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.

Fire and ice by robert frost

Some say the world will end in fire
some say in ice
but what i've tasted of disire
i hold with those who favor fire
but i think i know enough of hate
to say the destruction ice
is also nice and would sufice

the poem goes along these likes and really speaks something to me. But it starts at the title
Fire and Ice
thats how alot of things are alot of the time. Yes or no. Fire or ice. hot or cold. this way or the total opposite. Not always a good thing but just how it is, how life can be.
then the first line. Some say the world will end in fire. This is like exactly how it sounds some say the world will end in fire. Fire can mean all sorts of things. Disire, fire, heat, wrong, hell, red, maddness, ect.
And some say in ice. Ice can be pertrayed as other things as well. Inevitableness, coldness, frozen, but mainly inevitableness for me.
Then it says from what ive tasted of disire, i hold with those who favor fire. This to me means that I have even done wrong and i know it "tastes" good so who else wouldn't? So i agree with fire because its alot ot resist.
But because i know enough of hate or because i know its wrong
to say the destruction ice, would also be nice and would sufice, this, the last three lines to me mean that because i do know that maybe the world would end better inevitably instead of from our doing and that would be nice and if others woulds see that to i would in fact happen or sufice.

i do think about how the world will end but its kinda the opposite for me. I believe the would will end in fire because of our wrong doing and nobody is going to get the whole world to listen so it would end inevitably so why even think it would be nice?
yes it would be nice but we humans are greedy little creatures and most of us dont even worry about the world.
Fire in my opinion could also be polution becase it is ending the world and its evil for say.
but for the poet to even get his hopes up for the inevitabiliy is silly.

the movie

the movie was kinda odd in some scenes. Especially the court room scene. The court room setting was how i imagined it but different in some ways. I actually imagined it a little less crowded but not neeeisarally smaller maybe bigger so it apeared less crowded. also mayella was kinda a phycopath, minus the kinda. Man she was crazy, i mean i knew she would have weird facial expressions but she was tweaking out. i know i was not the only person who was wondering what she was on...
joking!
but she was a little out of the ordinary. I would have imagined her like that if she actually did get raped but she wasnt soooo.
Also i imagine tom a little smaller in body size. But i liked his voice and how he projected at the exact right moments. good job tom
Then there is mr. gilmer. He was just like i imagined rude and very rasist. He porttrayed his character very good in the sense that he was cruel and rasist, and thats who he was as a person.
This novel would mean alot to someone who had a family in that situation and its very important im sure to someone who suffered like these characters did in their own lives.
