Premonitions

Well i dont exactly have premonitions, or dreams so i'll talk about a friend of mine. Her name is annoimous because well she told me not to use her name. But on night she had a bad dream about her boyfriend and her breaking up. People told her that it wouldnt last but it did and she loved it. But this dream came and put her on edge. She was warned from it about something bad happening but she neglected it beocause she didnt want it to be true.
In the end she broke up with him bacuse he cheated on her. She listened to the dream to a certain degree but she didnt make any actions just on the dream, for it was a dream.
Your gut feeling can obvious effect your dreams but who listened to them. My friend did what she should have, She checked it out without making any irrational decisions.

Shakespeares Stories

Shakespeare as long with other writers from earlier ages have influenced today's movies. One example is, a Cinderella Story. Although is is really based off of a Disney picture, it has some concepts inspired by Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. It has the basic star crossed lover theme and isn't totally like a Shakespeare play but takes some concepts. So to what degree? Well a moderate degree.
A Cinderella story is about two people who talk through email and text, and definitely like each other. But they are from different worlds and Sam the main girl is to scared to tell him who he is. In Romeo and Juliet, the title characters are also in love and are from different worlds, and are enemies. So Sam and Austin and star crossed lovers like Romeo and Juliet.

romeo and juliet, or the love and tradgedy book



This is my best friend and my brother. Kristina loves konner extremely, and the more konner is around her the more he likes her to. This is the perfect romeo and juliet for two reasons. Romeo and juliet had love at first sight, even when they did not, but the way they look in eachotheres eyes, that is the same. Another thing is that, every time they (being romeo and juliet, and kristina and konner) are around eachother, emotions flow out of them like a countinuous fountain. They are adorble.

Romeo, the average teen ager

Romeo is an average teenager. Based on act one he is just like anyboy. He is in love with a woman, Rosaline, and because on the one sided love, he becomes depressed and sad. But then, like any boy, he saw a girl named juliet, and because of her beauty, he began to cared for her dearly. I think romeo would look like an avereage boy. Maybe medium heighth, brown hair, green eyes. But a little different, well because hes Romeo. I think he would be shy actually, just because if he met anyone romotely pretty he would be. but thats just my opinion.

Romeo is like my friend Austin. Because once he sees someone pretty, he is adomatically in love.

mrs gilamn i will finish libaraian is kicking us out.

Shakespeares writing

Shakespeare includes mid summers night dream, romeo and Juliet, various poems, and many other pieces of writing. All of which are in the more or less same style of writing. We watched a mid summers night dream last week and the writing was hard to understand. The movie helped a lot because by the body language of the actors/actresses you could see there physical emotion which related to there words. The language of Shakespeare is magical. The way it rhymes and flows is simply wonderful. His plot to the play was complex but simple enough to understand and the setting was very intricate. He used Athens which is this amazing place with great setting. The setting was great but the characters and their point of view, and their feeling really made the story. Without Shakespeare's unique sense of writing literature would be different today.

Romeo and Juliet is expose to be this tragic about to lovers who aren't expose to love each other. Ive heared many versions of this play and have seen many plays. All are basically the same but in each one is different but the characters or the setting, but the plot is the same. I know the basic plot two people who aren't expose to love each other one of higher class, then the girl is asleep and romeo thinks she is dead so he kills himself, and when Juliet awakes she finds her love dead and kills herself. The story is complicated and tragic. I love reading plays in class, so I'm really excited. I also live the writing of Shakespeare so the combination of doing something i like in English should be great. I will be enjoying it much more than you Mrs. Gilman :]]]

POETRY OUT LOUD!

My poem is called trees. The relation between me and this poem starts at the title. Trees. First green is my favorite color and it basically comes from trees. I've always been a hippy in that way for some reason, for i love trees. Some thing about them just make happy.
Then then the first stanza,
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.

Thats like just how amazing trees are, and you'll never see anything lovelier. I love trees i think they are totally lovely and i love how the poet, Joyce Kilmer, states that from the beginning.
And the second stanza,
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;

Now this is a really weird line but if you really think about it, it means nothing more than the roots going in to the earth, just in an odd way. This reminds me of a child which is weird but like a tree one person on the earth or child, but theres so many more than just them, sucking all the nutrients from the earth like a mother feeding her child, or a tree feeding into the soil.
And the third stanza,
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

this is just like the second stanza in the way that it resembles a human.
and so on, its the true meaning and how it resembles things that i like about this poem.
Its about trees but also life, creatures.
Almost a metaphor, not quite.

For this competition i took mrs. gilmans advice in the sense of going through it and paraphrasing it just so i could really understand it. Which is going to make a major difference when I'm reciting it. Memorization as well, because there is great imagery, rhyme, and meter its easy for me to picture what the poem is talking about and then getting the beat in my head.
