Copy and paste a detail paragraph from your research paper in to the blog.
The main idea of this paragraph is to show how Hamlet was not mourning his father’s death but in fact he was. Hamlet stated, “Tis not alone my inky cloak, good mother” (1.2.82). This supports the thesis because Hamlet clothing represented that he was indeed mourning over his father’s death. He lied to his mother so she wouldn’t feel more grief than she did.

Regurgitation of facts does little to demonstrate your engagement with Hamlet. Therefore, you will not complete a multiple choice test or any other on-demand assessment that shows little more than your ability to tell me what I told you about Hamlet or that you have taken from Sparknotes. What you will do is research a question about which you are curious.
The first step is to formulate questions. For this blog, create five (5) questions about Hamlet to which you do not know the answer and can be researched. Then evaluate someone’s questions in a reply.
1. Why didn’t Hamlet just tell Ophelia that he was going to act crazy for a while? He could have just told her that he had a mission to do and they couldn’t be with each other for a while. 2. Why did Ophelia go so crazy? 3. How does Hamlet use fashion to emulate his emotions? 4. I wonder what was up with Laertes and Ophelia because it seemed that he was little into her. 5. Why did everyone live in the same castle? Isn’t there supposed to be only the king’s family in the castle? I don’t get it.
What is your favorite line from the play, Hamlet and why? Be sure to cite using MLA format using the information below.
My favorite line from Hamlet so was “I must be cruel, only to be kind:/Thus bad begins and worse remains behind” (3.4.199-200). I like this quote because it reminds me of the new season of Pretty Little Liars. Spenser is trying to protect her boyfriend Toby from A. A is very dangerous and anyone who is associated with Spenser will get hurt. She had to break up with Toby and make sure he never spoken to her in the future. Spenser told him that she has been seeing someone else for a while which was not even true.
Part 1: This quarter, we wrote college essays, read poetry and novels, recited memorized poems. Each lesson was intended to teach lessons that extend beyond the classroom. For each activity listed below, explain (a) what you did, (b) the skills you learned, (c) the lessons you learned that are relevant to life after high school.
College Essay a) We transformed a real event from our lives and wrote about it. b) I learned that express my feeling through writing. c) This assignment helped me become a better writer and I’m going to need that in college and beyond. Sonnet a) We had to write a love sonnet with the appropriate sonnet format b) I learned the right way to write a sonnet. c) This assignment showed me how to think creatively and outside of the box because we are limited with only 10 syllables a line, 14 lines and the rhyme pattern. Novel a) We had a pick a novel, read it and complete book forms for the book. b) I learned how to juggle my time so I can actually read the book. c) A lesson I learned is that you may not like something at first but if it’s something you have to do then you have to do it. Once you get used to it then you end up enjoying it. I really love A Prayer for Owen Meany. Poem Recitation a) We had to pick a poem from a list that Mr. Griffin provided for us. Then we had about a month to memorize it and then we presented to the class. b) A skill I learned is prioritizing my schedule; doing what is important not what I necessarily wanted to do. Instead of watching television I would recite my poem over and over. c) A lesson I learned is that I need to get over my fear of speaking in front of a large crowd especially in the fashion industry. I’m going to have present things all the time. Hopefully in college they will train me enough so be a good presenter. Webfolio a) We had to create a website showing all of our work in Tech Prep 12. b) I learned how to create a website and transfer files. c) A lesson I have learned that I can use after high school is organization. I wasn’t so organized with my previous work so it was difficult relocating the other work to put on my website. It is important to be organized at all times so you are always prepared for anything.
