When I first started playing I had to practice so up to five hours a day to just get the simplest note note out of my horn.At first first i was the worst flute player ever, i couldn't even play the smallest note.My teacher Mr.Correll helped me, and made me play until I got it which took along time to do.

During the time of The Tempest, the world was evolving and had become much larger. The Tempest portrays colonialism primarily due to Prospero when he comes to Sycorax’s island and subdues her, rules the land and introduces his own culture on the people of the land. He has full control over everything on the island and makes Caliban works as his servant and calls him of a thing of darkness. Not only does Prospero dehumanise and view Caliban as a subhuman, but views him as inferior. This shows the coloniser’s attitudes looking down on the colonised people, whereby they use words such as knowledge, light, wisdom, to refer to the colonising people, opposed to the terms darkness and ignorance to describe the colonised.

Shakespeare’s The Tempest was written during the time when civilized nations were conquering other undeveloped nations and manipulating their native people and their natural resources. It was during that time that countries such as Great Britain, Portugal and Spain extended their rules to other countries such as Africa, Asia, and the Americas. When these conquering countries conquered other nations, they not only stamped their ownership over them, they also imposed their own culture on the natives. Imposing their culture, they taught the natives to speak the conquerors’ language and practice their culture.

With the first two drafts, I felt I did a good job with collecting multiple points to catch on to my idea of Caliban being viewed as a monster with reasons of how and why. An example being racism downplaying African people and other non-Europeans as savages or sub-humans. I also thought I did a good job with examples of Caliban being portrayed as a monster because of his betrayal against Prospero for forcing to become his personal slave. However with the comment guidelines from the professor and through my own corrections, I noticed my use of summarizing The Tempest with the first three pages a lot. So I took most of the summarizing paragraphs and use the rest to intensify my view of how and why Caliban was portrayed as a monster.

The acceptance of one’s true self is the embracement of truth, and the motivation for self improvement. In The Tempest by William Shakespeare, the challenges that character’s face are springboards to further potential growth. Prospero, the protagonist, is an important character in this play, because he grows from his past mistakes; he is unlike other characters, such as Alonso, who changes out of guilt rather than self-reflection. In this paper, I will focus on how Prospero frees himself from further anguish by connecting symbolism with aspects of his character growth.

Shakespeare had a critical view on the European model of colonialism. European exploitation and exploration had a direct influence on his writing of the Tempest, especially the characterization of Caliban. Unlike his other plays, Shakespeare focuses on the victim, in this case Caliban, and the story revolves around the relations between the Europeans (colonizers) and him (conquered). His work was an overt representation of the controversial issues on going at that time, with not only natives conquered and forced to adopt European mentalities, but also the effects colonialism had on Europeans as well. This analogous piece was pretty controversial considering the time period as it also viewed the ruling class unfavorably.

Multiple attempts following that, I didn’t fare much better if at all. It was incredibly frustrating to shoot so frequently and have an outcome with little to no improvement. At many points in time it was extremely discouraging too, but I knew that the only way I was going to succeed is if I kept at it. The saying “practice makes perfect” always circulates in my mind when I shoot because there is an unreal amount of truth associated with the phrase. The more you work at something, the more likely you are to achieve your goal.
