English honors- Hamlety

Hamlet Response Journal

After reading the story, Hamlet is highly unsatisfied with the marriage of his uncle, Claudius, to his own mother, Gertrude to gain power. Hamlet tries to talk some sense into his mother's head about marrying his uncle but is unsuccessful. I honestly feel sorry for Hamlet having to go through complications in his family. If I were have to put up into a situation like Hamlet, I would definitely try to prevent this from having as because it is disgusting having your own mother marry your uncle and the feeling of betrayal. However, the ghost of king Hamlet bring news to Hamlet that he was murdered by Claudius. If I were Hamlet and just letting my uncle kill my father getting away with it ain't going to happen and would try every possible way to prove him guilty or to kill him.

I had never experienced betrayal and disgusted like what Hamlet is going through because I trust my family friends and I doubt that they would betray me. People that I love are people with attitudes not like Gertrude or Claudius, they do not think about power nor are they greedy.

The words of choice of Shakespeare were unique and the combinations with slang's. He was really good at describing the surroundings of the characters and how they feel about it. His choice of vocabulary was difficult to understand and makes me think about its meaning. The setting and the clever use of the characters that were involved by a certain scene were all carefully planned out too.

The only portion of the play that still troubles me is when he was in the ball room talking to himself after the crowd had left. The clever use of sophisticated words confuses me of the meaning of what he was trying to say.

Spectator Sport My New Home


         The day was bright and windy, I grabbed my bag and hopped out of  the car. Although this isn't my first time, I still had that qualm feeling of moving to a new place. I was at my new house, a place where I would stay until I am done with my work as a student. Standing there in front of the door to the lobby I thought to myself, this place all looks so alien to me. I stretched my body then made way to the back of the car to help unload our things. My dad passed me bags after bags to be sent loaded up to the trolley. The lobby was brightly lighted, people were still sitting around reading their books and newspapers and minding their on business. I pushed the trolley through the lobby pass the reception and into the elevator with decorum so that I looked friendly.

          I entered through the tiny doors of the elevator along with the trolley carrying the bags and pressed the sixth floor. The elevator was playing some cheap classical music that weren't too bad . At the moment, there was feeling a bit apprehensive as I have never seen the house before. *Ding!* The elevator doors open and quickly found the door to my new house. Without hesitation, I unlocked the door to my new home and gave myself a short tour. The place was fine, the floor was a dark brown parquet floor and the walls were white. The lighting of the house weren't that good. At the end of the living hall was that the balcony that had an fantastic view over the grandiose Chao Praya River.


         It wasn't long until my dad came barging in along with my mum ruining the silence of the house locking the doors behind them. The atmosphere changed. My parents started giving instructions to each other and then me. The house became a war zone, my family were rushing cleaning up the house as it was getting late. 2 hours into the cleaning spree and we were done. Exhausted, we decided to just sit and admire the rivers beauty and left us satiate.


         As we were settling in, we watched the sun set and the river came alive. Cruises with pretty lightings started sailing along the river, nearby buildings lighted up the night skies with colourful lightings and we could hear people singing at distance. And for a moment I seemed to have forgotten about that regretting feeling.


Just describing the first day here...no idea how to make it any more interesting like the other students...
