Stop trying

To Ben Demeritt,
Wow, are you serious? I would never want to get to know you your smaller than me and you are a weak and dillusional little boy. I am engaged to a hockey player who is four thousand times the man you could ever be even in your wildest dreams. Seriously give up trying I will never even speak to you. You are a complete loser.
Love,
Carrie Underwood

Love

Dear Shakira,
You are the most purely amazing woman I have ever seen in my long dramatic life. Your hip-shaking tantalizes and teases all my senses your blond hair causes me to move in a way that is "sexual" to say the least. Your colombian accent causes my ears to go wild and causes goosebumps all throughout my body. Your smokin hot body rocks my world in more ways than you could ever imagine. I'm no Beautiful Liar and those Hips sure don't lie.
I love you,
Mitch Brauning

MacBeth

I have enjoyed the rather violent and cruel nature of MacBeth through the beggining acts in the play. The violence begins so early in the play that it grabs my attention and surprisingly I have not wanted to remove my eyes from the script. Alongside the violence there is also cruelty to an unexpected level for example the fact that his wife wants to use her husband to get to a level of power beyond what any man or women could dream of at night. Lady Macbeth is the most cruel and above all else in my opinion the least expected to be the "bad guy" in essence but her actions and thoughts through the first act has established as just that. Although this is not the first time this layout has been used for example in the movie for Beowulf the monster's mother uses her beauty to seduce and use Beowulf. The layout I am suggesting is that the vulnerable Hero is seduced be a warry and attractive woman and used for a gain in some way for the female.

Geoffrey Chaucer




Geoffrey Chaucer was born in London he was the son of a prosperous wine merchant and deputy to the king's butler, and his wife Agnes. He could read French, Latin, and Italian. In 1385 he lost his job and home, and moved to Kent where he was appointed as justice of the peace. He also was elected to Parliament. This was a period of great creativity for him, during which he produced most of his best poetry, among others Troilus and Cressida , based on a love story by Boccaccio. Chaucer did not begin working on The Canterbury Tales until he was in his early 40s. The book, which was left unfinished when Chaucer died, depicts a pilgrimage by some 30 people, who are going on a spring day in April to the shrine of the martyr, St. Thomas Becket. On the way they amuse themselves by telling fun tales. Among the band of pilgrims are a knight, a monk, a prioress, a plowman, a miller, a merchant, a clerk, and an oft-widowed wife from Bath. The stories are interlinked with interludes in which the characters talk with each other, revealing much about themselves.

Heroes

My heroes are my friends and family because they are the ones who help me overcome adversity and get through everyday life thinking positively. My friends are great heroes because even when they jokingly rag* on me it makes me laugh and laughter is the one and only thing on this earth than no matter how bad I feel or how hurt I am mentally or even physically will always cheer me up. Also they are heroes because they all deal with adversity some worse than me like for example a kid who's parents break up or get divorced those kids when they handle those situations are some of my greatest heroes because I could never imagine how I could even think about handling that in my life. My parents are heroes because they deal with me everyday and they always help me and even when we have arguments or fights I know that whenever I need them they will be there for me and for that they are also my heroes. My sister and brother are fantastic because they are two people that understand what I go through because not too long ago they were at Anderson High School and they help me get out my frustrations from school so they too are my heroes.

*rag-make fun of or haze.
