Closed Note Annotations: Eurydice

“So you have swept me back” | The word “So” is used several times and at the beginning of stanzas. I think this was meant to represent Eurydice realizing what Orpheus had done. Letting this adaptation be Eurydice realizing all of this for the first time.
“ I who could have slept among the live flowers” | The word “Live” shows the how she is with the dead and now she is officially forever with the dead. She can no longer “live” amoung the flowers because she can no loner live.
“ I am broken at last” | The was she uses ‘at last’ shows that this is not the first thing Orpheus has ever done to her. I think when Eurydice uses ‘at last’ she means to the effect that he finally has done it.
“ If you had let me rest with the dead” | THe words ‘let me’ shows that Orpheus was extremely controlling. Even if the after life, he still has a hold of Eurydice. Shows that Orpheus was the more controlling one in the relationship.
“ I had forgot you and the past”  | THe word Forgot makes it seem like she was working towards forgetting and that she wanted to forget the past life she had. She definitely did not want to remember.
“I am swept back”  | The word ‘swept’ gives the word the connotation of being abducted rather than being saved.
“I am broken at last” | The word ‘I’ expresses on the fact that all of this is happening to her and not him. Because of all of the mistakes he made she will now suffer in eternity. The repetition of I really emphasizes who is receiving punishment for his actions

So you have swept me back,

I who could have walked with the live souls

above the earth,

I who could have slept among the live flowers

at last;

so for your arrogance

and your ruthlessness

I am swept back

where dead lichens drip

dead cinders upon moss of ash;

so for your arrogance

I am broken at last,

I who had lived unconscious,

who was almost forgot;

if you had let me wait

I had grown from listlessness

into peace,

if you had let me rest with the dead,

I had forgot you

and the past.

The Judgment of pairs PDF

The evil goddess of Discord, Eris, was naturally not popular in Olympus, and when the gods gave a banquet they were apt to leave her out.Resenting this deeply, she determined to make trouble — and she succeeded very well indeed. At an important marriage, that of King Peleus and the sea nymph Thetis, to which she alone of all the
divinities was not invited, she threw into the banqueting hall a golden apple marked For the Fairest. Of course all the goddesses wanted it, but in the end the choice was narrowed down to three: Aphrodite, Hera and Pallas Athena. They asked Zeus to judge between them, but very wisely here fused to have anything to do with the matter. He
told them to go to Mount Ida, near Troy, wherethe young prince Paris, also called Alexander, was keeping his father's sheep. He was an
excellent judge of beauty, Zeus told them. Paris, though a royal prince, was doing shepherd's work because his father Priam, the King of Troy, had been warned that this prince would some day be
the ruin of his country, and so had sent him away. At the moment Paris was living with a lovely nymph named Oenone.
His amazement can be imagined when there
appeared before him the wondrous forms of the
three great goddesses. He was not asked, however,
to gaze at the radiant divinities and choose which of
them seemed to him the fairest, but only to consider
the bribes each offered and
choose which seemed to him
best worth taking.
Nevertheless, the choice
was not easy. What men
care for most was set
before him. Hera promised
to make him Lord of Europe
and Asia; Athena, that he
would lead the Trojans to
victory against the Greeks and
lay Greece in ruins; Aphrodite,
that the fairest woman in all
the world be his. Paris, a weakling and something
of a coward, too, as later events showed, chose the
last. He gave Aphrodite the golden apple. That was the
Judgment of Paris, famed everywhere as the real reason
why the Trojan War was fough

Mean Girls directed by Mark Walters

Sixteen-year-old homeschooled Cady Heron and her zoologist parents return to the United States after a twelve-year research trip in Africa, settling down in Evanston, Illinois. Attending a public school for the first time, Cady meets new classmates Janis Ian and Damian Leigh. Janis and Damian educate Cady on the school's various cliques and warn her to avoid the most popular and infamous one, the "Plastics", who are led by queen bee Regina George and include insecure rich girl Gretchen Wieners and sweet but dimwitted Karen Smith. The Plastics take an interest in Cady, and invite her to sit with them at lunch. Seeing that Cady is getting along with the Plastics, Janis hatches a plan of revenge against Regina for some past slight, using Cady as the infiltrator.

Cady soon learns about Regina's journal "The Burn Book", which is filled with rumors, secrets, gossip, and insults about the other girls and some teachers at school. Despite this discovery, Cady decides to forego Janis's scheme for ethical reasons. Meanwhile, Cady becomes attracted to Regina's ex-boyfriend, Aaron Samuels, whom a jealous Regina proceeds to steal back at a Halloween party by kissing him in front of Cady. This spurs Cady to fully commit to Janis's plan to cut off Regina's "resources", which involve breaking Regina and Aaron up, tricking her into eating nutrition bars that actually make her gain weight, and turning Regina's fellow Plastics against her. In the process, Cady unwittingly remakes herself in Regina's image, becoming spiteful and superficial, and abandons Janis and Damian.

When Regina is finally made aware of Cady's treachery, she retaliates by spreading the contents of her Burn Book all over the school, quickly inciting a massive brawl. To avoid suspicion, Regina inserts a fake libel of herself in the book in order to blame Cady, Gretchen, and Karen, the only female students not mentioned in the book. Karen convinces Principal Duvall that they did not spread the book. Duvall soon quells the fighting, and gathers all the girls in the school in the gymnasium. Math teacher Ms. Norbury, whom the Burn Book defamed as a drug dealer, makes the girls face the ways they all treat each other, confess their transgressions, and apologize to each other and the teachers. When Janis's turn comes, she defies Norbury and confesses her plan to destroy Regina with Cady's help, and openly mocks Regina with the support of the entire school. Pursued by an apologetic Cady, Regina storms out and is struck by a school bus, breaking her spine.

Without any friends, shunned by Aaron, grounded by her parents and despised by her peers at school, Cady takes full blame for the Burn Book and becomes an outcast. After she makes amends with Regina, Cady's guilt soon dissolves and she returns to her old personality. As part of her punishment for lying and failing Ms. Norbury's class, she joins the Mathletes in the state championship finals, and ends up winning the competition for her team after her opponent answers incorrectly. At the Spring Fling dance, Regina's new boyfriend, Shane Oman, is elected King, while Cady is elected Queen. Onstage, Cady declares that all her classmates are wonderful in their own way, breaks her plastic tiara, and distributes the pieces to some other girls. She then reconciles with Janis, Damian, and Aaron, and reaches a truce with the Plastics.

By the start of the new school year, the Plastics have disbanded. Regina has joined the lacrosse team to deal with her anger, Karen has become the school weather reporter (claiming that her breasts can tell when it is raining), and Gretchen joins the "Cool Asians". Aaron graduates from high school and attends Northwestern University, Janis begins dating Mathlete Kevin Gnapoor, whom she initially despised, and Cady declares that she is now normal. A group of new "Junior Plastics" has arisen, and Cady imagines them being hit by a bus

The Judgment Of Paris by Thomas Parnell

Where waving Pines the brows of Ida shade,
The swain young Paris half supinely laid,
Saw the loose Flocks thro' shrubs unnumber'd rove
And Piping call'd them to the gladded grove.
'Twas there he met the Message of the skies,
That he the Judge of Beauty deal the prize.

The Message known, one Love with anxious mind,
To make his Mother guard the time assign'd,
Drew forth her proud white Swans, and trac'd the pair
That wheel her Chariot in the purple air:
A golden Bow behind his shoulder bends,
A golden Quiver at his side depends,
Pointing to these he nods, with fearless State,
And bids her safely meet the grand Debate.
Another Love proceeds with anxious care
To make his Iv'ry sleek the shining hair,
Moves the loose Curls and bids the Forehead shew
In full Expansion all its native snow.
A third enclasps the many colour'd Cest
And rul'd by Fancy sets the silver Vest,
When to her Sons with intermingl'd sighs
The Goddess of the rosy lips applies.

'Tis now my darling boys a time to shew
The love you feel, the filial aids you owe:
Yet would we think that any dar'd to strive
For Charms, when Venus and her Loves alive?
Or should the prize of beauty be deni'd,
Has Beauty's Empress ought to boast beside?
And ting'd with Poison, pleasing while it harms,
My Darts I trusted to your infant arms;
If, when your hands have arch'd the golden Bow,
The World's great Ruler bending owns the blow,
Let no contending Form invade my due,
Tall Juno's Mein, nor Pallas Eyes of blew.
But grac'd with Triumph, to the Paphian shore,
Your Venus bears the Palms of Conquest o'er,
And joyful see my hundred Altars there
With costly Gums perfume the wanton air.

While thus the Cupids hear the Cyprian Dame,
The groves resounded where a Goddess came.
The warlike Pallas march'd with mighty stride,
Her Shield forgot, her Helmet laid aside.
Her Hair unbound, in curls and order flow'd,
And Peace, or something like, her Visage shew'd;
So with her eyes serene and hopeful haste,
The long stretch'd Allys of the Wood she trac'd.
But where the Woods a second Entrance found,
With Scepter'd Pomp, and Golden Glory crown'd
The stately Juno stalk'd, to reach the Seat,
And hear the Sentence in the last Debate,
And long, severely long resent the Grove;
In this, what boots it, she's the wife of Jove.

Arm'd with a Grace, at length, secure to win,
The lovely Venus smiling enters in;
All sweet and shining near the Youth she drew,
Her rosy Neck ambrosial odours threw;
The sacred Scents diffus'd among the leaves,
Ran down the Woods and fill'd their hoary Caves;
The Charms, so am'rous all, and each so great,
The conquer'd Judge no longer keeps his Seat;
Oppress'd with Light, he drops his weary'd eyes
And fears he should be thought to doubt the Prize.

The Idea of my Fan Fiction was to be based in High school. The time of my myth is around May of 2004 (around the time mean girls came out.) I wanted to make the goddesses into modern female teenagers all wanting to tear down the other. The theme of my adaptation was: Acts out of Jealousy are pointless. I really wanted to get more into the story line of the three main girls in the story: Athena, Aphrodite, and Eris. It talks about all of their motives for the prom and how they expect it to be life changing, when in reality, proms are never actually fun, and one dance cannot change your future: A excerpt from m fan fiction is "School dances were awful. If you were to say otherwise- you’d be lying. Everyone experienced the same overheated, overpriced, overrated drama that the night so graciously supplied. But of course even though this is common knowledge, students would lie strait through their teeth. If you would’ve asked, most everyone would’ve repeated countlessly that it was “the most wonderful night of my entire life!” Everyone else who was willing to be honest with themselves, knew deep down that these statements were a total inaccuracy. An incomplete explanation of the night, would be that it  was a complete complexity. But to be even more accurate to the night- a majority of the student body took the blow of three very jealous high schools girls, and it was all at the expense of the students prom night. Athena Delray, Aphrodite Tucker, and Eris Davidson all had very specific ideas around what this prom should've been. But even though the intention differed, the outcome became just exactly what everyone wanted- even if it was what no one really wanted."

Second source:
I used the movie Mean Girls Directed by Mark Walters as my second source for my adaptation. I think this was a good source for my adaptation, because it truly showed the kind of relationships I wanted to express in my adaptation. The jealousy and rage between the girls was the message I wanted to express. The way the ‘girl gang’ treated one another was exactly the way the goddesses would’ve acted if the odyssey was set in current time. One of the more famous quotes from the movie is “that's why her hair is so big.. Its full of secrets”

As silly as the quote is, it really exemplifies the petty drama that is throughout the movie, and throughout the adaptation. Even though mean girls was not intended to be a adaptation of ‘The Judgment of Paris” I think it could easily be. The movie exemplifies modern teenagers and their reactions to drama. I think all of the characters in the movie could be great representations of the people in the original source.

First source:

I used the poem The Judgment of Paris by Thomas Parnell for my adaptation. I think it was a good source for my adaptation because it emphasized the buildup to the judgment of paris. In this poem I wanted to expand on the idea of what happened before the judgment of paris, because in the actual source all it says is what caused it and what the result were. This poem was a good source because it shows how badly everyone wanted it and shows that they all had different reasons for wanting it. That is something that I definitely wanted to bring  to this adaptation. I thought it was interesting how really emphasized the point of all of them wanting the golden apple, and why they wanted it. Some of the literary devices that i liked in this poem was the repetition of sentences it says in the first stanza if the poem,

“For Charms, when Venus and her Loves alive? Or should the prize of beauty be deni'd,

Has Beauty's Empress ought to boast beside?” This repetition of questions inspired one part of my adaptation where Aphrodite begins to question herself. I do think this was this poem was a quality interpretation of the original source because it not only expresses more on the characters feelings, but especially expands on Athena. Making her seem doubtful of herself and her actions, because a majority of the trojan war was because of her promise of Helena  to the  prince of Troy.
