Hamlet - Response Journal
Response Journal for Act 1, scene 1 to Act 1, scene 5
1. How does the play make you feel at this point? Record your emotional response(s) in a few sentences and then explore them for a few minutes, trying to figure out why you feel as you do.
I feel that the feeling of the characters are getting stronger and stronger. It is quite dramatic. I feel that i did not get into much of the writer's way of presenting the story. For me, the words Shakespeare chose to use was nice but it was also quite complicated. The story is interesting. Only first scene, makes me want to know the ending.
2. In what situations have you felt similar to the characters? What persons, places, or ideas from your own experiences came to your mind while you were reading this portion of the play? Try to list at least three associations, but don't worry about trying to figure out why they came to mind. Just accept that they occur.
A. Similar to Hamlet, he has his best friend and when they went out following the ghost, Horatio was stopping him. Hamlet did not listen and he became angry with his friend. It was like me and my brother. We are twin so we did everything together. Sometimes i became angry at my brother but i could find other ways out.
B. Similar to Horatio, when we have best friend, we care for them and we do not want them to be in trouble or get hurt. I like to warn my friend and be their listener. When my friend wants to be relieve, they just release everything out. It was similar to Horatio trying to help Hamlet.
C. Similar to Laertes and Ophelia, me and my brother. I am like Laertes, i warn my brother to don't really have a girlfriend now because he is still young. I sometimes give him advice too especially when he asks for my help.

3. What portions of Shakespeare's language attracts your attention? These might be individual words, phrases, lines, scenes, or images. Make note of whatever features draw your attention. Speculate for a few minutes about what you think they might mean.
He use variety of words like 'tis, nay, and more. We will not see these words in today story books. These words are also the ones that caught attentions. These words are uncommon and it makes me want to stop to make it clear.
4. Make note of any portion of the play, its language, or events that cause you problems. Note any questions that you might ask.
Shakespeare language is not like others. His language is different from today language and it is harder to understand. For me, english is not my first language so i think it is harder too. Problem that i might face in the play is the understanding part.

Spectator Sport: Huahin Beach
I walk along the beach. I look as far as my sight could reach. I see the sun slowly rises with a bright light that I could just glimpse for its beauty. Pacific tides in the morning are really low that there are spaces to walk. I enjoy walking along the beach with mirth because I can just free myself from everything. There is no need for me to put any thought or burden when I am out there. This place lacked strident noises. I love the docile wind that blows around me. I love my hair that flows by the wind. I stretch out my hands and feel how the wind gently embraces around me. What a wonderful morning!
Sunny afternoon on the beach is what never pleasant me. I do not like to be under the sun that feels like burning me. Sometimes it is so hot that I seem like being roasted on a stove.
When sunset came, the sky turns to orange red saying good bye to the sun. It is slowly went down like when it rises. The sun moves in circle like a merry-go-round. The sky turns to purple and darker as it gets into night. The wind becomes stronger and colder like pressing an air conditioner to a lower temperature. I love the wind like I have said. At least it is with me when I am alone. It surrounds me like there is another person beside me. I look up to the sky and see the moon that gives off light instead of the sun. It shines in the dark like saying even though you are in the dark and could hardly find the path to continue, there will be a light that will always guide you. Tides during night time come up so much that a little area is left to occupy. The sand I step on is very smooth and I can just take off my slipper and walk with bear feet. The sand which is near to the edge of the water is softer than where I stand before. When I step on the sand, it just sinks and creates a hole. I see how the water and sand react to that hole. I swing my foot in the water feeling satiated and how comfortable it makes. I walk back following the moonlight, saying good night to all.
