Blog # 15
Throughout the semester, I was obligated to work on a blog containing 15 entries, this being the last one. From blog one, I have realized that the entries have been varying in length as well as sophistication. It seems as if my entries are longer on the topics I have been interested in. Those topics are the ones I have had to most to talk about. My blogs acknowledge all sources properly by using citations or links. They are also supported with examples from the text as well as being in an easy to read style.
Writing online for me was incredibly different from my other writing experiences in the past. I have never wrote any online blogs before or even discussed a certain topic with the use of blogs. Although it was a new experience for me, I have learned a lot while writing the blog entries. From the beginning to end my blog has changed dramatically. I have improved on my grammer and spelling as well. While writing, I have also realized that discussing certain topics of Kindred, Much Ado About Nothing and poems had a great effect on me. I was able to understand them better. To help me write my blog entries, I have occasionally, read other classmate's blogs to obtain a few ideas of how I can write it on my own.
The lessons that were taught in the class, has helped my writing and reading abilities. So, in that case, I wouldn't be taking any of them away. Everything that our proffessor, Dr.X has lectured about was thourougly detailed and helpful. The most memorable moment was when we played the jeapordy game as a class. We had the chance to learn about the characters from Much Ado About Nothing. It taught me a lot and at the same time I had a lot of fun. For future students, I'd reccomend to stay up to date with all the homework and blogs. They shouldn't save everything for the end of time. With these reccomendations, the class will definalety be a breeze.
Please re-read Blog # 13
Thank you

Much Ado about Nothing
June 2nd,2012
Blog #14
Much Ado about Nothing by Shakespeare was the first drama that I've ever watched. I ended up really enjoying it. This will be my last blog entry. I was told to choose one blog that I am most proud of and that would probably be Blog #13. In that blog, I've discussed how Claudio and his fellow soldiers had come to Hero's grave site to express their deep sorrow and guilt. Claudio and John Pedro had realized that they killed Hero, even though she was innocent. This blog taught me an important lesson which was to think before you act.
While watching the movie and reading the book, I had also learned a few other things. The Literary Quiz was really helpful to me as well. It had taught me the difference between tragedy, comedy, dramatic irony, soliloquy and aside. Watching the film version of Much Ado about Nothing, helped me understand the book better. The powerpoint presentation also helped me a lot. I was able to understand the setting of the book. Another way the presentation helped me was by telling me about the characters. After watching the movie, it was a bit unclear to me. Finally, Dr.X's lectures about contexts and characters, alliances and happy endings made the book very understandable.
Thanks to my favorite professor, Dr. Ximena Gallardo, everything was so easy and helpful. I salute you from the bottom of my heart.

When Claudio realizes that Hero is innocent, he and his fellow soldiers go to her tomb to express their great sorrow and guilt. He going to re-honor her innocence by saying, "So the life that died with shame lives in death with glorious fame"(5.3.5). Claudio imagines Hero as a heroic "Knight" of the " Goddess of the Knight" who was killed not by swords, but by slanderous tongues." Since Claudio is an excellent young fighter, he imagines Hero as a "Knight" (fighter) who was killed by him. This cruel action against the "Knight" makes him remorse and penitence. Claudio's tribute to Hero's chastity and his vow to commemorate the anniversary of her death convince that he is truly sorry and I think it was not a show off. His public admission of Hero's innocence plus one night's vigil at her tomb is sufficient punishment for him. Even though he is a count he does all the things only because he loves Hero genuinely. Claudios acceptance to marry Leonato's niece, lightened his guilt and also Leobato's niece looks exactly like Hero. So, he decided to marry Leonatos niece. In my opinion, Claudio made the right choice.
