I thought that Gabriela's and Sofia's blog entries were great because Gabriela used descriptive details in,"Much Ado About Nothing, But Still Something". One part when she uses details was when she said that the actors of the play were speaking through their bodies because they used a lot body language. Gabriela also elaborated on examples that backs up her thesis. In the blog post on The Boyfriend List, she puts her feelings on the example she gives like when she says that Ruby deserves a panic attack because she shouldn't have let Kim at the boy she loves.
In Sofia's blog post, I liked how she uses a lot of information on the Pablo Picasso painting like on the first paragraph, she says,''He was born in Spain on October 25, 1881, to an artistic family. He was grown up knowing art and recognizing art. As a young age, Picasso's paintings won prizes and many people were impressed and amazed by his wonderful artwork." This part of the essay already includes three pieces of information. Sofia also wrote a lot. Overall, she wrote eight paragraphs for this blog post.
For my future blogs, I would like to elaborate more on examples like Gabriela. I would also like to write more for my blogs like Sofia. I would try to both for my future blog posts to improve them.

Romeo and Juliet (Act 3)
I have finished Act 3 in Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. This act was mostly about Mercutio getting into a fight with Tybalt. It was Tybalt's fault mostly because he splashed could have stopped arguing with Mercutio, but he kept on arguing. It was kind of Mercutio's fault because he kept on arguing too.
I think Romeo did the right thing in killing Tybalt.
One reason is because he killed Mercutio. I don't know if the stabbing was on purpose o by accident' Either way, Tybalt should have stopped fighting.
Another reason is because he caused other trouble and got mad easily. If he didn't get stopped, he would have gotten into other fights and killed other people. He was kind of a criminal in my mind because he's a killer. I kind of hated it when he knew that he stabbed Mercutio, but just walked away.He's a careless guy.
These are the reasons of why Tybalt deserved death. I would have want revenge too, like Romeo. I someone killed someone I knew, I would want revenge, but not killing that person. I would want justice instead of me being a killer.

Much To Do About Nothing
My favorite part of the play was when the detectives were investigating about the Hero issue. It was funny and useful because the detectives solved the problem. Without them, their marriage couldn't be even done. Not even Beatrice's marriage. The detectives were important in the whole play.
My favorite thing about the play was the light shade. The back stage people were very distinct with the light shade. The light shade described mostly the mood of the scene. I also liked the moon/sun in the back because it described if it was day or night.
I really liked the play because it kind of introduces Romeo and Juliet because this play used some Shakespearean language too. It also had some issues about love like Romeo and Juliet. The settings in the play were very nice, like the tables and the beer drawer.

Romeo and Juliet (So Far)
The whole class has the read the part when Mercutio talks about Queen Mab. Mercutio talks about Queen Mab in a very elaborated way. He also describes how small she is. The way he explains Queen Mab is very long. It's almost like a speech. His speech has all the details of Queen Mab so that you can draw her. He also describes her as the Queen of love.
I can tell that Romeo is very sad because he knows that Rosaline doesn't love him, but he loves her very much. He is most likely heartbroken. He mostly expresses his sadness in words, like the part when he says, "O loving hate", and "O heavy lightness". He won't be like this until he meets Juliet, who will be is next love.
Romeo and Juliet is good so far. Some parts I don't understand because of the Shakespearean language. I don't understand I'm. Why couldn't he just do the whole play in modern English so that it would have been more easier to understand everything than getting the Shakespearean dictionary.

Romeo and Juliet (letter)
I have just finished Act 1:Scene 1. I have observed many things. One is that all the soldiers have swords almost all the time. Another is that at the beginning, two friends, Sampson and Gregory, are hanging in Verona talking about the mantigues. Another is that the mantigues and the two friends start to fight when Sampson bites his thumb.
I also found out that Romeo likes a girl that doesn't love him back. His friend, Benvolio, then tells his to look for someone else. Eventually, Romeo finds Juliet at the ball and falls in love with her.Juliet also loves him back.
Some parts of Romeo and Juliet is hard to understand because sometimes they use complex vocabulary and Shakespeare uses some words he made up. There are also some puns. I suggest you to have a Shakespeare dictionary to get a better understanding.

3 Peoms( Revised)
1. What is Life
Life is a gift,
in which our beliefs come from.
Life is something very special,
that's why we are here in this very place.
Life is good,
even though we sometimes have some bad moments.
Life is life.
2. What happens to education deffered
Does it make you stand out,
like a colorless butterfly,
or does it make life harder,
like a demon chasing you all your life.
Does it make you unhappy,
like getting minimum wage all your life for your hard work.
3. Guernica

3. Guernica
The day was beautiful,
until the surprise of the bombing,
which must've been painful,
especially to those families of the people that were once living,
but now they must've died because of this tragedy.
Everyone is panicking,
hands up and running,

screaming,
like if there would be no world in the end.

Guernica By Pablo Picasso

This painting represents the bombing in Guernica. Many people say that Pablo Picasso put hidden images of death because they found a total of 2 images of death in this painting. "Picasso's purpose in painting it was to bring the world's attention to the bombing of the Basque town of Guernica by German bombers, who were supportingthe Nationalist forces of General Franco during the Spanish Civil War."( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guernica_(painting)). This painting was made in the year 1937.
Pablo Piccaso was born in the year of 1881, Spain. He died in the year of 1973, France, at the age of 92. Picasso was very good at paintings and sculpturing. He was known as the greatest artist of the 20th century of modern art. He usually goes to Paris to do his artwork, like most artists because Paris had the most beautiful scenes. He was mostly inspired by christian sculptures. He was married twice in his life. His first wife died because of a disease.
This painting shows the horror people are experiencing during the bombing in Guernica. There are people panicking in this painting. I would also panic because I would already think that I'm going to die because there is bombings everywhere in the city. Bombings do kill a lot of people.
