This vacacion's assignmet was to listen to really long radio show featuring, guess what? HAMLET OF COUSRE!!! The show is about a Hamlet version preformed by inmates of a Missouri prison!!! That´s hardore.
In this preformance, we can clearly see how the inmates relate themselves with the characters in the play. All of them, specially the one who impersoned Claudius, could canalize their feelings of guilt, rage and desire for revenge in their characters. This causes their interpretation of the play into a very deep preformance rich in subtextual interpretations that are enhanced by the increadibly preformances of the actors.
Something funny about the play:
Imagine th guy in oicture A, impersoning the guy on picture B.
The lesson here is that it does´nt matter if you are good, bad, black, Jack Black, Tiger Woods, a tiger in the woods, or a tiger in James Woods; you will always be able to make a great preformance on a play. Unless you are Homer Simpson, or maybe he could... ?

Essays, Essays, Essays... Why Lord, Why!?! (Create Your Own Entrie Edition)
Here comes (The Sun!!!; yep, Mr. Tangen, Beatles reference) another of my classic essay analisis responses. This time, however, I´m going to try an experimental way of writing that is called "read only what you want"!!! This is how it works, Im going to give a list of choices for you to pick and you will only read the paragraphs with the number of that choice. Lets give it a try:
1. I want to read a serious Hamlet analysis.
2. I want to hear about the story of the shrimps of Anapoima
3. I want to Read about why the Beatles are the best rock band of the world´s history
4. Read?!? Im sick of reading for today!!! (Straight to the video)
1. Northrop Frye´s essay debates if a man can be judged only by his actions, or for what he intends to do in the precie moment of the judgment. As it is one of the keys aspects of the play, Frye describes the situation between Claudius and Hamlet. He states that Claudius has a great potential but he is stained by his crime, point I like. I think nobody can scape his past; man is the slave of his words and actions, so in a certain way, we ca be really good people but to kill any chances of success because of our past actions. True, true... there is the second chance policy that mayb rescue Caludius from his criminal figure, but he killed the king, he killed his own brother and then married his wife!!! Is this guy totally ignoring the golden rule (is not the Lonely Island one...) you dont ride on your friend´s horse. I think that a man is judged by his actions, and it should not get second chances when his crimes are great. (Note: Mr. Tangen, please don´t cnsider this as your class policy).
2. Once upon a time, a kid ate shrimp in Chicala (country club in Anapoima) and he suffered of food intoxication. Lesson, dont eat shrimp in hot places that are far away from the ocean.
3.The Beatles are the best rock band in the world´s history. There is no explanation needed for this statement.
4. Random video, actually not so random but totally anoying and hilarious.

Analitic Response (...Or, The Homework I´m Supposed to Do Anyway)
Ok, here it goes... My first blog entry since the road, and I´m kind of nervous... Well, ,aybe just too lazy to admit I don´t really enjoy spending my off-school time analyzing Hamlet essays.
On August Wilhelm (Ha ha, like the funny scream from action movies!!!)
essay, he describes the character of Hamlet as a master of the art of deception, that masterfully achieves to make the people arround him that he is mad by impersonating the looney in a way that not even Natalie Portman could achieve.
On contrary, Hamlet is describe as a man that is a hipocrite to himself, as he over-thinks the stuff he wants to do, ruining his own success. Is said that Hamlet is one part of wisdom, but three parts a coward.
My thoughs on this matter are split, he is a master of acting and all of that; but who says Hamlet is a coward (please dont say August), he is brave enough to kill his mother and his uncle. He finishes the act of revenge, so he is braver than many people in my english class. (Pollo thats you; just kiddin´)
What else can I say, I really dont want to keep on writing, so here is the traditional video at the end of my entries:
