i love you for a million reasons and no paper would do it justice.
it is not a thing of the mind but of the heart. a feeling. only felt.
although being grounded sucks, life isnt so bad right now. Im getting my car back tomorrow :) only 17 more days of wasting my life away. I have a 13 page paper due tuesday that i have yet to start. way to procrastinate. UHM im almost positive that i have a STALKER from tmb. not sure how i feel about that yet. i also find out this weekend if i am officially going to college or not, ugh. Fuck college. i hate it already. i just want to get out of here. i want to move outside virginia beach. lax was AMAZING<33. |

Because I could not stop for Death-
He kindly stopped for me-
The carriage held but just Ourselves-
And Immortality.
On a lighter note, im grounded until forever. Why? Marijuana. And I quit my job. Goodbye Nissan Sentra. Ripped the plates right off. Hello Miss I get THREE fucking incompletes on a report card. and the best one is “goodbye college” even though I’ve gotten in everywhere I applied to.

| i love this school |
[Apr. 6th, 2006|12:27 pm] |
so i was leaning against my locker talking to amanda, and this short sophmore who is as big as a house came up to me and was like "why are you standing half way in your locker?" and i looked at her and said "Im clearly not even close to standing in my locker, why are you talking to me?" And she walked away. The end.
THEY WON LAST NIGHT!!! it was my first time watching a lacross game. VERY intense. i got to stand on the sideline of a division I men's lacross game next to about 30 gorgeous players. but it was a really close game and it was freezinggggg. I love my school to career, probably because i get to sleep all day and then do nothing except hang out with college athletes. |

quick update on my hectic life.
friday was probably one of the most intense days ive ever had. well, from what i remember of it. Rebecca came home so i didn't go to school and went to her house. Then later on we went down to URI to see Hal's band play, but ended up leaving because neither of us could function and i was ready to fight someone. Thenn I went got food with Mat, and Landan picked me up to go to some crazy ass hotel party in Foxboro. At like 3 i was convinced that i was literally stranded in Foxboro, until some girl who i dont even remember her name gave me a ride. I got home at 345 and passed out.
on saturday i slept most of the day. I pulled a 'no call no show' for work. Then i went out with kate. I got mad crafty. and then went to a party at bentley college for the rest of the night. the car ride home was probably the highlight of the entire night.
sunday i went to the beach. it was amazing. and did lots of other things that i dont feel like typing
monday i didnt go to school. i went to newport and went shopping*. then worked for the first time in like 2 weeks.
tuesday i WENT TO SCHOOL. OMGZz. then hung out with justin til like 730 and spent the night at uri. fun times.
today im going to the PC lacrosse game at 730. i missed my boys. and then i don't know what im doing. |

| mollie, please just double space this. thank you tonzz. |

Alex Lister
Merchant of Venice
By creating a character like Shylock that is alienated from his own society, Shakespeare is able to paint a picture of the culture in the 1500s. Not only is Shylock belittled by the Christians, his own society of Jews also seems to dislike him. You get a sense that although Shylock may portray a villain, it is the beliefs and values of society that help to depict him this way. The only thing on the Christians minds is trying to get the Jewish people to convert to Christianity. Shakespeare makes this clear when Shylock is forced to become a Christian after he loses the battle in the courts.
When the play The Merchant of Venice takes place it seems that the only thing that matters is being wealthy and being a Christian. No matter how much money you had, if you weren’t a Christian you were considered nothing. No Christian would give you the time of day. Forced to live in the Jewish part of Venice, it is apparent that Shylock and the other Jews had a bitter resentment toward anyone who wasn’t Jewish. You can also see how the Christians, especially the wealthy ones, treated the Jewish people. When Shylock sees Antonio he calls out to him, but Antonio just spits on him like a piece of trash.
Although the Christians do not always do something wrong to deserve hate from the Jewish. When Jessica runs away from home to marry a Lorenzo, a Christian, it seems that Shylock becomes obsessed with getting revenge on Antonio. Not only does he want plain revenge, he was a pound of flesh which is the heaviest penalty. You tend to feel a form of empathy for Antonio when Shylock wants his pound of flesh, but at the time you want to congratulate Shylock for standing up to the Christians.
In the 1500s, the two worst things to associate yourself with was Jews and moneylenders. Unfortunately for Shylock he was both. In him are embodied two of the deepest and most widely prevalent social antipathies of two thousand years, prevalent still, but in Shakespeare’s day sanctioned by the teachings of religion besides.â€(From Shylock pg. 129). It is safe to say that the prejudice towards Jews and moneylenders was passed down from generation to generation and therefore never changed. You can’t help but think that the Christians might have treated the Jewish people different if they had grown up with different morals.
Towards the end of the play Shylock makes a good point when he is speaking to Salerio. “Hath not a Jews hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions?-fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as a Christian is?â€(The Merchant of Venice, III, 1, 56). When Shylock speaks these words you feel pain along with him. You hope that the Christians will understand and start treating Jewish people better. Although it wasn’t Shakespeare’s intention to make his audience feel sympathy for the Jewish moneylender, Shylock, he is able to achieve it. Shylock is able to evoke emotion from the audience with one simple statement, “If you prick us, do we not bleed?” (The Merchant of Venice, III, 1, 61) With this the audience is left wondering how the Christians can continue to treat the Jews this way, when in fact they are the same human beings. |

I DONT WANT TO BE SICK ANYMORE. w89et udfug 903. so yeah, i went to work for an hour last night. went to make tattoo appointments with rebecca <333 wicked excited. me and carter are going to get pierced together. tomorrow im going to lowell with sam and vinny to see guns up. w3rd. i havent been to school all week. im going to have sooo much homework to do. |

on friday i got dismissed from school so i could go eat lunch with my nine year old brother at his school. it was cute. then i went to URI to see yavinfive. it was fun for the most part. and then went to some party for them, very awkward. at like 3 me and rebeca left and went to a 24 hour cvs to buy food. and then we went to her apartment and passed out.
saturday i drove home and then mike came over for hours. thennnnnn i hung out with emerly kate and we went to Amazing for the first time. so lame. i was pissed when they didnt even ask for an id. i felt wicked sick the entire time, and then at like 11 i finally went home. and went to bed. pathetic, i know.
today i slept most of the day. wicked sick with either A-mono (thanks to tom for giving to everyone) or B-strept throat. i called out of work, i havent been there since tuesday and it feels great. i picked up my sister from the mall at like 630 and apparently samzig wants to party with me. haha. i didnt even think he knew my name.
im going to the doctor's tomorrow. ksdjafh ghjkhg. probably calling out again. i want a new job. shaw's sucks. im convinced that i have the best school to career intern possible. i love going to their games and watching they beat the shit out of each other with sticks. im getting bored with this. bye. |
