Comparison of the Two Scenes

                The two scenes have in common on the value of family and the kingdom or the political authority.   The wife pleaded to be   considered first in behalf of the kingdom.  But kings have responsibilities and accountability to his people which they have to give their priority first.

                The scene differ in Iliad because king Hector have make a way to place his family on a safe place before he resume to defend his kingdom.   It was a wise move for the king, so that at the end his son and wife survive.

                This situation is common on our lives.  We are to choose between things that are precious to us.  We do not know what to choose, but our feeling well guide us on our best choice.

Ultimate Victory through Defeat and Terrible Loss

                Ultimate victory through defeat and terrible loss has proved an important but elusive concept on winning and losing.  It is important because the solution their problem requires the prior identification of the relevant elements from which a solution can be constructed, that is the victory should be earn  through terrible loss of lives and the power .

                To the Greek, they were victorious using arms, power and tricky action just to win.  This is in human since they did not give their opponent equal chance to fight.  They won their victory with tricks, the use of the Horse with warriors inside, which cause the defeat and killing of majority of the Trojan.

                This victory in modern times is not victory at all.  They are also defeat because live of people were lost.  Both parties have casualties.  Resources, power and authorities were destroy.  Families were displacing.

My feeling on Aeneas Story on the Fall of Troy

My feeling on Aeneas Story on the Fall of Troy

                I sympathize with Aeneas tell he tell the story of the fall of Troy.  Troy was a powerful empire during that time.  They were having the most organize system of political system.  Having these characteristics made them know to have powerful defense in term of their security.  The have well trained warriors with courage and dedication to served Troy and to defend their King and the royal family.  The warriors were disappointed with not defending their kingdom. But the fight was not fare. They were attracted by enemies during the night.  They have the idea that the enemies have left the shore.  The horse as received in gratitude of having a peaceful compact with the enemies.

They lost their kingdom on the hand of their enemies, defeating Troy was an honor to most warriors, and the downfall was the greatness of their enemies. The war which ended their kingdom has a devastating effect on its people. There was lots of killing of children and female.  People were displacing.  Each family lost their love ones.  The once peaceful and abundant kingdom was now in trouble because of the beauty of Helen which was known later as the face that launches a thousand ships.

                Even dido sympathizes with Aeneas and fell in love with him.  She was so touch of the story that the princess marries him.   But Aeneas was entrusted to look to a new place to rebuild their lost kingdom. 

Mona Lisa: Enigmatic Smile

    Serene. Beautiful. Untouchable. All of those words can be used to describe the subject of Leonardo Da Vinci's best-known painting, "The Mona Lisa." And, while almost everyone knows what she looks like, no one knows her story. Her life is a blank canvas, open to whatever tale we wish to weave about her history, her background, her relationship to the painter, and the reason for the slight smile on her face.

    For me, I believe that Mona Lisa portrays an enigmatic smile because there is a puzzle on her face that resembles for a big value. The smile gives a question about her mood. The Mona Lisa's smile is very unique because it is quite confusing. Her eyebrows affect her smile. 

    I think it's a portrait of the artist as a young woman; an overlay of Leonardo's face, taken from a known self-portrait and sized to the right scale matches the size and spacing relation of all the features. That might account for the famously subtle smile on the lips of the subject. 

Student’s Inferno

For every decision we did, there’s always a consequence behind, and we know about this. We live in this world to make decisions for ourselves and for the people who surrounds us. The result of the decision is our action which will be the basis on how much we deserve to be in heaven.

Each circle of hell was composed of souls of students who committed sins in school and those who violate the rules and regulation of the campus. The first circle is for the students who violate the school’s policy especially who don’t wear their IDs for a long time, improper haircut, improper uniform and others. The punishment is that their hairs will be removed and they will run fifty times longer than the time they did their sin. The second circle is for the student who lied. The punishment for them is that they will be on a place where there are ants’ colonies until the ants bite them. They will spend forty five times that the time they lied. The third circle is for the murmurous students. The punishment is that they will be put in a place where there are huge stereos all they heard will be written on the stone wall. There, they will spend forty times longer than the time they murmured. The fourth circle is for the students who are selfish; they just ignore their classmates when they need their help. The punishment for those students is- they will bow their heads as a sign that they are regretting what they did. They will spend thirty five times longer than the time they had been selfish to others. The fifth circle is for those who always make fun of their classmates. They will be punished by drowning them to a drum of water. Every 15 seconds they will rise to catch their breath, the punishment will last for thirty times longer than the time they tease their classmates. Second to the last circle, the sixth circle is called the circle of pervertedness. The eyes of the students will be sewn and they will walk on a live maze. The last circle is for the cheaters. Here, they will run on an icy track-and-field carrying a heavy load.

This composition has a purpose. This is not just a trip to laugh on or for entertainment but this is a composition that somehow shows that we have to make decisions wisely and thinking of the possible outcome of that particular decision. Knowing that destiny is a matter of choice, we have to think thoroughly if we chose a better one and also knowing that we can face the consequence behind. For every action you did there is a good or bad karma in return, so watch you move.

Francis M.

                Francis Magalona is a wonderful artist and is one of my favourite rappers. He started from the very beginning to his journey to success. He has a loving family who is always there supporting him besides his fans who never stopped on appreciating him. He became one of the panellists in the “Philippine Idol”, entered the world of acting, became a guest artist in some songs and concerts, and had his own concert as well. Then, the day that I am most feared of came. August 2008, Mr. Francis Magalona terrible disease, it may be curable but it is a little too late for Mr. Francis, leukaemia. He died after suffering from his malady and that day of his death was one of my most depressing times.

             

                   If I’ll be going back in time and meet him or maybe meet his soul today, I’d be glad.

      I can imagine us talking about our favourites and memories. If I really have a chance to meet him, I’ll never hesitate to request a song or have a duet with him. I’ll tell him how much he inspires me and how I idolize him. He’ll tell me advices that’ll be useful to my life and health. I can also imagine that tells me his life, his hardship, and how he loves his family. That chance of meeting him would be the happiest day of my life.

      If I were to meet him, I would thank him for his wonderful contribution on the rap department. It would help each youth to pertain and sustain his contribution. I would like to thank him to teach us how important the music be part of my life. I would be glad if I and Kiko would have a performance to be a remembrance of his greatness. I would also thank him because he inspires me on how to give importance to music.

Dearest Guianna,

            Love? I don't know what is the meaning of this word but when I met you, I understand now what love is. We all know that you and I are just new friends but I think we knew each other very much. During I'm doing this letter, I remembered how we met and became friends. I asked my friend to get your cellphone number and you gave it to him because you know him very much but you don't know that I am the one who ask him to get your number. We had our first communication last July 20, 2012, do you remember this date? This is also the date of your Mother's 1st death anniversary. You are very sad in that time and I did all the things that will make you happy. At first when I saw you, I had only a crush on you but when we already knew each other, I already love you.

           I was very happy because we had a related hobby, your hobby is watching basketball and my hobby is playing basketball. I was very inspired when you watch our basketball game in our school and I did my best in playing and I dedicated my game to you. I remembered the day you forced me to tell my secret to you and that secret was I had a crush on you. Because of that secret, we had our 1st bonding moment with each other. I was surprised when you greet my father when it was his birthday. When you are sad, I am always here for you to make you happy. Some of your friends and relatives already knew me because of my feelings to you and because of I always talk to you by always calling you in your cellphone. You know, you changed my life. When I met you, I became loyal to you and I will not look for other girls that I will love because I love you and you are my one and only.

         There was a moment that I was very sad, that was when you are not going to school because you was sick and was confined in a hospital. Your best friend told me that you will transfer in other school because your aunties wanted it but you don't want because your mother wanted you to study in CNSHS. But it didn't happen and I was happy for that. I'm sorry for all the things that I did to you and I always told you that I am sad but I can't tell you why. This is because of my feelings to you and sometimes I was jealous to others. I knew that many boys had a crush on you but me, I love you very much!! :))

         I think I was the luckiest person all over the world because I met you and became my friend. Thank you for all and you are my inspiration in my life. Always remember that "I Will Wait For You" and "I Will Not Give Up Until You Love Me Too"!! :)) <3 I LOVE YOU GUIANNA THERESE ESPINELI DENDIEGO!

Forever Yours,
Calvin Klein V. Castro
