Scene I.- III. in The Merchant of Venice

I find it hard to play the role of Antonio accurately in Shakespeare's The Merchaint of Venice . What I am playing marks having the bond taken by Shylock and Antonio. The treatment to Bassanio and Shylock presents an extreme difference. First of all, I need to show my faith to Bassanio because he is my friend who beyond our usual relationship, so the trust between us pours into the dominance in this part. Nevertheless, I have to treat Sylock badly since he is the Jewish whom I loathe, and I once have spat on him, exposing my discrimination for him. Here, Antonio is a Christian but you can see how Christian behaves in a thoughtless way while having the discourse with Shylock. Antonio's melancholy has been given by the outcome of the trial, which leaves him the foreshadow in this drama. But it doesn't bother here. The key point here falls on the struggle in interacting with Shylock and Bassanio for both extreme treatments and the balance of keeping bearing. Antonio here sur

Keep My Finger Crossed

Oh, time flies, next year is coming soon, the horrible linear time makes me hard to accept this truth at present. Still, loads of assignments to do. And something surprised me yesterday. David decided to assign five to eight pages term paper! Oh, no. How can I handle this work by far. And he made this decision rather than assign the oral presentation. So the oral presentation has been ignored at present. However I find it easier and sooner to prepare the oral presentation instead of writing. If doing the term paper, the form, topic and thesis statement are all required in MLA academic style. I am just feel a bit anxious about it because the quantities of paper pages are quite more than before. Pretty worrying. Besides, I'm going to graduate from college, can't believe it! Four years, and the graduation will have been waiting for me in no time. And the next stage might be the graduate school if lucky. Hope that I can make it good on my assignments and research papers. Most impor

For Jean Chou- We Are All Impressed By Thee

The anger made thee so necessary To blurt out thy emotional plea Surprised that we all watched thee For the way thou showed indeed We are all impressed by thee Just consider twice before doing please Though the crowd are satisfied as they see They do nothing harm but thee 'Cause she's someone whom we want to pee If there were a time that Shakespeare took a peek He might have felt sorry learning her trick That his work has been tricking with the dim No matter how tough and mean she is She can never and ever tear our dream Like a gigantic monster with which we confront Even though powerlessness stays within And when catching a big fish in the stream Don't forget to let it go under the lee of thee. Dear, Just consider twice before doing please Though the crowd are satisfied as they see They do nothing harm but thee.

Running Up That Hill

It's hard to find art rock music in my opinion because art and rock seem to conflict with each other in some way. Based on the information of Wiki, art rock embodies the elements of art, avant-garde and classical music. This type of music is quite odd that it tends to form the fantasy or open a door for entering a peculiar world of selves. It is like you are looking some pictures or other artistic work that make you feel unusual after plunging into the works' image. The part of avant-garde can be the interpretation of ourselves in terms of creativity and capability for imagination. Nevertheless, who would have thought that Kate Bush had hit the ground in her young age, carving out the art rock of her own, showing her unique perspective in composing music with artistic and literary elements as well as her dancing within the songs she expressed in the musical video such as "Wuthering Heights" and "Running Up That Hill." Besides Bush's songs, it occurs to m

In order to build up my confidence more strongly, some great songs I would like to recommend to all of you. I've been listening to these songs recently, exploring the meaning and its melody that I'm truly gratified in the whole process of listening. Perhaps they don't work for you but me, anyway, to try listening to new types of music is always a good thing as far as I'm concerned. And these songs just blow my mind. Ok, no more craps, let's cut the chase. Firstly, of course, Keane's "Leaving So Soon" is one of my favorite, and be sure to pick out the Live version (O2 Arena is the best in my opinion) cause it'll make you feel bursting with all your eagerness to do something you want right away. This song actually is like a counteractive reaction for showing the personal grievance in a flashing mood. You might burn with your anger step by step and then explode right away, feeling that you're truly not afraid of the difficulties you're confro
