Think Through Faustus

1.I think the deal Faustus makes with Mephisto was what he wanted. He made the deal under his own terms.
  • Faust challenges Mephisto to show fruit that, before we pluck them, rot and trees whose foliage everyday makes new.

3. Faust thinks Mephisto(the devil) is an egoist and would not someone's servant without something in return.

Money

"Money is the root of all evil" We've all heard it before but to me money is nutrient to putting food on the table, a roof over your/family's head,and clothes on the table. "The more money the more problems". That saying however, I can't say I can agree or diagree but when you have money waht problems come besides taxes? So unforturnately money does make the world go round, Three and Four times!

School

School is not my favorite subject,activity,thing to do,etc. Its not hard because you do nothing but its fun because its where you get run your mouth even though they try to stop us and they fail, hang out, and act a fool. So school to me is lame and fun at the same time.

Songs that Celebrate

1. The praise songs of the people to the gods usually describe the deeds and the qualities that the gods possess. The songs are to praise them but also have critism in them, this is way the gods know to live up to their responsibilites. Also the songs in some ways are plees to help them.

2. The tone of the speakers are very pleased. Very knowing the person or god they're praising. They adore, admire, and respect this person or god.

3. Oshun(river goddess) was most appealing to me. First of all she's a woman, a chief, she cures,very wise, helpful to the people by ways of her medicine being free, and she turns blood into children. I don't know her but I gained respect for her.

2. The king's death was the cause of the Plague in Thebes.
3. Generations strewn on the ground unburied unwept, the dead spreading death. Wails for mercy rise clashing with ours sobs our cries of mourning.
4. Let that man drag out his life in agony, step by painful step- I curse myself as well.... if by any chance he proves to be an inmate of our house, here at my heart, with my full knowledge, may the curse I just called strike down on him strike me.
5. Tiresias names Oedipus the murder of Laius.
6. Tiresias plotted to kill him and still his crown and power thats, why Oedipus turned against Tiresias.
7. Oedipus becomes fearful because he had an en counter at that plac and killled a man, so he feared that he was the killer of Laius.
8. Oedipus learned that Polybus(his adopted father) died.
9. He was found by a herdsman pinned by his ankles to hedge of a mountain, he took him to another city and was adpoted by Polybus and his wife.
