Hamlet: Madman?

         
This is only an overview of my essay, I got stuck and decided to write down my ideas and come back to it after a night's sleep.



          A killer, a ghost-whisperer, a quick-witted, conflicted teenager; a madman? All signs and characteristics seem to illustrate a perfect Psychopath, but I do not think Hamlet is insane. Hamlet has recently gone through the tragedy of losing both his father to murder, and his mother to the murderer. The grief that has stricken Hamlet is causing him to see the ghost of his father in his mind, which in turn opens his eyes to the truth about his death. Once he sees this truth he is moved to put an end to his pain by avenging his father and is too blinded by sadness to see through this temporary insanity. I do believe his rage will pass once all deeds are done and he will carry regret with him for the rest of his life, however long that may be. As for his quick-witted responses and sarcastic tone, he was born with it.

Masterpiece Cookbook

I've changed my masterpiece. Last year I was diagnosed with Autoimmune disease, and evidence is pointing to Lupus. I've had a lot of life changes because of this but one of the major ones is my diet. I cannot eat gluten, dairy, or white table sugar. I also have to avoid potatoes and tomatoes; under no circumstance am I allowed sulfur dioxide (used for freshness). So I've begun to create a cookbook since you can hardly find any recipes with all these restrictions accounted for. I've learned to alter and create recipes and have come up with some excellent ones; approved by my family. I've already started to put together my cookbook and am quite enthusiastic about it!
