Characters in Romeo and Juliet

The character in Act one that i am going to try to desribe is Nurse. Nurse is a very outgoing lady. She seems very loud and somewhat annoying but very caring. I think that she would look like a grandma. She seems like a pretty cool lady and i am pretty sure if we met than we would get along just fine. She would be kinda like me in a way because i can be outgoing and loud but i am very caring just like her.

Another person she reminds me of is my grandma. My grandma is VERY outgoing and doesnt care what people think of her and i love that about her. She can be very loud and somewhat annoying but in a funny way. I love my grandma to death and she cares about everyone even if she doesnt know them. She is the most caring person i know. Nurse reminds be very much of my grandma because they believe in the same things and care about their family.

Premonitions

Ok, well i dont think that i have many premonitions but i guess if you call sometimes guessing what might happen and it comes true, a premonition, than i have premonitions. I have bad feelings about things but i wouldnt call that a premonition. My bad feelings come from weird places and weird people.

I remember one time when i had a dream in 8th grade that the next day in english i would have a conversation with this person about cupcakes. The next day i was talking to that person and we started talking about our favorite foods and that person's favorite food was cupcakes and i totally had deja vu and i sort of knew that that person was going to say cupcakes.

Shakespearen Stories

Shes the man relates to the love triangle thing. A girl named Viola loves soccer and her loser boyfriend doubts that she can play boys soccer so she dresses up as her brother sebastian and goes to the college that sebastian is supposed to go to and meets a guy named duke that is in love with a girl named olivia who is really in love with sebastian but she doesnt know that it is really viola as sebastian. Everything gets mixed up but in the end everyone hooks up with the person that they are supposed to get with.

This story is most likely influenced By Shakespeares Twelfth night. This has the same peoples names in it and has the same plot. The same things happen in the twelfth night that happen in shes the man. They even have the character named viola in twelfth night play as her twin brother sebastian just like in shes the man.

Anticipating Shakespeare

My reaction to watching the movie was that it was a pretty good movie. I understood what i saw pretty well but some of the things that i heard i couldnt really follow or understand. By the end of the movie i started to understand what they were talking about and what the whole movie was about. My perception of shakespeare is that he is a very complex dude. He uses words that if we used them now a days people would look at us weird.

My prior knowledge about romeo and juliet is that it is a really romantic story. Pretty much all i have heard is that two unlike people fall insanley in love with each other and that they die at the end becuase they feel that they should die if they cant be together. I think that i will like it a lot because i love love stories and i like what i have heard about this story so i will hopefully enjoy the next two months just as much as you will.

winter break extra credit

Winter break was really fun this year. I went sledding with my friend. The road was covered in snow so my friends dad got his truck out and he tied a rope to the sled and then tied it to the back of his truck and off we went. It was a blast. I also got to go horseback riding. It was cold but fun. Another thing i did was go shopping at the mall with friends. There was a lot of people there but i got to buy some new clothes with the money i got from Christmas. I had a good Christmas this year but most of my family didnt come down so it wasn't as good of a Christmas as i imagined it would be.

My expectations for high school

My expectations for high school are that i get good grades. I will do that by turning in all of my homework and paying attention. By getting good grades i wanna get into a good college so thats another one of my expectations for high school.

What i want to get out of high school is that i learn new things that will help me throughout my life. Some of the things that i do in my classes i think to myself why are we doing this, this wont help me when i am older but i am hoping to learn that those stupid things that i think are dumb and have no point will help me when i am older.

The Road not taken

The road not taken by robert frost has many meanings. The one that stood out to me most was that sometimes when life hands you two decisions, you sometimes have to take a risk just so that you can experience new things in your life. When robert frost took the less traveled road, he was taking a risk and experiencing new things. " I took the one less traveled by" stanza 4 line 4.

This can relate to me the most because sometimes i take risky choice not knowing the outcome just so that i can experience new things. I wish i could experience both of the choices but as robert frost stated in his poem " I am sorry i could not travel both" stanza 1 line 2.
