Twelfth Night quotes. ( Act II)

Viola: " I am the man." (II.ii.25)
This quote is said while Viola was talking about the ring with Malvolio. She is shocked about how madly in love Olivia is to her. At the same time, she is insulting her saying that Olivia has gone crazy, as if "her eyes have lost her tongue." The quote is ironic because she is not a man, and she has allowed Olivia to fall for the disguise.

Malvolio: "...and yet to crush it a little, it would bow to me..." (II.v.143-145)
The note has tricked Malvolio thinking Olivia loves him. In the note contains the abbreviation M.O.A.I. He is saying that if he arranges it a little, it will spell out the order of his name. That is the "crushing" in this sense. "It will bow to me" means that it will be pertaining to him (Olivia's love).

Viola: "Then think you right. I am not what I am."
Olivia: "I would you were as I would have you be." (III.i.148-9)
Olivia wants viola to be how she envisions her. Viola is denying that she is not what Olivia thinks she is. Instead, she is the total opposite! Therefore, Olivia asks her to change and be how she wants "him" to be, so that they can both love each other.

Inkshedding Act II (edit)

Fortune forbid my outside have not charmed her! She made good view of me, indeed so much that methought her eyes had lost her tongue!
(2.2, pg.53)

This quote by Viola is saying that she was surprised that Olivia has fallen in love with Cesario, Viola's male disguise. Originally, Viola's task was to give Olivia a ring and make her fall in love with Orsino. Instead, Olivia doesn't accept the ring because she is attracted to Cesario. Not only is she attracted, but she is in such awe that she is at a loss of words. This has created a love triangle as well as confusion.

writing about ipods...

For me, writing the paper Small Object, Large Subject was not a hard essay to write. Because the topic I chose was something I can relate to, I was able to go on and on easily. It was a flowing process, mainly due to an interesting subject. If I were told to write a paper on the history of John Adams, I would probably sleep after the first word. The head start in class really helped me develop the essay because it gave me the structure and main points. All that was left to do was to expand. There was so much to write about ipods. But, the only hard part for me, like always, was the introduction. I didn't quite know if I should start off more general or to go right into detail. Thoughts were too crowded in my brain, until i finally landed the first line. Then from there, it was smooth sailing.

E-waste. Worse than waste?

With the skyrocket of consumer purchase of electronics and the quick production of new technologies, this world will soon be filled with its remains. The article, "High Tech Trash" by National Geographic talks about the problem with the technology waste in the world. Carroll states that in the future, all of these computers, televisions and etc will be dumped out, creating a new waste called e-waste. Why is this bad? Not only does it look unattractive to have mountains of machines, but these machines can be broken down and chemicals can be extracted. The article focuses on Ghana, a poor third world country, where people melt machines from lumps of dispose, take parts from it, and sell it for just a dollar. Another problem with this is that these wastes are not properly handled with. Chemicals such as lead, cadmium and neurotoxin are contained. Without proper care, these chemicals are laying freely around the Earth. This worldwide pollution is a serious matter. Another efficient way to carefully dispose these materials must be found. If not, our planet will turn into solid metal.
