The Judgment of Solomon

From the Herbrew Bible "The Judgment of Solomon" is basically of two women who claim to be the mother of the same child. Both gave birth the same day in the same place but over night one of the new born died. In the morning one claim that the other exchange her baby with the dead one overnight. This was brought to the King to decided who the child will stay with, and he came up with an idea of cutting the child in half given both a part of him. What a solution, dont you think? At the end you find out that he did that on purpose, because he knew that the real mother woudnt let that happened. She would rather give her child away then kill it, and thats what happened. Its funny how life is, the extreme a person will go to. Lie to yourself, believe your baby is not dead and take another one like a game you just start over.

El Tonto del Barrio

"El Tonto Del Barrio," written by Jose Armas touched me. Is a story of how the village man is used to teach a lesson to the audience? It starts with Romero as "El Tonto del Barrio" meaning the dummy of the neighborhood, which with the help of his community he was able to function in the real world by sweeping the streets day after day. Romero gives the community character through his positive attitude, he always seemed happy you would always see him whistling or singing while he was sweeping the streets. For this the neighbors would always treat him with kindness, loyalty, and respect. But is it all ruin when his brother Seferino a college student tries to help him but instead turns Romero world upside down when he offered to pay him a wage for his work sweeping. A famous saying represents this story "when you try to give a man your hand they later want the whole arm". It's sad but true and this story represents what happeneds in life day after day. People never seem to be satisfy with what one gives them and that's what happened here, Romero later wanted a raised for what he did and that is where the problem began Seferino couldn't give him any more so Romero just quit doing what he got paid to do sweep. So things are better left alone.

Interpretation

Understand what the author is trying to say, known as Explication. Analyzing line by line the text something i never seem to quite very well intrepret, could it be beacause iam not reading the text correctly or because that is my own intrepretation of what he or she was trying to say. Is there a right or wrong answer? i wounder. Example, when we where put in groups and given a poem to define my interpretation of LONDON by Willaim Blake was the opposite of what the rest of my classmate came up with. I though it was about a women who had a disease and was passing it to everyone in the village and thats why everything was dark. I made this decision when he said " most through midnight streets I hear how the youthfull Harlot's curse". The sadness " In every cry of every man, In every infant cry of fear". In reality its about how one man depress see the world.

Literature...

What is Literature....

Literature is just a fancy way of saying it. Words are what define literature. I consider literature as a form of expression by either oral act or written down on paper. I would say it's one of the best way to let out stress. One can put our imagination to work and do what ever you want with anyone judging. To me there is no wrong way in writing, so one shouldn't go by a pre made format cause that just wouldn't be you. Great writers have expressed there feeling without actually saying it, they transform feeling and acts into things and make believe places. So anything can be define as literature example poetry, novels, history, biography, and essays. The differences between them is there form. My Literature has no form to go by, or right or wrong answer.

What is Art...

My Meaning of Art....

Art a word that varies in meaning. Its define as "the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance." To me the meaning of art is an unknown feeling, a sense of something out of this world In which you can't really define or put into words. It can be a painting, thing or something that attracks your attention and transport your mind. To everyone is not the same because we are all different and see thing in are own way. For example the expression on a moms face when they first see there first born child, there face light up and your hole world doesn't seem to matter at that point. Its the feeling they are going to at that moment which I consider an art. It's something in life you don't usually see.
In other moment when I see a painting or sculpture of something I could have never imagine how to bring to life. They call these "talent" which everyone is born with but some just learn how to perfect it. They create feelings into something we can see and touch. Like a puzzle we try to put together that takes us hours, days, months and up to even years to finish. When it's all finally done, it all made sense. This is the meaning of my art.
