A Lopez’s Online Journal

Help me! Get revenge on my stupidly pathetic daughters. Blow harder winds and thunder louder to make me deaf! Blow so hard your cheeks pop and crack! Make sure you destroy the mountain and aim at my white baling head! Destroy everything ahead of you with your electric machine. Rip away trees and roofs , destroy me and my daughters with your burning fires aiming straight to heads and hearts. Please fire at my white head and get me rid of all this troublesome. I’ll be so glad, I wouldn’t worry or feel regret. It’ll be so peaceful! Let my soul free of this heavy body with paining regrets that feel like pins and needles in my throat . Make my daughters regret what they’ve done to their father! Make your clouds go grey and let it spill all over the city flooding houses and destroying park. Until no one is left , just peace for ever. Let me my daughters and their ridiculous husbands die. Leaving no owners of the land! Then slowly suck up to the sky the rest of the people leaving the city as a completely deserted piece of land. Use your huricanoes and rains smash houses together, destroy cars and rip trees of their roots. Use your devastating storms and burning thunders to make my wish come true! Listen to me , although you don’t owe me anything.  Just rip , , crack , smash and ultimately destroy this useless piece of land and the people inside it. Use your natural army of executing fires and transparent bullets to vanish the land and the people in it! Use your precise aim to singe my white bold head and just with a shock vanish me from everyone’s minds and lives. Look! All this land that is now in hands of non-thinking people who take advantage of naturally made things! Destroy them and along with them me and my people! Shoot!

Dear Cordelia,

I am writing to you to apologize for my stupid reaction of banishing you , my dear daughter. I have been such a fool as now I realize that Regan and Goneril were being very deceitful and unloyal right in front of me ! The worst thing is that they have overthrown me. I am really regretful to not have realize how honest you were and how loyal even though you said ‘nothing.’ Now I understand that you were showing your love by your actions and that you were not lying to me at all and you was being honest in front of me unlike your sisters . It is ridiculous what they are now deciding to do to me because I feel like rubbish and like no one. This is because it is really offending me. You don’t even understand how much I wish I had realized this and I had given the land to you.

There is a  reason why I did actually banish you and I hope you understand this. The reason for this was that you disrespected me infront of lots of people by standing there and saying nothing. Also you didn’t listen to me when I said make a better speech than your sisters. This means that you have not met the expectations of a perfect wife. These were all the reasons for my action to banish you all the way to France which I really regret now as I have explained earlier in this apology letter.

I have literally felt so regretful for my overall desicion that I even went walking all around the land. Also I walked up the cliffs looked at the rivers and every thing else and it reminded me of the speeches of both of them. I really felt like going back in time and chosen you as the owner of the whole of the land because I also really don’t like their husband’s. This made me walk around their houses and I Ben tried to meet up with them and speaking to them about how they can’t overpower me but they  ignored me totally.

What I am feeling about Goneril and Cordelia is just complete hate towards them since they overthrew and literally rubbed me out of their lives . Like I was no one to them just a random person. I feel regret all the way back to when they were actually born as it really upsets me as what position they have put me in and how they treat me. All I can think of right now is them and how they are actually not caring about me and leaving me out and making their husbands more important than their own father! I just can’t stop my head from going on and on about this issue, this situation that I have been put in by my own daughters! So as you know I am very regretful for not choosing you instead of your unloyal sisters.

In the end all I feel is guilty and I feel like this was the biggest mistake in my life and all I feel is bad things in my stomach I feel not butterfly’s but bricks. I am also feeling disgusted with my self and with Regan and Cordelia and how they abandoned me completely. The biggest feeling inside me is regret, regret for choosing them and regret for banishing you to France. Also I feel regret for lots of things I’ve done. Mostly regret for this and for giving the land to your ridiculous sisters.

I hope you take some of your time to read this letter and also come back to England and if not at least respond to me. Also I really miss you and I think that you should have just made a speech like I really love you.

Yours faithfully,

King Lear your own dad.

King Lear

“So let’s see who shall get the land.” The king gets a map and explains what and how much land they will be dividing. “We shall be fair on who loves me and their price. Goneril you shall now speak.”

Goneril

The king proudly walked into the main room with his royal red jacket , his golden crown and his navy blue expensive trousers. He was impressed  as he was staring at his three daughters as they were for the first time in a very long time wearing pink dresses each one different from the other. “Today we are here to see who will win the most land, the least land and the one in the middle , who loves me the most?”said the king looking at the crowd. The crowd aplaused and then he turnt back to his daughters who were waiting to start. “Who wants to start?” He asked. “Me.” Replied Goneril not looking nervous at all then the king approved and here’s what she said: I love you, you are more precious than anything to me I wouldn’t change you for anything or anyone in the world. I can’t even find the right words to explain my true dear love towards you as it’s infinite.  Not even the universe is bigger than my love towards you, my love is one million times one million times bigger than the earth. “ Thank you Goneril” The king replied then said that Regan was next ” Dad,  I love you so much that I get lost in the love towards you not even the human brain can think of something to show this as it is far too difficult for me for you or for anyone else to think of. It is a love that can’t be given to anyone else but you” She said. “ Thank you Regan ” he said, now with tears dropping from his eyes,  he turnt round and wiped them then said: Cordelia speak ” Nothing ” she said.  The crowd gasped bringing their hands to cover the mouths everyone staring up at Cordelia and the king said “How!  Cordelia! ” “You can’t make me bring my heart into my mouth for you , I don’t like to exaggerate my love towards you just like my sisters did and I love you like a daughter will love their dad for bringing them up and doing anyithing for them. ” she interrupted.  Everyone in the room had shocked faces even her sisters.  ” I understand, however you don’t love me the most so you get the least land” Everything went silent and Cordelia burst out the room crying like mad then the king said “ It is a tough decision but I have decided that the winner for the most land is Goneril! The audience started clapping and cheering as the king’s guards brought some champagne for the two daughters and the king and then the party started, all the audience got of their chairs and cleared the way for the food to come in with big cakes and even chocolate fountains along with some ice statues of the three daughters and the king. Cordelia missed a great evening party so the king took pictures and pu some cake and stuff in a bag to give to her the next day with also the small part of the land.

William Shakespeare was born in the Shakespeare family house in Henley Street, Stratford-Upon-Avon, England. His actual date of birth cannot be known as at this time in England birth certificates were not produced, however his birth date can be guessed due to high mortality rate of infants. It is believed that he was born on the same day that he died. Shakespeare had two daughters and one son. The daughter’s names were Judith Quiney and Susanna Hall. His sons name was Hamnet Shakespeare who unfortunately died quite early being 11. He also had two grandsons and one granddaughter. His granddaughter was named Elizabeth Barnard and his two grandsons were named Thomas Quieny and Richard Quiney.

Little is known about Shakespeare’s early life. His father was a tradesman who became an alderman and bailiff, and Shakespeare was baptized in Stratford-upon-Avon on April 26, 1564. Sometime after the birth of his own children, Shakespeare set off for London to become an actor and by 1592 was well known and was quite famous in London’s theatrical world as an actor and playwright. His earliest plays, including The Comedy of Errors and The Taming of the Shrew, were written in the early 1590s. Later in the decade, he wrote tragedies like Romeo and Juliet (1594-1595) and comedies including The Merchant of Venice (1596-1597). His greatest tragedies were written after 1600, including Hamlet (1600-01), Othello (1604-05), King Lear (1605-06), and Macbeth (1605-1606).

As William Shakespeare is regarded as one of the greatest writers in the English language it doesn’t surprise me that all the things he wrote and acted are very popular reading materials around the globe. Much of his work is used in schools as part of the curriculum as learning as there are many text books explaining his work in modern English. Also lots of his amazing work has been turned into films even children’s films such as the lion king which is based on Hamlet.

Everyone in the stadium: Man U are the best let anyone come we’ll win by far!!!

I will be doing my essay based on the play of King Lear. As you may know its about three sisters getting land as a reward of their love towards him. The sisters exaggerate their love in the fight for the most land. They use very effective sentences to explain their love.

This paragraph is going to be about Goneril and her love towards King Lear. Also how Shakespeare uses good  phrases to exaggerate her love and how she just says all of these lies to get the land. Otherwise she would definitely not say she loves him the most. To show her fake love he uses  quotes such as “dearer than eyesight space and liberty” , Shakespeare uses this triplet to show how false Goneril is and how she can just manipulate her father really easily. this shows that she is quite smart and that her father expects them to manipulate him or he is just not really smart. Also Goneril is answered by King Lear that she will be awarded with rivers and grass and rocks and mountains which means she has basically won  as she has been awarded and then Regan speaks.

In my opinion Regan just as her sister really exaggerates her love and is a liar with her own father and is also a little manipulative not as much as her sister though. To show this she uses quotes like ” Only she comes too short ” And this is fake as you can not really say that your love comes too short as you either love someone or you don not love someone. Also she says “Of the self-same metal as my sister is ” so that should mean that she should love him the same as her sisters do but then she goes on to other things that mean that she loves him more than her sisters so this is why I say that she is a liar and exaggerates her love. She says that her loves comes too short but it is all stuck inside her however Shakespeare makes it so exaggerating that shows that she is a really  exaggerating person which is really true.

Cordelia is very honest and truthful as she does not exaggerate her love. Her sisters do she is truthful and says “I love you according to my bond nor more nor less” which shows that she doesn’t exaggerate about her love for land.  When her sisters are speaking she is thinking of loving and being silent which means that she wants to show her love by action not by words so she speaks ” Nothing” When she was asked to speak she said that but then her dad tells her to amend he speech a little so she says that she can not heave her heart into her mouth. This is also a bit disrespectful as he is her father but she says that she thanks him a lot for giving her a future and helping her at all times and she says she rewards him by loving him. So in my opinion Cordelia should win the most land as she is the honest one.

I think King Lear is a bit exaggerating as well and also sarcastic as he believes the other two daughters by how they exaggerate their love so this shows that he expects his daughters to exaggerate as they want the land which is quite weird as if I was their father I would expect them to be truthful just like Cordelia was so I would give the land to Cordelia. to show this King Lear says “How , how ,Cordelia ” As he is surprised by honesty which Shakespeare show by him saying this and he is really false and manipulative just like his two daughters. He is really sarcastic also as he expects them to lie .

In conclusion i think that King Lear is false so are Regan and Goneril and that the one that should win all the land is Cordelia as she is the only one that was honest so i like her as in my opinion she is the best of all. She is really respectful as she doesn’t lie right in front of her own dads face. Which shows that she is respectful and doesn’t lie for land

I am writing a book review con an amazing book called Silver Donkey.I think its good because it might inspire blind people to not give up, the reason im saying this is because the main character is blind.

First of al the main character is blind but he sees white instead of black.He believes this is because of a silver donkey he found in the woods one day. He is very poor and one day he moved his hands and felt the silver donkey.He was amazed.

The next day a boy comes round to the woods and sees him laying down with the donkey in his hand. The boy asks “Whats that?”The poor man answers that its his luck, his friend,his silver donkey. The boy and the man make friends and after that the boy brings him food everyday.

Weeks went and the man told the boy what the silver donkey did and that he used to be a soldier at war. The boy was amazed by the story. He thought it was awesome…
