Relations between humans and Gods

In the epic of Gilgamesh the relationship between the gods and the humans is ruff. One second the gods will be helping the humans, and the nest they are trying to destroy them. For example the gods show a form of friendship with the humans you can say when they create one that is an extraordinary human. But then just a little bit later on they are showing hate in their creations by casting a bull of heaven upon them to destroy, to sending enormous flood to wipe out all living things. I guess you can say that the gods and human beings relation ship is like an old married couple. One second you love each other and the next you are trying to kill each other.

A red, red rose

This poem is about love of course and a man making it about his love. i think they are separated or far apart and this man is writing a poem about what he feels when he is not with is girlfriend or wife. when you read this it makes you feel happy and hopeful and know that love is out there for everyone and that relationships can last from anywhere.

The change in Gilgamesh

To be human you have emotion, you feel pain, you have an opinion, and you are not perfect. If you are human you can not usually do anything that is past what your body can withstand. an example of when a character shows humanity is when Enkidu dies of sickness from the gods. When Enkidu is laying sick next to Gilgamesh he is telling him that the gods are taking him, and Gilgamesh and Enkidu begin to cry. In that scene, the god men, Enkidu and Gilgamesh show humanity. By losing a loved one.

 But to be an exceptional human being is you must be able to do things that other humans cannot do. In the story when Gilgamesh kills Humbaba, a beast sent by the gods, which is an example of exceptional humanity, another example of exceptional humanity is when the goddess Ishatar is enraged at Gilgamesh and wants him to be punished so she sends the bull of heaven down to destroy his kingdom, but him and Enkidu show god like power and defeat the bull of heaven which then enraged the Gods.

Fire and ice points

The poem fire and ice speaks to me. i think it is interesting how the world will end someday. Maybe in 2012, but no one knows for sure. but i know that when it does end, i would prefer it end in ice, because i hate hot weather.

Fire & Ice

What I like most about the poem "Fire & Ice" is how it talks about how the world will end. It's a little bit depressing through the 30 seconds the poem lasts but it speaks to me. It makes me wonder, will the world end in fire? Or in ice? This poem is good and worth reading if you have 5 seconds to read a poem in your free time.

Trees

TreesBy Joyce Kilmer

(For Mrs. Henry Mills Alden)

I think that I shall never see

A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest

Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast; - This is my second favorite line because i like how joyce made it 

                                                                                       seem as if the trees trunk was a mouth up against the earths    

A tree that looks at God all day,                        breast.

And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in Summer wear

A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain; - This line just makes me chuckle when i read it along with another one 

Who intimately lives with rain.            earlier in the poem.

Poems are made by fools like me, - This is my absolute favorite line. the early parts of this poem could be 

But only God can make a tree.            written by a kid but the part, just makes the poem great

I like this poem because i have had the opportunity of using it in the past. But what i really like the poem, and the reason i picked it the first time i used it is because it talks about one of the earths most important qualities... "Trees". When i read this poem i feel all warm and excited on the inside. Without trees we may not be able to breath, and because i love life, i love trees. I also enjoy using it because when i recite it, it is very easy to remember.

Antigone

From Antigone s point of view I see where she gets off on wanting to break the law. Even though the king made the law where she cant burry the one brother that betrayed his country, he shouldn’t be mad enough to where he kills her over it. Even if Polynecis went against his country, it was for a cause. I would probably do the same if my brother tried to seize all the power for himself.  My opinion on what Antigone is doing to burry her brother, I am all for it.

But I can also see where Creon is coming from with this law and his anger about wanting no one to burry the body of Polynecis. He can’t come off soft to his kingdom and let a traitor be buried, so as his punishment Creon is not allowing his soul to go to heaven. This really in a complicated pickle, considering after Antigone “buries” Polynecis, Creon wants to kill her, but he can’t because his son Haemon is going to marry Antigone.

What Inseme is doing though “I” think is really stupid. When her sister Antigone is taking the full fall, why should she want to go down with her? I understand that from her point of view she may feel diffidently about Antigone than I do but still, if I had a get out of jail free card I would take it, Not get executed
