The Next Part

The assignment for today may have two different ways of being answered: one of them is saying how the rest of the Devine Comedy would be, basing ourselves with the Inferno. The other way is writing of how we think the way back out, or even the rest of the Inferno would be. I will choose the first option.

I think that next Dante would begin a transition in his life. He would learn from what he saw in the Inferno to generate progress from his experiences. “O reader, do not ask of me how I grew faint and frozen then – I cannot write it: all words would fall far short of what it was.”(Inferno, Canto XXXVI, 22) Here we can see how he did have many experiences. So many he asks us, the reader, not to ask ourselves what he did. He is showing us how he doesn’t know why he turned into a person with no hope, “faint and frozen”. I think that in the continuing parts of the Devine Comedy Dante will leave that behind, use it as a chance to learn, gain experience. he will probably change his way of life, knowing what awaits him after life. Having in the back of his mind that if he sins there will be grave punishment.

A Perfect World

In the world that I was born in,
men roamed all, and peace went
above all, and they made no sin.

People co existed and no rules were bent,
respect was a principle for all men,
so no money was wrongly spent.

Honesty was enforced always when
needed, and jealousy was not allowed,
that’s how a perfect world was then.

All of those rules were forcefully followed,
and even though they weren’t the best,
all bad feelings had to be swallowed.

Poetic Justice

This episode could be describes as poetic justice. This would be true because these two beings have been lonely and in war with each other for many years. So they both in a way hate each other but at the same time need each other. For them to end up together is poetic justice because from being lonely and in war, now they are together, with company, and in peace with each other. Its a drastic change but it was predictable, and at the end it happened.

Chatting Correctly!

Derrick says: Wow that is so cool!
Joshua says: Well I am a little tired of writting about random topics int it.
Derrick says: Then create a new blog about a more intresting topic.

Joshua says: Hello, are you still there?
Derrick says: Yeah, I was just thinking of a cool topic like literature.
Joshua says: Thats it man, see you tomorrow.
Derrick says: Ok.

Blogs

This excerpt tells me a lot about blogs, of how they have evolved to become a great part of our world today. “Today there are, by one count, more than 100 million blogs in the world, with about 15 million of them active.” (Sarah Boxer from New York Review of Books) I can see now why lots of newspapers have begun to use blogs as part of their network, because many people prefer looking at these blogs than buying a news paper. There are so many blogs that, as said in the article, “There are political blogs, confessional blogs, gossip blogs, sex blogs, mommy blogs, science blogs, soldier blogs, gadget blogs, fiction blogs, video blogs, photo blogs, and cartoon blogs, to name a few.” (Sarah Boxer from New York Review of Books). In my opinion blogs are becoming very effective thanks to the progress of our technology. Maybe in the future blogs will dominate all news sources in the world.
