ReplyDeleteInvictus
“My head is bloody, but unbowed”. Nelson Mandalia showed bravery to citiziens and now repeating it through a poem.
Invictus catches eyes as a powerful poem. The words of Mandela “Beyond this place of wrath and tears”, and “ I have not wince nor cried aloud” show immense emotion and power. Also from descriptive standpoint, Invictus has majestic figurative language. As an example, “Looms but the horror of the shade” presents figurative language. Meaning outside is worse than where I am now.
Although Invictus was sad, the poem had a mindful lesson behind it. Strong through emotions, the moral behind Invictus was if you have difficulty go after what you reflect and fight through it all. “My head is bloody, but unbowed” creates the lesson.
Courage of Nelson Mandalia showed through also in the poem. Not only was there a line like “I am the master of my fate”, but each row and significance showed courage. From power, to mindful lessons, and courage Invictus was a incredible poem.

ReplyDeleteCharacter Sketch
“The Pilgrim Pope”
“Violence and arm can never resolve the problems of men” –Pope John Paul ll
As the holy man dressed in white robes, a gold hat, and brown shoes walks down the streets, he stares everyone in the eye while saying,” You are men. You have dignity. Don’t roll on your bellies.” They are in the Communist county of Poland; however, these people need food, money, and shelter. Who is this man? Brave enough to tell these people this. His name is Pope John Paul ll; acclaimed as one of the most influential leaders of the 20th century.
Born Karol Jozef Wojtyla, Pope John Paul ll faced hardships in life because his mother died when he was only nine. Despite this tragedy, Karol still had a decent life. He went to school like a normal child, and he went to collage named Jagiellbian University in Krakof, Poland. Soon, World War ll started and the Nazis invaded his home country, Poland. Before Karol knew it, his father died from a heart attack, making him the sole surviving member of his family. “At age 20, I had already lost all of the people I loved.” Appropriately, Karol was feeling sad and lonely. Eventually, Karol started studying to become a priest. He was promoted rapidly in the Church. Following the death of Pope John Paul l, head of the Roman Catholic Church, Karol was a candidate for becoming the next pope. Logically he would win, and he did. He took the name Pope John Paul ll, and would become a great leader and pope.
Logically, Pope John Paul ll was hard working. For example, he visited 129 countries during his time as pope, making him one of the most traveled leaders in history. Another reason Pope John Paul ll is hard working is because he improved the Catholic Churches relationships tremendously with other religions. To help him articulate with different people, he learned 13 different languages.
Acceptably, Pope John Paul ll was determined. For instance, he helped stop Communism in Poland, and eventually, all of Europe. Also, he was shot in Saint Peters Square. Did that stop him? No! He went to the person that shot him and said, “ I forgive you.”
Generosity was a unique quality that showed up the most on Pope John Paul ll. Giving up your life and chance to get married is one thing, but giving that to God, is generosity from the start. On top of that, Pope John Paul ll took time to encourage the Polish people to follow Christ in belief.
Knowing all the dedication, and hard work that Pope John Paul ll has done, it is reasonably said that the Roman Catholic Church has started to look at what he has done to see if he maybe can become a saint.
To conclude, Pope John Paul ll is a man of hard work, generosity, and is very determined. He has change the way people look at Catholicism and is certainly a leader to remember. When Poland’s communism comes to an end, Pope John Paul ll feels good about it. Not just because thousands of people got saved, but because he had helped. Because, “Violence and arm can never resolve the problems of men.”

ReplyDeleteHow do you like it, this is what I have for Invictus so far, please comment?
ReplyDeleteI am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. The beauty of the poem Invictus is that the reader controls what he thinks of it. Different readers can and will have very different perspectives of this poem. I believe that it likely means that everyone and anyone should do what they believe, no matter how mistreated, or whatever predicament you might be in. It clearly states, “I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul”, and obviously this is saying that anyone can do whatever they want to do with their life, and no one else can stop them. As this poem as different perspectives, many people have used it in many different ways, for good and for evil. How will our generation use it?
