Romeo and Juliet

I like the Romeo and Juliet book, but its sometimes very hard for me to understand what they are saying. Like the puns, when I read them I don't really get them. I understood this one because it was obvious, Sampson says "My naked weapon is out."(34)
I like when sampson says "I will bite my thumb at them, which is disgrace to them if they bear it." (43) and then Abram asks him if he bites his thumb at them and Sampson backs away. i thought that was very cowardly.

I felt sorry for Romeo when he likes Roseline but she doesn't want anything with Romeo. Romeo tells Benvolio that he is "a sick man in sadness makes his will--- a word ill urged to one that is so ill. In sadness, cousin, I do love a woman." (210-212) "Well in that hit you miss. She'll not be hit with Cupid's arrow. She hath Dian's wit, and, in strong proof of chasity well armed, from love's weak childish bow she lives uncharmed..." (217-219)

I like Benvolio because he always tries to make peace with the people around him. Like when the fight occured between Tybalt, Romeo, and Mercutio. Benvolio desribes the scene of the crime and how it happened. " Tybalt, here slain, whom Romeo's hand did slay. Romeo that spoke him fair, bid him bethink how nice the quarrel was, and urged withal your high displeasure...." (160 ) I like that Benvolio could have lied and said that Tybalt and Mercutio killed themselves and not told that Romeo was involved but he prefferd to tell the truth.

I dont like Lady Capulet because she doesnt show motherly love. She practically gave Juliet away to the Nurse. In the way that the Nurse was the lady who fed and took care of juliet. " For i had then laid wormwood on my dug, sitting in the sun under the dovehouse wall. My lord and you were then at Mantua." (28-30)

Juliet is a very smart young girl and if i were her i wouldn't let my parents force me to marry a guy that i barely now and that im practically in love or in her case married with another guy. I would have told my parents because if my parents really loved me they would accept it and not care about what other people think. " Marry, my child, early next thursday morn the gallant, youg man, and noble gentleman, The County Paris, at saint Peter's Church shall happilly make thee a joyful bride." (116-120)

I like that Lord Capulet is thiughtful in wanting to give his only child the happiness that she needs, but trying to force her to be wed to a guy she hardly knows, i think is kida thoughtless. "I tell the what: get thee to Church o' Thursday, or never after look me in the face." (167-168)

That's what i think of this book right now, i may change my mind later. I got to go now. I hope your bored of reading my dull comments on Romeo and Juliet. OH and Mr. Locke i did post a comment on broters of fate but i still know nothing about this person because ive never met him before. I havent even heard anyone speak of him.

This post was brought to you by my computer and the Sesamestreet show. Which by the way is not gay, i heard on the news that people were saying that Sesamestreet was gay.

My days

Hey guys whats up? Me nothin' just chillin' . Well i got to say something but i dont know if it will make you guys think im wired. But ill go ahead and tell ya'll. Well i've been feeling very okward because one minute i feel sad and then the next i feel happy. Manuel made a word up for what im feeling, he called it sappy.It means sad and happy for the slow people out there. Anyways ive kinda noticed that my feelings rub off on people. When im hypper my close friends get hyper too. When im sad they get sad too. Sometimes i think its cool but then when we all feel sad theres no one to cheer us up. I think all this emotional stuff comes from the stress ive been in, i hardly get enough sleep. I dont want to get into detail of what im stressing over, but lets just say its troubling me. Anyways to move off of me and on to other people. (Mr. Locke who is brothers of fate? i liked one of the posts that he made; it really caught my attention...) Anyways i just made you read this for no good reason. I got to go now.

Stay tune for another episode of Smiley's life, which should really be changed to Moodys life!!!!
This is brought to you by the letter S and the number 2. See ya lator aligator...or should i say aligators...

Great Expectations

Here's a sentence that i think summarizes what Pip feels about his whole life. "When I woke up in the night like - Camilla - I used to think, with a weariness on my spirits, that i should have been happier and better if i had never seen Miss Havisha's face, and had risen to manhoodcontent to be partners with Joe in the honest old forge." (pg. 302)

I think that Pip has a point because if he had'nt met Miss. Havisham he would have grown updifferently. But i truly believe that no matter if he was a rich person or a poor person he would have still been wishing something in his life would'nt have happened.

" o the many nights and days through which the unquiet spirit within me haunted that housewhen Estella lived there! Let my body be where it would, my spirit was always wandering, wandering, wandering, about that house. (334)
This reminds me of the typicall lovesick teenager, but Pip is'nt a teenager anymore.

" 'It's all right, dear boy!' said Provis coming forward, with hiss little clasped black book, and then addressing himself to Herbert. 'Take it take in your right hand. Lord strike him dead on the spot, if you split in any way sumever. Kiss it!' "(375)
This confused me because Provis hasn't even talked to Herbert and already he's making Herbert take an oath as if he were on trial or something.

" ' I am not a going to tell you short and handy, i'll put it at once into a mouthful of English. In jail and out of jail, in jail and out of jail, in jail and out of jail.' "(382)
This has made me wonder what he's been doing all this time that has gotten him in jail so many times. It's very hard to imagine someone in jail so much who has helped someone else become a gentleman or even have money at all.

" ' It seems,' "said Estella very calmly," 'that there are sentiments, fancies----I don't know how to call them----which I am not able to comprehend. When you say you love me, I know what you mean, as a form of words; but nothing more. You address nothingin my breast, you touch nothing there.' " (400)
I would have been heart broken if someone ever told me that.

Anyways that is all I have to say right now. What do you think Mr. Locke was that nice for Estella to clear that out for Pip?

Great Expectations

So I've been reading Great Expectations and I'm almost finished. I have past the part where Pip found out that his convict is the one who made him a gentleman. He is upset because he thinks that he's been living in a lie. He is in debt with the convict because the convict has been working in order to create Pip into a gentleman.

I belive that Pip, in a way, should be greatful that the convict has made him who he is. Even though he has been desieved in beliveing that it was Ms. Havisham who did it. I feel sorry for Pip because he loves Estella so much but she does not love him back. She is going to get married to Drummle, the person that Pip despises.

What do you guys think, should Pip forget about Estella and try to repay the convict's good efforts in creating Pip into a gentleman? That is what i believe that Pip should do, but of course the book has been written and i'll have to find that out later.

Mr. Locke what do you think is a better ending, the old ending or the new one?

Great Expectations

Thank you for welcoming me.
To answer Mr. Lockes qusetion. Yes i believe Pip should stay at it because in the end i believe that he'll sort of kinda get her attention and maybe even her love. Im almost finished with the book, i just got to read 20 something more chapters.
Anyways about the book, well ive past the part where he meets up with the guy that he fought one day he was in the Havisham house, they became best friends and live in the same house. Pip has a guy who helps him manage his money and even helps Ms. Havisham manage her money too. Pip goes to pubs with his best friend and Pip helps out his best friend by counting and making an estimate of how much money they have spent and figure out if their in deb. Then later on Joe, Pips old best friend and brother in law, comes to visit. He tells him about Pip's sister and about Biddy. Then after Joe left home Pip went zback to his old town to visit. He then goes to Ms. Havisham's house and Pip sees this gorgeous young lady, which was Estella, and then sees, the old lady, Ms.Havisham who is still in her yellow wedding dress with only one shoe on. Ms. Havisham tells Pip to love Estella.Then Estella goes on a walk with Pip in the garden and they remember some of the things they did a long time ago. Pip leaves the house and goes back to london and gets a letter from Estella saying she is going to go live near there and neads Pip to take her there because Ms. Havisham said she needs to be accompanied by him.

That is all for now!!

Great Expectations

Great Expectations is a good book about a young man who started off poor and later became a gentleman and fell in love with a young lady named Estella. Estella was adopted by a woman by the name of Ms. Havisham. Estella was cruel and hartless when it came to, the young man, Pip's feelings. Pip later on moved to London to become a gentleman and experience life there.
