I think this picture relates to Romeo and Juliet because of her expression. You can just see in her face that she is completely unconditionally in love with this man. And that's how it is in the book too, because even though Romeo killed Juliet's cousin she is head over heels for him. Also the setting of this picture reminded me of Romeo and Juliet because it is kind of old and romantic.

Romeo and Juliet: scene 2

Something that really stood out to me in scene 2 was, when Romeo went back to see juliet and they declared their love for each other, and Juliet asked Romeo to say "those three words" and told him if he wanted to marry her he should send a letter the next day and they would wed. I found all of this quite interesting because they had only known each other for a day before they decided they were in love with each other and wanted to be married. 

I think it will affect the future of the book because, they will maybe look back on it and all the possibly careless decisions they made, and maybe wish that they had waited longer before getting married. Obviously, I have never been in  a situation like the one that Romeo and Juliet are in currently. 

Juliet!

I am choosing to describe Juliet, because I feel like if I were to relate to one character it would be her. She is a very polite obedient daughter, and a loyal friend to everyone who lives around her. And she is everything Romeo could ever want! She has a lot of personality, that she expresses to the ones she is really close to.

I think if I were to meet her in person, she would be really interesting and I would just want to hang out with her all day because there would be so much I would love to ask her, and just find out about her as a person. I think I can relate to her in a few ways, some that I can't explain very well. Just the way she is sometimes reminds me of myself sometimes.

Premonitions~

One time, a long time ago I had a dream and I was in a rain forest making ham sandwiches and all the sudden this baby popped up out of know where. At first I was really confused, and then it started talking to me. It hopped up onto the table where I was cutting an onion and stared at me for a long time. Than it threw up all over my pants!! It was disgusting.

The next day my brother got sick and threw up all over the floor, which was also disgusting. I don't think there was anything I could have done to stop what happened to my brother though. He gets sick a lot and it's always disgusting. He's a boy, boys stick their dirty hands in their mouths and never take showers. It's no surprise to me that he got sick that day.

movies!

I love the movie She's The Man because it is based of the Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare. In the movie it is more modern, and Viola (the main character) plays soccer but her boyfriend thinks she can't play better than any guy, so she decides to impersonate her twin brother and attend his school to be on the soccer team to prove to her family and friends she is capable of the challenge. When she arrives Olivia starts to fall in love with him (her) but the guy Viola is rooming with, has the biggest crush on Olivia. Meanwhile Viola is in love with Duke who has a crush on Olivia. It's a really long confusing movie with a twist of modern comedy.

I think it relates to Shakespeare because of the love octagon, and all the little things that happen on the side just make it more funny. I like when people make movies based off of older movies that used to be really popular because teens always want to watch the newer ones. That way we can learn about what used to be a really big deal a long time ago but in a more fun way version.

Shakespear!

When we first started A midsummer nights dream, I really didn't understand how they were talking and the language Shakespear created. But once ms Gilman told us that the whole movie and they way they talked was because it was all one big poem. Once I had that in my head it was easier to understand what they were saying. And it really isn't that complicated they just use a lot of "thy", "thou", and "the."

I really likes the movie though, the story was really interesting and a little bit hard to follow which made everyone pay attention. After about 30 minutes of the movie I really started to understand the love triangle, it's so confusing though if you don't pay any attention. I liked the plot because the movie wasn't very predictable, which made it more interesting to watch. I am really excited for Romeo and Juliet, because I have heard so much about over the years from my mom, teachers, friends, and family.
