Semiotics

What factors effect how we interpret signs?

semiotics- reading signs

the factors that effect how we interpret signs could be something that has previously happened and effects on how u see the other person.

For example, a student that was recently kicked out of the lesson, enters the class with his jacket still on. Now because this particular student was sent out last lesson this action of him entering with his jacket still on gives the impression that he wants to be somewhere else when really he is gonna take it off when he sits down, or maybe he is unwell and is cold.

This is because of the factors of what happened in the previous


And

the word and can change meaning depending on how u say it.

If you were in a situation where someone was telling you “oh, you know if u do that he is gonna shout at you” when you reply “and?” It implys that you don’t care if he shouts and your asking if that’s all he is gonna do.

It was a normal day when I was snowboarding with the school in Italy?. It was only the second day so I wasn’t that good, I was very unstable and I was often falling over.

Today I was trying to stop on my toes while going really fast and I buckled, this isn’t the first time I have fell over, so I got up and thought nothing of it and went back to the top of the slope.

It wasn’t until people started screaming and pointing at me that I realised my hand was hanging off my wrist. Like a needle hanging from a thread, my hand was hanging off my wrist with blood pouring out of it. As soon as what happened had sunk in, I instantly bellowed out ” what the heck has happened ?” and just sat down in the corner crying?.

I don’t know why I’m upset; it doesn’t hurt. Out of no where a skier ⛷ came and knocked my hand, apologised straight away, but my whole hand came flying off my arm and started sliding down the slope ??.

? Angry that my hand has gone but not in pain ?,the blood stopped pouring out and then some guy came walking up the slopes with my severed hand inside a pickle jar and said “go to a hospital ? and they will re -attach it , ask for Mr Reeves he will do it for you.” Before I could say thank you, he disappeared quicker than you could say Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

I soon woke up at the top of the slope with a jar that said pickles on it, but there was no pickles . IT WAS MY HAND?! Wait, u remember that guy, yeah he told me to go hospital to ask for Mr Reeves. I just woke up though, oh well let’s go hospital.

 

 

My story

It was Halloween night. The trees were leafless and all green was now brown, it was a dark time.

Back home, after patrolling the streets scaring people, Brian had already washed of his face paint, showered and got changed , all ready for bed. Stewie (the youngest in the house at the age of 13) was  in bed fast asleep. Brian went to bed and left the door open to allow light in and also to hear other family members in the house if anything has gone wrong. Later on in the night stewie woke up by a sound rustling in the siting room, he gets up to check it out, by the time he gets to the sitting room door  the sound stops and the cat comes running out. “Damn you cat”

ESSAY (Fate)


Fate with Brutus and Cassius

Act one is the scene where the soothsayer gives Ceaser a warning that is vague with the line “Beware the ides of March”.  The word fate comes in here because Shakespeare is trying to let us know that something will happen at the ides of March because we as an audience know that Ceaser is going to die but we don’t know where or when. Shakespeare here is playing the suspense for the audience. Dramtic irony is also used here, “Beware the ides of March” the characters in the play (Ceaser) have no idea what is going on. However the audience knows that Ceaser is going to die so Shakespeare uses suspense of where and when it is exactly gonna happen to keep the audience intreagued.

Calpurnia, Ceasers wife, warns ceaser to not leave the house “you shall not stir out of your house today” Calpurnia had a bad dream about the omens implying that ceaser will die. In her dream she said that she could see graves yawning and yielding up their dead ,fiery warriors fighting upon the clouds and ghosts shrieking about the streets. Ceaser doesn’t believe that this prediction has anything to do with him as there is a whole world where people die all the time. However Calpurnia replies with” when beggars die there are no comets seen, the heavens themselves blaze forth the death of a prince.” She is saying that if someone that’s not important dies the heavens don’t seem to care but when a prince (Ceaser) was to die then it would be a very big deal.In the end, Ceaser agrees with Calpurnia and says that he will not go and send mark Antony to tell the others that he is not well.

Fate is also in this scene of Ceasers’ death because he was once warned by the soothsayer to “beware the ides of March” although this warning was vague, we knew that something was going to happen here and it was unavoidable. after Ceaser agreeing to stay at home with his wife, he was later persuaded to go there by Decius. At the ides of March with the conspirators where Ceaser then said “the ides of march have come” then the following reply from the soothsayer “ay,Ceaser,but not gone.” the soothsayer is saying that yes the ides of march has come but is not over yet. After a little argument about metalus’ brother (cimber) being banished and Ceaser refusing to let him back in the line “i am as constamt as the northen star” here is saying that what he does and says will stay and will not be undone like the northern star that is always there. The conspirators didnt seem to pleased about this so Casca screamed out “speak hands for me” and stabbed Ceaser in the back,Ceaser then stood up and said “et tu brute, Then fall Ceaser”. He was ashamed that Brutus was to be such a roman to want him dead too, especially when Ceaser liked Brutus, after these words is when conspirators followed with multiple stabs to the chest and stomach. This is fate because he could not avoid going to the ides of march what so ever. Even after he made a decision to not go he was then persuaded to go. This clearly shows that it was his fate to go the ides of march to be killed.

Fate also plays with cassius when he commits suicide.. This is shown by him believing that he is losing the war, he thinks that he is losing because he got told by Titinus that “Brutus gave the word too early” and pindarus “Fly further off ,my lord , fly further off! Mark Antony is in our tents” after he has heard these words Cassius now in belief that they are losing the war and Antony is on his way. Cassius feels like they are losing the war and doesn’t want Antony to have the joy in killing him so then requests for pindarus to strive through him with the same dagger that killed Ceaser. Pindarus does so and flees. The others then enter to tell Cassius that they were actually winning the war. Fate plays with Cassius here because he thought that he was losing because he could hear the screams ,cries and explosions. Also could see his tents on fire and got told that Antony was on his way so he wanted to cheat fate by killing himself instead of letting fate have him by Antony taking his life.

Ozymandias represents fate as well because the poem creates an image that he was a ruler who created big empires that eventually he lost. And fate comes in because it seems that no matter what he tried to make for the people of his city, fate eventually catches up and he loses everything just like ceaser. All that remains is a stone statue in the desert where ” a half sunk, shattered visage lies”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is the ghost in 4:3 show us ?



Super Natural 

  • Fate/Destiny Brutus feels unhinged because he has just been given a lot of power and his wife has died and he killed someone he once loved. He is unstable at the moment ; he is slowly falling apart
  • Sooth sayer – warning
  • Caeser ghost
  • Calpurnia premanations/omens
  • Act 1:3, the lion and the riots in the streets and the tempest dropping fire




 

 

Insulting Brutus and Cassius

“I had rather be a dog and bay the moon than such a Roman”

Implying that he would rather be a dog than such a Roman. This is because the dog is waiting for a response from the moon and that is impossible so he is also trying to say that he would rather be a dog trying something impossible than such a Roman like cassius.

Moon: A stymble for the impossible

Metaphor: Dog and bay the moon. It is a metaphor because he doesn’t actually wanna be a dog he is just saying that he would rather be someone trying to do the impossible then to be a man like Cassius.

 

 

 

 

 

How has antony changed 4:1

Antony has changed by becoming more powerful and is taking more control over Lepidus “his corporal motion govern’d by my spirit.” Implying that Lepidus is under Antony’s fumb. Another quote to back up my answer ” This is a slight, unmeritable man, meet to be sent on errands; is it fit, The three fold world divided, he should stand One of the three to share it ?”  Here in this peice of text he is questioning wether Lepidus is werthy to be one of the 3 that are in power as he is met by being set on errands.

This is why I believe that Antony has changed to be in more control of Lepidus because he doesn’t seem to like him and don’t want him to be one of the 3 that has power over Rome. Antony also seems to enjoy having Lepidus run errands and having him under his fumb.
