Your class discussions were fantastic on Viva La Vida..I really enjoyed this unconventional lesson. Now it is your turn to wow me with your intellectual prowess, that you have developed as a direct result of it. Next Tuesday you will turn in two things: Your analysis of Viva La Vida (line by line treat it like a poetry explication) and your Alchemist notebooks. Then we can dedicate the week to discussion of the Alchemist and prepare for Maus and Othello! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to e-mail me :) Good Luck!

Vision Boards/VivA La VIDA Welcome Back!

Hello Bambis Welcome Back..Dust the cobwebs off of those dendrites and gray matter....It is time to jam: First and foremost your Midterm

Questions...Of course I did not forget (unfortunately for you my brain did not get abducted by aliens over break)

Here they are: Yes I know you love me :)

Please select ONE out of the following three selections in which to create your midterm essay. You will be graded on your planning, organization and execution of your essay. Please be conscientious of your verbiage, grammar and voice. Make sure to incorporate literary and rhetorical devices into your exam. Best of luck to you my Bambis’!

1. The Englishman, whom Santiago meets when he joins the caravan to the Egyptian pyramids, in searching for "a universal language, understood by everybody." What is that language? According to the Englishman, what are the parallels between reading and alchemy? How does the Englishman's search for the alchemist compare to Santiago's search for a treasure? How did the Englishman and Santiago feel about each other?

2. In the play Antigone, two main themes are addressed: The concept of moral conscience vs. authority. Delineate the two main characters stances of their respective beliefs. Which of the two has a stronger argument? Which of the two is correct in their belief? Does their choice of stance affect their fate?

3. The flower myths all seem to touch on the theme of fatal attractions. Explain the correlation between all of the myths and the inevitable ill fates of their protagonists. All of the “victims” of these myths died in the “springtime” of their lives. Explain the concept of the seasons of life in depth, highlighting the significance, of why it was so important that they were taken in this stage of life.

Vision Board

A Vision Board, also known as a Dream Board, is one of the most powerful ways to put the law of Attraction to work for you. A Vision Board is a collage of words and pictures of the goals and dreams you want to attract in your life.
It is extremely important to use the exact image of what you want to attract, because whatever you put on your Vision Board will become part of your reality!
For example, if you want a specific kind of car, make sure it is exactly the type, model and color you desire.

To make a traditional Vision Board you will need a big piece of cardboard, scissors, glue and tons of magazines and newspapers. Go through the magazines & newspapers and search for images of what you desire in your life and cut them out. Personally, I found looking on the net and printing them out easier for me. Cut out the images and words and glue them on your cardboard.
For more power, add affirmations such as “I love driving my new car” or “I love swimming in my new pool”. This reinforces what you desire. NOTE: Always make an affirmation in the present tense… as if you already have that which you desire. As I say all over this site, it’s all about creating the feeling. I wrote an article on affirmations which can be READ HERE.
Hang your cardboard on the wall where you will see it on a regular basis. I hung mine on the wall directly opposite of my computer, so it is always in front of me while I work in my home office. You may want to put it up at your at your desk or in your bedroom or kitchen. Whatever works for you.
Look at it daily, and really FEEL as if you have already achieved the things on your Vision Board. Be thankful for having those things. Look at your Vision Board as often as possible with focused intent. It will amaze you as the things on your Vision Board start showing up in your life. Remember, you do not decide or plan how they will come, you just visualize already owning the things, and they will simply show up. This is great fun!

Actual Lyrics:

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt, and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain
Once you know there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become

Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest work
But that was when I ruled the world
(Ohhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
(Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh)
