Question Example:
"Why does The RZA breaks his book into seven "Pillars" instead of chapters?"
- Ms. Leanne
Answer Example:
"Throughout his life, The RZA studied the Supreme Mathematics of Gods and Earths and many world religions. From these studies, he noted that both the Supreme Mathematics and the religions he connected to considered the number seven as divine and symbolic of the consciousness. When it came to writing The Tao of Wu, The RZA decided to divide his text into "Seven Pillars of Wisdom." Each pillar reflects a key turning point in his life that he wishes to share with his audience. He does this because he hope his readers will learn from his experiences and connect to or be inspired by his personal journey on the path to enlightenment."
- Ms. Leanne

When did RZA know they had lost ODB? How did this affect him?
ReplyDeleteRZA knew that they had lost ODB when he realized that ODB lost his sight and his understanding of himself. RZA says that ODB had a good understanding of himself and the world. The change in ODB's actions proved that he was no longer himself. This upset RZA, because he and many other people in ODB's life did nothing to stop ODB from disrespecting himself, and others. RZA does not believe that allowing ODB to do what he did even though they knew that the consequences would be negative was not wise of him. RZA and other people that cared about ODB didn't pay attention; they didn't let ODB know what he was doing was wrong. Part of being wise is acting on your knowledge and understanding, and RZA's lack of action is what he is most upset about

ReplyDeleteIn this pillar RZA creates an alter ego for himself. What does he call the alter ego, and why does he create it?
ReplyDeleteHis alter ego was Bobby Digital and he created it to have a partying side as well as a studying side. This was import to him because he felt like a superhero.

RZA's alter ego was Bobby Digital. RZA created this alter ego for himself so he can escape the pressures of being RZA the hip hop artist. RZA was a rapper a creative and grown man. Bobby Digital on the other hand was the kid inside RZA who could still have fun. RZA liked this because he knew he wasn't being owned by anyone. Another reason to why RZA created this alter ego for himself was because, he had watched his cousin's (Russel) alter ego take him away from everyone and he thought why not make an alter ego that has good benefits to himself.

DeleteRZA had two alter egos from what I have researched. Bobby Digital & The RZArector. Bobby Digital was formed to show his friendly and fun side. The RZArector was created to show his evil side he took up this name with his former rap group "The Gravediggaz" this was the side that showed you he can be as bad as anyone. Overall RZA has 3 personalities one for his happiness (Bobby Digital), one for his spiritual beliefs (RZA) and last one to prove a point (RZArector). - Pavithra
DeleteThe RZA's alter ego was Bobby Digital. He created this alter ego so that he would not tarnish his name The RZA and to go out and acted like all the other rappers to make his next album a hit.

If you were RZA and were a successful Hip Hop artist would you make the same decision and go to the record company to buy your name back for 1.2 million dollars? Despite the fact that you have a lot of money to spend ? Explain your answer.
ReplyDelete-Thulasi
Of course I would have done the same thing as RZA; if I wasn't happy with something I’d do something about it. After becoming rich and famous I wouldn't want anyone to own me nor my name, I’d take pride in taking back what aided me with my success after all the hardships and struggles of the journey in life. The money would mean nothing to me but having something I could call my own would be the most important thing, especially considering the fact that I'd have a lot of money to spend.

How did RZA explain his fame ? Give examples.
ReplyDeleteEleni
Rza explain his fame like being a superhero. So he created himself a superhero whose called bobby digital that came from his alter ego. Someone who has special powers, A double Identity, and Maybe a secret weakness or two.

After losing two people of great importance in his life, what does RZA truly realize? Why does he say “My speech at Dirty’s funeral was different from the one I gave at my mom's.”? Explain why his thoughts after each of their deaths differ, give examples.
ReplyDeleteStacy.D
Despite the obstacles he faced in his life ,how was he still able to accomplish his Goal?
