14. 1) Write a blog post reflecting on the story of Hamlet and his most famous soliloquy. 2) What parts of his story or his feelings can you relate to? 3) What struggles do you wrestle with when you are alone? 4) What positives do you look for when you are feeling down? 5) What do you think Shakespeare is trying to say about family, suicide, murder, love or life in general in his play Hamlet?



1) Hamlet was about a young teenage boy that was the prince of Denmark (Hamlet) who's father was killed by his fathers brother(uncle) that was sleeping with the queen. Hamlet seen the ghost of his father, who tells him that his uncle Claudius poisoned him and that was the cause of the death. Hamlet is angered because Claudius married Hamlets mother to gain the crown of being the King of Denmark. Hamlets fathers ghost tells him to plot a plan to kill his unlce Claudius. Hamlet needed a good plan to let everyone know how the former king died, Hamlet created a play about the way his father exactly died,  Claudius was angered and walked out. Hamlets mother asked why he would do such a thing, Hamlet heard something in the closet, he quickly grabbed a knife and stabbed someone, Hamlet came to know it was his lovers father. T prove himself innocent hamlet had to have a sword fight... Is step father poisoned the wine glass and sword, the mother drinks the wine falls dead and hamlet got stabbed had poison flowing through him as hamlet was dying he killed his step father.



In some ways I can say I can relate to hamlets story because in my life there were many times were I was alone and didn't understand how to cope with the world around me. There were many days were I would turn to very serious dangerous things that could have made me sick or dead. I had so many feelings suppressed inside of me that I had no one to talk to because I would worry about how people would judge me. We're Hamlet and I are the same are the feeling of being alone and judged. The struggles I had faced of being alone was I was diagnosed with severe depression ,the very traumatic events that have happened to me built up so much inside of me that I didn't know what was going in around me, with my severe depression I have put my family through a lot. I would cry myself to sleep, i wouldn't talk to no one in my house, I did not eat, I lost my appetite, I closed myself off from the world, i could barely make it to school, life was just a mess, it was such a mess that I tried many times to make myself "disappear" which really landed me in the hospital and counselling, I have learned with all the struggles I have faced i have learned to become a stronger person and become a role model to the people who have faced the same problems and traumatic events that I have . I love my family for all there support and positivity they made my journey of being better and healthy so much better. When I feel alone I keep myself occupied in the stuff I like doing and that distracts me or i talk to my bestfriend my mommy.The positives I look to when I'm feeling down are that I am in a loving and happy family/environment that support me through my high and lows, my rise and falls, success and struggles, I love how my family keep me happy everyday knowing that I have been through a lot and they want me to stay positive so with their positivity I get through my low days, so with all this positivity life is definitely worth living. I think what Shakespeare is trying to intend is with many struggles comes judging, frustration, and thoughts about your life, with all this if you have negative happening think positive about life,think about the people that care about you. There will always be struggles in life but that's life, you have to suck it up and get through it to become a stronger person.

QUESTIONS:

1) The five things i value in life are: Family,Boyfriend,Money,Health,Love... I value all these things in life because they are the the people and things that get me through life in my daily day, they will always be here for me through thick and thin, good and bad. This relates to my tattoo because my grandpa valued all the same things in life.

2) The three things i am very passionate about are: 

Spending time with family, boyfriend, friends I value the time i have with them and the memories we are creating every moment, cause those memories  i will always cherish.

I am very passionate about dancing. I have been dancing since i was four years old. Everyone knows me for my dancing 

Last thing I am passionate about is traveling. I like traveling because i like learning about the worlds history and how it became what it is today.

3) If I ever got a tattoo it would represent my grandpa, how much love i have for him and how much i cherish him. There many ways i can honor my grandpa by getting an education, a proper job, marrying someone who cares for me and respects my family, and respect my family. BUT  a tattoo is more sentimental and i wanted to show my honor and love for him in a unique way. 

4) My maternal grandpa and I were very close he was my favourite person in our family. I loved my grandpa to death. Out of all the grandchildren i was the closest to him, My grandpa was a very strong person, he had many jobs, he was always interested in learning new things, he always helped people no matter if they were rich or poor, he didn't want anything in return except their happiness, my grandpa is an amazing person, everyone has  known him for good. My grandpa hands down was a great man he provided everything for us and gave us all the happiness in the world, he was always jolly and made sure no matter how bad his health was and in any situation he would make you smile . On Jan.08 2002 it was my birthday, my grandpa died. I didnt know till the very next day. I realized over the years that my grandpa only left on my birthday because i was close to him, i consider him being gone on my birthday meant i gained a guardian angel that will always protect me. My tattoo will represent the love for my grandpa.

5) I would like to get this tattoo over my heart, because i will always cherish my grandpa in my heart.

I would like to add in a quote " “To live in the hearts of those we love is never to die”
This quote means that love never dies for the one you love, it will always carry on in your day to day life, you will always remember the person and cherish them in your hearts.

The numbers would be in Roman Numerals because its more unique(in my opinion)

Around the lettering i would like to have angel wings because he is my Guardian Angel

Let's dance in style
Let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit
Life is a short trip
The music's for the sad man
[Chorus]
Forever young 
I wanna be
Forever young
Do you really want to live forever,
forever, and ever? (Uhh)
Forever young (Young)
I wanna be (Aye, may the best of your todays...
Forever young (Be the worst of your tomorrows...
Do you really want to live forever, (But we ain't even thinkin that far...Ya kna what i mean?)
Forever, forever young 
[Jay-z]
So we livin life like a video
Where the sun is always out and you never get old
and the champaign is always cold
and the music is always good
and the pretty girls just happen to stop by in the hood
and they hop they pretty ass up on the hood of that pretty ass car
without a wrinkle in today
cuz there's no tomorrow
just a picture perfect day
that last a whole lifetime
and it never ends
cause all we have to do is hit rewind
So let's just stay in the moment smoke some weed drink some wine
Reminisce talk some shit forever young is in your mind
Leave a mark they can't erase, Neither space nor time
So when the director yells cut, I'll be fine
I'm forever young
[Chorus]
Forever young 
I wanna be
Forever young
Do you really want to live forever,
forever, and ever
Forever young
I wanna be
Forever young
Do you really want to live forever,
forever, forever young
[Jay-z]
Fear not where, fear not why, fear not much while we're alive
Life is for living not living uptight
til you're somewhere up in the sky
Fear not die I'll be alive for a million years bye bye's are not for legends i'm forever young my name shall survive
Through the darkest blocks, over kitchen stoves, over Pyrex pots, My name shall be passed down to generations while debatin' up in barber shops
Young slung, hung here, showed that a nigga from here, With a little ambition, just what we can become here.
And as the father pass the story down to his son's ear younger get younger every year (yeah)
So if you love me baby this is how you let me know, Don't ever let me go, thats how you let me know, baby
[Chorus]
Forever young
I wanna be
Forever young
Do you really want to live forever,
forever, forever
Forever young
I wanna be
Forever young
Do you really want to live forever,
forever, forever young
[Jay-z sings]
Slammin' Bentley doors, 
hoppin' outta Porsche's
Poppin' Up on Forbes' list
Gorgeous (hold up,)
Niggas thought I lost it
They be talking bullshit, 
I be talking more shit, 
They nauseous, (hold up) I'll be here forever 
You know I'm on my four shit 
I ain't with foreclosure
I will never forfeit 
Less than four bars 
Guru bring the chorus in 
Did you get the picture yet?
I'm painting you a portrait of Young
[Chorus]
Forever young 
I wanna be
Forever young (Forever young)
Do you really want to live forever
forever, forever young

This song means live everyday like it was your last. He's saying how when your younger you don't have a care in the world. "When the director yells cut" meaning when you die (the director being God) you shouldn't have any  regrets.  "I'll be fine I'm forever young" meaning because you lived your life to the fullest. still talking about living your life: "Fear not when, fear not why, fear not much while were alive, life is for living not living up tight..." but then it switches and talks about how it's alright when he dies because he's made a name for himself and he won't be forgotten: "i’ll be alive for a million years, bye bye, so not for legends, I’m forever young my name shall survive through the darkest blocks, over kitchen stoves, over Pyrex pots, my name shall be passed down to generations while debating up in barber shops..." and then about how he started off with nothing and made something out of himself: "young slum, hung here, show that the ***** from here with a little ambition just what we can become here..." and then in the end he says: "so if you love me baby this is how you let me know. don’t ever let me go, thats how you let me know, baby..." He's talking to his fans saying keep him a legend. Have you ever heard of like people staying young because people always talk about them...like Tupac, Biggie Smalls, Aliyah, he/she died young, but people still talk about him/her and he/she definitely a legend and his name lives on because he's know from one generation after another generation so he's forever young because even people who were way after his/her time know about him. We all will die someday but our legacy will live on forever and other people will remember about us. I like this song because when i was going through a tough time with life i was very close to losing my life as a teenager/young, i can totally relate to this song cause at a time in life i almost did lose my life but i didn't because i wanted to be alive so i can fulfill my dreams and have the things i wanted with the achievements i made and dreams i have completed." Fear not die i'll be alive for a million years bye bye's are not for legends" i didn't give up and one day im going to be successful one day and make my family and myself proud and be a legend for my families generaton. 

Personality Test Result

ESTJs are responsible, logical, norm-following hard workers. Their efforts are carried out in a practical, structured manner. ESTJs trust facts and experiences more than theories. They are decisive, loyal, tradition observing individuals. They enjoy being the person in charge and often make good supervisors.

I agree with the Personality Test because all of the following information does relate to me. For example: It says i would make a good supervisor, which is true. I babysit my niece and nephew every week and i do have to take charge and take care of them. They are babies so whatever i ask them to do they would listen. I watch them like a hawk. They are younger     so i would have to take on the role of being a adult and making sure they are behaved. 

Another example is that I'm loyal, Which is very true. I am loyal in many ways...  In my relationship i am loyal and honest, i feel being loyal is a necessity because it makes you feel positive and makes other people think your loyal.

This information relates to my ten year plan because they say i enjoy observing individuals and make a good supervisor, this relates to my future job because i would need to pay close attention and take care of my patients. 

I like the results of the Personality Test because it pretty much describes me and exactly the way i live my life.
