And so I must eat
No Matter my apperence in the street
The meat is bitter sweet
As I grip and grind with my teeth

Few thoughts run through my head
just hunger pain and dread
I must, I must, theres no turning back instead

As i hold my child in my fists
Theres no other fate I would wish
Apon my spawn
I could not imangian
the world among beasts and savage

where my little one would have to feind
for life and home
amongst foe and friend.
So i silence my morals
and kills my Concioncs
To save my son from a life of sin

Sonnet 1

From fairest creatures we desire increase, That thereby beauty's rose might never die, But as the riper should by time decease, His tender heir might bear his memory: But thou, contracted to thine own bright eyes, Feed'st thy light'st flame with self-substantial fuel, Making a famine where abundance lies, Thyself thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel. Thou that art now the world's fresh ornament And only herald to the gaudy spring, Within thine own bud buriest thy content And, tender churl, makest waste in niggarding. Pity the world, or else this glutton be, To eat the world's due, by the grave and thee.

This sonnet was basiclly saying how everyone loves the worlds beauties, so we try to hold on to them as long as we can. The speaker was also saying how beauty will never die as long as we reproduce.
In the next few quardirns the speaker turns his attention to a human example. Where a man refueses to have children. He says how the guy is the beauty of the world now. But as time goes on he will become his own worst enemy, by dieing with out passing on his beauty.

The Wife of Bath

The wife of Bath was one of my favorite tales. It keeps me interested till the very end. The wife of bath's views on marriage and sex were very enlighten to me as a youth. She was a very headstrong woman and had alot of common sense. She believed that god wanted her to have as much sex as possible, under marriage. Something I found most interesting was the way she like when woman treated her bad, but she knew how to control and manipulate them. She would constantly marry for money, with her older husbands. But with her 5th one, she found herself more in love then ever. Many women in our day and age do this. They will marry for money, and some would even go as far as to kill their husbands. However, I don’t think the wife of bath would go thought all of this when she knows exactly how to control her husbands. Another thing is the faith she puts in god, and the way she believes that what she's doing is perfectly okay. And when priest and ministers tried to tell her otherwise all she asked for was the proof in the bible where what they were saying was right.

The modern Day Pardoner

The Pardoner is a very untrustworthy person. He fools the world with this ideal of intelligence that we all have set in our mind. In the present day the pardoner would be a legitimate con artist. Most likely the head of some legal but not very beneficial pyramid scheme. He would wear fancy suits and talk very proper, but in a very trusting voice. He would be between 20 and 30 and probably never grow out of the con phase of his life, because he wouldn’t know how to work an honest day.

The pardoner's tale in this day and age would probably be something like, him getting sued for taking these peoples money without offering them what they thought they were getting. But somehow use his money, skills, and connections to get off the hook.

Sooner or later the people would get smart and stop buying into what ever he’s selling, and he'll be out on the street, probably thinking of another plan to use people, and get ahead in life. I believe the pardoner was a very captivating character and can be used to teach us alot about values and our own morels. Even in this day in age. Although his tale wasn't as good as his actual character (in my opinion), it was still interesting, and taught me alot about greed and even trust.

In today’s world, greed and trust would be an important factor to someone like the pardoner. It would be important to have friends you can trust when you’re abusing so many other peoples trust. And he, just like everyone else in this world would really have to worry about greed and maybe getting too much from the world.

Riddle me this!

I am feared
I am celebrated
I am cold and still
I am thought of often
I will always happen

Most times a surprise
rarly waited on
can be wanted, but most dreed me
always at the end, but is never the end

take a wild guess!

Is Grendel Really a monster!?

I myself dont think Grendel is a monster. He has just grown up with a harsh mother and is continuously being pushed around by the king. There are moments where he does barbaric things, but there is always a sence of humanity in his actions. This is not to say that he didnt deserve to die. Grendel was not perfect. But who in this epic poem was? In my opinion every major chacter was a monster, at some point. For example, The privous king was a monster for having sex with grendels mom and liying to his towns people about it. Beowulf was a monster for having an alternate motive in mind for killing Grendel. Grendel was a monster for killing donzens of soliders as they slept. This poem although filled with heros and villains is not so much writen in black and white like most people would think.

My responce to Vladimir Nabokov's "Good Readers and Writers"

After reading the powerful passage by Nabokov, I find myself with a new found appreciation for writers. According to Nabokov all good writers must convey the skills of being a great storyteller, who can create an almost imaginary world with nothing but their words. I also value the wonderful skill of reading and will use his advice to build my reading skills and therefore becoming what he describes as a "good reader". But it is here where I and Nabokov's opinions on being a good reader differ.
I believe it is absolutely possible to be a good reader without having several of the skills Nabokov deemed essial. For example Nabokov says a good reader should be an author himself. I do not agree 100% with this, for good reason. I think a reader can grow to be an author himself, but I believe a reader can read without having any urge to write.
