I've been
searching some ideas of revenge April Fools pranks on the internet and I ended
up finding some awesome ideas. Here is a link of what I found. My favorite prank is to hide an alarm clock in her room
in a place that she’ll never think of looking and set it for three in the
morning. This way she won’t be able to sleep until she turns it off- which is
pure genius. Props to whoever thought of that! Another good one I've seen is to
make a fake copy of an important piece of paper or a project for school that
she has and replace it with the real one. Then I can spill my drink on it and
make her flip out because her hard work is ruined. Is that too cruel?
Revenge in
general is a cruel thing. Its human nature to want to get back at someone for
doing something nasty they do to you, but is it really worth it? Does it make
you better than that person to get back at them? Unfortunately no but it is
good for a laugh! If not a laugh, it’s useful for a pick-me-up. I have a lot of
mixed emotions about revenge because of this. Personally, I feel remorse when I
do something that may hurt someone else, although it’s difficult to fight off
the urge to “punish” them. It’s this very human nature quality that links to
selfishness. Let’s face it, we all put ourselves first. Why should we care what
others feel when we can please ourselves?
This is my view of Hamlet’s thoughts in Hamlet by Shakespeare. Hamlet is a
prince who’s father has recently passed away of “unknown causes”. Hamlet saw
his father’s ghost, who told Hamlet that he was murdered by his uncle for the
hand of the queen and the power. If I were him, I would be far beyond mad. Guess
what he decides to do about it? Good guess, revenge! If his uncle had poisoned
his father, he will take the life of his uncle as payback. I completely
understand his motive and reasoning but is it right to take a life for a life?
According to Hammurabi's Code, it was considered
fair and just to have an equal punishment. This seems a little far, how about
forgiveness? I wouldn't expect him to make amends with his uncle but to take
his life is another story. I've heard rumors about that ending of this play and
I am still excited to read it for myself. Knowing Shakespeare, it will be
bloody and everyone will die. Here is video a I found of the big fight scene from Hamlet in
search of some action and fighting from the play. Comment with any opinions or
ideas of revenge or pranks, thanks guys!
