RJ in modern culture

In modern culture references to the love story of Romeo and Juliet is found every where. I have come across several instances and here they are. First off Romeo and Juliet is used a lot in the musical departments. One song that i can think of that isn't Taylor Swift is Dire Straits - Romeo and Juliet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tim4VzHUUyQ. This song talks about all the struggles of the Love between Romeo and Juliet. Another reference to Romeo and Juliet is there are many stories around the world of real life people having to deal with the struggles of loving someone but not being allowed to marry them because of their parents. One example of this is in this article.http://www.citytv.com/toronto/citynews/news/local/article/17965--real-life-romeo-and-juliet-tragedy-sparks-sadness-overseas. In this article it talks about how love can cause people to do drastic things like in Romeo and Juliet. The last reference I see quite a lot is that the love story of Romeo and Juliet is used in cartoons or TV shows. This is probably because a lot of people know the story and can realate to it. Also the play itself is used a lot in TV shows for school plays. This is also because the fa mouse balcony scene can be shown and most everyone knows where that comes from. Romeo and Juliet is still very much alive in modern culture.

My true calling

When I first decided to do honors English i was at first a little hesitant about if could do it and how hard it would be. Now that we are more than half way done with the school year I did make the right choice by taking honors. I have enjoyed reading all the great books and i have learned i have become decent at English. I have learned even after loosing a solid 5 to 8 points a book report from grammar that i am pretty good at DGP. This year has been amazing with the wonderful teacher and students and I think i have finally found out what I want to become when I get older. When people ask me what I want to do with my life I can give them and answer before this year I would always say that i was keeping my options open. And now in the midst of all the grammar, reading, essays, and all the fun activities I have found that I want to become a janitor. I don't know what gets me about it. Maybe it is the smell of the liquid soap or board cleaners. Or is it the pride and joy of seeing my face shinning off a the glistening surface of a desk. Dirt and desk doodles beware because one day in the future (all thanks to Mrs. Gilman) I am going to come after your and put you in your place.
