I got a hell of a bashing, if you want to know that type of thing. Most people do. That way they can go around and gossip about it. I’m not saying you would, but most people would. Problem is, when people gossip they get the details about what really happened wrong. It’s human nature, I suppose. It makes people do the damnedest things. My old man, the cantankerous bastard, says it’s why I always find myself neck deep in mud. Take for example last night’s big football game between Warburton and Ivory. Now, I don’t care much for football or baseball or any other sport, just a bunch of gorillas with too much testosterone for their own good if you ask me, but the rivalry between Warburton and Ivory is damn near as old as the country. And, Christ, not to attend the game is next to committing every sin possible simultaneously, at least in the eyes of …show more content…
Earlier in the day we had an argument about this damn game and I succinctly explained my position on not attending. She fell silent at that time and I put it behind me. She didn’t. “Ophelia, why would you want to attend that God awful gladiatorial sport?” “Because it’s fun. And it would be fun to be seen in public with you,” she said as she stroked my chest through my oxford with her left hand. “Please, Benton? For me,” she purred and then gave me a peck on my check with those lips that I can’t deny. Now, I hate my name as much as the next person, but when she let it slip from her tongue and through her lips I know I didn’t have a choice. Usually I’m a lot harder than that, but there’s something about Ophelia. She makes me let my guard down. Makes me want to please her. It’s an unfamiliar feeling I’m still working out, even now. “Besides, do you really want weekend duty in the cafeteria serving or cleaning campus toilets?” I rolled my eyes at her and glared. She giggled a giggle that all girls have, the one that says, “gotcha” and then she smiled a delicious
My name is Robert Borgelin from Wellington Florida. I am married to my wife Frantzie and have six children. I have been a student at Knox for some time now.

We see Ophelia torn between her desire to be near Hamlet or pleasing her father and her brother. This clearly represents a massive internal conflict to Ophelia. Especially when she has been ordered by her father to stay away from Hamlet. Then, He ordered again to be the bait for Cladius who 's want to snoop on her conversation with Hamlet. Hence, Ophelia placed for the second time in a difficult choice, She must choose between her loyalty to her father or her loyalty to her lover
It was March 1963 at Mississippi State University. I was going to class early to get in some last minute cramming before the test over chapter 14. Even though my friend Eric Swan and I study all night. Eric was my best friend from high school. Eric and I did everything together, except when he was with his racist friends.
“Come on make your lay-up, Lewis!” Coach Marshall yells. Obviously not at me though, considering I am always sitting on the bench. He yells this at Alex Lewis, our starting point guard at Rockwood High School. Also, the same starting point guard that plays over me.
This statement shows the people closest to Ophelia never dreamed her life would end in such a
I have been waiting since the start of summer for this day, the day to go against Topeka West the school that have been talking stuff for the longest. There was so much hype about this game and it was finally here, when the bell ringed at the end of the day i rushed out of class and got on the bus to head over to chandler our practice field. When we got there we all the football players loaded off the bus and when we got off there was a table of chips,water,gatorade,PB & J and fruit snacks so we didn’t play on an empty stomach. After we ate and got ready coach talk to us for a little bit and then we got on the bus to head to Hummer sports park, it was a loud bus
My Theme Song Songs can connect with how we feel and our experiences. Music has been a major part of my life ever since I was just a toddler. For me music has helped me express what I am feeling and who I am as a person. My therapy has been music, it has helped me through almost every problem I have faced. With listening to the song lyrics, we can get a true understanding of what the artist is trying to tell us.
This is where we first see Ophelia deteriorating a person. The next thing that drove her off a cliff was her father being murdered. Claudius said “O, this is the poison of deep grief;
Ophelia’s character went through quite a large transformation. In the play her father tells her that she is to stay away from Hamlet and she readily agrees. In the movie Ophelia doesn’t disagree with her father but she also doesn’t agree just to please him. This shows that Ophelia isn’t easily persuaded, even by her own father. Despite her father’s warning about Hamlet, Ophelia met with him in secret at her apartment until her father found out.
Although I disagree with the character traits presented by the author, it has provided me with some insight regarding Ophelia. That insight being the possibility that Ophelia’s personality may be a facade. Ophelia
For example when Laertes is lecturing Ophelia about staying away from guys she responds
When Laertes arrives back from Paris, he confront Claudius at the castle, only to have Ophelia interrupt him. Upon hearing her song, he remarks, “This nothing’s more than matter” (4.5.173). The reason that these meaningless words mean more than words with meaning is because they are in fact not meaningless. Ophelia is still very much conscious and perceptive as before, except unlike before, she is verbalizing her thoughts and observations. Although she still retains some gender appropriate behaviors in this enlightened state--like encrypting her intent in song form instead of blurting them out--her assertive tone, unabashedness, and willingness to take action all contradict her previous teachings.
He is disappointed to see that Ophelia is displaying irrational behavior when she begins to sing “They bore him barefac’d on the bier; Hey non nonny, nonny, hey nonny; And on his grave rains many a tear.” She is so mentally ill that she must be locked in a padded room during the day. At other times, she is in a straight jacket to prevent her from hurting herself. It seems as if nothing can help her mental madness.
For the duration of the play, Ophelia was portrayed as a naïve and submissive woman. Her passivity and powerlessness reinforce the voicelessness of women during the Elizabethan era. For example, “I shall obey, my lord” (I.iii.134) shows that Ophelia concedes to her father’s will, even though she believes Hamlet’s love is genuine. She is willing and expected to obey her father despite the fact that she still loves Hamlet, which emphasizes her character’s submissive nature. Furthermore, in Act I Laertes warns Ophelia that it would be shameful of her to love Hamlet, and she responds with “I shall the effect of this good lesson keep as a watchman to my heart” (I.iii.45).
“You should not have believed me, for virtue cannot so inoculate our old stock but we shall relish of it. I loved you not.” (3.1.120-122) The suspense here comes from Ophelia’s psychological damage, as the reader is unsure what will happen to her or how she will handle the cruelty. While Ophelia doesn’t have a lot of lines, Shakespeare makes sure that she is put to use well regarding the suspense she builds in the play.
