blog 12 "the final blog" :_(

My experience most of the time was easy with blogger. I did feel frustrated at times with blogger because sometimes my blogs wouldn’t post when I would press post and if I refreshed I would have to write the blog all over again, this happened once or twice so for the other I would type them up on Microsoft word and copy and paste to blogger so if the little incident would happen I had it backed up. I found it interesting working with Blogger because it was a new thing which I found rather fun and it made the class more interesting because you could speak your mind and not have to try to write like if you were writing a essay, it was my opinion and if you didn’t like it then you could either leave a comment or just move on. I liked how my classmates could interact through blogger and see if someone else had the same opinion as themselves.
Writing the entries were sometimes fun depending on the blog, like I loved when we would watch a video and then have to pick our favorite video, my least favorite blogs were one that were either one choice or the choices given were all boring wise. I liked entry question that I could use my imagination a lot. Writing at least 250 words wasn’t as hard as I thought sometimes I would have to stop and check how many words I had because my first blog if you were to look at it was huge because I couldn’t stop writing.
It was easy meeting the deadline for the entries because we were given a week to read the chapters and write about it but the part that was a pain was if we couldn’t go to the Thursday class we would lose points, I wished that I could still get the 10 points even if I couldn’t be in class by commenting them from my own computer. I do think it is fair to have a deadline on the blogs because it gives us a reason to do them when they are due then not have a deadline because most people would just leave all the blog for the end and they would forget what the play was about and they would write a poor blog.
My experience with other classmates blog were a good experience because I learn a few opinion and it gave me other people views on different blogs. I did learn something special doing the blogs then not having any blogs. I like this concept of blogs. I thought the comment weren’t that useful to me I guess because I would read them and then forget about it.
Blogging is so much better then writing an answer for a bunch of questions. I also prefer blogging then writing, because I can speak my mind without being wrong. I think I would keep blogging on my own, I used to blog when I was in high school on a site called xanga.

blog 11

In video one, the actress Jane Lapotaire shows an of expression of insanity because she comes in looking scared but has this very crazy look that you would expect a psychotic person would have which in very little time her expression would go from smiling to sad to scared to happy and the expression would continue for a bit and she begins to show some expression of panic trying to rub her hands very roughly trying to clean them well and then she changes her expression to a look of bein afraid or scared that they can be caught or just haunted by the fact of what happened and what was done and she goes in a expression of guilt which then makes her try to wash her hands to get man’s blood off of her because she thinks her hands are covered in them, and then she expresses fear that the blood will always haunt her and that her and Macbeth will be caught or someone will find out of their crime that was committed and she also seemed anguish smelling her hands with such obsession that at a point she looked crazy doing it.

In video two, the actress Dame Judi Dench was showing desperation of washing her hands and at the same time crying because she couldn’t get a spot out of blood off her hands, she also began to perform resignation that the blood scent never leaving her hands, and then she begins to scream weirdly which is I feel is also grief that she is feeling because she doesn’t want to feel guilt because of the murder and now she is always thinking about it. I also felt that she also had desperation in her look because she was trying looking innocent to others and having no one point fingers at her or her husband.

In video three, the singer/actress Shirley Verrett is singing on the steps opera style and she is singing with a look of depression while looking at her hands because she looks to feel guilty of what has been done and also regret because it was done and now it is killing her and then had fear in her expression while walking down the stairs and looking at her hands and trying to rub them roughly and then she begins to get angry but then changes quickly into a weariness expression going back to her room and then confusion to go up the stairs because she seems to be confused for about a minute to go up the stairs or stay where she is, and she looks very anxious also.

I feel that video one works best for me because she shows so much expression and expression that I would think a person would have after her husband has killed or ordered to kill so many people. A person would be afraid that the time will come of getting caught and she is reliving the day that Duncan was killed and even if she is sleep walking she is expressing all the feelings that she has inside out to the world because it is haunting her inside. It works best for me because she is smelling her hands and have this look upon her face like she smells so badly even if there isn’t anything there and also how she keeps moving around nervously expressing her feelings.
