Me outside of class

I am not the same in class than outside. I love Improv. I go to improv matches every week and I partake in some with my team. We play at the Tour a Biere in Chicoutimi. Also, I like to play guitar. I just started but I love it. I like to create things, to draw and to write. I also like to do stuff with my friends.

My six word memoir is: LIVE LIFE; LOVE LIFE; DIE ALIVE

Podcasts

The first song, it Stairway to Heaven, by Led Zeppelin. It's interesting because, at the begining it wasn't supposed to become a complete song. The second song is Live and Let Die by Guns and Roses. An interesting fact is that Guns and Roses did not right this song. It is a remake of the 1973 song by Paul McCartney and the Wing for a James Bond movie.

The subject of the song is the girl in the story who lives only for money. One of the main themes is greed because the girl wants more money and she thinks money will "buy her a stairway to heaven" and happiness. I found interesting that the song had such a good message because I never really took the time to analyse all the lyrics of Stairway to Heaven even thought I love this song.

Becoming Mr Hyde

Jekyll becomes Mr Hyde without taking the liquid. When Dr Jekyll tries to stop being Mr Hyde, it doesn't work. Basically, Jekyll is Mr Hyde. He is a part of him and he cannot reject the evil side of him. It is not his fault to have become My Hyde and killing Carew because he cannot controle himself.

DJMH research project

After reading the Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, I have to say that I liked it. It was a very good book that was interesting because it explored human nature. The theme is universal. The fact that it was written in the victorian era makes it even more interesting because it give a historical point of view.

For my research, me and my teammates decided to talk about science in the victorian era. We will be talking about engineering , technologie, medicine and health inovations that happened in britain during the victorian era. Also, we will talk about how this influenced everyday life in britain, and how Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde relates to this.

The website I mostly used was Wikipedia because it had alot of information and was very complete.

Edgar Allan Poe

I have read The black cat by Edgar Allan Poe in literature last year. I liked it because of its subjective nature. You read the story through his eyes which isn't a reliable source. This adds to the mystery in the text.

Poe was born in America and was orphaned at an young age. He spent five years in an English Classical Academy in England. After the death of his wife from tuberculosis, he became a drunk and died soon afterwards.

I've seen parts of the movie Sleepy Hollow last year in my french class. I personally, do not like scary movies all that much but I guess the public likes it because of it mysterious nature.

Poetry

Definition: Poetry is an imaginative awareness of experience expressed through meaning, sound, and rhythmic language choices so as to evoke an emotional response. Poetry has been known to employ meter and rhyme, but this is by no means necessary. Poetry is an ancient form that has gone through numerous and drastic reinvention over time. The very nature of poetry as an authentic and individual mode of expression makes it nearly impossible to define

William Carlos Williams was an american poet closely associated with modernism and imagism who also happened to be a physician.

Elephant

As the elephant

climbed over

the top of

the sun

First the trunk,

then his body

clumsily

then the elephant

stepped up

into the side of

the milky

way

This is just to say

I have danced with

the dandelions

That were in

the field

and which

you were probably

saving

for daddy

Forgive me

they were nice

so funny

and so playful

Irony

Vebal irony is saying one thing and meaning something else. Example: The teacher tells you to continue talking when she wants you to shut up.

Situational irony is when events turn out to be diffenrent than what was expected. Example: Someone holds up a bank with a gun and gets shot.

Dramatic irony is when the audience know more about the situation than the caracters. Example: On a TV show, you know that these two people have a crush on each other, but they do not.
