I haven't had any problems with the archetypes, I understand them and enjoy them and finding matching people to their archetype. I understand that there are 12 archetypes and they are innocent, orphan, warrior, caregiver, seeker, lover, destroyer, creator, ruler, magician, sage, and jester. as humans we all have these characteristics for example when I think of innocent I think of a child. Orphan it reminds me of someone who depends on someone for help this could be wife. warrior could be a solider, marine, boxer or a swimmer. caregiver is our parents, family or older. seeker can be an explorer who travels the open sea, in search for land like Christopher Columbus. lover could be a couple just married in love. destroyer could be someone who lost a very close family member and is trying to let go. creator could be a scientist. Ruler could be a queen or king or the president. magician could be someone who is a psychologist who helps you heal. sage could be a professor, teacher, preacher or minster. last the jester could be clown.

I have to write a blog entry for what I have learned so far, well I learned a lot and didn't expect to have such a loving and caring professor who is determined to teach his students. I have learned that things may look hard at first but it’s up to you to make it easy. On the first day of class we did an essay with a poem which was called "original sin" by Robert Warren. We were also given other poem like "Orchard-Pit" and "Goblin market". We also learned how to analyze poetry by looking out for symbolism, annotation, connotation, denotations, shadows, archetypes, and metaphors. We also read little mouse and had a mid-term on it, I enjoyed it. I also read the book coralline and enjoyed it but didn't like it because I won't want me parents to be taken away from me.

"Thou shall not eat of it"

            Gabriel Rossetti was born in London, May 12th 1828, He was born the son, whose father was  an Italian patriot and a political refugee, his mother was born and raised in England. Seeing that he grew up in both cultures he spoke  fluently in both languages. The environment he grew up in was a very cultural and political. From the year 1836 to 1841, he attended King’s College Academy. He studied drawing in a Royal College in 1845. He later persuaded it and made friend with William Hollman and John Everrel Millais, they all became very close friends. When he painted he took his inspiration from Shakespeare, Geethe, Sir Walter Scott, Byron, Edger Allan Poe and later in 1847 William Blake. In 1860 Rossetti Married Elizabeth Diddal, she was also a writer and painter when they met  ten years ago. But at this time she was an invalid, she carried his child for nine months, the baby was still born and she died of a laudanum overdose. Laudanum is an alcoholic solution containing morphine, prepared from opium and formerly used as a narcotic painkiller. In 1869 he wrote the Orchard-pit a little after his wife died, He then went into a deep depression and had a lot of guilt towards the situation. He eventually was brought to Scotland where he tried taking his own life. Eventually he recovered, but was never the same. In the year 1882 Sir Dante Gabriel Rossetti died on April the 9th (1882-04-09)  in Birching ton-on-sea, Kent, England.
 

         

       “The Orchard-Pit” describes the biblical imagery around the story of the Garden of Eden with Adam

 and Eve. The concept behind Adam and Eve was the female mate  who was deceived by the devil in the

 form of a serpent, which convinced her to eat from the tree of good and evil, making her mate eat of the

fruit too. The orchard-pit has a strong symbolic reference for Rossetti’s life because the

orchard and the pit mean new beginnings and with that came new fruit to new season, while the other shows

 death. This title is very strongly worded because Rossetti’s wife got pregnant for him but in the process of

birth the child was still born and his wife died of a Laudanum overdose. The speaker is trying to explain

love can turn something so delightfully, peaceful and very harmonious can  also turn into something so gut

wrenching and depressing in a matter of seconds. I believe that in these two lines explain his life with his

wife, and how he fell in love with her, but she eventually dies giving birth. “Piled deep below the screening

apple-branch, they lie with bitter apples in their hands”(1-2) first stanza. I believe that the bitter apple could

symbolize the death the baby in real life. Even if I can't prove that  I know symbolism goes a long

 way. when Adam and Eve ate from the tree the fruit symbolized was an apple. I think that the apple

symbolized the soon death that would come upon them in the  near future. I think that the apple is in some

 comparison with Rossetti's unborn child because as similar as the apple symbolizes death, his child was still

born and after death came upon his wife, soon behold in the end Rossetti tries to take his only but fails. But he eventually dies from kidney failure in Kent, England with a broken heart.
 

                In Rossetti’s life it shows how he fell in love with his wife, they made love through sex. “This in

my dreams is shown me; and her hair crosses my lips and draws my burning breath, her song spreads golden

 wings upon the air, life's eyes are gleaming from her forehead fair and from her breasts the ravishing eyes

 of Death” (third stanza) when he and his wife made love there was a burning desire of him having a child

 with her and that didn’t turn out the way he wanted it. The concept I’m trying to make is that there are always opposites in our life,  while Rossetti’s own was death. Soon he was consumed with dead through his

wife and became so depressed his heart soon turned cold. Oh how he must have longed for his wife to come

 back into his life, he must have wished he could have touched her one more time before she died. I know

it’s hard to lose a loved one, especially a spouse. Just imagine every day you see that person, you kiss and hug

them and shower them with love and joy and then one day that was all gone, Its’ like a physical memory

gone with the wind. When Rossetti lost his wife  to an overdose of laudanum, he also lost the child she was to conceive for him. In the process I think he lost his soul, when she died it went with her and he’s been longing to see her again.

In the last stanza of the poem it states:

                           “My love I call her, and she loves me well:

                             But I love her as in the maelstrom's cup

                             The whirled stone loves the leaf inseparable

                             That clings to it round all the circling swell,

                            And that the same last eddy swallows up.”

In the stanza there are a few symbols, from lines two to five shows the description of a whirl pool with a

stone swirling around in the whirl pool with a leaf stock to it, the leaf never comes off the stone while it gets

 swallowed up by the whirl pool. In Dante Gabriel Rossetti's life he went through a lot of achievements  and

mostly lost in life. In stanza five, line one states " My love I call her, and she loves me well" I think it states

how Rossetti's wife loved him very much but when the poem said my love I call her, it doesn't state a reply.

When his wife died it looked like he wanted to hear her voice all over again but he never heard it, only in a

memory. In lines two to five it strongly shows the caparison of his life and the symbols he used because I

 think in his mind, body and soul he adored his wife and he even tried to take his own life to be with her in

the after life. I think he thought that if he can't be with her in this life maybe that after life. This is why its so

similar to the rock and the leave in the stanza.

    In the poem Orchard-Pit which was written by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, it shows the pleasant concoction of a man who thought of himself as a brilliant person whose works was fantastic in writing and painting . it was heart breaking how he lost his wife so early in life. I think  you go through things negatively in life to get stronger but I've learned that everyone is different and some people can't take certain things in your life. I've understand that people are all formed differently, they also have different personalities, structures, hearts, souls and they also have different abilities of cooping and understanding things in their life. I consider myself as a strong person because I belief that I have the will to help other and the ability to live my life and not destroy it. I grew up in a very Christian home where your body is your temple from god. I've been thought that god only lent you this body to harbor the spirit that lies in it. I believe that when a person doesn't grow up with curtain beliefs that they choose to take their own life. In Rossetti's life story he believes that if he killed himself that he'd be with his wife. what he went through was very tragic but understandable, may he rest in peace and may he see his beloved wife again.

              Gabriel Rossetti was born in London, May 12th 1828, He was born the son, whose father was  an Italian patriot

 

and a political refugee, his mother was born and raised in England. Seeing that he grew up in both cultures he spoke 

 

fluently in both languages. The environment he grew up in was a very cultural and political. From the year 1836 to 1841,

 

he attended King’s College Academy. He studied drawing in a Royal College in 1845. He later persuaded it and made

 

friend with William Hollman and John Everrel Millais, they all became very close friends. When he painted he took his

 

inspiration from Shakespeare, Geethe, Sir Walter Scott, Byron, Edger Allan Poe and later in 1847 William Blake. In 1860

 

Rossetti Married Elizabeth Diddal, she was also a writer and painter when they met  ten years ago. But at this time she

 

was an invalid, she carried his child for nine months, the baby was still born and she died of a laudanum overdose. L

 

audanum is an alcoholic solution containing morphine, prepared from opium and formerly used as a narcotic painkiller. In

 

1869 he wrote the Orchard-pit a little after his wife died, He then went into a deep depression and had a lot of guilt

 

towards the situation. He eventually was brought to Scotland where he tried taking his own life. Eventually he recovered,

 

but was never the same. In the year 1882 Sir Dante Gabriel Rossetti died on April the 9th (1882-04-09)  in Birching ton-

 

on-sea, Kent, England.

               In the entire poem their are symbols with different meanings. The tile itself starts it off it's name is the Orchard-

 

Pit. In the first stanza there are apples, hands and bones. second stanza: hidden pit, apple tree, magic hour and hands. third

 

 stanza: hair, lips, burning breath, golden wings, beast that ravishing eyes of death. Fourth stanza: dried up channel. fifth

 

stanza: maelstrom's cup, leaf with stone stuck to it. In the entire poem the words apple, hands, bones and death are all

 

mentioned more than once. 

              

                     I believe that this poem symbolizes the tragic life story of Dante Gabriel Rossetti. In some of the symbols it

 

shows the lost in his life. In 1869 he wrote the Orchard-pit a little after his wife died, He then went into a deep

 

 

depression and had a lot of guilt towards his wife and child passing away. “Piled deep below the screening

apple-branch, they lie with bitter apples in their hands”(1-2) first stanza. I believe that the bitter apple could

symbolize the death the baby in real life. Even if I can't prove that  I know symbolism goes a long

 way. when Adam and Eve ate from the tree the fruit symbolized was an apple. I think that the apple

symbolized the soon death that would come upon them in the  near future. also in “My love I call her, and she loves me

 

 

well:

                                                   But I love her as in the maelstrom's cup ,

                                                  The whirled stone loves the leaf inseparable

                                                That clings to it round all the circling swell,

                                                   that the same last eddy swallows up.”

 

In the stanza there are a few symbols, from lines two to five shows the description of a whirl pool with a

beyonce brown eyes

Remember the first day when I saw your face?
Remember the first day when you smiled at me?
You stepped to me, and then you said to me,
I was the woman you dreamed about.
Remember the first day when you called my house?
Remember the first day when you took me out?
We had butterflies although we tried to hide it,
And we both had a beautiful night.

The way we held each other's hand,
The way we talked, the way we laughed,
It felt so good to find true love
I knew right then and there you were the one
Ooh oh oooh

I know that he loves me, cause he told me so
I know that he loves me, cause his feelings show
When he stares at me, you see he cares for me
You see how he is so deep in love
I know that he loves me cause it's obvious
I know that he loves me cause it's me he trusts
And he's missing me, if he's not kissing me
And when he looks at me his brown eyes tell his soul

Remember the first day, the first day we kissed?
Remember the first day we had an arguement?
We apologized, and then we compromised
And we haven't argued since
Remember the first day we stopped playing games?
Remember the first day you fell in love with me?
It felt so good for you to say those words
Cause I felt the same way too

The way we held each other's hand,
The way we talked, the way we laughed
It felt soo good to fall in love
And I knew right then and there you were the one ooh oh ohhwoah

I know that he loves me, cause he told me so
I know that he loves me, cause his feelings show
When he stares at me you see he cares for me
You see how he is so deep in love,
I know that he loves me cause it's obvious
I know that he loves me cause it's me he trusts
And he's missing me, if he's not kissing me
And when he looks at me his brown eyes tell his soul.

I'm so happy, so happy that you're in my life
And baby now that you're a part of me
You showed me,
Showed me the true meaning of love (the true meaning of love)
And I know he loves me

I know that he loves me, cause he told me so
I know that he loves me, cause his feelings show
When he stares at me you see he cares for me
You see how he is so deep in love
I know that he loves me cause it's obvious
I know that he loves me cause it's me he trusts
And he's missing me, if he's not kissing me
And when he looks at me his brown eyes tell his soul
He looks at me and his brown eyes...
Tell his soul

The reason why I choose these lyrics was because I have fell in love with the man of my dreams. he makes me complete and has showed me a lot of things I couldn't see. I never though that I could feel this way for another human being, It feels like i have known him in another life and this one. I wish that people around me could experience the love I am witnessing and feeling but not everyone can get that because they, themselves have to want it and go through things in their life before they could feel what I feel. I have learnt that you can't make someone feel the way you do it never works that way. some times I feel like me journey with my partner describes and feels like that story the note book. but with out me loosing my memory, I wish my soon to be husband and I could grow old and die together in our sleep.

when I first evaluated the poem Original sin, it stood out to me as a woman reliving her past. she showed in the poem how she grew up in a small town and soon moved away to continue her education in Harvard university. when she was studying there she got pregnant and had to move back home. At first it was a disappointment to her grandfather. she grew up as an Orphan without both parents. she was raised by her grandfather who had to pay for her to come back home to have the baby, but horrid new came to them when she had a miscarriage and she soon learned that she couldn't have anymore children. she soon became bitter toward other people's children when laughter was heard. in the end when the poem states" like a mother who rises at night to seek a childhood picture; or it goes to the backyard and stands like an old horse cold in the pasture. But when there were the class review of the poem I learned that the poem is about the write Robert Penn Warren who grew up poor and parent less who was raised by his grandfather and when he got older he went to Harvard, he also had a lot of death in the family a few of his siblings died and he became an only child with a lot of hate in his heart and  was also obsessed with death. he also grew up in a christian based family but he never trusted religion and believed that god didn't exist

There are twelve basic archetypes and their characteristics are innocent, orphan, warrior, caregiver, seeker, lover, destroyer, creator, ruler, magician, sage, and jester. as humans we all have these characteristics for example when I think of innocent I think of a child. Orphan it reminds me of someone who depends on someone for help this could be wife. warrior could be a solider, marine, boxer or a swimmer. caregiver is our parents, family or older. seeker can be an explorer who travels the open sea, in search for land like Christopher Columbus. lover could be a couple just married in love. destroyer could be someone who lost a very close family member and is trying to let go. creator could be a scientist. Ruler could be a queen or king or the president. magician could be someone who is a psychologist who helps you heal. sage could be a professor, teacher, preacher or minster. last the jester could be clown.
