LOVE WARS

    "Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!/ For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night." Romeo and juliet express their love for each other in the weirdest way. Have you ever heard "love at first ". These two people didn't know each other and they just started to kissing. In the way I see it that was gross and noone should be that dumb to that. I think that people these days don't really do things the way they did it and I think that was a different way to show love.
It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear" I loved the way he discribed his love for her it shows that he really cared about her. Men these days don't really do that ethier if it was like that now I think that a lot of men will be sweeter than ever to women! William Shakespeare shows how a gentleman Romeo was to juliet.
    
Juliet:
I come, anon.—But if thou meanest not well,
I do beseech thee—

Nurse:
Madam!

Juliet:
By and by, I come—
To cease thy strife, and leave me to my grief.
To-morrow will I send.

Romeo:
So thrive my soul—

Juliet:
A thousand times good night! [Exit above]

Romeo:
A thousand times the worse, to want thy light.
Love goes toward love as schoolboys from their books,
But love from love, toward school with heavy looks.  In these words and the way I say it in the movie it showed and sound like they couldn't wait to see each other again. It really showed how much they couldn't wait to see each other again. It was like they were holding there breaths. I think that the way William Shakespeare wrote the play actually made the whole thing romantic with the worlds and the meanings. In their face expressions it showed how they felt for each other.

   The backgrounds in the movie was kind of different then regular   backgrounds in movies. For example in romance they would have like a beautiful castel or pretty garden. But for this one it had a dramatic background instead of having the castels and the pretty gardens they had mansions with a big statue cover both rivals houses. The beach  they always went to was looking poor, and the rest of the scenes were same what the same to regular scenes.

Mute

   I finished reading "Speak By: Laurie Halse" ,This book was really different because the character isn't the typical type of teenage girls (her personality). She isn't out going, she's not talkative, and she don't have no friends. Her personality is really dark and rainy. Something you should know about my character is that shes MUTE. Her name is .............. I forgot but she is really interesting even though she don't talk. In the beginnig I always had a feeling about her like she must be hiding something, because she did have friends before but now she doesn't, for a reason I'm not going to say. 
   To me I need friends I think everyone does it's hard not having friends and not expressing your feelings to no one, that sucks. She kept all her feelings in and didn't talk for anything. Something had to be wrong, wouldn't you think? This girl was and wasn't so strong, The reason she was strong was because she held herself together and showed lots of people that she don't need a friend. The reason she wasn't strong is because when she had an opportunity and she messed up by not giving two craps about anything. But other than all this she is really sad and confused. 
     The author shows a lot of emotions and bad situations that teenagers could go through. Life could be really tough and many people don't know how to get through this and they should talk to someone even if this person don't think others would believe them. It is always good to comunicate.

All star mentor!!!!!

    My first mentor text is Zarrins because her blogs are really different and unique. Her link is: 
             http://untoldstoryinsideyou.blogspot.com/
She'll tell you a part of the story and give you feedback on it but also she'll tell you how she feels about it.  Her blogs don't all sound the same and she always bring up new topics instead of repeating herself. To me her stories are really intresting, it pulls you in her writing. For example when she wrote "too much" for the book "slam" she really went all out you could hear her voice in the writing. When I read this blog it started making me wonder. Zarrin also extends her writing I give her credit for that too because that means she really gets in to her books. I could never write as long as that but I just need to find a good topic that moves me just like Zarrin did and others. It sounded to me that Zarrin wasn't scared to speak her mind.

    My next mentor is Mustafa. His link is: http://bloggingwithblogs.blogspot.com/
 I picked him because his titiles it sounds good so it makes you want to read his blogs. But his blogs are intresting also its really good. I was shocked about his books because I never suspect a boy to read a book like "Smacked" and he actually liked it. He gave intresting ideas about his book it wasn't just like "ohh I found this book really boring because it was a love story and it was to lovey dovey" he actually gave realistic feelings about the book. Just like Zarrin he spoke his mind.
    The last mentor is Keiame. Her link is:
http://livelaughread-keiame.blogspot.com/
  The reason I picked hers is because the way she explains her stories is really different she makes the books sound amazing. Her voabulary is really good too her blogs sound deep. They could be like stories they have a lot of details in them. I like the fact that she reads different books with meaning so when she writes about the book it doesn't sound like she retelling it or it came out from a book it sound like little short stories made by her.
    These mentors all have different writing skills and have different taste in thinking I think that's why I picked them but also because they all have strong feelings and ideas.
