Lately I have been finding a bunch or new music, whether it is from you tube, hearing it on the radio, in a grocery store or from my friends sending me a new playlist or song and saying " hey I thought you might like this song" or " I thought of you when i heard this".  It doesn't matter on how you find the song or album , music will always find a way to bring light and joy into your life and it makes the song even more special if someone you care about sent it to you saying this made me think of you. If you are ever having a bad day or even a good day music will always be there to make you feel better in any situation. Music has helped a lot of people get through hard times going on in there life and it has also helped a lot of people get through life one day at a time and stay here a little longer. Music is just really powerful and every time I find a new song or artist my heart grows a little more. 

       In Hamlet there is a very famous speech called " to be or not to be" in which Hamlet talks about whether or not he should live or die and it is also sort of a rant about how man doesn't live up to their full potential. I had to memorize this speech in my AP literature class and the reason why i chose this speech is because i felt like i related to it in a way because I do believe that humans never live up to their full potential. I can also relate to Hamlet in wanting to die most days but I guess that is just a teenager in high school kinda thing lol. This speech was written beautifully and since it is Shakespeare it makes the reader think and look deeper into the meaning of it, such as most people will only understand it as hamlet wanting to kill himself but if you look deeper into it you will see hamlet wanting man to live up to their full potential and makes things happen and not always taking the easy way out. For example...

          Hamlet is a very unique character he is made out to be a very depressed and suicidal kid because his father was murdered and his mother married his uncle. In the beginning of the play he goes on about how he wishes he could kill himself and how he despises God for making suicide a sin. Hamlet even has a whole speech based on whether or not he should die or not called "to be or not to be".  Everything in his life is falling apart and the only way out Hamlet sees is to die. The reason I believe Hamlet never killed himself was because he wanted to get revenge for his father for whom his uncle poisoned. Towards the end of the play Hamlet becomes less focused on wanting to die and more focused on getting revenge and finding a way to kill his uncle for his father. He becomes more manipulative and evil in the things he does, for example when he confronts Ophelia and breaks her heart she ends up going crazy. Also when he...

    I have watched the office multiple times but I always dread reaching the ending of the show. The main character Michael Scott ends up leaving the show in season 7 out of 9 seasons and they don't bring him back until the last 5 minutes of the series final. This causes a lot of anger and disappointment in the fans because in the last episode a character Dwight ends up getting married and he has always considered Michael as his best friend and I wish the producers brought Michael back sooner and gave him more lines since he was such a big part of the show for so long. It would of brought more emotion and happiness into the show and made the ending much better with bringing the original cast together again. When Michael was in the show so for the first 7 seasons it was funnier and more enjoyable since Michael brought so much comic and humor into it with his personality and him as a person.

      I believe the Hamlet ending was irrelevant because Shakespeare spend this whole time building up the ending and developing these characters just to kill them off . He creates this 4 hour long play and just wants everyone to die, it was pretty disappointing to what Shakespeare makes it out to be. Instead of killing everyone off I believe he should of kept Hamlet alive because it would of thrown the readers off since they were expecting him to die the entire time it would cause a bigger suspense and plot twist in the play.  Shakespeare may always kill everyone off in every play he wrote but in Hamlet I believe it was unnecessary to kill Hamlet, Claudius and Ophelia should of died because it fit into the entire plot of the play.  For example Ophelia was crazy and depressed so it was just a matter of time before she killed herself and with Claudius since he killed his brother for royalty and for a wife it was karma just waiting to happen. With Hamlet since he...
