Assignment 7: nationalism promotion.

Benjamin Franklin's political cartoon was the first in America and one of the first of its kind. It had a large effect on people's views of the French-Indian War and a larger effect on the American Revolutionary War. Never before had such a cartoon made such an impact on America and even now 'Join, or Die' is possibly one of the most influential cartoons in American history. It connects to Aeneas because he is the leader of the all the men that survived in Troy and trying to find a new land. ‘Multum ille et terrie iactatus et alto vi superum,’ supports this theory because even though the men are thrown much both on earth and the sea, they keep going no matter what the obstacle is, just like the American Revolution against Britain. They had a lot of conflicts with the Native Americans in the beginning and this was also used to support the French and Indian War. The Join, or Die poster promoted nationalism by asking people to either join the democracy and overthrow Britain’s control over them. It made people realize that without unity in the new land, everything would be broken apart. Benjamin Franklin, one of the founding fathers, worked very diligently to convince people to go against Britain’s control. Just like Aeneas goes through many pain in order to get to Latium, the first people that settled in theUnited States went through a lot of pain too. ‘Disiecitque rates evertitque aequora ventis,’ and he scattered the ships and overturned the seas with winds. He clearly goes through many hardships in order to get to the place that he is supposed to be at. The picture shows how the serpent is dead since it is cut up by many parts. This clearly foreshadows how the United States would be 'dead' in a figurative language if they do not unite together as a whole. This promoted nationalism in the United States.

Assignment 6: Comparison between Metamorphoses Tale (Book 5: The death of Pyramus) and the movie King Kong.

The similarities between Pyramus and the King Kong is that they die because of misunderstandings. Pyramus is late to meet Thisbe and he sees her veil that is covered with blood and he immediately assumes that Thisbe is dead. He takes the blood-stained veil to the mulberry tree and he decides to kill himself under the tree. The tree is now covered with blood and that is 'how' the mulberry tree became 'red'. This is very similar to King Kong, because King Kong loves a girl named Ann Darrow and he is not harmful at all. However, the cops are worried that he is a monster when King Kong only wanted a girl. King Kong meets his death on top of the Empire State Buildling where he is shot to death and falls from the building. Their stories are similar that they both die because of the misunderstandings. If Pyramus has waited for a little bit, he would see that Thisbe is well and safe. Also, King Kong would not have to had face death if he did not act carelessly. They both tragically meet their death due to their rashness.

The most common aspect that both characters have is passion for their lovers. Pyramus was willing to give up his life for Thisbe and King Kong saves Ann from death by giving up his life. It can be said that Pyramus is quite dramatic, because he uses lines such as 'one night kills two lovers'. Another characteristic that they share are that they are both quick to act irrationally instead of thinking through a situation. Although they both have bad and good characteristics, they are both famous for dying for their love and preserving their love no matter how irrational it may have seem to the readers or the watchers.

Assignment 5: Comparison between Metamorphoses Tales (Book 7: Medea agonizes over her love for Jason) and movie __The Notebook__.

The story of Medea's love for Jason and the love story between Noah (Ryan Gosling) and Allie(Rachel McAdams) show many comparisons between the two. Medea falls in love with Jason basically at first sight. She cannot stop thinking of him and she does not wish for his death. In order to receive the Golden Fleece from Medea's father, he had to overcome impossible tasks that her father has set for him. Medea, well knowing that these tasks are impossible, wants to help Jason. She asks herself, "Shall I betray my father's country?" and tries to come up with an answer. In the movie __The Notebook __, Noah falls in love with Allie at the first sight. He keeps asking out her on a date and even though she keeps refusing, he asks persistently. With the help of Noah's friend, they go on a double date to the movies. He always looks out for her and even if her parents are against him, he keeps trying to accepted. Another similarity is that Jason goes on a journey for the Golden Fleece and meets Medea and Allie is on a vacation when she meets Noah. Perhaps it is fate that they meet one another unexpectedly. Another similarity is that all the characters are going through internal conflict. Medea is going through an internal conflict because she cannot decide whether to help out Jason by giving him hints to save himself or staying true to her family. Allie's is going through internal conflicts because her mom does not allow her to see Noah anymore. Noah write to her for years, but since Allie never replies, he stops. He never gets the answer to why she does not write to him back until later in the movie. Jason is conflicted because he knows that he does not want to marry her, but he agrees to receive the Golden Fleece. The comparison and similarities between the two works are that they all have internal conflicts with themselves, family forbids the relationship, and that they love one another.

Assignment 4: revised. __In Time Of Silver Rain__

The earth puts forth new life again, Green grasses grow And flowers lift their heads, And over all the plain The wonder spreads
 * In time of silver rain

Of Life, Of Life, Of life!

In time of silver rain The butterflies lift silken wings To catch a rainbow cry, And trees put forth new leaves to sing In joy beneath the sky As down the roadway Passing boys and girls Go singing, too,

In time of silver rain When spring And life Are new.

Langston Hughes ||

===Langston Hughes uses imagery for rain and says how each time it rains, a new life begins. Horace says the same, but he says that each day is precious and it sould be used wisely. "Nec temptaris Babylonios numeros.", meaning "You may not study Babylonian astrology". Today, Astrology is used to look at the stars to predict the future. However, Horace is warning the readers to not look at the future, but appreciate live and live in the present. People these days are always planning ahead or the future, but we always forget that people can die any day. If one knew he/she/ was going to die tomorrow, would he/she do the same things that they do everyday? the answer is NO. They would take more risks and go out to the world. Tell his/her lovers, family, and friends how much he/she loves them. Everybody should be able to "Live as if you'll die today,", because then, it will be living the life to the fullest. Hughes says 'In time of silver rain When spring/And life/Are new.". Silver rain gives the readers the image of good feelings or starting of something new. Silver usually means happiness. Silver is something that is pure and clean. Also, the image of rain is something that cleans the world. That can be a metaphor for cleaning the wounds or the past of someone. Also, Horace mentions the "Tyrrhenian Sea" to remind people that even in the dark and there are rocks, do not fear the unknown. He advises people to just go with the flow. People will be able to live their lives more happily if they go with the flow and live their life to the fullest. Horace says "carpe diem," meaning "seize the day". He wants to people to live in the present, neither the past nor the future. He also says "you should cut back long hope", which is saying that to enjoy the moment, you should not have hopes for the future. ===

===Take a look at everyone today. We always live for the future and we all cannot let go of the past. Hughes says to wash away the pain of yesterday and start fresh as of today. We always let the present go by without giving a second thought. Horace points out that we should "believe in the future as little as possible", which is "credula postero uam minimum". This is a very impossible thought today, knowing that everybody lives for the future. However, nobody should let their lives go past by them without stopping to look at all the wonderful things that happens by them everyday. Maybe, there would be one day that nobody cares about the future or the past and is able to "Carpe Diem!" without having to face the consequences of the future. ===

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> [Mr. Biggs] <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> Or you could be just sleepin' with her <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> Now son, man to man <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> We both know the game

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> [R. Kelly] <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> But yet, what's that got to...

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> [Mr. Biggs] <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> Now, wait a minute <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> And you know...all about heartache and pain <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> This is my Goddaughter <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> And I'm just tryin' to protect her heart <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> You may have been a moon to her <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> But to me, she's the star

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> [chorus]

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> [Mr. Biggs] <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> Kelly, take this home

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> [Kelly] <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> She was my best friend <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> You were my husband <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> Oh, but I don't want you <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> No, no, no, no, no more <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> Said, I don't want you <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> No, no, no, no, no.

The singer of this song also trusted her friend just like Catullus trusted Rufus. "Rufus, I trusted you in vain" is the proof that he trusted Roofus.In the song she says<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal;"> "But he betrayed me" and that " <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;">She was my best friend". It is clear that she had trusted these people very much and that she was betrayed by them. Catullus points out that his insides are burnt and the lyrics "He meant everything to me, everything to me" tells us how much this special other person has meant to them. To Catullus, Lesbia was his everything and when Rufus took her away from him. Kelly says how her husband was everything to her and how her best friend took him away from her. At least Kelly had someone to protect her like Mr. Biggs who stood up for her while she was being hurt. Catullus also says how Rufus is the poison of his life and basically he is ending his friendship with Rufus since Rufus decided to cheat on Lesbia, Catullus's love. Kelly also says "Oh, but I don't want you. No, no, no, no, no more", which is saying that she is not willing to continue the relationship with both her husband and her best friend. Kelly and Catullus share a lot of common feelings, betrayal. The betrayal by the trusted people are the most hard to deal with. Catullus and Kelly both dealt with their friends cheating with their significant other. They relate to each other by sharing their feelings of betrayal by their friends by writing a song or a poem.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> This song reminds me of how Catullus feels so much pain, but how he is unable to stop loving Lesbia. Just like in Catullus 8 how he says 'I hate and I love', makes a lot of sense, because he is confused in what he is feeling. He feels foolish because he is unable to let her go and that is clearly expressed in 8 in line 1. He calls himself foolish and he says that he is feeling miserable. In the song, it says that he cannot stand how much he needs his girl and that she takes advantage of him just like Lesbia does to Catullus. Just like the lyrics, it says that a kiss or a touch makes up for everything that the other person has done wrong. This clearly defines the power that Lesbia or the significant other has on the other person. Lesbia probably knew that she could take advantage of Catullus and she did take advantage of him. She took advantage of his love just like the person Rhianna is singing about in this song. Catullus' feelings correspond with Rhianna's feelings because they are both taken advantage of by their lovers. They are also unable to control their feelings toward the another person. Their inablity to stop loving the person that many not love them back and use their emotions are another mutual feeling that they share. When he says "Miser Catulle, desinas ineptire," he knows that he is being played. He wants to become an independent person. He hates that he loves her so much just like the title of the song. He feels tortured just like in line 2 in poem 8 that he feels it happening. He know that their relationship is not gonna last for long and he feels very sad about it. Catullus and Rhianna share the same feelings that they hate the fact that they love someone who does not love them as much, but they seem to not know nor care.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Assignment 1: <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Catullus 5 reminds me of this song, because it is talking about a relationship that cannot be met easily. In the case of Catullus and his lover, Lesbia, they cannot be together due to the society and her marriage. In the case of this song, they are in a long distant relationship. Even though Catullus and Lesbia are close together, they are technically in a long distant relationship, because they cannot be official together. In the song it says that she would walk a thousand miles just to see him that night. That line "da mi basia mille, deinde centum" translates to "give me a thousand kisses, then a hundred.". reminds me of this song, because she is willing to walk a thousand miles to see him. Also, in the song she says that she misses him and she needs him. Also, in Catullus 5, line 4 states that "the sun may set and rise again", which means that there is a possibility of a new beginning for the lovers. In the song, when the author is walking towards her lover, she seems to not notice the surroundings around her, because she says "faces pass...staring blankly ahead/Just making my way/ Making my way/ Through the crowd", which means that she is not acknowledging the people around her. In Catullus 5, line 1-3 states that they should love even with the rumors of the old senate men. Just like when the song is not acknowledging the people passing around her, when he says to ignore the rumors of the old senate men, the meaning of the two lines parallel. This song "A Thousand Miles" and Catullus 5 shows parallelism. media type="youtube" key="dAXnPrWvZak?fs=1" height="383" width="478"
