Q1:Have you not done tormenting me with your accursed time?
Q2:Why will you never let me sleep?
Q3:Aren't you sure Pozzo wasn't Godot?
Q4:And you are Pozzo? The same as yesterday.
Q5:Was I sleeping, while the others suffered?
Q6:Am I sleeping now?
Q7:Tomorrow when I wake, What shall I say of today?That with Estragon my friend, at this place,until the fall of night, I waited for Godot? That Pozzo passed, with his carrier, and that he spoke to us?
Q8:But in all that what truth will there be?
Q9:I wonder is pozzo really blind.
Didi was confused about waiting for Godot. He used "sleep" to express that he was struggling that if doing the same thing everyday without a result is significant or not. When a person is asleep, he should be in a state with no consciousness and no thinking. Similarly, he waited for Godot blindly and numbly. He thought someone else suffered from working hard to get rid of poverty while he choose an easy way which was waiting for someone to help him. he must was daydreaming. His life was dry and boring, and he almost knows what will be going on tomorrow. In the Q7, he made a conclusion of things happened at that day and tried to find something new and something different from other days. He always felt lonely while waiting for Godot, so he didn't let Gogo sleep and make Gogo talk to him. This also tells us the friendship between them. Everything changes as each second passed. Pozzo got blind and he was not the same as yesterday. Didi started realizing that he probably need to be awaken. He doesn't want that when the world around him is changing, he is still sleeping.

My character
Vladimir
What is your character like? What is he not like?
He is wise,smart,thoughtful in the scene. He is really clear that his goal is waiting for Godot.
Identify the objects your character interacts with?
He sometimes interacted with his hats, He always put his hat off then put it on again.
Describe HOW your character interacts with the other characters. Use specific examples!!!
He is the only who talked Godot's messenger, each time a boy came to the tree in the scene, Vladimir would asked him that Godot would come or not. The answer always disappointed him.
How does your character make sense of his world? What does he think? How does he think?
He really care about the friendship with Estragon. He loved him. When he made Estragon angry, he would always apologized to him. When Estragon had trouble with his boots, he helped him take the boots off Estragon's feet or wear it on. He wanted to have a better life and he believed that Godot would come to save them. So he waited, no matter what happened he didn't leave the tree. And he always reminded Estragon that they can't leave because they are waiting for Godot.

Homework for the Weekend
(1)The "Power of ten" shows us how tiny human beings are in the whole galaxy, everything we do would not be really matter to the world since we are just so ordinary. The play "Waiting For Godot" expressed the same idea. Vladimir and Estragon were just two vagrants according to the background. They didn't have a job and don't have anything necessary to do. Everyday they chatted and found many small topics for killing the time. Didi and Gogo didn't do anything contributing to the society. We are having the same situation under the perspective of god or under the view from the whole galaxy. We think our technology change the world and influence the whole ecosystem, but in fact we are just like Vladimir and Estragon, not important at all because no other creatures living on other planets can see what we did.
(2) Lucky is a slaver of Pozzo. Lucky must obey Pozzo's order. Even thought Lucky tried his best to satisfy his boss, Pozzo sometimes still wanted to fire him because Lucky was really old. "You want to get rid of him?I do."(Pg 24). It reflected to a cruel fact that sometimes you try your best on doing something but no one take it seriously or the result is still not the one you want. Didi and Gogo insisted on waiting for Godot everyday, but the result always disappointed them when the boy came to send them messages.
(3)Vladimir seemed expressing his determination to us because he insisted on waiting for Godot besides the trees until he comes. Instead, Estragon sometimes wanted to give up this hope and to leave that place.
(4)I think even Didi and Gogo didn't have a clue of what were they talking about. It seemed that they just mixed up a lot of topics or stories in their conversation. While they were waiting for Godot, they don't know what they could do except talking to each other.
(5) My life is related to this play. Didi and Gogo had a goal which were waiting for godot even thought they were not informed that what is the accurate time that Godot will come. In my life, I have my dream as well. No one come to tell us when I will be achieve this goal, but I won't give up anyway because I believed that I will be success one day.
(6) The first one is friendship. It shows Didi and Gogo love each other, although they always had arguments. The second one is goal or dream. Waiting for godot is the main story line of this play. If they didn't set this as their goal, they would not appear on the stage. They would continue living without any hopes, dreams like the walking dead. The goal which is waiting for godot gives them the significance of their lives because they know what to do at least.
(7)Some people might think this play is cynical because the fate of this two people are tragedy. We might think they were waiting for something that will never come, but how could we know that godot won't come if they don't wait. So I think the author wants to tell us that no matter how ridiculous or how funny that our dreams are, we must hold on to it anyway. Sometimes People feel insecure because they don't have a dream or how to achieve the goals. When we don't know what we live for, we lost the direction and feel lost. The flip side of insecurity is calling and sense of responsibility. When we have goals in our life, we will have that.

My opinion about global warming
I definitely disagree with the people who don't take the responsibility to solve the problem of global warming. I think that Each kind of human activities on the earth contributes to the global warming. If people don't take this problem seriously, the trend of temperature will persistently increase at an accelerated rate.
Green house effect causes global warming directly. Thermal radiation absorbed by the earth face transmit to atmospheric green house gases. The layer of greenhouse gas reflects the radiation in all direction. Since part of re-radiation is back towards the surface and the lower atmosphere, it results in the rising of the average surface temperature.
But where are the greenhouse gas coming from? The answer is ourselves. Human activities including Transportation, waste disposal, biomass burning,Industrial processes are releasing a huge amount of Carbon dioxide, Methane and Nitrous Oxide to the air. Those air pollution form the greenhouse gas layer.
The consequences of a warming world are more serious than what we think. The temperature will increase to a certain degree that human can not bear. Weather Patterns will also change. Fire, drought and lightning will spread out all over the world. Global warming also melts ices in the pole area and rises sea level.

3 topics that I interested in
When Corporations claimed the rights of human, they owns the rights of free speech, privacy and the right of self-protection. this amendment which considered corporations as persons give them more power to dominate this society.
"Corporations today play a role that was historically filled by royal courts: they control most of the wealth and exert power over the lives of most citizen." (Pg 221)
The structure of a tribal or democratic group.
"Tribe are characterized by five traits:
1. Political independence.
2. Egalitarian structure.
3. Getting their resources from renewable local sources.
4. Having a unique sense of their own identity
5. Respecting the identity of other tribes." (Pg 194)
Our culture's growth has similiarities to cancer.
" It re-routes blood vessels intro it, and consumes the spaces and tissues of nearby organs in its orgy of growth. It takes over. It's called cancer."(P 160)
"So to return to the medical analogy of cells in humans, and humans as part of the Earth, historically the genus Homo has been part of nature, and has influenced its environment in ways that any other nature predator and modifier of the environment- from tigers to termites- inevitably do."(Pg 162)

Global Warming
Global
warming is the most serious environmental problem in the world. People burn
fossil fuel and coal, which increases the concentration of Carbon Dioxide in
the atmosphere. The rate of rising has been rapid since 1800S because too many
industries were built up and polluted the air. Some other human activities such
as deforestation which significantly contributes to the climate change because
there are fewer plants to consume the Carbon Dioxides. When the sun’s short
wave radiation goes through the atmosphere and hits the Earth Surface, the
Earth consumes the short wave radiation and sends the long wave radiation out. Carbon
Dioxides in the atmosphere form a wall to stop most of radiation going out. It
reflects the radiation back to the Earth. Much heart from the radiation is
trapped in the Earth and the global temperature rises up. This “greenhouse
effect” is the reason why the climate changed.
