Look who showed up for another "song" Wednesday! If you haven't guessed by the title of the song, today's song is "Human," by The Killers. Regardless of their band name, I think their music is quite harmless, and enjoyable to listen to. (If you want other suggestions by them: Mr. Brightside, Somebody Told Me, and When You Were Young.)
I can't say that the rest of the blog will be about that song though. Sorry, if this is disappointing to you.
This blog is actually about an assignment I received today. (No, I promise it isn't boring.) In class we read "Seven Ages of Man." It's by a rather good poet you might now, ole' Shakespeare, and from the play As You Like It. The monologue (as Wikipedia described it [I was checking to make sure this information is correct]) describes life in seven parts. Infancy, childhood, the lover, the soldier, the justice, old age, and mental dementia and death; or, infant, schoolboy, lover, soldier, justice, pantaloon, and second childhood.
It was a quite interesting read. I won't copy and paste it here, but if you are curious, I will link it.
So then my teacher (a lovely lady!) preceded to show us a comic that was based off this poem. I would quite like to show you it, but alas, I could not find it on the internet. The comic had seven boxes, each with a different drink the man would have drunk in that part of his life. For example, the schoolboy drank apple juice, the soldier had ale, and the second childhood section had prune juice.
Our assignment was to do something similar to this comic. The Seven ____ of Man/Woman. So we could draw, or find pictures on the internet for this task. I have decided on a couple different ideas. Either books, magazines, or music songs for mine. The Seven Magazines of Woman was my first idea. Not quite sure what I would use for the infant though. The Lover spot could be Cosmopolitan though, and then the "Soldier" could be Home and Gardening, ect. There are many options of magazines. Also, books, would have many more topics. Music songs might be difficult or easy, I haven't decided. Either way, it's nice to use my brain in a creative way for my homework.
Question: How would you fill in the blank to my assignment? And what would you put for the different ages?
:-),
