Representation of teens: Another lost child

I think this person had a tattoo that says ‘Another lost child’ because he has lost a friend or relative that is a child. I think this because he was in a gang and in a gang children get involved ,sometimes gangs have wars, and children get killed so I think he had a tattoo because he has lost someone.

Also, this tattoo “Another lost child’ could mean that another child has been involved in the gang. I think this because when a child joined a gang they lose there life because they have devoted their life to a gang and could be killed or put in prison. So the child has lost their life to a gang.

Why did he get the tattoo after being stabbed? What might it symbolise?
Do the photographs represents teens negatively or positively? Why?

The photographs represents teens positively because it shows that the teenager thought about his life and he decided to change his ways. Some teens will go back to the gang after being stabbed but this person has thought about his life and changed his life.

Word ossaction for teens:
Gangs
Feared
Hope
Hated
Vulnerable
Aggressive
Rude
Guliable
Ignorant

How does Shakespeare show Prospero’s change of character in the tempest

In the beginning of the tempest, Prospero is introduced in act 1 Scene 2 where he tellvs Miranda about the tempest that has happened and how the ship had crashed. Prospero tries to say he has created this tempest for her safety. Then Prospero tries and says that he done no harm to anyone as its says on line 13 ” There’s no harm done.” So Prospero tries to be careful with his words to stop Miranda crying and being sad for the injured people that Prospero has harm in the tempest. Also in the scene we are introduced to Ariel who is a spirt that is loyal to Prospero and will help him whenever. We find out that Ariel had gone on the ship whilst it was burning. And we find out that Prospero made Ariel start the tempest and burn the ship so Prospero could face his enemies.

Later on in act 1 Scene 2 we are introduced to Caliban. Prospero and Caliban hate each other as the insult each other like when Caliban says “With raven’s feather from unwholesome fen drop on you both!” This shows that Caliban responds to Prospero by saying that an unwholesome fen will drop on Prospero and Maranda. In this scene Caliban says that the island was his mother’s and his mother gave it to him so he is the owner of the island. I know this because he says ” This island’s mine by sycorax my mother”

Next, in this play we see Prospero in act 3 scene 1. In this scene we find out that Ferdinand loves Miranda and Prospero does not like this idea so he makes test of his love to Miranda. I know Ferdinand is in love with Miranda because Firdinand says ” Indeed the top of admiration, worth What’s dearest to the world.” This shows to me that Ferdinand really loves Miranda. Also i know Prospero hates the idea of Ferdinand and Miranda in love. I know this because Prospero says ” poor worm thou art infected; this visitration.” This means that Ferdinand love is just a disease.

At the end of the Tempest Prospero appoliges to everyone and in the epologe he says ” As you from crimes would pardoned be, Let your indulgence set me free ” this means that Prospero wants to be freed of this his usurped.

In the whole of the play the theme of revenge has been shown. I know this because Prospero started the the tempest to get his enemies to the Island so he can take revenge on them but all of this changes Prospero’s mind and he wants to be free and leave them alone.

The road not taken

Robert Frost uses the idea of a cross road to show the difficult decision humans have to decide. For example, Frost describes ‘Two roads diverged in a yellow wood’ to show the indecision. The two roads show the walker has a desision to take one road which could be inccoret but the other one could be inccoret so they are equal routes. But the walker sees that one road has be walked down by many people and the other has been not so will he follow the path of everyone or will he be different and go his own way. This whole passage is a extended metaphor describing the two roads one everyone hast one down or the one nobody has gone down.

Robert Frost used the picture of an undergrowth place to describe the road no one has taken. For example, Frost describes ‘And looked down one as far as I could/To where it bent in the undergrowth’ the show the path that no one has taken. The bent in the overgrowth shows that the path has been left alone so it has not been cut to clear the path of others because people will not go down that path but will follow others and go down their path. This is an extended metaphor because it symbolise that people are always following other people’s paths (of life) and this walker may be like other or he will decide to take his own path(of life)

Robert Frost uses the image of paths to symbolise people taking the same life as others. For example ‘Then took the other’ to show that people take the same path as other and will not decide to take their own path. The path that everyone has taken shows that he has taken the path of everyone and he doesn’t decide for himself and take the other path. The idea of the path shows that everyone takes the same path and doesn’t decide for themself

What is Authorial Intent?

Literal meaning means a simple meaning, a direct meaning or it is a meaning without figurative meaning.
“Do not infest your mind with the beating of this strange business”
I think the literal meaning is Do not worry about this what has happened.
The metaphor in this are infest, beating, strange business.
How does Shakespeare present Prospero at the end of the play:
Shakespeare presents Prospero at the end of the planet by saying he is trying to be kind and forgiving to everyone and everything they have done to him. Also he wants to be free and get off this island as he says “Let your indulgence we me free” which means let your pardon set me free of his punishment. Which is he being stuck on the island forever. Also this could mean he wants to go home.

In this scene Gonzalo, Alonso, Antonio, Sebastian, Prospero, Francisco, Ariel and Adrian are in this scene.
In this scene Ariel has stood up to Gonzalo Sebastian and Alonso. Ariel says ‘ Ling’ring perditon’ Which shows that Ariel is threating that Ariel will slowly kill them. I chose it because this shows that Ariel challenged the 3 men.
