Characters in Romeo and Juliet

Well the character I like most and stands out the most to me would be Juliet in alot of ways. To me she seems like she could be kind of stubborn in the book. But in the movie she seems very quiet and respectful, like at the party she as quiet but kind of sneaky so I don't really have certain thoughts of her yet because she has shown alot of different personalities.

Sense we have already started video and seen two versions I pictured her before very elegant with curly blonde hair like Hermia or Helena from A mid Summer nights dream. But after the movie she seemed more plain and had straight hair. So my guesses from the book weren't exactly right. I think if I met her and actually hung out with her she would seem kind of boring and jsut want to talk about boys. haha. Well Whitney is boy crazy and so is Juliet, and Juliet was sneaky with Romeo an so is Whitney. SO I think they could be alike in ways.

Premonitions

Yes, I have feelings that something is going to happen but I never do anything about it and just think about it and when it actually happens I just regret it and wish I would have done something about it to have a different outcome. I could have asked someone about my dream and got there opinion on what I should do and not do.

I ahve had more than one premonition in my life and I think its very regular and most people have had it, its just a feeling and most people would be nervous or not think its a big deal but when it actually happens you really think back and wish you could have changed alot of the things you did.

Shakespearan stories

Well I think I'll use your idea because thats the only movie that I can think of as one of those subjects which is Shes the man. In Shes the man the plot would be mistaken identity for sure. In this movie there is a girl that wants to go to a certain school and play soccer but its an all boys team so she can't.

In the movie the main actor acts like a boy with the way she talks and acts so she can play. Then she ends up liking one of the guys and he doesnt know that its the same person on the field and off. This would be mistaken identity because he doesnt know its the same person and she is just faking it.

Romeo and Juliet

After watching Shakespear I think I understand more about the types of films and books were getting into. The languages they spoke confused me at first but now I realize for an example when she said your too tall that actually meant your higher and better than me. Also by watching I can understand better whats going on and how they act. I really like these types of movies because its a different type of language and its interesting to learn more about it.

I am very excited to begin Romeo and Juliet. I've heard from alot of different people that they loved it and it was fun. Also hearing songs, watching movies, and watching plays will also help understand the book. This book has more meaning than most books and it is a love story which is something I would be interested in learning about

Worst part of Animal Farm.

I thought the fact that Mr. Jones left all of those animals at the farm by themselves was very sad. After working those animals and letting them out in the cold and then he turns his back on them and leaves them to run the farm on there own. That would be hard to maintain a farm with just animals and have enough food. I don't think that the animals deserve to be left and on there own. 

When the men came and hurt all of the animals they also killed some of them including Boxer. It was mean enough to kill Boxer but to then take him to a Glue factory instead of the hospital was crucial. Boxer was a good animal and took control and didn't deserve it. I think that its sad that the rest of the animals have to live with that now and it will be harder without him because he had things in order.

Animal Farm

So far I actually think this book is really confusing. Especially sense I don't know like anything about the Russian Revolution and all the characters relate to a person from it and I don't know any of them. I also don't really see a meaning about this book because its just turning the Russian Revolution into animals which I think is a waste of time. You might as well just read the Russian revolution.

But at the same time it kind of helps me understand the Russian Revolution more because History is boring and I don't pay attention but it makes me pay attention more. I like that it is very different and shows alot of different personalities with all of the animals which we would probably never think about animals because we don't know what they think.

Expectations

Well even though high school is jsut starting I think I have a good idea on what I'm expecting to do and learn, not from just class but high school sll together. And I think I have some ideas from siblings and friends that have been through high school and have experiences. I expect for myself to not only pass high school and get good grades but complete all of the classes that need to be completed for a 4 year college and I would also like to go to law school so my grades would have to stay A's and B's.
I expect to learn the social part of life. Consisting of love, drama, and actual friends. I know drama will happen and boys will come along and I will have to deal with it, but its something I already expected and actually want to deal with to learn from my mistakes. I also don't want to do drugs, and not drink. Which who knows could happen because of pure pressure or just being dumb. I expect to gain trust from my friends and peers and know how to deal with me problems, and learn class doesn't revolve around you when you get an assignment it's your job to do it.
