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.

skit ideas

The first scene i would use for my skit would be the first encounter Pip had with Abel on the marshes. this would be good because it would show the relationship Pip and Abel had at first and it would also be humorous.

The second scene would be when Abel comes and sees Pip again later in his years and tells him he is his benefactor. this would be good because this would reveal how Pip feels at first about him being his benefactor and how he reacts.

The last scene would be when Pip fights the pale young gentleman. this would be action packed and it would be humorous. Also this would show how Pip and Herbert first met.

great expectation queston

although quite a few parts are confusing in the book one that sticks out recently in my head is when pip went back for Mrs. Joe's funeral and when he went for a walk and talked with biddy. the quote is on page 306 in the attic book at the end of chapter 35 "... I reflected what an unkidness, what injury, what an injustice Biddy had done me." My question is what was the injustice that she had done to pip. I was confused about this because pip hadnt seen Biddy in awhile and how had she did something to him.

foto post.

I chose this picture for my blog because it symbolizes two things in pips life in the novel. first off it shows how pip wwas given two paths to choose from either move to London and become a gentalman and leave everything he has ever know or stay with his family and things he is familiar with. The second reason i chose this was because the fork showed how he was at first not accustom to the ways of a gentleman and didnt know things about how t hold the silver wear and things.

great expectations

Pip is reafering to the day when he went to Mrs. Havishams house to go and play for her. This day altered pip greatly. Before he went to go play he was a very immocemt, nieve, little boy who was content with his life of being th "son" of a blacksmith. When he went to Mrs. Havishams he changed by now he is aware about things like love, the heartbreaks, and also the differences between common and uncommon people. After becoming aware of these things he is now on a new path of his chain and now he not at all content with his futer of being an aprentence to a blacksmith but now he is ashamed of it and he wants to become uncommon like Mrs. Havisham and Estella.

The event that set me on the the chain that i am currently was when i me my firs friend. before i met my first friend i didn't know that much about showing compasion, caring for somone else, and sharing. but after meeting myfriend i was very wing to share and i also found out taht when i sowed compasion to someone else the usually gave i back in return. This leads to my characteristics no because i amvery considerate, helpful ad caring toward other people.

the importance of being ernest.

for my concrete details i am going to be useing are: first when lady bracknell is talking with jack and saying how he is not on the list of elidigble men. then my comentaryies for it will be how it shows that the kids dont get to pick who they marry. then how it shows that maarrige is a bussiness. my next concrete detail is the saying that divorces are made in heaven. then my comentaries for it will be that it shows that once you are married you are married untill one of the people dies. and that it also shows how divorces were looked down upon during the victorian era. my last concrete detail is when cecily is talking about how she wants to marry ernest because of his name. dthen my comentaries for it will be that it shows how marrige is not always about love but simple things like names. then this also shows that marriges are a thing that help raise your social standings by how cecily feels bad for any marrided to someone not named ernest is kind of one uping everyone else which would raise her social standings.

then for my three fold transitional sentence will be: Men, women, each have their expectations set by society which may be good or bad, but they are also brought to each other through society.
