Period 4, Michael Carleo, English 4 Honors
The most important Graduate Profile that Dante would take out of Paramus Catholic would be to continue to involve prayer, faith and justice in all aspects of life as witnessed during high school. Dante was very religious his whole life, and by knowing that aspect, he would want a person to live a faith filled life even after high school. He finds living a just life and a life involved in prayer a good one. By doing this, one can stay out of the fires of Hell. He found making that choice to be faith filled is so important not only to yourself, but to God as well. People who never chose after they passed on would be in a worse spot than sinners in the 1st or even 2nd level of Hell! Just by living a life like this after graduating from PC, one will be almost guarenteed to stay out of any of the horrible levels of the underworld. Being able to come out of high school with this profile will not only be important to Dante, it would be very essential to Dante's life.

I Believe...
I am in an unnatural relationship with "my" king (I.ii.67).
I must obey my mother, even at the hardest times (I.ii.124).
That my life can't be of any value without my father (I.iv.72-760).
In avenging my father, who was killed unnaturally (I.v.37).
That even a king can praised and be a villain at the same time (I.v.111-116).
In keeping my plan secret between my friends Horatio, Marcellus, and myself (I.v.152-212).
In keeping a real friendship, and not to be played like a fool (III.ii.372-402)!
That when I do kill him, "his heels may kick at heaven, and that his soul may be as damned and black as hell, whereto it goes" (III.iv.98-100).
That my mother has betrayed my father, but also forgotten him (III.iv.13).
In an adventure for the truth (III.iv.23-25).

Period 4, Michael Carleo, Eng 4 HNR
In this soliloquy, Hamlet is resolute because he resolves into doing no harm to his mother after all. He knows that he has to be obeying to the ghost's commands, so he can avenge him. A quote that fits that analysis is "To give them seals, never, my soul, consent." Hamlet is obeying the ghost's wishes on not harming his mother. Hamlet is not melancholy because he is not in a state of sadness. He goes on with being somewhat skeptical about ending up like Nero did, but he wasn't sad or gloomy about anything. "Let me be cruel, not unnatural," is a great line showing that he was not melancholy whatsoever. Hamlet is not pensive because he is not thinking deeply about whether he should hurt his mother. He is just reflecting on how he does not want to turn out like Nero did as in the quote, "...let not ever the soul of Nero enter this firm bosom." Yet with some sadness, he is not gloomy about the situation. Hamlet is not incredulous because he is not skeptical on if he is going to hurt his mother, he just worries if he is because of the situation with his mother "turning" on her own son. "Soft! now to my mother./O heart, lose not thy nature..." is a quote that shows how he is worried, but not skeptical about hurting his mother. Also, besides not being skeptical, he did not have an angry undertone as well. "I will speak daggers to her, but use none," is a great quote to show that because even though he is mad at her, he won't do anything to hurt her physically.
