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

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.

Last Theory Right And Wrong

                   I have finished the book Forever by Maggie Stiefvater. This is the last book in the series starting from Shiver, then Linger and finally Forever. On my last post, I said that that the last book would be the opposite story of Linger. I am actually wrong and right at the same time for the following reasons.

            One way that I am right is that in the beginning of the book, Grace transforms again to human after months. Before she was a wolf, which she transformed in the last book. This is the opposite because she transformed to the opposite of wolf, human.

            One way that I am wrong is that the opposite characters didn't transform. When Grace usually transforms, Sam transforms after. In this book, he didn't transform. He found out that he could transform whenever he wanted, but he didn't want to for one main reason. To be with Grace forever. 

           At the end of the book, both of them stayed together, and they will forever. I really recommend this series to anyone who like romance and fantasy. People who liked the Twilight series should read this because this series is much better than the Twilight series.

Oppisote Stories?

             I have finished the book Linger by Magie Steifvater three days ago. I noticed something about this book that makes me compare to the first book Shiver. Linger is like the opposite story of Shiver for two reasons. Both books are good and with the same characters, but only opposite stories.

            One way is that in Shiver, Sam turns to a human being. Before that transformation, he was a wolf. In Linger, Grace turns to a wolf at the end of the book. Before, she was a human. It's the opposite characters and opposite transformations.

            The other way is that in Shiver, Sam and Grace fall in love with eachother. In Linger, Grace's best friend falls in love with Cole, Sam's wolf relative who also turned to human in this book Linger.  Another pair fall in love, but also opposite of Sam and Grace.

           There are other ways to show that my statement is right, but these two are more stronger evidence. Linger and Shiver are like opposite stories. Will Forever (last book of series) be opposite stories too? I predict yes because if the second book was opposite, then the same thing would happen to the next book.

Can Humans LOVE Animals?

                I am still not done with the book Linger by Maggie Stiefvater but I am almost done. Linger is the second book of Shiver which is by the same author. The main character is Sam and Grace. While reading this book, I came up with a question, is loving a werewolf the same thing as LOVING an animal? I don't think so.
           Sam used to be wolf, but when a period of time passed, he eventually became human. As he was human, he met Grace and they both fell in love with each other. If Sam was still a wolf, Grace wouldn't have known even Sam. Sam is a human now and was human when he met Grace. So Grace fell in love with a human.
          There is another character introduced in this book named Cole. Cole used to be a wolf like Sam. After a period of time has passed, he eventually became human like Sam. He was a relative of Sam. When Cole transformed, he met Isabel. Now they both are in love. Cole met Isabel as human, like Sam. That means Isabel fell in love with a human.
           These two examples from the book proves my answer. Isabel and Grace fell in love with humans because at that time, Sam and Cole were human already. I would highly recommend Shiver (book 1), Linger (book 2), and Forever (book 3).
