The Rationalists
1. Briefly describe the difference between the Puritans and the Rationalists. Please be careful not to repeat the same words you have read in this entry. Then give an example of something going on today that would be a good illustration of Puritan thought, and one that would be a good example of Rationalist thought.

1. The rationalists are a group of people that lived in the time called age of reason in the 1700s. They believed that god made the world and every thing living on it, but that it was up to the humans to find out a way to live and survive in it. This was a big slap tin the face to the puritans because the believed that you were not to question god in any type of way. That you were only to go to church and every thing you did needed to be for god or he would let you fall in to hell and their was no way to make god happy. One example of something going on today that would be some what like the puritans and the rationalists would be evolution. The rationalist example part would be that every ting on the earth evolved from different species. An example would be that humans evolved from monkeys. The puritans example would be that god made everything the way it looks right now and we should not question god in any type of way.

2. Give one example from The Autobiography of how Franklin is a good example of a rationalist. Make sure you explain why, and provide an example straight from the text.

2. One example of how Franklin was a good rationalist was that he wanted to improve his life. So instead of saying that he wanted god to help him he took it in to his own hands and made a chart of his thirteen virtues and for each day of the week and marked each virtues as he went. Then at the end of the week he went back and looked at his chart that had all of his data and analyzed it. Franklin used logic and science to improve his life and not god.

4. If you were to make a list of thirteen virtues to improve upon in your life, what would they be? List them the way Franklin did. Do you think you could reach moral perfection in this way? Explain how you feel. This should be a paragraph or two.


*Work on school work; the more school work I do the faster I can graduate.

*Pay bills; I need to get my self out of debt (car payments)

*Get more organized with my time; need to organize my time so I can do more school work.

*Stop spending money on things I don’t need; Stop buying clothes and fast food.

*Learn how to be more tolerant; I really need to learn to stay calm when I get mad and not let small things get to me.

*Spend more time with my family; I only have one family and years goes by really fast.

* Be a better friend : i tend to kind to push them away at times.

* Be more involved in school activitys : it will look good when im apllying to college.

* bring my gpa up. the higher the better

* my health : if i dont get that together it is gooing to be bad later down the road.

* put more effort in around the house. it will get some of a load off to my in laws

* do more activitys with my dog : he may be a dog but he needs lots of love.

* do more things for myself: i find myself always thinking of others but i need to make myself happy too.

I dont think i can reach all these in moral profection. I can get to it as close as possibole. All of my goals are reasonable. Its just that i need to put more effort in to all 13 of my goals. What i plan to do is take one goal at a time and work at it until it comes to close as possible.

Make-Up

Make-UP

Where, oh where to start with the wonderful invention called make-up. Make up is used by many of women and teenaged girls all over the world. Make-up is used for many different things. Some examples are covering up something you don't want any body to see, or if you want to match an outfit you just bought in the mall. Some girls who don't wear so much make up just like some powder to keep their face from being too oily. Let’s break it down because I could go on and on. The most common types of make up are foundation, eye-shadow, and lipstick. All these things can be broken down in to smaller categories; the most important thing a girl needs to know is how to use make-up because it can make you look pretty or just plain out ugly if you don’t know how to use it!
Let’s start off at the first steps you do for a great looking face. One you need to have a good moisturizer so your skin is soft and not dry (it helps your make up go on smoother). After you’re done with that, you need a good foundation that matches your skin color. You spread it on all over your face. However if you have something that you want to cover up that your foundation is not covering up you use the wonderful thing called congealer this also needs to match your skin color. You just use a very small amount over the spot you want to cover up. You want to use a small amount because it is thicker than your foundation.
After you have done all these steps you want to use some blush on your cheek bones. Again you don’t want this to look very natural so use a soft shade of pink that looks good on your skin. When this step is completed you want to use powder to set the foundation and also so you don’t look so oily. Remember to use a color that is as close to your skin color as possible. Say you were to use a shade of foundation that wasn’t your skin color, you would end up having a line of two types of skin tone when it came underneath your chin.
The next step is the eyes. The eyes are very important because they are what people look at when you are speaking to them. The color that you are going to pick out has to look good with the outfit you are wearing but it can’t be some crazy color (only if you can pull it off but if not doesn’t try it!). I am going to use myself as an example. I wear a lot of black blouses and natural colors like brown and sometimes pink and red, but mostly black! Lucky for me I don’t have to buy tons of different colors of eye-shadow, instead I buy shades of brown and black.
If I was wearing black blouse this is how I would do my eye-shadow. The first thing you need to remember is that I should always go light to dark. Before I start I need to have a set of eye-shadow brushes that are sold at any type of store like Wal-Mart. First I use a very, and I mean very shiny light pink all over my eye lid. Then I have a compact that I bought at Victoria’s Secret that has a light gray, dark gray a bronze brown and black and all these colors go on very smoothly and they all flow together(very important don’t for get it). After putting on the light pink the next color is the light gray. I Use the brush that is round and soft then rub it against the light gray over the small part of your eye-lid.
The next step is to get the brush that has bristles that go straight across. I Rub it against the darker shade of gray and follow the crease of my eye-lid. I should make sure that I only go upwards and it is kind of like outlining a drawing. Then here is the tricky part the color black. You want to pick up the brush that goes at an angle. With this brush I want to rub it against the black, but do it lightly. I can always go over it if I want to make it darker. I will start at my crease of the eye and go upwards, I don’t go al the way to the tear gland. It needs to have a blended affect. If by this time I don’t like how dark it is, I go over it until I am happy.
The next steps are small but still very important. After finishing my eye-shadow I want to get mascara that complements my eye color. I don’t know about blue, green, gray or light brown eyes because I have dark brown eyes, and I use very dark black. When I apply the mascara I make my lashes go the natural way they go, and just apply layer after layer until they are nice and thick. The next step is brow shading for those girls who have think eye-brows. I don’t have thin eye-brows but not thick either. So I picked out a color that is the color of my hair. I want it to look very natural, I apply a thin layer of brow shadow and fill in. Doing this makes my eyebrows darker and makes me have a defined look.
Last but not least are the wonderful lips! To decide what type of color to use depends on the type of look you are going for. For, example during the day you want a light natural color. I use a soft pink balm, but if I am going out in the night to a club I can put some lip-gloss on, but once again nothing crazy. You can never go wrong with a clear lip-gloss and you will have the natural color of your lips. That is what you want to aim for!
If you follow all these steps you will have beautiful make up that will last all day. Most of all you won’t look like a clown. Remember you want to keep it looking natural and soft. Most of all if you forget to do one of these steps your whole face is going to be out of balance, no matter how small it is it is the little things that give you that fabulous finish look. If you are ever doubting yourself you can always go on line and see what is in fashion. One web site I like to get my make-up is Mark; it is a line of Avon. Remember you are beautiful with or without make-up.

*Favi's Sonnet*

Love

How do I know this thing is called love is real?

Does it fill your heart with joy and make you happy?

Are you sure you are as fortunate as he makes you feel?

But most of all you know he will never make you unhappy.

Does he let you know that in his heart you are always safe?

Is your hearts lover the one shining heavenly angel in disguise?

Does your star let you know that he has you locked in his fate?

Is your lover the one who will fight for you and stay by your side?

When your knight in armor is the beginning of your worst nightmare.

Your lover will break your heart until the point you will stand no more.

Your lover will lie, disappoint, and betray you, not caring at all if it is fair.

In years to come you will not be that silly girl who gave her heart on a silver plate.

You are a shining star that will shine forever and forget about that cheapskate!!!

Literature 12 project one :The Renaissance-Sonnets

1. Examine the difference between the rhyme scheme Spencer uses and the one Shakespeare uses. Explain the difference. Which one do you prefer?

William Shakespeare's poem was way easier for me to understand. Shakespeare in his poem was as if he was in love and describe his lover in words. When I read Edmund Spencer poem it was me really confusing .But when i read it the 3rd time i under stood the poem. What i think he is trying to say is that he loves or likes this girl and the more he shows his love for her the more she backs off.

2. The rhyme scheme divides sonnets into four sections. The first section is a question asked from one point of view, the second is the same question asked from another point of view. The third section is called the turn. The turn is a shift in focus or the thoughts of the first two points of view. The last section is the conclusion. Use this method to explain the message in each of the four sections of the two poems above.

1.William Shakespeare section one: I think what he is trying to say that if he should compare someone to something beautiful.

Section 2: what i think he is trying to say in this section is that, she is so pretty that it could be a bad thing every once in a while.

Section 3: this section is that no matter what happens he will always love her even if it gets bad every once in a while.

Section 4: that as long as he is with her and she still loves he and she loves him he will be happy.

2. Edmund Spencer section one: This came to me as if he likes some one but tries to hard and she does not like his attention.

Section 2 He wonders why does she not like him as much as he likes him.

Section 3: i think he is trying to say that how could some one love someone so much but can be so cold heart but still he loves her.

Section 4 Love is a very powerful thing and it will take over you.


Choose one more of Shakespeare's sonnets as well as another one of Spencer's sonnets. You can find these all over the Internet. Post each poem on your blog then: a. Label the rhyme scheme like my examples; b. explain the message in each of the four sections like you did in question #2.


(1) My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun; (A)
Coral is far more red than her lips' red; (B)
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; (A)
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. (B)
_____________________________________________________
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white, (C)
But no such roses see I in her cheeks; (D)
And in some perfumes is there more delight(C)
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.(D)
________________________________________________________
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know (E)
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;(F)
I grant I never saw a goddess go; (E)
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground :( F)
_______________________________________________
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare (G)
As any she belied with false compare. (G)

To dy in dust, but you shall live in fame(D)
My verses your virtues rare shall eternize,(C)
And in heavens wryte your glorious name.(D)

Where whenas death shall all the world subdew, (E)
Our love shall live, and later life renew."(E)
