we accept the love we think we deserve

The articles are about if its right to change or not change the original works of an author to make it more understandable for its readers. George Will favors changing it so it is more understandable where as Stephen Greenblatt thinks that they should be kept in there integrity and not changed.

George Will thinks that books should be changed because they might have underlying meaning that you might miss because of the language in which it is written for example “ Shakespeare's Tempest reflects the imperialist rape of the Third World.” in addition Will agrees with Atlas's thought that states “transmission through knowledge of literature and history is faltering” I believe Will thinks the transmission of knowledge is what they will be stopping if they do not allow for books to be translated so others can read and get the meanings and the knowledge from them.

Stephen Greenblatt disagrees with George Will he thinks books should be kept in the integrity for instance. “It is, I believe, all but impossible to understand these plays without grappling with the dark energies upon which Shakespeare's art so powerfully draws.” he feels you can learn the most from the actual text because you get to feel what Shakespeare felt while writing it.

I agree with George Will I feel that Shakespeare’s plays should be translated but also they should also be left the same. You should be able to choose which for you would like to read and study and get knowledge from. If you feel you can learn better by reading the original text then by all means do that . But I feel both options should be open so that student have as much possibility of understanding it as possible. Everyone learns differently and that is why I think this.

tempest act 2 and 3

THE STUPID WHITE MAN IS TAKING OUR LAND! throughout the tempest as well as Charles Bressler's Literacy Criticism: An Introduction to Theory and Practice.  its is expressed how there are stereo type for native Americans in modern day society as well as in Shakespeare's time intertwine savagery with uneducated barbarity. But I feel a big part of this comes from how people become afraid in what they do not know or understand so they kill or segregate that is which they fear. But what is to say the ones doing the killing and segregating are not the savage and barbarians. Just because someone talks or thinks different doesn’t mean you should take over them and make them think the same way you do because that ends diversity and diversity helps the human population learn. In the tempest Prospero say's “Thou poisonous slave, got by the devil himself Upon thy wicked dam, come forth!.” Prospero found Caliban on the island and thought him his language and how he thought without taking into thought Caliban's thinking about things and his language and how they might have meaning to him then or in the future.

the tempest ACT 1

OH NO POOR MIRANDA! Prospero manipulates his daughters mind while they are alone on the island together; by telling her stories of the past that make her feel sorry for him and how he lost his


high ranking title. The things he tells her pretty much brain washes her to believe how he wants her to.



With Ariel Prospero force Ariel to do his bidding because he keeps bringing up how he saved him from the evil witch and how Ariel owes it to him to be his slave. He keeps telling him that he is going to release him after he is done with what Prospero wants him to do , “Thou shalt be free As mountain winds. But then exactly do all points of my command.”



Prospero enslaves Caliban with the threat that he will ruin his life with the powers Prospero is blessed with. He threatens him with pain and sorrow if he doesn’t do as Prospero wishes. “For this, be sure, tonight thou shalt have cramps, Side-Stitches that shall pen thy breath up. Urchins Shall, forth at vast of night that they may work, All exercise on thee. Thou shalt be pinched As thick as honeycomb, each pinch more stinging Than bees that made 'em.”

candycorn is gross

i feel that the circle of truth!!!!!!!! was quiet intense . i felt like the conversations got heated. but i liked it .  i feel we had many different points of views and opinions. i felt that Thomas Jefferson should not be removed because of just what he thought and said. it says freedom of speech in Amendment #1 and so i think that he should be respected for what he believed in even if you don't agree. in addition i believe church and state should be separate. i disagreed with the article completely and i feel the Texas board of education is completely wrong. they should have consulted with more people, taken votes, maybe even consulted the court system.
