What Do I Want To Be Remember For?

What Do I Want To Be Remember For?

 

   It is not really what I want to be remember for, but by who. I do not care about total strangers remembering me for what I did. I want my friends and family to remember me for whom I was. Yes it is true I want to become a famous chef one day, but I do not want to be remembered for that. I would want to be remember by my kids as a loving and caring father who would do anything for them. If I do go before my parents, I want them to know they did a great job raising me and everyday with them made me extremely happy. By all my close friends I would want to be remember as someone who could always make them laugh and have a good time. 
    Being remember by just anyone is not really important to me. I do want to be a famous chef and when strangers hear my name I would like them to know who I am, but that is not really important to me. One of the most important thing in my life is to be a great father. I grew up with a great father and I want to show him what you taught me. I want my kids to remember as a father who would do anything for them. I would make soup for them when they are sick or hot chocolate when they are cold. I would want them to know that I always put them before myself. Just to make them happy and see them happy would be the most rewarding thing that could happen to me, and it would make me happy. 
    If I sadly do go before my parents I would want them to know they did a great job raising me and that everyday I spent with them was memorable. I hope that I can impress them by what I accomplish in my life. Mainly because without all their guidance and they way they raised me I would not of turned out the way I did. If anyone else raised me I would not of turned out the way I did. I would need to them to know how grateful I am for the wonderful job they did raising me. Also how grateful I am for the sacrifice they had to make just to see me happy. 
    My friends will always be very important to me. The most important thing I would be remember for by them are how good of a friend I was. That if they were upset I would try to do anything to see them laugh. I would want them to know I would help them with any problem they have. Also just someone they could have a good laugh with and a great time. I would want them to remember how much of a dick i really was and how I love to rip on any of my friends, but I would never mean a word of it. One of the most important things are for them to know nothing would ever come between us. 
    Being remembered by total strangers are obviously not the most important thing to me. It is really important to me to be remembered by all my close friends and family and just people I love. My kids have to remember me as a loving father who loved them. Also my parents would have to know how grateful I am for all they did for me. Lastly my friends remember me as a friend who would do anything for them. Being remember by just anyone is not important it is just to be remember by how I was and not what I did.

Whos


Who's Love Was More Pure?


    Love seems to always cause a problem in the plays of Shakespeare and these two are very similar but also very different. Of course talking about Romeo&Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream. In each of these plays love is a very powerful thing that puts all main characters in a bit of trouble. The two main characters in each are young boys in fall in love Romeo and Lysander the women they love seems to always keep them in balance, but they both do things very different. It is argued that the characters got what they really deserved and that the ending of each book should be reversed. Who really got what they deserved Juliet and her dear Romeo or Lysander and his Hermia?
    Lysander is a young noblemen of Athens. He is in love with his Hermia, but his love for her is forbidden. It is forbidden by Hermia's father who thinks she should marry someone of higher class. Lysander thinking that love can conquer any obstacle persuades Hermia to leave everything they have in Athens and run into the forest. Lysander and Hermia could not have been happier they felt like nothing could ruin their fun.
    Romeo and Lysander make grave mistakes, because of love. They are similar in many different ways they are both completely blinded by love and would do anything for the love of their life. One is a lot more blind then the other in the two plays. Love is the over all conqueror in both plays it makes both character do crazy things they would not do, if not in love. There were also many major differences Romeo seemed to be a character who jumped around with the girl he loved. Lysander on the other hand was true to Hermia only did not love her when he was forced not to by the fairy Robin. Romeo and Juliet just seemed like something greater then them did not want them together, but it seemed like Lysander and Hermia were wanted to be together with the father of Hermia of course, it seemed like greater forces wanted them to be together.
    In both stories the outcomes of each of the characters are completely different. Anyone who read both could easily tell. Romeo and Juliet can only be together in the afterlife this is why they had to die together. Nobody in the living world wanted them together and they had to take their lives. Completely opposite of them are Lysander and Hermia they are in very true love and they run away together the only one wanting them to be apart is Hermia's father. The only reason they have a problem is a fairy sprinkles a love juice on the sleeping eyes of Lysander and he simply sees the wrong girl first, but by the end Hermia and Lysander are happily together. It's argued who got what they deserve, but it is obvious Lysander and Hermia truly got what they deserved.
    Who really got what they deserved Lysander and Hermia or Juliet and her dear Romeo? It is very much argued on who got what, but Hermia and Lysander deserved the happy ending. Romeo was simply blind by love and did not know what was going on. Lysander was never blind only looking the wrong direction of things. The greater good pushed Lysander's eyes back to his Hermia. Which proves that the ones who belong together are Lysander and Hermia. Romeo and Juliet were meant to be in another life not this one.
