Andrew Brooks Scribe.

Sorry I posted this late everyone! It totally slipped my mind with youthgroup and all, but here are the notes from Wednesday, Janurary 14.

We began class by turning in our summary/ responses, and ate some great donuts.  Then we moved on and gathered around the board and shared one thing we took out of the Last Lecture. After that, we began our lesson on hell.  First, we split into two groups and ranked the 7 sins and the 9 circles of hell.  After Mrs. Smith corrected us, we began Dante’s Inferno. (www.foxtwin.com/inferno)

First, we start in a dark wood of error where we mean three beasts. The she-wolf (incontence), Lion (violence), and the Leopard (Malice and Fraud). Then we meet Virgil, who guides Dante.

Next is the Vestibule which is just outside of hell. The opportunists live here (people who lived for themselves.)

The First layer of hell is the Limbo, for the virtuous pagans.

The Second layer of hell is for the Lustful. On this layer is where you meet minos.  A man with a dragon like tail.  Minos wraps his tail around his body and that is what chooses how many layers you must descend.

This is where we stopped for the day.

Dillon Scala English Literature 4th Hour Scribe 01/16/2015 Justine brought donuts! Ms. Smith passed back our Last Lecture Summary Responses Picked up from where we left off on Dante’s Inferno The link for the website that had all of the explanations and graphics of the levels of hell is: http://foxtwin.com/inferno/ We left off on level three of Hell. Notes on the Levels of Hell Level 3: Gluttonous This level is made up of garbage and filth. This is for all of the people who took god’s gift of food and life and they only produced garbage in return instead of making something great from it. Their punishment is to live in filth and garbage for eternity. Level 4: Hoarders and Wasters Those who amassed wealth and only kept it to themselves and put it to use for their own benefit are punished by having to push boulders again and again for eternity. Level 5: The Styx (The wrathful) The entirety of this level is made up of a river of slime and filth where on the surface the wrathful are trapped and forced to fights each other. In the depths of the river lie the sullen. Those who shut out the light in their life. Level 6: City of Dis “The Heretics” This is the capital of hell. It is a distorted version of its counterpart in the world: heaven. It is the divide of lower hell and upper hell. The outside of the city is made of flames and once crossing into it, angel change from beautiful to hideous. Level 7: The Violent. This level is divided up into different rings that each represent the different kind of violence. These include violence towards neighbors, self, and god, art, and nature. Level 8: The Fraudulent. It is divided into 10 different rings which include the following (in order of less to most extreme): Panderers and Seducers, Flatterers, Simoniacs, Fortune Tellers, Grafters, Hypocrites, Thieves, Evil Counselors, Sowers of Discord, and Falsifiers. Level 9: Cocytus-Treachery Lowest level of hell, the rings are designed as a cocytus. This means its like a funnel, and at the bottom of the funnel is the Devil who is buried and frozen solid. The funnel is that all of the evil is flowed down into the Devil. Cocytus is a frozen wasteland devoid of love and emotion. Whenever someone cries at this level their tear freeze, sealing their eyes shut. The different levels are arranged by the different types of treachery: First Ring: Treachery to Kin (Called CAINA) which is derived from Cain who betrayed his brother Abel. Beings at this level are buried just below their necks. Second Ring: Treachery to Country (Called Antendra) named after him because he betrayed the Trojans by giving his city to the Greeks. Beings at this level are buried just to their necks. Third Ring: Treachery to Guests (called Ptolomena) Fourth Ring: Treacher to Masters (called Judecca) named after Judas which represents the ultimate betrayal of a master, when he betrayed Jesus who was divine. when is the summary response due for the hell unit After finishing the notes on the levels of hell we listened to “Sympathy for the Devil” by the Rolling Stones We received a copy of the lyrics of the song, if needed here is a link: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/rollingstones/sympathyforthedevil.html She told us to listen to what how the different interpretations of hell and the devil relate. “What themes and ideas do they share?” After listening to the song we broke down the meaning of it and came up with this interpretation: Ben said that the song talks about how the “sympathy” for the devil comes from the fact that the devil is blamed for things that were the result of human action. The song is sung in the the first and second person. The first person lyrics are as if Mick Jagger were singing as the devil (saying “I” and “me”). The second person lyrics (saying “you”) are if the speaker is speaking to all humans. All the examples that he talks about like the killing of the Kennedy’s and the death of Jesus were the results of human action. Class ended after this and Ms. Smith told us that we will pick up from where we left off on “Sympathy for the Devil” and also listen to more songs next Wednesday. Our homework is to continue on part 1 of our last lecture as well as to anticipate a summary response due at the end of our Hell unit.

Due 02/01/2015 The theme of this semester will be these questions: To what extent does a creator have responsibility for its creation? When does the creation assume responsibility for its own actions? These units will be pieces of literature that all have to do with this central question. Hell unit: Dante's Divine Comedy, Bible, Milton Shelley's Frankenstein: We will read in class Wilde: Picture of Dorian Gray Stranger Than Fiction: movie Huxley’s Brave New World: about a dystopian society in 1931 All got together in the middle to talk about the best parts and lessons learned in English Literature last semester, we each wrote down a personal goal for this semester, and then we wrote goals for the semester as a class:

Summary Response: Randy Pausch Due Wednesday 01/14/2015 Summary: focus on the big ideas Response: Reaction to it: Agree or Disagree? What did it make you think about? Is it relevant or irrelevant? What did it mean to you? etc. About Randy Pausch: Died about 12 years ago. Got diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer, this lecture at Carnegie Mellon University was almost literally his last lecture, his last chance to say what he wanted to say about his life. We took notes on the talk.
