For one assignment of homework, we have to read the Oedipus section of Mythology. Would you like us to take notes or to just make sure to understand it?
Megan, I think we just had to read Oedipus but maybe it would be helpful to jot notes down in the book.
Annette, I know you had posted this on the other blog and Miss Arney said not to do the sheet but I do not think you would have to diagram that part. you only had to diagram the subject, verb, direct and indirect object. But it is not do tomorrow so just in case you were curious.
Miss Arney, In class Miss Iorio showed us the page in the sentence diagramming packet that explains how to diagram indirect objects. Therefore, I already did it. Should I wait to submit it?
Tracey: hold onto your assignment...then check it before you turn it in (AFTER I explain indirect objects to you guys) You may want to take notes - not a bad idea since that back story will be part of the unit exam -- and, yes, read the part with the sphynx too. You need to read up to the part when the plague hits Thebes
Tracey (and everyone else): The play OEDIPUS highlights dramatic irony. Knowing the backstory (after reading Hamilton), is there anything YOU as the audience know that the others on stage appear to be clueless about?
Should we still copy the questions for Oedipus onto looseleaf because it says it in the directions in the booklet but we already have the questions in the book?
Miss Arney, I think I understand it now. The audience has the advantage of knowing the outcome and the effects of Oedipus' decisions, while everyone else does not.
Ok thank you Miss Arney. Should we also copy the question onto looseleaf with our responses or just the response? And should our family tree be from Cadmus to Oedipus or just Cadmus's children?
I have a question regarding Oedipus...I don't understand the Chorus' mood in Parados (Ode of Entry). Does anyone understand the "mood changes" of the chorus?
Shawna, I think the chorus is becoming more angry at the killer of Laius and about the plauge. I also have a question about the Ode of Entry. I cannot find 3 gods/goddesses in Strophe 1 but I found 3 gods/goddesses in Antistrophe 1. Can any one find the gods/goddesses in Strophe 1?
Also when it says what are the three dieties in the first stroph (for question 3) does anyone know if that includes the antistrophe? Because I can't find three in just Strophe I
That does really help, thank you Teresa and Emily!
I could not find the 3 gods/goddesses in Strophe I either, so I looked in Antistrophe I and I found them. I got Athena, Artemis, and Phoebus (Apollo) as the three.
I have a question about number 6 in the Oedipus Study Guide. Does anyone know why it is important who the Chorus is revering in Antistrophe III? I'm not sure where to find the answer to that.
It also mentions they pray to Athena, Artemis, and Apollo or Pheobus because they are the first to respond and help in a time of need. They would help get rid of the disaster and destruction.It is in the second "section" of Antistrophe I which looks like a second paragraph kind of if you want to find it.
Shawna, sorry if I was confusing I was referiing to the three gods for Strophe I. Erika I think was talking about the question 6 on Strophe III I think we are supposed to use bacchus because it had already mentioned Apollo previously and said who was introduced
3 days and there are already 33 comments. I think we will have multiple RM threads this quarter.
READ the words and italics in the odes carefully. ALL of the answers are there. Yes, it annoys me that Roche (the translater) jumps between Gr and Roman names. It should be Dionysus. LOOK at the NOTES in the front of your study guide that you were supposed to read to understand the role Dionysus / Bacchus plays. And, yes, he is a fertility god (like Demeter); they are both earth gods. As for the three gods they pray to in the beginning: it's literally the Triple A club. WHY these gods? Remember, many have multiple spheres of control and THERE IS A PLAGUE!!! Did everyone get their grade sheet signed?
When we cite lines in the play should we count the lines from the beginning of the section so the Ode of Entry or from the beginning of the book since the lines are not numbered?
Most of this is in the notes section of your sg...but the Chorus would move in two directions: to the left and right. those directions indicated a change in mood and were the strophe and antistrophe. Weird, right? The chorus in Grease moved a lot better I think. Thanks, Marissa!
Danielle: I'm sorry. When I say "cite lines" I mean quote the exact words. You don't need line numbers here b/c there aren't any in this edition of the play.
Would another reason for Dionysus be either he was represented by death and birth or regrowth? Or could Sophocles included him because he was the god drama and the theater and wanted to somehow incorporate him?
Dionysus's mother was also Semele who was one of Cadmus's daughter. Cadmus was the founder of Thebes so was Dionysus technically from Thebes because one of the lines says, "And you oh Theban Bacchus".
Kelly, Miss Arney said above how Strophe and Antistrophe are both the chorus from two different point of views. If you want her blogging might help explain it better.
Out of curiousity, how long are the Oedipus questions supposed to take? It took me about three and a half hours to complete them, and I cannot picture having to do this every night on top of other work. By the way, I hope you are feeling better, Miss Arney!
Jeremy (and anyone else who is taking 3 1/2 hours to complete these): as insane as I am (no need to comment here, guys), I do NOT expect you to spend any more than 1 hour on standard homework for an evening. That of course eliminates writing on Facebook while doing your work. If you are finding it takes too long, LET ME KNOW THEN and I will modify the assignment. However, I know some of you tend to be VERY detailed and high performing with your work, so I guess I should have anticipated it. It's hard doing this via remote. I hate it. I'm sooo sorry it took so long. I'll speak with Ms. Iorio to adjust the sg questions in the future. Thank you for your honesty, Jeremy. and thank you for your kind words.
BTW: yes, I round up when I enter your quarterly averages. If you have a 92.45, you will get a 93. Unfortunately, the grading system does not let me give you higher than 100. So, for those of you with grades to match my current temperature, you will only be getting 100 on the report card. You have, however, earned MAJOR bragging rights. I miss you all so much it actually hurts.
Jeremy, I don't know how long it took me but I know I have about two pages front and back and another page with answers. It helps though if you are thorough for studying purposes, so I think it is better if you spent three hours in a way to know you have all the facts It took me probably the same amount of time maybe a little more or less. And I am sorry about your temperature Miss Arney!It helps though to stay home I guess with the insanity of discussing killing fathers and marrying mothers!
Danielle: you are so absolutely correct about doing it correctly and thoroughly now...but I realize you have other teachers who think that their homework is important too ;-) I will grant you guys an amnesty period to finish up the questions before the test / I collect them, but it will be harder to do, going back and rereading. Also, this helps you realize what you need help with from us...well, only Miss Iorio at the moment (thank you, Miss Iorio!!!!). I will be back on Monday....if I stayed home 3 weeks ago and wasn't at school for 16 hours a day, I could have beaten this then; now I have no choice but to listen to my doctor. but, it has made me appreciate you guys more. I cannot wait to see you all again :-)
Lauren, I'm not sure if I have the right worksheet...My worksheet says it's a "Review of Transitive and Intransitive Verb Sentences". Is this the one you have? Usually we do have to do our grammar assignments on looseleaf, so I hope this helps.
Shawna, today we got two work sheets, one said Thursdays homework on top and the other didnt. Ms. Iorio said that the one with nothing written about homework was to be completed for the weekend homework.
Ok, yes i do have the sheet that says review of transitive and intransitive verb sentences. I also recieved a sheet that stated: identify if the following sentences are transitive or intransitive, that is supposed to be done for homework tonight.
megan, i don't understand what your question which question is that from? and also for question 7 it asks who tries to intervene(between Oedipus and Creon's arguement) and i am confused as to whether it is the chorus or Jocasta.
Teresa, I believe that Jocasta is the one who intervenes, as the Chorus are like commentators of the events. Jocasta is directly related to the situation at hand and I believe her intervening is more significant than the Chorus'. I hope this helps!
I believe it was Jocasta because she told them to stop fighting because she loved them both. My question had nothing to do with the questions we had to answer, but a question about the book. Why does Creon leave Thebes?
PERIOD 4: Ms. Iorio asked me to stress to you that you only should do the questions pertaining to Choral Ode and Episode 2. I'm glad you got further in the reading, but don't worry about answering ALL of the questions.
TO both classes re: grammar: The transitive verb page is tonight's homework. I left lines so that you may do it directly on the page, rather than on looseleaf. The 15 diagrams for weekend homework must be done on looseleaf.
Annette for tomorrow i am pretty sure that its just the questions for the second choral ode and second episode, but im not 100% sure. It would be best to double check it with someone else.
Annette we are supposed to onnly answer tne questions on Second Choral Ode and Second Episode that is the reading up to page 36. It is only 10 questions. I hope that helps!
I also have a question in the Second Choral Ode, on question 2 when it asks how the chorus reacts in Tiresias' words are we supposed to look for that answer in the passage before?
For question three of the Second Choral Ode, when it says is it valid regarding the time and place, is the time and place supposed to refer to ancient Greece or the time and place of Oedipus killing Laius?
The thing I was confused about was at that point the characters did not know yet about when and where Oedipus killed Tiresias. That is discovered when Oedipus talks to Jocasta. So maybe it refers to Ancient Greece and the beliefs now that I think anout it.
Maybe the setting of Greece and how it was back then influenced their beliefs of prophecy and the gods communicating to prophets like Tireseas or Delphi from Apollo.
Danielle: given the context I'm reading these question, I think you are correct. I don't have my study guide home, so I don't know the exact question to which everyone is referring. The underlying thematic concept is about fate. The time & place setting would be ancient Greece, so how would people back then feel about Oedipus, their king, telling a PROPHET that he is a liar? What would be the term for a king thinking he knows more than a spokesman for the gods? Anyone?..... Let's play hangman: _ _ _ _ _ _
He is showing disrespect for the gods, by implying that the prophecy is false. Therefore, he is acting as if he is better than the gods, as we saw in Mythology, is not a good thing to do!
Yeah, I agree with what everybody has said with how he is trying to say that the propphecy isn't ture. Also sorry Emily I didn't see your question before.
Thank you Miss Arney and Emily and Tracey and Lauren and anyone else who helped answer the question! And Miss Arney I agree with you about Oedipus. I also thought Odysseus was a blockhead too and Achilles was a baby. All the so called "heroes" I don't think portray being super!
I am confused about the part where Creon is proving his innocence. Is he trying to prove himself innocent to Oedipus and the town. Or is he trying to show the people that he is logical while Oedipus is a stubborn maniac accusing him with no evidence.
I think he is trying to show both. He wants to show Oedipus and prove him wrong that Oedipus thinks he wants to take the throne. He does this by saying he wouldnt want the throne because then he would have responsibility and power instead of no responsibility now. So he is trying to tell Oedipus and prove to everyone else he is not selfish and is just.
For question 2 of The Third Choral Ode, I can't figure out who the Theban elders say will never be abandoned by the gods in time of need. I only found that they said they would never abandon the gods
Lauren: do you mean for homework? Yes - there were 15 questions you needed to diagram - the last few are about Twilight....does this make sense? and was that your question?
Miss Arney I am a little confused on the reading. In page 57 of the book it says that Oedipus was given over to the messenger/shepard. But when I was searching on the internet for the meaning of Oedipus, a website said that Oedipus was found by the messenger/shepard. Which one is it, or is it interpretated differntly.
"Not found by me, but handed over by another shepard"
Miss Arney, I do not understand how the servant has played a role in Oedipus' life on various occasions. By the way, I find it interesting that it takes Jocasta about a minute after she realizes that Oedipus is her son to begin nagging him.
Jocasta: Though I'm pleading for what's best for you. Oedipus: [Aw, mom!] What's best for me? I'm tired of hearing that.
Jeremy, the servant took Oedipus from a shepherd. He saved Oedipus' life, romoved the pin that held his feet together, and named him after his swollen feet. Then that servent brought Oedipus to Polybus as a gift. Now that sevant is telling Oedipus about Polybus' death, informing him that Polybus was not his actual father, and helping him discover his origin.
Yes, I love that she figured it out before he did.
The "shepherd" with the info now is the same person who took baby Oedipus to the mountain to spare his life, giving him to the messenger of Corinth. At THAT time, the messenger of Corinth was a shepherd and the "Shepherd" was a messenger of Laius. Confusing, no? P.L.E.A.S.E let me explain this on Monday - it will make MUCH more sense then.
Lauren and Marissa, This may be wrong, but I said that Oedipus was scared he would be from an unfortunate family, such as one of a slave. I'm not sure if that is correct but hope that helps!
I also thought that maybe Oedipus was scared that Laius was his father and then his father would have really died at the hands of his son, as the prophecy had said. I also think it can be what Tracey said.
Nope; he still has no clue. He even thinks Jocasta is being an elitist, worried that he is born of slaves rather than a king and queen. He will literally have to be hit with a brick before he puts this together.
For the Oedipus project, if we did a yearbook should it be like the Mythology yearbook or should we only do the goals and pictures and superlatives for our one character? If we use should use multiple characters would it be okay to repeat them?
Danielle, i think it should only be for one character because for the facebook page we only have to do one character. So it would make sense to do a yearbook page for only one character.
This might be an obvious question but for the Oedipus Facebook page, it is to be printed, correct? What I mean is that does it have to be a literal page on Facebook or just an imitation?
Shawna, you could make it either a literal printed facebook page or you could create your own page just like the layout of a facebook page. Miss Arney posted examples in the classroom today so that might help give you an idea of what it should look like!
Lauren, I believe that you are right - the light and dark are symbols of truth. I believe that they also represent Oedipus' willingness to turn a blind eye to the truth, like he did many times earlier in the play. I am not completely sure that is correct, but I hope it helps!
Just from looking at the agenda... assuming you are all caught up on Oedipus study guide questions and reading, all you have to complete is the Epilogue, right?
Missy, I think that is correct. That is all it says on the agenda and I don't think we would have to start the next section. And also there are no study guide questions for the next section
For tonight's grammar homework, for exercise 11, do we have to complete it even thought we were never shown predicate nominatives and predicate adjectives in class? i understand that it is explained on the page before but just today Ms.Arney told us to assume that if we have not done somethong in class yet then we are not doing the right homwork? Does anyone know if she mentioned anything about it?
Tonight I am doing both the Fifth Choral Ode and the Epilogue to get ahead...
The Fifth Choral Ode is one page long, and next comes the Epilogue which is about 2-3 pages long in our books. After the Epilogue comes "Choral Dialogue". Are we supposed to read the Choral Dialogue along with the Epilogue? Or just the Epilogue alone?
Since it is not on the agenda and it comes after what is on the agenda I don't think we have to read it because, for all the other assignments she told us if we had to read it so I think she would have told us if we were supposed to but I am not positive
You will need to finish the rest of the play over the weekend - that includes the final few pages of the Choral Dialogue. I need to add the questions online from that portion of the reading - I don't know why they aren't in your study guide (grrrr!) It's only a few pages and you get to laugh at his misery, so no worries.
For the yearbook page journal do do I have to describe the clubs, activities,or high school classes like in the yearbook project? Also for the favorites should they be real or made up?
Well, he just found out what happened to him as a baby...what do you think he planned to do when he ran into the palace?
Annette: you realize you are not doing BOTH pages: either facebook or yearbook... and, for yearbook you would make an elaborate senior page with courses, college choice, quote, clubs, etc.
Thanks, Miss Arney! Lauren I was not completely sure about that question either, but Oedipus did ask for a weapon so I though he was going to hurt or even kill her.
A bit, Jeremy, but probably more human than ironic. Oedipus isn't an evil man - that's what makes him a tragic hero. He's impulsive - which is why he responded in a violent rage but then sees his wife (yes, gross, but he did love her) hanging and reacts accordingly. Do you agree...or no?
For diagramming in exercise 11, do we have to draw the arrow after the linking verb? Or can we just use a diagonal line for both the predicate nominative and predicate adjective?
Tracy, I think you only have to draw a diagnol line. The arrow part Miss Arney said I think was for if it helped you to remember where the line pointed to.
Missy, I am also not sure of when the Oedipus test is but I thought the vocab tests were usually on Tuesdays but I could be wrong.
Miss Arney, According to the list of terms that can be defined in the front of the book, are we going to go over it in class because I could not find defitions for all of them in the study guide?
Erika, yes I believe it is ok if you go to the link about the journal Miss Arney says that you can have characters that are indirectly in the novel post comments on peoples walls, so I am assuming you can also make Apollo, I could be wrong though so it's probably best you get a direct answer from Miss. Arney
Miss Arney and everyone, I have a couple of questions...
1. Are we allowed to all just write our Facebook names on this blog, and then we will have a wide variety of people to talk with on walls and comments and everything?
2. If we are not allowed to do that, or we just choose to do this with a small group of people each with their own account, would we be graded as a group or by your individual work?
In the past you have mentioned that you have a Facebook account, so for grading purposes would it be easier for us to print out our profiles and hand them all in or to just friend you with these profiles?
If I am doing a yearbook page, should there be an estimated amount or minimum number of superlatives, classes, etc. or should we just do as many as we need or want?
Miss Arney, For tomorrow's Oedipus Lingo game afterschool, if we are not able to participate because of the limited supply of boards, are we allowed to still come and take notes?
Re: the Lingo game - I might just let you guys pair up so 2 people can play on one board. that will allow one person to take notes for the other to copy later if necessary and eliminate the potential bloodshed outside of my classroom. The school really frowns on biohazardous material on the 3rd floor. darn. ;-)
For the Oedipus yearbook page, if we do superlatives should we do the superlatives for just our character or do we have to do two people for one superlative like the mythology yearbook?
I have been trying forever to make a real Facebook and the company is denying me over and over. They say they will not approve of the name Tiresais. Any suggestions?
For the facebook should are we supposed to print it to submit or friend Miss Arney. Also, for the project is it alright if you have two Tiresias's or two Jocasta's comment on your wall? Are we allowed to have multiple people (2 creons) as friends?
Tori, I believe you are correct but I would have a printed copy just in case - Miss Arney said today in class that she would prefer a print out.
Also...Miss Arney, I have a question regarding To Kill A Mockingbird - would you like us to take notes on chapters 1-7 or just make sure that we know what happened?
Are the four themes of a drama or tragedy hubris, man and gods, destiny and fate, and freedom and responsibility or are they punishment, exile, death, and vengeance? I know the second four were in the packet and said they were normally in a tragedy but I was not sure if they are themes.
For the yearbook/facebook project when you say include shout outs from friends and family can we do other characters writing a little blurb about the character that the yearbook page is for? Or should we do our character writng blurbs about other characters in the book?
Miss Arney, I have a big problem regarding my facebook!
When I made my profile, it would not accept the name Oedipus, so I made it Oedpius (switched the "i" and the "p") thinking that once I made it, I would go to the settings and change it back to the correct spelling. However, when I went to do that, they rejected my request and said "The Facebook Team has rejected your name request." I tried several times, and each time it did not work.
I don't know what to do, being that my name is spelled wrong and I can't change it. I am also pretty much done so I don't think I can make a new account at this point.
Victoria, I think you can have other people write comments about you but it would be something else than shoutouts. It is kind of like something in the mythology yearbook.
Missy, I think it is ok you spelt it wrong but I am not positive. Miss Arney knew that you can not spell Oedipus correctly on facebook. If worst comes to worst maybe you could white out the p and the i. Sorry I wish I could help more!
Marissa - yes, there are too many oedipuses out there! You can slightly change his name (or make it something like King Oedipus; Rexy Oedipus; etc) That's why it is better to print it out - that way, if you have to misspell it, you can white out the misspelling and write it in.
The shout outs can be either- normally it's the person saying something to other people
When we print it out should we just print the one page with our wall and the comments or do we also print out the Info, Photos, and Other Applications as well?
I am confused on what the thymele is...according to the definition in the purple book it states that it is an alter that serves as a stage prop but on the picture in the purple book and the crossword puzzle it says that the thymele is a processional to honor Dionysus. So basicaly is the thymele an alter or a ceremony?
Greetings, Scholars of the Class of 2013. I look forward to reading and responding to your posts on this site. Please note that the "gadgets" on the right-side column of the blog home page are not ads. These are games and resources to help you in class. Sharpen your grammar skills, learn a new SAT vocabulary word, or research some characters in mythology!
For one assignment of homework, we have to read the Oedipus section of Mythology. Would you like us to take notes or to just make sure to understand it?
ReplyDeleteMegan, I think we just had to read Oedipus but maybe it would be helpful to jot notes down in the book.
ReplyDeleteAnnette, I know you had posted this on the other blog and Miss Arney said not to do the sheet but I do not think you would have to diagram that part. you only had to diagram the subject, verb, direct and indirect object. But it is not do tomorrow so just in case you were curious.
Miss Arney,
ReplyDeleteIn class Miss Iorio showed us the page in the sentence diagramming packet that explains how to diagram indirect objects. Therefore, I already did it. Should I wait to submit it?
Miss Arney,
ReplyDeleteWould you like us to read both "Oedipus" and "Oedipus and the Sphinx" or just Oedipus?
Tracey: hold onto your assignment...then check it before you turn it in (AFTER I explain indirect objects to you guys)
ReplyDeleteYou may want to take notes - not a bad idea since that back story will be part of the unit exam -- and, yes, read the part with the sphynx too. You need to read up to the part when the plague hits Thebes
Okay, I will do that - thank you!
ReplyDeleteHey, guys....a reading schedule has been posted on the link for the weekly agenda. I hope this helps.
ReplyDeleteI MISS YOU ALL!
I am having trouble identifying the irony in the Prologue that is in question 6 of the study guide. Can anyone point it out?
ReplyDeleteTracey (and everyone else):
ReplyDeleteThe play OEDIPUS highlights dramatic irony. Knowing the backstory (after reading Hamilton), is there anything YOU as the audience know that the others on stage appear to be clueless about?
...does this help?
...I HATE NOT BEING THERE!
Should we still copy the questions for Oedipus onto looseleaf because it says it in the directions in the booklet but we already have the questions in the book?
ReplyDeleteMiss Arney, I think I understand it now. The audience has the advantage of knowing the outcome and the effects of Oedipus' decisions, while everyone else does not.
ReplyDeleteThank you and feel better!
There isn't enough room to fully answer the questions in the study guide; you will need looseleaf.
ReplyDeleteOk thank you Miss Arney. Should we also copy the question onto looseleaf with our responses or just the response? And should our family tree be from Cadmus to Oedipus or just Cadmus's children?
ReplyDeleteFeel better, Miss Arney!
ReplyDeleteMiss Arney, I hope you feel better!!! :(
ReplyDeleteMs. Arney, feel better!
ReplyDeleteJeremy, Erin, Lauren: Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI miss all of you so much!
Everyone: PLEASE check the website for a note explaining the crazy codes on the print out. It is for both you and your parents.
I have a question regarding Oedipus...I don't understand the Chorus' mood in Parados (Ode of Entry). Does anyone understand the "mood changes" of the chorus?
ReplyDeleteShawna,
ReplyDeleteIn the italics at the beginning of the Ode of Entry, it tells you the mood of the chorus and how it changes. I hope that helps
Shawna, I think the chorus is becoming more angry at the killer of Laius and about the plauge. I also have a question about the Ode of Entry. I cannot find 3 gods/goddesses in Strophe 1 but I found 3 gods/goddesses in Antistrophe 1. Can any one find the gods/goddesses in Strophe 1?
ReplyDeleteAlso when it says what are the three dieties in the first stroph (for question 3) does anyone know if that includes the antistrophe? Because I can't find three in just Strophe I
ReplyDeleteThat does really help, thank you Teresa and Emily!
ReplyDeleteI could not find the 3 gods/goddesses in Strophe I either, so I looked in Antistrophe I and I found them. I got Athena, Artemis, and Phoebus (Apollo) as the three.
Miss Arney I hope you feel better! We miss you too!
ReplyDeleteI have a question about number 6 in the Oedipus Study Guide. Does anyone know why it is important who the Chorus is revering in Antistrophe III? I'm not sure where to find the answer to that.
ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure that the three gods in Strophe 1 are Apollo Athena and Artemis.
ReplyDeleteI also thought it mentioned all of the three names in the song.
ReplyDeleteShawna in Antistrophe III it talks about Apollo and his arrows and then also talks about Bacchus.
ReplyDeleteI am wondering, which one do we use?
Apollo is an important god they pray to because he is the god of victory and healing and they are in the middle of a plague and famine.
ReplyDeleteErika, I was wondering the same thing...I used Bacchus but Danielle, you have good reasoning behind revering Apollo.
ReplyDeleteIt also mentions they pray to Athena, Artemis, and Apollo or Pheobus because they are the first to respond and help in a time of need. They would help get rid of the disaster and destruction.It is in the second "section" of Antistrophe I which looks like a second paragraph kind of if you want to find it.
ReplyDeleteOkay, thank you Danielle!
ReplyDeleteShawna, sorry if I was confusing I was referiing to the three gods for Strophe I. Erika I think was talking about the question 6 on Strophe III I think we are supposed to use bacchus because it had already mentioned Apollo previously and said who was introduced
ReplyDeleteBacchus might be important for the growth of grapes after the famine even though Demeter is technically the goddess of the earth. Hope that helps!
ReplyDelete3 days and there are already 33 comments. I think we will have multiple RM threads this quarter.
ReplyDeleteREAD the words and italics in the odes carefully. ALL of the answers are there. Yes, it annoys me that Roche (the translater) jumps between Gr and Roman names. It should be Dionysus. LOOK at the NOTES in the front of your study guide that you were supposed to read to understand the role Dionysus / Bacchus plays. And, yes, he is a fertility god (like Demeter); they are both earth gods.
As for the three gods they pray to in the beginning: it's literally the Triple A club. WHY these gods? Remember, many have multiple spheres of control and THERE IS A PLAGUE!!!
Did everyone get their grade sheet signed?
When we cite lines in the play should we count the lines from the beginning of the section so the Ode of Entry or from the beginning of the book since the lines are not numbered?
ReplyDeleteI came on to ask these questions, but they're all already answered, so thanks!
ReplyDeleteMiss Arney I hope you're feeling better!
Also, what is the difference between a Strophe and an Antistrophe?
ReplyDeleteMost of this is in the notes section of your sg...but the Chorus would move in two directions: to the left and right. those directions indicated a change in mood and were the strophe and antistrophe.
ReplyDeleteWeird, right? The chorus in Grease moved a lot better I think.
Thanks, Marissa!
Danielle: I'm sorry. When I say "cite lines" I mean quote the exact words. You don't need line numbers here b/c there aren't any in this edition of the play.
Thank you Miss Arney! I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteWould another reason for Dionysus be either he was represented by death and birth or regrowth? Or could Sophocles included him because he was the god drama and the theater and wanted to somehow incorporate him?
ReplyDeleteWhile reading the section I am a little confused on how Strophe and Antistrophe auctually realte to everything can anyone clear that up for me?
ReplyDeleteDionysus's mother was also Semele who was one of Cadmus's daughter. Cadmus was the founder of Thebes so was Dionysus technically from Thebes because one of the lines says, "And you oh Theban Bacchus".
ReplyDeleteKelly, Miss Arney said above how Strophe and Antistrophe are both the chorus from two different point of views. If you want her blogging might help explain it better.
Okayy thank you so much I must of missed that so now I understand.
ReplyDeleteOut of curiousity, how long are the Oedipus questions supposed to take? It took me about three and a half hours to complete them, and I cannot picture having to do this every night on top of other work.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I hope you are feeling better, Miss Arney!
Jeremy (and anyone else who is taking 3 1/2 hours to complete these): as insane as I am (no need to comment here, guys), I do NOT expect you to spend any more than 1 hour on standard homework for an evening. That of course eliminates writing on Facebook while doing your work. If you are finding it takes too long, LET ME KNOW THEN and I will modify the assignment. However, I know some of you tend to be VERY detailed and high performing with your work, so I guess I should have anticipated it. It's hard doing this via remote. I hate it. I'm sooo sorry it took so long. I'll speak with Ms. Iorio to adjust the sg questions in the future. Thank you for your honesty, Jeremy. and thank you for your kind words.
ReplyDeleteBTW: yes, I round up when I enter your quarterly averages. If you have a 92.45, you will get a 93. Unfortunately, the grading system does not let me give you higher than 100. So, for those of you with grades to match my current temperature, you will only be getting 100 on the report card. You have, however, earned MAJOR bragging rights.
I miss you all so much it actually hurts.
Jeremy, I don't know how long it took me but I know I have about two pages front and back and another page with answers. It helps though if you are thorough for studying purposes, so I think it is better if you spent three hours in a way to know you have all the facts It took me probably the same amount of time maybe a little more or less.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am sorry about your temperature Miss Arney!It helps though to stay home I guess with the insanity of discussing killing fathers and marrying mothers!
Danielle: you are so absolutely correct about doing it correctly and thoroughly now...but I realize you have other teachers who think that their homework is important too ;-)
ReplyDeleteI will grant you guys an amnesty period to finish up the questions before the test / I collect them, but it will be harder to do, going back and rereading. Also, this helps you realize what you need help with from us...well, only Miss Iorio at the moment (thank you, Miss Iorio!!!!).
I will be back on Monday....if I stayed home 3 weeks ago and wasn't at school for 16 hours a day, I could have beaten this then; now I have no choice but to listen to my doctor.
but, it has made me appreciate you guys more. I cannot wait to see you all again :-)
For the grammar homework tonight, do we have to write that out on another sheet of looseleaf?
ReplyDeleteLauren,
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if I have the right worksheet...My worksheet says it's a "Review of Transitive and Intransitive Verb Sentences". Is this the one you have? Usually we do have to do our grammar assignments on looseleaf, so I hope this helps.
I would, since we usually have to use looseleaf for everygrammer assignment.
ReplyDeleteShawna, today we got two work sheets, one said Thursdays homework on top and the other didnt. Ms. Iorio said that the one with nothing written about homework was to be completed for the weekend homework.
ReplyDeleteokay, thanks Megan
ReplyDeleteOh, thanks for clearing that up Megan because I didn't receive "Thursday's Homework" in class.
ReplyDeleteoh sorry Shawna I didn't see your comment !
ReplyDeleteOk, yes i do have the sheet that says review of transitive and intransitive verb sentences. I also recieved a sheet that stated: identify if the following sentences are transitive or intransitive, that is supposed to be done for homework tonight.
ReplyDeleteThank you Megan and it's fine Lauren, don't worry about it!
ReplyDeleteYour welcome Shawna and Lauren! Also in the Second Episode of Oedipus, why does Creon leave?
ReplyDeletemegan, i don't understand what your question which question is that from? and also for question 7 it asks who tries to intervene(between Oedipus and Creon's arguement) and i am confused as to whether it is the chorus or Jocasta.
ReplyDeleteTeresa,
ReplyDeleteI believe that Jocasta is the one who intervenes, as the Chorus are like commentators of the events. Jocasta is directly related to the situation at hand and I believe her intervening is more significant than the Chorus'. I hope this helps!
I believe it was Jocasta because she told them to stop fighting because she loved them both. My question had nothing to do with the questions we had to answer, but a question about the book. Why does Creon leave Thebes?
ReplyDeletePERIOD 4: Ms. Iorio asked me to stress to you that you only should do the questions pertaining to Choral Ode and Episode 2. I'm glad you got further in the reading, but don't worry about answering ALL of the questions.
ReplyDeleteTO both classes re: grammar: The transitive verb page is tonight's homework. I left lines so that you may do it directly on the page, rather than on looseleaf.
The 15 diagrams for weekend homework must be done on looseleaf.
I can't wait to see you all again on Monday.
Thanks so much Miss. Arney that clears everything up, feel better and see you on Monday
ReplyDeleteAny rule about reading ahead and handing in questions early?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Shawna and Megan. that really does help
ReplyDeleteI am a little confused. Which questions in the Oedipus study guide are we supposed to answer for tomorrow?
ReplyDeleteMiss Arney,
ReplyDeleteI accidentally did the questions up until the Third Choral Ode - can I hand them in early tomorrow for extra credit?
Annette for tomorrow i am pretty sure that its just the questions for the second choral ode and second episode, but im not 100% sure. It would be best to double check it with someone else.
ReplyDeleteAnnette we are supposed to onnly answer tne questions on Second Choral Ode and Second Episode that is the reading up to page 36. It is only 10 questions. I hope that helps!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!!
ReplyDeleteI also have a question in the Second Choral Ode, on question 2 when it asks how the chorus reacts in Tiresias' words are we supposed to look for that answer in the passage before?
ReplyDeleteAlso, no problem!
ReplyDeleteKelly, yes you probably should look back to the passage it shows most of their emotion in the writing in italics.
ReplyDeleteKelly, the answer to that question is in the second choral ode. It is explained a little in the italics and then in the second stophe and antisrophe.
ReplyDeleteYep...we're at 73 comments in the first 5 days. I think we will have a new RM soon.
ReplyDeleteIf you go ahead with questions or reading, that's fine. PLEASE don't turn them in yet, though. It just means you will be ahead on your homwork.
If the sentence is a fragment, just mark is fragment. If it isn't a complete sentence, it can't have a functional verb anyway.
Okay, thank you for clearing that up, Miss Arney! See you Monday!
ReplyDeleteOkay thank you both. Feel better Miss Arney!
ReplyDeleteFor question three of the Second Choral Ode, when it says is it valid regarding the time and place, is the time and place supposed to refer to ancient Greece or the time and place of Oedipus killing Laius?
ReplyDeleteDanielle, I am not sure but I tried to provide evidence for both.
ReplyDeleteDanielle and Lauren, I am also confused on that question. How would beliveing Tiersia's accusations be affected by setting?
ReplyDeleteThe thing I was confused about was at that point the characters did not know yet about when and where Oedipus killed Tiresias. That is discovered when Oedipus talks to Jocasta. So maybe it refers to Ancient Greece and the beliefs now that I think anout it.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the setting of Greece and how it was back then influenced their beliefs of prophecy and the gods communicating to prophets like Tireseas or Delphi from Apollo.
ReplyDeleteThanks Danielle and feel better Miss Arney!
ReplyDeleteDanielle: given the context I'm reading these question, I think you are correct. I don't have my study guide home, so I don't know the exact question to which everyone is referring.
ReplyDeleteThe underlying thematic concept is about fate. The time & place setting would be ancient Greece, so how would people back then feel about Oedipus, their king, telling a PROPHET that he is a liar? What would be the term for a king thinking he knows more than a spokesman for the gods? Anyone?..... Let's play hangman:
_ _ _ _ _ _
Is it Hubris?
ReplyDeleteMiss Arney...would that be hubris?
ReplyDeleteBingo! Why/ how is this demonstrating hubris?
ReplyDeleteHe is showing disrespect for the gods, by implying that the prophecy is false. Therefore, he is acting as if he is better than the gods, as we saw in Mythology, is not a good thing to do!
ReplyDeleteIsn't this demonstrating hubris because he doesn't want the prophet to be true so he kills the person who knows for a fact it is true?
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Tracey and Megan, Oedipus is breaking Zeus's law of respecting the gods which can lead to bad things which it probably foreshadowing.
ReplyDelete*is probably foreshadowing
ReplyDeleteYeah, I agree with what everybody has said with how he is trying to say that the propphecy isn't ture. Also sorry Emily I didn't see your question before.
ReplyDeleteOh, thats fine Lauren.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteFeel better, Miss Arney!
ReplyDeleteLOL, Jeremy. Although, I have to confess it still hurts to laugh.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Oedipus is probably one of the biggest blockheads in literary history.
Thank you Miss Arney and Emily and Tracey and Lauren and anyone else who helped answer the question!
ReplyDeleteAnd Miss Arney I agree with you about Oedipus. I also thought Odysseus was a blockhead too and Achilles was a baby. All the so called "heroes" I don't think portray being super!
I am confused about the part where Creon is proving his innocence. Is he trying to prove himself innocent to Oedipus and the town. Or is he trying to show the people that he is logical while Oedipus is a stubborn maniac accusing him with no evidence.
ReplyDeleteI think he is trying to show both. He wants to show Oedipus and prove him wrong that Oedipus thinks he wants to take the throne. He does this by saying he wouldnt want the throne because then he would have responsibility and power instead of no responsibility now. So he is trying to tell Oedipus and prove to everyone else he is not selfish and is just.
ReplyDeleteFor question 2 of The Third Choral Ode, I can't figure out who the Theban elders say will never be abandoned by the gods in time of need. I only found that they said they would never abandon the gods
ReplyDeleteTeresa, I think for that the answer is the patriotic man, but I'm not definite. You may want to reread it agan, I found that in antistrophe one.
ReplyDeleteMiss Arney, for the grammar worksheet would that be the one on intransitive and transitive verbs?
ReplyDeleteLauren: do you mean for homework? Yes - there were 15 questions you needed to diagram - the last few are about Twilight....does this make sense? and was that your question?
ReplyDeleteYes, Miss Arney that was my question and now I know which worksheet to do, Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMiss Arney I am a little confused on the reading. In page 57 of the book it says that Oedipus was given over to the messenger/shepard. But when I was searching on the internet for the meaning of Oedipus, a website said that Oedipus was found by the messenger/shepard. Which one is it, or is it interpretated differntly.
ReplyDelete"Not found by me, but handed over by another shepard"
P.S. - Hope your feeling better
Hamilton didn't do a good job explaining that, Kevin. That is what I am reviewing on Monday. Don't worry about it for now!
ReplyDeleteMiss Arney, I do not understand how the servant has played a role in Oedipus' life on various occasions.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I find it interesting that it takes Jocasta about a minute after she realizes that Oedipus is her son to begin nagging him.
Jocasta: Though I'm pleading for what's best for you.
Oedipus: [Aw, mom!] What's best for me? I'm tired of hearing that.
Jeremy, the servant took Oedipus from a shepherd. He saved Oedipus' life, romoved the pin that held his feet together, and named him after his swollen feet. Then that servent brought Oedipus to Polybus as a gift. Now that sevant is telling Oedipus about Polybus' death, informing him that Polybus was not his actual father, and helping him discover his origin.
ReplyDeleteYes, I love that she figured it out before he did.
ReplyDeleteThe "shepherd" with the info now is the same person who took baby Oedipus to the mountain to spare his life, giving him to the messenger of Corinth. At THAT time, the messenger of Corinth was a shepherd and the "Shepherd" was a messenger of Laius. Confusing, no?
P.L.E.A.S.E let me explain this on Monday - it will make MUCH more sense then.
..and Annette, you are correct :-) sorry - should have written that before.
ReplyDeleteI am still confused on number eleven, why is Oedipus scared to find out who his true parents are? Does he realize his real family already?
ReplyDeleteI have the same question.... and after talking to a few people I think it is unclear to everyone!
ReplyDeleteLauren and Marissa,
ReplyDeleteThis may be wrong, but I said that Oedipus was scared he would be from an unfortunate family, such as one of a slave. I'm not sure if that is correct but hope that helps!
Thanks so much Tracey that's what I was thinking, but I thought there was another answer I couldn't find.
ReplyDeleteI also thought that maybe Oedipus was scared that Laius was his father and then his father would have really died at the hands of his son, as the prophecy had said. I also think it can be what Tracey said.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I was thinking that too, but I wasn't sure if he realized that the prophecy actually was true or if he was still completely oblivious.
ReplyDeleteNope; he still has no clue. He even thinks Jocasta is being an elitist, worried that he is born of slaves rather than a king and queen.
ReplyDeleteHe will literally have to be hit with a brick before he puts this together.
Ok, thanks Miss. Arney, I was just still confused on that.
ReplyDeleteFor the Oedipus project, if we did a yearbook should it be like the Mythology yearbook or should we only do the goals and pictures and superlatives for our one character? If we use should use multiple characters would it be okay to repeat them?
ReplyDeleteDanielle, i think it should only be for one character because for the facebook page we only have to do one character. So it would make sense to do a yearbook page for only one character.
ReplyDeleteThis might be an obvious question but for the Oedipus Facebook page, it is to be printed, correct? What I mean is that does it have to be a literal page on Facebook or just an imitation?
ReplyDeleteThank you Megan!
ReplyDeleteShawna, you could make it either a literal printed facebook page or you could create your own page just like the layout of a facebook page. Miss Arney posted examples in the classroom today so that might help give you an idea of what it should look like!
Okay, thank you Danielle!
ReplyDeleteFor question number nine in the fourth episode, the light/ dark motif refers to Oedipus' blindness, right?
ReplyDeleteLauren,
ReplyDeleteI believe that you are right - the light and dark are symbols of truth. I believe that they also represent Oedipus' willingness to turn a blind eye to the truth, like he did many times earlier in the play. I am not completely sure that is correct, but I hope it helps!
Thanks, Shawna!
ReplyDeleteI do not know how I cannot find this but I've been looking on the webpage and cannot find the link for the Facebook page can anyone help me find it?
ReplyDeleteKelly,
ReplyDeleteIf you go to the Weekly Agenda, at the bottom of the page (or on Wednesday's homework) you can find a link to the assignment.
Just from looking at the agenda... assuming you are all caught up on Oedipus study guide questions and reading, all you have to complete is the Epilogue, right?
ReplyDeleteMissy,
ReplyDeleteI think that is correct. That is all it says on the agenda and I don't think we would have to start the next section. And also there are no study guide questions for the next section
Thanks Marissa, I found it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Teresa!
ReplyDeleteoops... and you're welcome Kelly!
ReplyDeleteFor tonight's grammar homework, for exercise 11, do we have to complete it even thought we were never shown predicate nominatives and predicate adjectives in class? i understand that it is explained on the page before but just today Ms.Arney told us to assume that if we have not done somethong in class yet then we are not doing the right homwork? Does anyone know if she mentioned anything about it?
ReplyDeleteTara,
ReplyDeleteMiss Arney said that we are not to do Exercise 11 tonight - we just have to take the notes on Subject Complements.
Tara, you are only doing ex 13 and not ex 11 because we didnt learn it and Mrs. Arney also said this in class.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to update the webpage right now...Yes: ONLY ex 13 - we didn't cover complements today!
ReplyDeleteAgenda is updated!
ReplyDeleteFor the Oedipus facebook project is there a way that we could figure out the characters last names? Or are they not necessary?
ReplyDeleteThere aren't any last names
ReplyDeleteTonight I am doing both the Fifth Choral Ode and the Epilogue to get ahead...
ReplyDeleteThe Fifth Choral Ode is one page long, and next comes the Epilogue which is about 2-3 pages long in our books. After the Epilogue comes "Choral Dialogue". Are we supposed to read the Choral Dialogue along with the Epilogue? Or just the Epilogue alone?
Since it is not on the agenda and it comes after what is on the agenda I don't think we have to read it because, for all the other assignments she told us if we had to read it so I think she would have told us if we were supposed to but I am not positive
ReplyDeleteDoes the bonus have to be typed on the Tiresias story?
ReplyDeleteYou will need to finish the rest of the play over the weekend - that includes the final few pages of the Choral Dialogue. I need to add the questions online from that portion of the reading - I don't know why they aren't in your study guide (grrrr!) It's only a few pages and you get to laugh at his misery, so no worries.
ReplyDelete...no, the bonus does not need to be typed.
Thanks Teresa and Miss Arney!
ReplyDeleteFor Oedipus, I am confused on question number 2: What was Oedipus' original intention when he rushed into the palace?
ReplyDeleteFor the yearbook page journal do do I have to describe the clubs, activities,or high school classes like in the yearbook project? Also for the favorites should they be real or made up?
ReplyDeleteWell, he just found out what happened to him as a baby...what do you think he planned to do when he ran into the palace?
ReplyDeleteAnnette: you realize you are not doing BOTH pages: either facebook or yearbook...
and, for yearbook you would make an elaborate senior page with courses, college choice, quote, clubs, etc.
I thought he planned to go in and yell at her. Is that correct?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Miss Arney!
ReplyDeleteLauren I was not completely sure about that question either, but Oedipus did ask for a weapon so I though he was going to hurt or even kill her.
Thanks, Annette!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it kind of ironic that Oedipus plans on killing Jocasta and then breaks down when he sees her dead body?
ReplyDeleteA bit, Jeremy, but probably more human than ironic. Oedipus isn't an evil man - that's what makes him a tragic hero.
ReplyDeleteHe's impulsive - which is why he responded in a violent rage but then sees his wife (yes, gross, but he did love her) hanging and reacts accordingly. Do you agree...or no?
When is the Oedipus test? Vocab test?
ReplyDeleteThanks
Missy, I think the Vocab test is tommorow, but you might want to double check with Miss Arney. Also I have no clue when the Oedipus test is, sorry!
ReplyDeleteFor diagramming in exercise 11, do we have to draw the arrow after the linking verb? Or can we just use a diagonal line for both the predicate nominative and predicate adjective?
ReplyDeleteMiss. Arney for the Oedipus journal for facebook, do the ten messages have to be from ten different characters?
ReplyDeleteTracy, I think you only have to draw a diagnol line. The arrow part Miss Arney said I think was for if it helped you to remember where the line pointed to.
ReplyDeleteMissy, I am also not sure of when the Oedipus test is but I thought the vocab tests were usually on Tuesdays but I could be wrong.
Miss Arney,
ReplyDeleteAccording to the list of terms that can be defined in the front of the book, are we going to go over it in class because I could not find defitions for all of them in the study guide?
For tonight's homework, for TKAMB, what should we do; just read the chapters?
ReplyDeleteIn the facebook Oedipus journal, do the 10 wall posts have to be different post or do comments on posts count?
ReplyDeleteWhat's everyone's Facebook name for their character's? Mine is Antigone Rex.
ReplyDeleteKelly, mine is Tiresias Prophet
ReplyDeleteEmily, I had the same question and still am not sure.
ReplyDeleteKelly, I am Apollo Olympus. Also I had a question is it okay if i choose Apollo even though he does not have a speaking part?
ReplyDeleteErika, yes I believe it is ok if you go to the link about the journal Miss Arney says that you can have characters that are indirectly in the novel post comments on peoples walls, so I am assuming you can also make Apollo, I could be wrong though so it's probably best you get a direct answer from Miss. Arney
ReplyDeleteMiss Arney and everyone, I have a couple of questions...
ReplyDelete1. Are we allowed to all just write our Facebook names on this blog, and then we will have a wide variety of people to talk with on walls and comments and everything?
2. If we are not allowed to do that, or we just choose to do this with a small group of people each with their own account, would we be graded as a group or by your individual work?
I forgot one, and this is directed at Miss Arney:
ReplyDeleteIn the past you have mentioned that you have a Facebook account, so for grading purposes would it be easier for us to print out our profiles and hand them all in or to just friend you with these profiles?
Miss Arney, for the Oedipus Lingo, is it Tuesday or Thursday? And also, how many people are allowed to go again?
ReplyDeleteIt is Thursday.
ReplyDeletethe number of people that can go is around 30. i think it may have been 32
ReplyDeleteDid Creon go himself to the Oracle of Delphi or did Oedipus send him there?
ReplyDeletei believe oedipus sent him
ReplyDeletedid we get the grammar worksheet 1 yet?
ReplyDeleteI don't know about your class but our class didn't get it either Jason
ReplyDeleteMiss Iorio said Miss Arney has the grammar so when she returns I'm guessing we will get it.
ReplyDeleteIf I am doing a yearbook page, should there be an estimated amount or minimum number of superlatives, classes, etc. or should we just do as many as we need or want?
ReplyDeleteDanielle, I did the yearbook page too. I did around 6-8 for each.
ReplyDeleteMiss Arney,
ReplyDeleteFor tomorrow's Oedipus Lingo game afterschool, if we are not able to participate because of the limited supply of boards, are we allowed to still come and take notes?
Yes Shawna, you are allowed to just come and watch the lingo and take notes.
ReplyDeleteRe: the Lingo game - I might just let you guys pair up so 2 people can play on one board. that will allow one person to take notes for the other to copy later if necessary and eliminate the potential bloodshed outside of my classroom. The school really frowns on biohazardous material on the 3rd floor. darn.
ReplyDelete;-)
For the grammar homework, are we to follow the directions that are on the sheet?
ReplyDeleteThank you Annette!
ReplyDeleteMissy, you only have to diagram the subject, verb or verbs, and predicate adjective or predicate nominative for each sentence.
For the Oedipus yearbook page, if we do superlatives should we do the superlatives for just our character or do we have to do two people for one superlative like the mythology yearbook?
ReplyDeleteMiss Arney,
ReplyDeleteFor the Oedipus Facebook page, can we print out the project in black and white and then color in the pictures and various applications?
I have been trying forever to make a real Facebook and the company is denying me over and over. They say they will not approve of the name Tiresais. Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteFinally got it! :)
ReplyDeleteI think everyone should know that technology hates me.
ReplyDeleteThanks Danielle!
ReplyDeleteFor the facebook should are we supposed to print it to submit or friend Miss Arney. Also, for the project is it alright if you have two Tiresias's or two Jocasta's comment on your wall? Are we allowed to have multiple people (2 creons) as friends?
ReplyDeleteYou can do either, friend Miss Arney or print it. Also, everyone basically has two or more of one character, so I think that is an okay.
ReplyDeleteThanks Erica.
ReplyDeleteSo just friending Miss Arney is ok? We don't have to print it?
ReplyDeleteThank you Jason and Miss Arney!
ReplyDeleteTori, I believe you are correct but I would have a printed copy just in case - Miss Arney said today in class that she would prefer a print out.
Also...Miss Arney,
I have a question regarding To Kill A Mockingbird - would you like us to take notes on chapters 1-7 or just make sure that we know what happened?
Are the four themes of a drama or tragedy hubris, man and gods, destiny and fate, and freedom and responsibility or are they punishment, exile, death, and vengeance? I know the second four were in the packet and said they were normally in a tragedy but I was not sure if they are themes.
ReplyDeleteFor the yearbook/facebook project when you say include shout outs from friends and family can we do other characters writing a little blurb about the character that the yearbook page is for? Or should we do our character writng blurbs about other characters in the book?
ReplyDeleteMiss Arney, I have a big problem regarding my facebook!
ReplyDeleteWhen I made my profile, it would not accept the name Oedipus, so I made it Oedpius (switched the "i" and the "p") thinking that once I made it, I would go to the settings and change it back to the correct spelling. However, when I went to do that, they rejected my request and said "The Facebook Team has rejected your name request." I tried several times, and each time it did not work.
I don't know what to do, being that my name is spelled wrong and I can't change it. I am also pretty much done so I don't think I can make a new account at this point.
Please help!
Marissa
Victoria, I think you can have other people write comments about you but it would be something else than shoutouts. It is kind of like something in the mythology yearbook.
ReplyDeleteMissy, I think it is ok you spelt it wrong but I am not positive. Miss Arney knew that you can not spell Oedipus correctly on facebook. If worst comes to worst maybe you could white out the p and the i. Sorry I wish I could help more!
Danielle: you are such a good person!
ReplyDeleteMarissa - yes, there are too many oedipuses out there! You can slightly change his name (or make it something like King Oedipus; Rexy Oedipus; etc)
That's why it is better to print it out - that way, if you have to misspell it, you can white out the misspelling and write it in.
The shout outs can be either- normally it's the person saying something to other people
When we print it out should we just print the one page with our wall and the comments or do we also print out the Info, Photos, and Other Applications as well?
ReplyDeleteI am confused on what the thymele is...according to the definition in the purple book it states that it is an alter that serves as a stage prop but on the picture in the purple book and the crossword puzzle it says that the thymele is a processional to honor Dionysus. So basicaly is the thymele an alter or a ceremony?
ReplyDelete
