Project checkpoint:

Taylor and I are making a movie, well a preview for Mice and Men. We will film some of it around my neighborhood and his.. and maybe film some in a more interesting setting like Lincoln Elementary, or somewhere with trees and life. We plan on having other people be in our film (family members, people from ms. Gilman's class, people from other classes, or schools and or random people we might meet off the street) 

I plan to edit the movie and create something that will be interesting and creative to everyone who watches it. We haven't had a ton of time to talk about who will be playing what sorts of rolls yet but Taylor will be starring as one of the main characters (Lenny or George) Our movie will be classy, fantastic, creative, interesting, meaningful and educational! Some possible setbacks may be the timeline (it's very short) or one of us not being able to commit completely to a few hours every couple of days. Or maybe sports (for Taylor), really there are quite a few things that could stop us from making this movie the best it possibly can be, but we will both try our hardest to accomplish what we set out to make.

Romeo and Juliet, movie post.

I chose this video because, it wasn't a scene from the movie, and it was very creative and cute! Haha I think watching different interpretations of Romeo and Juliet is really fun and changes the way you think about the book or either of the movies, because having already seen various scenes from both movies it all makes sense. Even when it's made out of lego's!

Romeo and Juliet

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.
