methods we looked at in class today. It is a good complementary resource for your Harbrace Handbook.

http://www.westwords.com/guffey/mla.html
This document goes into a lot of detail about citing electronic sources. It also explains why there are often two dates in a single citation. The first date is the publication date of, say, the Web page. The second date is the access date, or the date you viewed the Web page. Sometimes Web pages don't have publication dates, in which case you would only use the access date.

It is easier to communicate today than it was a centry ago. We have so many different ways to communicate in the present day. We can use telephones, cell phones, email, text messages, online instant messengers, and many other sources of communication. One hundred years ago, the only way of communicating with others was by mailing a letter. The telephone was just being invented at that time. It is so much easier to communicate in today's day and age than it was a centry ago.

It is easier to communicate today...

2005-01-24T04:58:00.000-05:00

It is easier to communicate today than it was a century ago. A century ago, people didn't have telephone. A message that you wish to deliver might take a few months to reach it's destination. But, today we have the internet and we have faster mail deliver because of extensive transportation networks. Over thirty five percent of homes in Canada have internet access and ninety percent of homes in Canada have a phone line. Today, the modern world, we can communicate each other, any place and any time we want.

The droning of the airplane got closer and closer.

2005-01-23T20:08:00.000-05:00

When it is far away, it looks like a small bird which flies slowly. However, when it gets closer, it looks really huge, especially when it is flying over your head. Also, I can hear the droning sound of the plane. As the airplane gets closer, the droning sound becomes louder, and it changes from a high tune to a low tune. If the airplane is close enough, I even can see the patten on the airplane. Like " Air Canada" or the maple leaves.

Easier communication

2005-01-23T13:05:00.000-05:00

It is widely accepted that communication plays an important role in people's daily life, and it is easier to communicate today than it was a century ago. Why this thing happens, I will present my views as follows. In today's world, we can commnicate with each other by using telephones because almost 60% homes have a phone line in the world. In addition, it is possible to communicate by using Internet (such as MSN and e-mail) because there are 15% homes have cable accesses and you also can use Internet in some public places. In contrast, the people who lived in a century ago, maybe, the only thing they could do is to communicate face-to-face, because they had nothing to be used for communicating.

Terry had never been to a dance before

2005-01-23T01:30:00.002-05:00

He was excited but also very nervous. He wore beautiful clothes. This was the first time he went to the dance. He did not know how to dance. So he just sat there and drank water. Then a girl invited him to dance. He was very happy at that time, because this was the first time that someone invited him to dance. He did not know how to dance, so he stepped on her foot many times. He was ashamed.

I made a mistake

2005-01-13T21:09:00.000-05:00

Web Assignment 1: Music Remedy

2005-01-12T09:21:00.000-05:00

One of my favourite sites is called Music Remedy. It is a site that you can listen to music without having to download anything onto your computer. I like this site, because downloading music can be time comsuming and frustrating if you cannot find the song you are looking for. Music Remedy is not like that. All you need to do is choose the letter the name of your artist begins with, the song you wish to listen to, and you're done. It's simple, easy, and it works. I think everyone would benefit from http://www.musicremedy.com

Sonnets

2005-01-07T13:25:00.000-05:00

Your homework for the weekend is to read three sonnets: "Composed Upon Westminster Bridge," "In the Crowd" and "Sonnet LV." To learn more about the sonnet, you should visit M. Wendy Hennequin's page called "Building Blocks of Sonnets." There is a lot of terminology on this page that we haven't covered yet. The most important parts for our purposes are the sections called "Types of Sonnets" and "Sonnet Structure."
Hennequin also provides some very good advice:

Read sonnets! After reading enough of them, you'll internalize the uses of the structures and won't even think about them.
