Multiview

The Movie A Midsummer Night Dream is multi-view because of all the stories that are within another story. The story with the three couples in their lovers’ spats, how two men love Hermia and if she were to choose Lysander she would have to die. It can show the same scene from different characters’ point of view like when it went from the Titania, the Fairy Queen, to Bottom, to Oberon, to Puck.

Artifact

The flower played an important role in A Midsummer Night Dream because it created chaos and with out the chaos there would not be a story to tell. By using the flower to make people fall in love and Puck getting the wrong man at first it created the middle of the story. How the Gods and the mortals interacted in the play.

Translation

This is my first stuffed animal given to me by my late grandfather. I keep it with me so when I feel sad I can hold it and think of happier times when he was still here. This translates a feeling of longing and so happiness to know that he is not suffering any more and he is happy.

Story

A Myth is a story real or not. The Gods and Goddesses were created to understand things that cannot be explained in nature. Most all creatures of myths have a story behind them weather they married someone or they control the seasons, underworld, or heavens. Some stories have people you can relate to like mortals or in some cases demi-gods, thought superhuman.

Cycle

The lunar cycle shows change but at the same time things are never changing. If you look at how we see the moon every night it changes in an everlasting cycle. Some times it will be larger, glowing brighter, or a different color, but it will still be the same moon we see almost every night.
