My Perspective About Oedipus Rex


Oedipus the King often known by the Latin title Oedipus Rex is an Athenian tragedy by Sophocles that was first performed c. 429 BC. It was the second of Sophocles's three Theban plays to be produced, but it comes first in the internal chronology, followed by Oedipus at Colonus and then Antigone. Over the centuries, it has come to be regarded by many as the Greek tragedy par excellence.


Oedipus is one ofthe best Tragedians. I think he is good writer. Most of his plays and poems is about a serious and somber themes beacause he is a tragedian. Maybe he based his play and performance by his ow experience. Because when he was a child someone wants to kill him but a Shepherd protects him and rescue the child and that Shepherd name Albert Greiner as Oedipus it means swollen feet. Albert or Oedipus didn't feel to have parents because he is abandoned not really abandoned but he is just carry and take care by sheperds. If I was Albert I will feel so sad because my parents not took care of me. But i'ts good because of his experience he known as the best tradegian he became more popular.

Discrimination is the actual behavior of people towards to a group of people. By discriminating or punishing many people. This is how the Nazis discriminate Jewish.

The Nazis are very notorious. That they could even kill many people even just a children. They punish the Jewish they give the responsibilties of men to women. They shave the hair of Jewish. They are very bad. They all keep the Jewish in death camp that all the old women died because of tiresome, hunger and severe diseases, even a strong man.

"The Death and suffering of Anne Frank"


Anne Frank is just a 15 year old Girl who live in Frankfurt Germany. They are Jewish but then Nazis is there rival and Nazis discriminating Jewish. That's why Anne and her family moved to Amsterdam in Holland and this is the start of Anne Frank's new life but the story Didn't end there are also Nazis who were living there and all the Jewish they saw they Discriminating it. So Otto and his Family go to a secret place where Otto is working with herbs but there is a spy who watching them most of the time that's why they also catches by Nazis.


And this is the start of Anne Frank's discrimination and her family too. If I were Anne Frank I will feel very frightened and so nervous. If I was in that place with nothing too eat even to drink. I will pray to God but if it's my time to rest I'll accept but not to kill by Nazis. Maybe I should kill myself or suicide because there's no more reason to live in that place without any food and rest. But I can't kill myself because this is a Gift from God. I should do is to wait my time to die. But not to kill by Nazis but from being tired and loss of energy or by having a kind of disease.

Film Review "Brave Heart"

Summary Of Brave Heart

After years in Scotland, the land was open to an invasion from the south. King Edward I of England he decided to conquer Scotland. After invading Scotland and winning the war, Edward granted areas of land in Scotland to his, which they were to rule, along with the traditional privileges. One of these privileges was Primae Noctis, the right for the lord to take a newly married Scottish woman into his bed and spend the wedding night with the bride. William Wallace grows up in this atmosphere of repression and fear and survives the death of his father and brother. His uncle arrives and takes him away to live with him. They travel Europe and Wallace learns to read, write and speak Latin and French. When he returns home, he falls in love with his childhood sweetheart Murron MacClannough , and they marry in secret so that she does not have to spend a night in the bed of the English lord. However, the marriage is discovered and after a fight in the marketplace, Murron is captured. Wallace can't get there in time to save her and she is killed by the Sherriff. Wallace, with the other villagers, storms the garrison and kills all the English soldiers there, as well as the Sherriff. Wallace is compelled to fight against the English who have taken over his homeland and enslaved himself and his countrymen and women. Wallace's army grows as other Scotsmen arrive to fight the English. They fight a number of successful battles and Longshanks is worried enough by the threat he poses to send Princess Isabell to try and negotiate peace with him. Princess Isabelle is the wife of Prince Edward (Peter Hanly) the Prince of Wales and Longshanks sent her because his son is a weak man and would not be imposing enough to negotiate, but she is a strong leader. As a French princess, Longshanks also knows that if Wallace kills her, the French king will declare war on Wallace in revenge. Wallace rejects the offer of a title, an estate and a chest of gold that Longshanks has told Isabelle to offer and continues with the fighting. However, during their conversation, Isabelle tells Wallace that she understands his suffering and that she has heard about the death of his woman. They share a moment of understanding and she becomes charmed by him. For Wallace to continue fighting, he needs the Scottish nobility on his side, contributing troops and food. But Wallace has problems convincing the nobility that they have a real chance to take back the country from the English. The nobles think that the Scots will lose and the English will treat them even worse than they are treated now. Also, the nobles are getting money from England and live quite well. Some of them are more concerned that this money continues to come and that their standard of living continues to be the best instead of looking after their people. Robert the Bruce is particularly torn over what he sees as his duty to the people to free them and what his father tells him to do to keep in good with the English. Eventually, two of the nobles betray Wallace at the Battle of Falkirk. Wallace is wounded badly and forced into hiding. He begins a guerilla war, which includes the murder of the two men who betrayed him at Falkirk. During the guerilla war, he meets again with Princess Isabelle, who has told him about a trap that Longshanks had set. Wallace evades the trap and kills the soldiers who were sent to capture him. He and Isabelle spend a night together. Unbeknownst to Wallace, she conceives his child. Robert the Bruce contacts Wallace to set up a meeting, where the Bruce intends to declare his intent to join Wallace and commit troops to the war. However, Roberts father has conspired with the other nobles to set a trap and Wallace is caught. He is beaten until he is unconscious and then handed over to the English. Wallace is taken to London and charged with high treason. He denies the charge, but is found guilty. He is given an opportunity to confess, and told that if he does so, his death will be quick. If he does not confess, he is told he will need to be purified by pain before he is killed. Isabelle visits him in his jail cell and begs him to confess, saying she cant stand the thought of him being tortured. He refuses to confess, and she asks him to take a drug she has brought, which will dull the pain. He refuses, but she begs him and he allows her to pour it into his mouth. They kiss and she leaves. Once she is gone, Wallace spits out the drug. Wallace is sentenced to death and because he didnt confess, he will be hung, drawn and quartered. He is taken to a public square and hung for a few moments. His stomach is cut open and his intestines are taken out. The magistrate again offers Wallace a quick death, this time if he will plead for mercy. The crowd overhears and calls for mercy on his behalf. Even at the end, Wallace will not be broken, and instead of begging for mercy, he cries Freedom! one last time. As he is about to be beheaded, he sees Murron in the crowd, smiling at him. We are told that Robert the Bruce takes control of what is left of the Scottish army and faces the English at Bannockburn. Cheering for Wallace, they defeat the English and win their freedom.

Characters in Brave Heart

*William Wallace
- the main character in brave heart the leader in Scotland. And defeats English to get there freedom.

*Murron- true friend of Wallace. They have strong relationship and then when they grew up there relationship deepens.

*Malcolm Wallace- he is father of Wallace. After he died he taught Wallace the freedom and honor. He also taught Wallace that fighting is are not things that one should seek out.

*Robert the Bruce- he is the king of Scotland.

*Princess Isabelle- the Princess is in an arranged marriage with Prince Edward, she is to be the future Queen of England. She falls in love with William Wallace

*Longhanks- when Willam Wallace begins his revolt against English rule he sends Princess Isabelle to try to make him believe that some sort of peace can be worked out.

*Prince Edward- this "prince" is the heir to the throne of England. He is till the wimpiest future king you can ever fathom. His father sees just how pitiful his son is so he tries to toughen him up a bit before his death.

* William Wallace's Warrior Friend- this is friend of William Wallace. And he has the look of truly warrior.

*William Wallace's Friend- this is another of Willam Wallace's close and most trusted men

Significance Of Brave Heart

For my own opinion The significance of Brave Heart is freedom. In this movie/film the people of Scotland wants freedom because English defeats them once. They show strenght and being a good leader and men, showing a good leadership. Showing to be strong in every fight. It's like life we need to be strong to get rid of it to avoid it and to find solutions.

Teachings of Taoism

Who is Lao Tzu?

Lao Tzu, also known as Lao Tsu, Lao Tse, Lao Zi, Laotze or a number of other ways, is said to have lived in the sixth century BC according to Chinese tradition. However, recent scholars believe this is incorrect place the life of Lao Tzu in the fourth century BC.

Although little is known about the life of Lao Tzu, his cultural significance is important to the lives of generations of Chinese. According to Chinese tradition, Lao Tzu was born in Ku Prefecture of the ChÅ­ state, which today is named Lu yiCounty of the Henan province during the Spring and Autumn Period, roughly between 722 BC and 481 BC. Some legends state he was born with white hair, having spent more than eighty years in his mother's womb, giving him his title Laozi, which means "the old master".


His teachings is very simple, simple as Confucius teachings. His teachings is also Base on his beliefs it is so faithful and religous. I think he is also a good teacher but not good as Confucius do. Maybe it's because Confucius is more intelligent than him. I dont have any idea but that's how I proposed it

Teachings Of Confucianism

So first who is Confucius?

Confucius Also known as Kung Fu Tze better known in the west as confucius. He is a primarily a social philosopher. was born in 551 BCE in the state of Lu modern day Shantung Province. He lived during the Chou Dynasty, an era known for its ethical vigilance. Later in life, he wandered through many states of China, giving suggestions to their rulers. He accumulated a small band of students during this time. The last years of his life were spent back in Lu, where he dedicated himself to teaching.

His writings deal primarily with individual morality and ethics, and the proper exercise of political power by the rulers.



Confucianism's teachings is base on his belief. He taught that people would act in a proper manner the evil in the world would disappear. That is his belief. I think he is a good teacher the way he teach is base on faith and the way his teachings is really good by making people in a good manner. He don't want Evil lives with us. His thoughts centered on the duties of the individual within the society. His students also collected his sayings in a book called "Analects". Base on what I have searched he use his own intelligence, he use his learnings and moral development in his teachings. That's amazing because being a teacher is really hard. He teaching disciples and editing ancient classics, because he is expecting that the disciples would carry on his will and bring his teachings on the later generations. Sacrificial dances and music also offered to Confucius. Confucius says "Man who walk through airport turnstile sideways going to bangkok". I dont know what it really means but I believe that every sayings of him, there is a deep meaning and explanations. That's how amazing Confucius is. A really amazing Teacher and disciple.

Our team members were the first year highschool they really nice because they cooperate well with us. They so responsible and diligent in terms of cooperating and cooking and that was good.

"The advantages and disadvantages of social stratficaton of Egyptian Culture"

There are 5 stratifications of Egyptian Culture:
1. Nobles and wealthy
2. Scribes - writers
3. Artisans - bussiness manager
4. Peasants - workers/employees
5. Slaves -

All of them are very important during the Egyptian Times because all of them are having there own responsibilities and parts.

Nobles and wealthy family they are sometimes the land owner or priests. Taxes from these land were paid to the government in the forms of crops and cattle

Scribes he is the most important part of these time because he is the writer he is responsible for the writings and also scrolls. And he was treated very respectfully. He never lacked foods.

Artisans is also important because they are the bussiness manager they are responsible for some works and duties and also in management.

Peasants are the art of the big population during that time sometimes they worked in the field planting ag digging some crops. Sometimes they are also the servant in homes of wealthy nobles. They also having a big part in working in governtment projects.

Slaves even though they are the lowest they are also part of the community they are the big help of the people they are also farmers and workers. Ther also building pyramids and big projects.

All of them are big help during that times.

But sometimes because of there positions they argued because some of them want to have a higher position in the community.

"Tell me who your friends are and I will tell who you are"

Being friends with good and nice friends is totally showing who is the real you. Because if your having a bad friends it means you are too bad because you're not choosing a good friends for you. I have a lot of friends they are really nice to me, they so loyal and honest. They are my treasures and gifts from God. The qoutation "Tell me who your friends are and I will tell who you are" is all about attitude and friends. Like what many people said choosing a right friends is very important because your also choosing a right way or path for you to go with. For me friends gives us the courage to lift the blinds on our heart to open up and to show what we generally keep hidden from the rest of the world.

He teach us very well, he can speak well in English, he can speak with fluent. He is so nice he is not strict as well. He said he want us to enjoy our studies, that's why he's not strict. More about Sir. Noel is, he is a mountaineer that time I whispered I said Oh my Gosh, Why? It's because I never encountered a Teacher that a mountaineer too. It's so cool! I have nothing to say and nothing to wish. For me he is perfect. The only thing that I expect is If we can speak in Tagalog when we were outside of our room it's alright when we were in classroom but for me it's so hard to tell your feelings or to tell what you want to say because it so hard to speak in English. That's nosebleed. But it's Alright because it's part of our studies. But sometimes I wish we can also speak in Tagalog. "

Memorable Field Trip

" Year 2009-2010 is my best Field trip ever for me. Because it's my second time to go in Carnival like Enchanted Kingdom . All of the students really enjoys there field trip. We bought souvenirs and foods. We go in different rides. And the worst ride for me is the small roller coaster even though it's small it feels so scared it's so fast and you feel you will fall down. I'm very nervous that time. We were taking pictures, playing in arcades and I won a stuffed toy and of course we bought some souvenirs. And the best ride that we chose to go is the Rio Grande it's really fun. You will ride in a big salbabida then the water will splash to you that's why that time some of my classmates are wet most especially Jemima. That's really funny we enjoy that last ride. And in the end of our field trip we bought some food for our families. "
