GOD/GODESS WISH<3

If I could be a god, I want to be Athena and Eros. Athena is a god of intelligece, war, wisdom, and justic. Also, Athena is beautiful. So I want to be like Athena with intelligence and beauty. Eros is a little God who controls people's minds of love. I would like to control people's feelings of love. It will be really fun and enjoyable to control who will love who and who will hate who. Also, I would get all naughty controling feeling of love. Also, I would like to have his wings. I think flying is really useful and awesome. It is raely possible for humans to have wings like birds and fly. If we could, there would be no cars that take up all my time traveling to places to places because of the stupid traffic jams. So much time will be saved and there would be no air pollution. To conclude, I guess my physica feature would be like goddess Athena full of beauty with carrying Eros' arrows and wings although that will be a wierd combination =P

GREEK MONSTERS<3

MEDUSA

Medusa is one of the most famous and well-known moster in mythology. Medusa is a Gorgon monster. She had a snake hair with wings. Because of her ugly feature, she turned everyone into stones. She lived in a far North where nobody really knew the exact location. However, Medusa was not a horrible looking monster. She was once a beatiful woman. Medusa and her two sisters were Gorgons and was born to Gaia and Okeanos. The two sisters were born into Gorgons but Medusa was a beautiful woman unlike her sisters. Medusa copulated with Poseidon the god of ocean in the temple of Athena. And she had also insulted Athena that she was more beautiful than her. So Athena got displeased and then cursed Medusa into a ugly monster. She was killed by Perseus. Perseus was ordered by a king because of the king's tempt to destroy Perseus. Perseus the son of Zeus was given weapons such as Hermes' winged sandal, Hades' invisible helmet, Ares' sword that could cut anything, Hera's magic bag that could be put any sizes, and Athena's shield that could reflect Medusa's head without actually seeing her.

Well, anyways Medusa was a monster who destoryed so many people by turning into stones. She was referred as fear from everyone.

MYTHOLOGY GREEK GOD OR GODDESS<3

HERMES / MERCURY

Hermes is had many roles as a god. He is a god of shepherds, cowherds, theives, road travellers, liars, orators/wit, literature/poets, athletics, weights/measures, inventions, commerce and many other roles. He was mainly like a secretry of Zeus. He is the messanger from the gods to humans. And also he lead dead people to the underworld. He plays his roles very successfully so he is liked by many other gods. He was really clever, wise, and precocious. He wears a winged cap with winged sandals (talaria) and carries his Near Eastern herald's staff a symbol of eloquence given from Apollo as a gift. He wore the garments of a travelor, worker or shepherd.

He was born from Zeus and Maia. Maia secretely gave birth in Mount Cyllene in Arcadia. She gave birth in a cave so she could avoid Hera's punishment. Hermes is a full god because his father is Zeus the greatest Olympian God and his mother a nymphus is a daughter of Atlas. Therefore Hermes is obviousy a God.

He was very naughty and clever in his young age. On the first day of his birth, he stole his brother Apollo's 50 cows. And he also made an instrument lyre.

Hermes and Hercules have some similarities and also differences. They are similar because they are both son of Zeus born to different mothers. Another, they are referred as both gods. However, Hermes is a true immortal god, Hercules is a mortal god. Although he doesn't fight like Hercules, he is referred as hero to many people. He is the savior/god of theives, liars, cowerds, and many people while Hercules is hero to everyone because he fights against monsters and saves powerless people.

ENTRY OF MY CHOICE<3

Finally, this is my last entry of the blog and I have saved the 'entry of your choice' option for the latest. :)

I would like to talk about my feelings toward this book. I chose this book because of its fame. I heard that it had won many awards and it has even made into a film movie. Of its fame and popularity, I picked this book and checked out in the library not even reading the summary written on the last page, only trusting its notability.
As I read through this book, I didn't exactly regret that I picked this book, but I wished that it would be more interesting to read. Ray Bradbury used way too much confusing words, metaphors, and sentence structures. Also, there were many science-fictional objects, characters, and settings that were almost impossible for me to imagine in my head.
Also, because it was very difficult to understand fully, it was hard for me to totally concentrate into the book. It made me almost fall into sleep everytime I read the book. I think I fell asleep more than I read the actual book. :P It was like hypnotic (those pills that make you go to sleep).
However, I liked this book because I learned the most important lesson. Importance of reaing books!! Also, this book was interesting for me because it was a whole new subject of book that I have even thought about or read about. It was a good book and I would recommend it to everyone to read this<3

SETTINGS<3

The most meaningful setting that I thought was the last part of the book. This setting was my most meaningful one because this part was the only peaceful happening in the entire book. Despite everything dark and evil, Montag ended and he went to the peaceful village where many people memorized and recited at least one book in their head. Although it was very hard to exactly imagine the setting of the last part, everyone could notice the peace and happiness of the village. The village was full of the book lovers which meant cheer.
Because this book was a science-fiction novel, it was very hard to assume and convieve the settings of this book in my head; especially imagining about the Hound or the weapons that firemen uses.

MOOD<3

As everyone can percieve the mood of this book by reading just at least two pages of this book, it is eerie, constant, depressing and melacholy.
There isn't much turning points in this book. The story is pretty constant. The mood of this book doesn't really vary. The voice and the tone of this book is steady and stable which affects and contributes the mood of this book.
Bradbury used way too much difficult word choices, confusing and ambiguous metaphors that made the book very constant, and difficult to know the meanings of the book. As a result, the book was boring to read without any excitement going on.
There were some turning points such as when Captain Beatty and his firemen were planning to put a bomb into the city to destroy it; Montag kills Captain Beatty; Montag runs away from the Hound; and others. However, without these big turning points in the book, it had rarely any turning and interesting points and was very stable and tedious.
But it was a good and recommending book to read because I could learn an important lesson.
