I would want this power because I would be able to morph into anything I wanted at any given moment. Not that I'm for the war, but this power would especially come in handy if I were a soldier in Iraq because it would be the ultimate camouflage. Also, not that this would help the world much, but it would be a pretty sick power to have when playing hide and seek.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36353946.post-64230807791649403862008-05-15T21:28:00.000-04:002008-05-15T21:28:00.000-04:00In act II Puck has the power to make people fall i...In act II Puck has the power to make people fall in and out of love.

There are many things that can be changed/fixed with this power. One thing that this power can do is to help keep people loe relationships stronger, making less conflict in the world so everyone would be much happier. Another way this power can help the world would be to make peace between enemy countries. There are many wars that have occured and are currently being fought and if i had this power i would make peace between the countries so the whole world would be much more peaceful.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Mike P. <BR/>P-4Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36353946.post-65195265892910861672008-05-09T15:05:00.000-04:002008-05-09T15:05:00.000-04:00If I were a fairy, I would choose to have the powe...If I were a fairy, I would choose to have the power that Puck has, which is the power to make people fall in love. I believe this power would make the most impact on the world because love is one of the hardest emotions to change. If someone is sad, you may be able to cheer them up. Love is more of an unpredictable emotion, and one that can not be changed just with one action. No one can make you love someone other than the person you love. People just don't have that kind of control. If this was possible, there may be less arguing and sorrow amongst people. We may all be at ease because we would finally be able to make the person we love, fall in love with us. If I were a fairy, I would use this power to the best. When someone was truly upset over someone they loved, I would simply make the person love them back. I believe this power may help to make people happier, even if the joy only lasts for a certain amount of time. <BR/><BR/>Lindsay, Per. 4Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36353946.post-56727269949078995982008-05-09T12:56:00.000-04:002008-05-09T12:56:00.000-04:00no i could not be aq fariy and if i were id be the...no i could not be aq fariy and if i were id be the one fariy that would destroy all the others by turnning them mortal and making them star in a rambo movie with live amuniton. yes i hate fairys. <BR/>Logan VanacoreAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36353946.post-45976112113810446902008-05-09T09:22:00.000-04:002008-05-09T09:22:00.000-04:00Well even though imp pretty sure fairies don’t exi...Well even though imp pretty sure fairies don’t exist if I was one in midsummer night’s dream I would just mess with people all day.

This power could become very dangerous if not used properly, but it could also be great. I coulder create better weather when the people need crops and animals, or make a nice winter. If handled and used correctly, the power to control the climate and weather of the earth could help many people. Also, a nicer weather could exist in time for flowers and rain could come when those flowers need water.

I think I would try to be careful with such a strong power though because not everything can be perfect, it takes the life out of life.

These are things that make the world a stunning place. It might not be the most significant power to have, but it is very important. The World is the Fairies home, so they would want it to look beautiful, and I think they would do that by making natural wonder of the world.

People i think would be a lot more happier with themselves and other people. There would be no wars, or arguments.

During Oberon and Titania's argument Titania states on p. 20 that their ongoing quarrel is affecting nature. I think that in today's day and age, controlling the weather is one of the most important powers I could have. When I watch the news, there is sometimes a story about a natural disaster, whether it's a tornado, hurricane, or flood. And in every one of these stories there are always reports of people being killed because of these events. By using my powers I could stop hurricanes and tornadoes from developing, and make storms disappear before an area gets flooded. This will save countless lives and billions of dollars in damages which could be put into other projects to help humanity. I could also control the seasons, and I would make it summer all year because I hate the cold temperatures of winter.<BR/><BR/>Peter per.4Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36353946.post-16165083949689204732008-05-08T21:34:00.000-04:002008-05-08T21:34:00.000-04:00If these fairies were in our world today, I think ...If these fairies were in our world today, I think the power that would have the most impact on our world would be the controlling of the seasons. The king and queen fairy are fighting, which alters the patterns of the seasons. When it is supposed to be summer it is winter, and when it is supposed to be winter it is summer. That would have a huge impact on our world for many reasons such as; crops, certain jobs that can only be done during certain times of the year, money from tourists coming in on certain seasons, plants, mood of people, all things like that are affected when seasons are affected. If I could have the power to alter the seasons in my world today, I would make it tropical all year long, so we could all lay out on the beach in the nice weather, swim in the warm water, and enjoy the hot sun all year long. I know it would make me feel a thousand times better, and refreshed. I feel like when the weather is nice everyone is happier, and if I had the power to make everyone enjoy themselves, then I would absolutely do it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36353946.post-55373807494518712512008-05-08T21:22:00.000-04:002008-05-08T21:22:00.000-04:00If I were one of the fairies in Midsummer, I would...If I were one of the fairies in Midsummer, I would want to be and have the powers of Puck, Oberons right hand man. Puck like a little kid at heart, he plays jokes on the “mortals,” and does so for His own and Oberons amusement. What Puck does to promote such humor is he can change shapes and sizes into anything he desires. “I jest to Oberon and make him smile… Sometime for a three-foot stool mistaketh me, Then slip I from her bum, down topples she.” (18) Puck is saying how he could do things like pretend to be a stool and when someone sits on the stool he turns back into a fairy and the person falls. It is this crude humor that I myself might find enjoyment to, messing with peoples minds and making fools out of them for fun would bring amusement to me and the people around me, which is why I would choose to be like Puck if I were a fairy.<BR/> - Mike R, P. 6Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36353946.post-16443101495483436772008-05-08T20:59:00.000-04:002008-05-08T20:59:00.000-04:00If I had the power of a fairy, I would use the pot...If I had the power of a fairy, I would use the potion of love. In the book Oberon uses the power to make Titania to fall in love with the first thing she sees. Puck is told to use this power to make the Athenians love each other. Like Oberon, I wouldn't use my power as a curse. Instead I would use it for good. I would use it to create mutual love between people so there is less jealousy, hatred and envy in the world. Besides, the romantic love, I would use it to change people's hate. If people are prejudiced, I would make them realize other people's point of view and feel sympathy for them. I would make the richest people in the world have sympathy for the starving people so they would donate some of their money. If money could make a person "happy", why not make hundreds of people happy instead of one man? I would also use it to stop wars that are occurring all around the world. I would make them realize the great impacts the war is creating and make them create an agreement and settle down. I think this power would make all the people happy in their lives because everyone need feel beloved in order to be happy. Also, the world be a much better place if there were no war.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36353946.post-79892386503187798512008-05-08T20:57:00.000-04:002008-05-08T20:57:00.000-04:00If I were to be a fairy and allowed one specific p...If I were to be a fairy and allowed one specific power to use I believe I would like ability over time the most. I know the fairies have the ability to alter time because Oberon tells Puck, after Titania leaves, to scour the world and find a flower within forty minutes. As Puck illustrates by coming back in time with the flower that fairies have ability to affect the flow of time. With such a power I would try to help people with decisions. I would try to help people make good decisions by showing them how things will turn out, but only if they are deserving. In a way it is like the ghosts in the book, A Christmas Carol. I will be showing them how their behaviors now will impact themselves and those important to them in the future. Also, in some cases I may be benevolent and help a person running late by turning time back for them. So all in all having the ability to affect the flow of time could be very beneficial to me and the people I help.<BR/><BR/>Dom D Period 4Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36353946.post-33407789989609890312008-05-08T20:37:00.000-04:002008-05-08T20:37:00.000-04:00If I were presented with the mystical powers of a ...If I were presented with the mystical powers of a fairy, I would use the powers of shape shifting.

That is a wonderful person to have in your life; a person who makes you smile and laugh and happy. They relieve stress and make life enjoyable. Also, Puck causes mischief and to have a devil side as a fairy would be a lot of fun! In lines 39-42, a fairy calls Puck on his trouble. He goes on in lines 47-56 to talk about his mischief. We learn he can change forms and sizes. That would be so handy for me! I could play pranks on my opponents if I loose in tennis or I could get back at my brother for eating my brownies for class!

This power is exhibited in the play when Titania, Queen of the Fairies, proclaims: “And through this distemperature, we see the seasons alter…Is, as in mockery, set; the spring, the summer, the childling autumn, the angry winter…From our debate, from our dissensions; We are their parents and original.” (20-21) If I had the powers to control the weather and seasons, many things would change in the world. I could bring rain to any part of the world experiencing draught, I could bring out the sun to grow crops in the most barren parts of the world, and I could use the clouds to provide relief from the sun’s harsh rays. I would help remedy global warming by increasing cloud cover in areas with holes in the ozone layer. My sun and rain could grow crops to feed the starving, or warm up the chilliest place. I could alter the seasons, so there would be no fear of dying from frostbite or heat stroke. However, as I am human, I would probably use my powers for selfish reasons at times. I could create destructive hurricanes to destroy the settlements of my enemies, or create dust storms of biblical proportions to blanket whichever region I wanted in darkness. I could cause the sun to beat upon the planet so much that the ground would crack, streams would dry up, and wood would become so dry that it would spontaneously combust. Lastly, I could blanket the planet in ever lasting winter, so nothing new could grow or succeed. It would be dangerous to have this power however, especially knowing what we know now about the climate. I would have to be careful not to meddle too much, as it could lead to the complete annihilation of the planet. And, after all, where would be the fun in that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
