Unpleasant trialing, like Cotton Mather?
ReplyDeleteIf the SAT were testing amplitude, I think I would have scored much higher. And if they were testing AMPlitude, I would’ve turned it up to 11!
That definition of Carpe Diem is wonderful.
Whenever someone has an outburst w/ drugs, the drugs usually do the outbursting.
I always make sure the gratitude of the situation is fully understood!
Man, hell really DOES cause a terrible afterlife. True true.
Macbeth, where my car?

Seize the girl and cease the day!
I don't always mind when my students use informal or slang language, like "Macbeth was bummed." My problem is that the particular phrase does not touch the depths of the character's emotions. He was a little more than bummed.
ReplyDeleteI did wonder where the people who lived and died before John Locke got their rights. And I know little about Locke, but didn't even he say that the rights were "granted by God"?
Teaching the carpe diem poetry was fun, by the by. My students were like, "Are we really talking about sex in an English class?"
