If You Do The Crime ... You Have To Do The Time!

If You Do The Crime ... You Have To Do The Time!

I i have read a book before when i was in middle school and it was about a high school girl who was a dancer  and she got good grades and she was tight knit to everyone ;and this man ( he was a con man) told the girl that she would be perfect on the big screen. this man told he that over 5000 to millions of people who know who are. of course the girl thought he was a man about his business so she said yes to the deal. the girl friend told he she shouldn't do that because its like a lemon law he didn't have any type of business card stating where he worked or who he worked for. after a couple of  days the girl went missing and nobody knew where she went but her friend ( but the girl said not to tell anyone where she is because the man will kill her and her family or anyone close to her) .towards the end of the book the girl was tricked she got raped and couldn't escape from where she was until her friend came to the rescue because she knew where she was for 6 1/2 months she didn't tell the girls family or anyone until she saw signs around the community looking for a missing girl. why this was interesting  was because knowing you have a friend who didn't say anything after 6 months to her friend being missing says a lot about the person and their actions. knowing if your like a bystander and you know what happened and didn't bother telling anyone she could have got in a lot of trouble. what pulled me into to this story is it thought me a life lesson not to hide anything for anybody because if your in great danger  they could be the ones to help you. also not to talk to stranger because if you tell them your business they could mess up your reputation  and take what is valuable from you.

Blog Post 13 : The End Of Oedipus & The Prophecy .... AND Drama

Welcome Back To My Blog ! Segment 13 : The End Of The Whole Play & Tie It Up 

Based on the lines :1423–1431 and 1462–1547 you can see that their was a lot of terror that happens. we wasn't expected that kind of tragic semi ending in the play. First in the play we can see that Jocasta did something un-bareable! she committed suicide because all of this drama was to much for her to handle. Oedipus walks in and see's his mother/wife just hanging their not knowing what to do. based on this he is just speaking to her/himself. he is basically apologizing for everything that he had caused all he wanted to do was help and making everything go right. Oedipus was determined to do it all and get answers . but that didn't happen all at once the way he wanted ,because he was cooped up with finding out this family affair business. But the curse that the seer was speaking about was true because 1) Oedipus found out that his wife was his mother 2) he will be blind ( because he jabbed his eyes out with Jocasta Brooches ). Oedipus had a lot of self deception in hims self through out this play thats why people pitted him for a lot of thing and why nobody wanted to take him seriously. that was my out-takes for the lines 1423-1431 & 1462-1547.

Blog Post 12: What, if any, connection that exists between determination and self-deception in the play?

Self-deception

Welcome Back To My Blog: What If Any Connection That can be exists between determination & self-decption in the play.

Determination

   Words To Think About:

1. Determination:firmness of purpose; resoluteness

Self-deception: the action or practice of allowing oneself to believe that a false or unvalidated feeling, idea, or situation is true.







Based on these two words it has a lot of connection to the play and the characters. based on the definition of determination Oedipus wants to put the pieces together to find out whats going on who killed who ; how can this madness be out to an stop , how can the town be saved he is trying to find the resolution to all these things. based on the definition of self-deception it fall more for the characteristic of Jocasta to me and also Oedipus because through out the play we see Jocasta change from this independent woman to this person who is trying too help figure this out for her husband/child. Jocasta doesn't really know what she is growing into because she runs out of the temple because she doesn't know whats really going or why she is really doing this. how this definition represents Oedipus is from the start of the play he was this person who doesn't believe it until he see's it ( or until someone saying "HEY DUDE PAY ATTENTION ITS TRUE " )  he changed from that to a non-jerk face to a nice sweet person who wants to help making everything goes right because he wants to find the truth.

Blog Post 11: What Relationship Does Sophocles Establish Between Prophecy And Oedipus’s Actions?

Welcome Back To My Blog ! Segment : What Relationship Does Sophocles Establish Between Prophecy And Oedipus's Action?

Words To Think About: In Greek Mythology 

• Prophecy: A Prophet or Prediction

Who is Sophocles ? he isn't in this story matter of fact he is not even a character   because is basically the author and creator of this dramatic twisted story. Throughout the story Sophocles establishes these things about Oedipus and the towns people it started off like this .... because Oedipus was this played back , laid back type of king but theirs a lot of drama and with this drama he didn't know what was going on. But now putting the pieces together based on Oedipus sad  back round he wasn't a king before that  he was running away from something that was bothering him utterly. But what the relationship Sophocles establishes  between Oedipus and the prophecy actions is that Sophocles makes Oedipus this dramatic king who goes through a lot of irony because you would have thought since he is a king everything would go so well for him but it it the total opposite of it. Oedipus wanted to help his Prophecies but with all this drama he can't even focus on them and with these actions. Oedipus fails to know what to do  he is trying to balance work for his town and the prophecies but he by doing this job trying to "help" he ends up finding out these things and gets more worried about that then actually trying to figure out whats going on ( but that clearly doesn't work) The prophecy can't really have any actions into this because they are oblivious to even  speak up to whats going on because they think Oedipus is this all mighty king and everything will go back to pretty flowers and sunshines. But with that people are dying, mothers aren't having their children ... its basically a big mess in this story.

What will happen to the prophecy ? will Oedipus ever help his town & find out the truth ?

Blog Post 10: Use several of the following vocabulary words to summarize the argument between Oedipus and Creon

BLOG POST 10: Segment  Use several of the following vocabulary words to summarize the argument between Oedipus and Creon.

          Brother in law .vs. in denial  king 

Based on the actions of Oedipus he is making false accusations about Creon.He isn't letting Creon state his point on what happened that day between Tereseias and what was REALLY going on. whatever Oedipus says you cant disagree. ( which clearly shows that when you do tell him the truth he goes really crazy. Creon on the other hand just went be hide his brother in law back and started talking about him. that was such a betrayal.Oedipus has a right to be a little mad because if you are family you need to stick together not go and talk be hide your families back. but on that hand Oedipus wasn't all that right because you should listen to what that person has to say then you could state your point , curse them out , etc. all together both Oedipus and Creon are handling this situation childishly they both are grown and could have found another way to handle to situation and have a happy ending ( but all know that isn't going to happen)

Blog Post 9: How does Oedipus’s response to Creon change the Chorus’s attitude towards Oedipus in lines 626–628?

Welcome Back To My Blog ! : Segment 9  How does Oedipus’s response to Creon change the Chorus’s attitude towards Oedipus in lines 626–628?

Who is Creon// whats going on between Oedipus and Creon;

1. Creon is the oldest of Oedipus and Jocostas children.
2. he is a somewhat wise person
3. he HAD a lot of respect for his little brother Oedipus 
4. Oedipus got really upset with Creon because he thinks that Creon took sides with the seer (Teiresias) because Oedipus doesn't know if this seer guy is a fraud. 
5. Creon is feeling a type of way because he thought that him and Oedipus were cool but after Oedipus just came up to the palace and said what he had to say and didn't let Creon state his point!

                                     
What Will Happen To Creon , The Chorus , & Oedipus

Based on lines  626-628 you could see that Oedipus wasn't to pleased to have an encounter-ment with Creon. as stated in the document it states that Oedipus said that "There's one thing you do not have to tell me - that you have not done wrong" based on this line you could see that based on the news that Oedipus received he thinks that Creon has something to do with it and everyone (the chorus) doesn't know whats going on ( such as knowing whether or not Oedipus knows whats going on to stop this madness in the town , who killed the king, and will their be any good to come ). The chorus attitude  change because they start to grow this huge confusion on whats going on and suspcsion because they don't know whats going because Oedipus doesn't know what to tell these people because he is still trying to figure out whats going on.
