Skit for group two (Riana, Sebastian, Ryan, Chloe, Marissa, Kai) -
Sebastian came to Thailand to play professional basketball for the national team (all of his games are on Sundays… don’t ask about practices because he doesn’t need them). Upon arriving, he explored the city, went on hikes (and spelunking in caves), made friends, and got accustomed to his new life. His diet has consisted mainly of pad thai and green curry. Unfortunately, on August 5th, 2024 at 12:00 am, Sebastian noticed that he began urinating blood. Furthermore, he has developed a wet cough, is drooling often, and has been very physically fatigued. Over the past month, his afflictions have only grown worse and less manageable.
Born on January 14th at 6:00 am, his sun sign is Capricorn and his sixth house is in Jupiter, which means he may be predisposed to health concerns. However, on the date of the affliction, there was no planet in his sixth house. As a Capricorn with a Melancholic temperament, Sebastian thrives in cold and dry environments and is prone to anemia, dehydration, and rheumatism. Therefore, he needs to preferably be ingesting more minerals such as iron and drinking exponentially more water. Furthermore, he needs to be sleeping way more than he has been, which is only 5 hours. Based on his temperament, the nature of his illness, and his current needs, Sebastian needs to find snakeweed, as it is cold and dry and dissolves congealed blood. Godspeed.
While I originally posted a comment of my group’s skit for some extra points, I do think that this topic deserved some serious discourse for me. Since our discussion in class, I have found myself considering how everything I view and experience represents a form of similitude in one way or another. When I see my little cousin Oliver repeating phrases that I and the other ‘big kids’, my cousins, say I see it as being an example of Aemulatio, or emulation. Or, when I observe the people lying around in the North Quad next to the flowers and weeds, I see Analogy, in that both forms take on bodies with certain limbs and a head, and who both act in conjunction when stretching up at the sun. This week’s reading was perhaps one that stuck with me the most, and I am so grateful for it and the ways in which it has changed the way I see the world.
Good point about emulation...but how about astrology? Does not the body change to reflect the movement of the heavens? Or the presence of a planet in the sky? Could we call that emulation? Just playing around with this. Interesting comment!
