8th post The Tyger AND The Lamb

                                               "The Tyger"

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare sieze the fire?

And what shoulder, & what art.
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

     "The Lamb"

Little Lamb, who made thee?
Dost thou know who made thee?
Gave thee life, and bid thee feed,
By the stream and o'er the mead;
Gave thee clothing of delight,
Softest clothing, woolly, bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice,
Making all the vales rejoice?
Little Lamb, who made thee?
Dost thou know who made thee?

Little Lamb, I'll tell thee,
Little Lamb, I'll tell thee.
He is called by thy name,
For He calls Himself a Lamb.
He is meek, and He is mild;
He became a little child.
I a child, and thou a lamb, 

 We are called by His name.
Little Lamb, God bless thee!
Little Lamb, God bless thee!

The Tyger and The Lamb were both poems by William Blake. Blake as a child was an outcast, and did not have many friends. He was educated from home by his parents and fond sociability difficult. His family believed very strongly in God but did not agree with the teaching of the church. During his lonely hours Blake often read read the Bible. He had a lot of free time to think about ideas reflect on life. You could find a lot of biblical discourse in his poems. Blake published very famous books of poems: Songs of Experience and Songs of Innocence. Poems from the Songs of Experience are all about the God who brought all the evil and suffering ino the world. The poems from the Songs of Innocence are about the redemptive God of the New Testament, like Jesus. The Lamb is from the Songs of Innocence and The Tyger is from the Songs of Experience. The Lamb is the contrasting poem to the The Tyger.

WE Filipinos are mild drinkers. We drink for only three good reasons. We drink when we are very happy. We drink when we are very sad. And we drink for any other reason. its about this american soldier who was bragging about his drinking habits. then he met an old farmer who offered him a drink in a coconut shell. by the third fill, he admitted that filipinos were mild drinkers.

WE FILIPINOS ARE MILD DRINKERS!!!! ;)

6th Post The Cask of Amontillado

 The Writer of Cask Of Amontillado

Edgar Allan Poe

                                                                  SUMMARY

The cask of amontillado is the story of a man who gets rid of his enemy.
We don't know what the connesuer does but he is left in the end of a catacomb. The main character speaks of some amantillado he wants tasted.
A man named luchasi is also a connesuer and he tells his victim he might as well take it to luchasi instead of him because he doesn't want to waste his time. To make things short, they walk down these catacombs, niter covers the walls, the victim has a cold and continues to cough as they walk down the cold damp catacombs. When they get to the end, the victim is drunk. The main character chains him in this little cave and then uses masonry stuff to lay bricks over the entrance. Then, he screams. As he leaves, the main character mentions his family crest which essentially says if you attack me I attack you quietly, but twice as hard.

Be careful every time,don't get to abuse to things like in the case of the story he is very wine lover. look what happen? he just rest in peace with his wine.but i find the story pretty cool though :D i wish you liked it too :)



THE END

5th Post King Arthur and the 12 Knights of the Round Table

"STONED KING ARTHUR"

 

King Arthur was a legendary British leader of the late 5th and early 6th centuries, who, according to Medieval histories and romances, led the defence of Romano-Celtic Britain against Saxon invaders in the early 6th century. The details of Arthur's story are mainly composed of folklore and literary invention, and his historical existence is debated and disputed by modern historians. The sparse historical background of Arthur is gleaned from various sources, including the Annales cambriae, the Historia britonium, and the writings of Gildas. Arthur's name also occurs in early poetic sources such as Y Gododin.

 The 12 Knights

Sir Lancelot/Launcelot du Lac-- Trusted knight of Arthur, had an affair with Arthur's wife Guinevere

Sir Galahad-- Son of Lancelot, a Grail knight

Sir Perceval/Percival- one of the Grail knights

Sir Kay- Arthur's foster brother, became Arthur's seneschal

Sir Gawain-- Arthur's nephew

Sir Gaheris- Arthur's nephew; brother of Gawain, Gareth, Agravaine, and half-brother to Mordred

Sir Gareth-- Arthur's nephew; brother of Gawain, Gaheris, Agravaine, and half-brother to Mordred

Sir Agravaine-- Arthur's nephew; brother of Gawain, Gaheris, Gareth, and half-brother to Mordred

Sir Bors-- cousin of Lancelot, one of the knights involved in the quest for the Holy Grail

Sir Tristan/Tristram-- nephew of King Mark of Cornwall

Sir Lamorak- son of King Pellinore

Sir Bedivere-- one of the first knights to join Arthur and the Round Table, he gave Excalibur back to the Lady of the Lake


These twelve were usually the most commonly named knights seated at the Round Table.   

The Round Table is King Arthur's famed table in the Arthurian Legend, around which he and his Knights congregate. As its name suggests, it has no head, implying that everyone who sits there has equal status. The table was first described in 1155 by Wace , who relied on previous depictions of Arthur's fabulous retinue. The symbolism of the Round Table developed over time; by the close of the 12th century it had come to represent the chivalric order associated with Arthur's court, the Knights of the Round Table.

4TH POST My Favorite Poet William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare (Baptized April 26, 1564 – April 23, 1616) was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world’s preeminent dramatist. His surviving works consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several shorter poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. 


Summary of the plot or story  "Romeo N Juliet"

         

                        
Shakespeare's tragic drama of the "star-crossed" young lovers Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet is best remembered for the famous balcony scene. Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet are teenagers who fall deeply in love but their families are bitter enemies. They seize the moment and marry in secret, they make every effort to conceal their actions but these end in tragedy when Romeo, Juliet, Tybalt, Mercutio and Paris all die. The themes running through the play address the issues of the consequences of immature blind passion, hatred and prejudice.

Ms Shakespeare is my favorite poet  and this is also my favorite poem haha ms Ly im pretty sure you already read the story right? its really  nice story. my favorite part is when Juliet says "romeo take me somewhere we can be alone ill be waiting all there's left to do is run you'll be the prince and ill be the princess its a love story baby just say yes"hahaha joke only :D well ms this is my 4th post i wish you liked it.

2nd Post The Mighty BeoWulf

BeowulF



Who Is BeowulF?

"Beowulf" is an English epic poem, written in Old English, 3,182 lines in length. The work of an unknown author, the poem was composed between the 8th and 11th centuries. The story centers on Beowulf's encounters with three antagonists. In the accounts of these battles, Beowulf is described as having superhuman strength, unassailable courage and impeccable leadership skills.

"The First Antagonist Grendel"

 

 

  Grendel bursts into Heorot. He tears the door from its hinges with his bare hands and immediately devours a Geatish warrior while Beowulf carefully observes. When Grendel reaches out to snatch up Beowulf, he is stunned to find his arm gripped with greater strength than he knew possible. Grendel longs to run back to the safety of the swamplands. He tries to escape, but Beowulf wrestles him down. The combatants crash around the hall, rattling the walls and smashing the mead-benches. Grendel begins to shriek in pain and fear; the sound terrifies all who hear it. Beowulf’s men heroically hack at the demon as Beowulf fights with him, but no weapon on earth is capable of harming Grendel. Beowulf summons even greater strength and rips Grendel’s arm completely out of its socket. Fatally wounded, Grendel slinks back to his swampy home to die

The Second Antagonist 

TIGER LOOK

Beowulf swims downward for the better part of a day before he sees the bottom. As he nears the murky lake floor, Grendel’s mother senses his approach. She lunges at him and clutches him in her grip, but his armor, as predicted, prevents her from crushing him. She drags Beowulf to her court, while a mass of sea-monsters claws and bites at him. Beowulf wields Hrunting, the sword lent to him by Unferth, and lashes at Grendel’s mother’s head, but even the celebrated blade of Hrunting is unable to pierce the monster’s skin. Beowulf tries to fight the sea-witch using only his bare hands, but she matches him blow for blow. At last, he notices a sword hanging on the wall, an enormous weapon forged for giants. Beowulf seizes the huge sword and swings it in a powerful arc. The blade slices cleanly through the Grendel’s mother’s neck, and she falls dead to the floor, gushing with blood.

The Last Antagonist

"The Dragon"

The Dragon Battling with Beowulf And Wiglaf

Beowulf strikes the dragon in the head with his great sword Naegling, but the sword snaps and breaks. The dragon lands a bite on Beowulf’s neck, and blood begins to flow. Wiglaf rushes to Beowulf’s aid, stabbing the dragon in the belly, and the dragon scorches Wiglaf’s hand. In desperation Beowulf pulls a knife from his belt and stabs it deep into the dragon’s flank. The blow is fatal, and the writhing serpent withers. But no sooner has Beowulf triumphed than the wound on his neck begins to burn and swell. He realizes that the dragon bite is venomous and that he is dying. He sends Wiglaf to inspect the dragon’s treasure and bring him a portion of it, saying that death will be easier if he sees the hoard that he has liberated. Wiglaf descends into the barrow and quickly returns to Beowulf with an armload of treasure. The old king, dying, thanks God for the treasure that he has won for his people. He tells Wiglaf that he must now look after the Geats and order his troop to build him a barrow that people will call “Beowulf’s Barrow.” After giving Wiglaf the collar from his own neck, Beowulf dies.
