ABOUT HAMLET~ The Tragedy of Hamlet Arguably the best piece of writing ever done by William Shakespeare, Hamlet the is the classic example of a tragedy. In all tragedies the hero suffers, and usually dies at the end. Othello stabs himself, Romeo and Juliet commit suicide, Brutis falls on his sword, and like them Hamlet dies by getting cut with a poison tipped sword. But that is not all that is needed to consider a play a tragedy, and sometimes a hero doesn't even need to die. Not every play in which a Hero dies is considered a tragedy. There are more elements needed to label a play one. Probably the most important element is an amount of free will. In every tragedy, the characters must displays some. If every action is controlled by a hero's destiny, then the hero's death can't be avoided, and in a tragedy the sad part is that it could. Hamlet's death could have been avoided many times. Hamlet had many opportunities to kill Claudius, but did not take advantage of them. He also had the option of making his claim public, but instead he chose not too. He also has to have free will, in order to stand up for what he believes in. Finally, the audience was able to feel sympathy for the position Hamlet was in. These attributes made Hamlet the perfect example of a tragic hero.

Money is not everything Dear,all , Money is not everything , Money can buy house , but not home. Money can buy bed , but not sleep. Money can buy clock , but not time. Money can buy book , but not knowledge. Money can buy dresses , but not pretty. Money can buy slim , but not happy. Money can buy food , but not appetite. Money can buy position , but not respect. Money can buy blood , but not life. Money can buy medicine , but not health. Money can buy sex , but not love. Money can buy insurance , but not safety. You see money is not everything. Therefore, if you have too much, Please give some to me! Everyone loves money and goes all out to get as much of it as he can. Indeed, money can satisfy one's desire and needs, but it is also important for a man to make sure whether he is making the money at the cost of things that money can't buy.Money can't buy friendship for true friendship is priceless. Money can't buy a clear conscience. It may even be the root of all evil. Besides, money can not buy happiness.Happiness consists in contentment. The richer you are, the less happy you may be.Money plays an important role in our lives, but it is absolutely not omnipotent. Life is realy a short journey which is worth a real experience. After all, no one can take all his money with him when his journey comes to an end.

THE STORY Dolled the Milkmaid having been a good girl, and careful in her work, her mistress gave her a pail of fresh milk for herself. With the pail upon her head, Dolly tripped gaily along on her way to the town, where she was going to sell her milk. “ For this milk,” said Dolly, “ I shall get a shilling, and with it I will buy twenty of the eggs laid by our neighbor’ s fine fowls. “ The mistress will surely lend me a hen, and, allowing for all mishaps, I shall raise a good dozen of chicks. “ They will be well grown before the next fair-time comes round, and it is then that chickens bring the highest price. I shall be able to sell them for a guinea. “ Then I will buy that sweater that I saw in the village the other day, and a hat and ribbons, too; and when I go to the fair, how smart I shall be! “ Robin will be there and will come up and offer to be friends again. But I won’ t come round too easily; and when he wants me for a partner in the dance, I shall just toss up my head and” Here Dolly gave her head the least bit of a toss, when down came the pail, and all the milk was spilled upon the ground. Poor Dolly! It was hr good-by to eggs, chickens, sweater, hat, ribbons, and all. “Don’t count your chicken before they are hatched.” I think this story is very interesting and meaningful. Dolly acts silly as she should concentrate to her job instead of day dreaming. This story tells us that when we doing things we should follow the steps and not to dream the steps behind, if the very first goal fails, everything fails.

THE MOVIE: Shakespeare in Love I saw a preview of this movie and it was terrific. Most period movies are long, boring, usually low-concept and often as emotionally heavy as the costumes in which the actors trudge around (Elizabeth, Wings of the Dove, The Piano, Restoration, etc...)Well this movie was different. Don't be afraid of the word Shakespeare in the title! This movie is not a junior-high history lesson. It's light, funny, romantic, and a totally irreverent look at Elizabethan England.The screenplay is brilliant. The best writing in a movie I've seen this year. The idea is that Shakespeare is not some grave, great poet, but a young guy trying to make his way in the theatre. He's written good plays, but nothing truly transcendent. The conceit is that an ill-fated romance--the one great true love of this life--with a beautiful, smart woman is what inspires him to write his first immortal play: Romeo and Juliet.In this era of world-exploding actioners and cookie-cutter Adam Sandler movies, it's rare to see such a specific, ingenious, and inspired story for a film.The best part about this movie is its sense of humor. It plays with history, takes a great man abut whom we know alomost nothing, and creates a fantasy about his life that is totally outrageous, funny and real.Also, the movie is really romantic. The costumes are lush, the leads look great and have real chemistry together. I used to think that Gwyneth was overrated, but here she's radiant. And Joe Fiennes has an intensity and a vulnerabiliy, as well as a sense of humor, that I for one find sorely lacking in his older brother Ralph.Needless to say, this is the best date movie of the year.

I don't feel good recently,but yesterday when I talked to my friend on MSN,I saw this cute picture,and it made me smile~Maybe, just like it said:"I CAN ALWAYS MAKE YOU SMILE."

Finally,we broke up!Having fight again and again,I'm tired now! Are we still friends?I don't know~ You said that we need more time to forget everything,but,how can you explain your hands holding on mine's? I can't stop thinking~Maybe, these two years I have learned a lot, but at the same time,I have lost many things. It is the right time to get them back,right? All I want is live for myself!
