2. Write a quick verse that tells the tale of Juliet from beginning to end.

3. use act three vocabulary words in your song (at least 5).

 

(The following questions you should think about, while writing. DO NOT ANSWER!)

 

3. What idea will you emphasize? Personality and choices, family pressure, passionate love, passionate hate, fate, free will?

4. What is the significance of the title?

Juliet's Monolouge

In the play Romeo and Juliet (It doesn't let me underline romeo and Juliet), by William Shakespeare, Juliet's individual choice(s) make everything change. I think that what is affecting Juliet is her individual choices because if she were to be another girl she would of just gone along with her parent's choice on marrying Paris, but since she doesn't want to marry him, that choice will change everything and lead her to where she is right now. "Nurse! What should she do here? My dismal scene I needs must act alone.Come,vial. What if this mixture do not work at all? Shall I be married then to-morrow morning? No,no: this shall forbid it: lie thou there." In this quote, it shows that her individual choice is to not marry Paris so to make that happen she is going to take a vial to make her fall asleep for 2 days so that she can meet up with Romeo and together flee from the village.Yet is she were another girl she would of just not tried to reject the marriage with Paris and would just forcefully be with someone she wouldn't love and leave all the love she had with Romeo to be good with her parents. Juliet's decisions are basically making her end up in another situation with her parents.

Juliet's Monolouge

      In the play Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, Juliet's quick decisions that lead to problems have the biggest impact in Act 4. In the play, Juliet marries Romeo, someone who she had just met the day before and doesn't even know anything about him except that he is a Monteque and is very devoted to her. This is an example of her personal flaws that she makes quick decisions. Another example of her making quick decisions is not even thinking about what would her family think if they found out that she is married to the person that killed her cousin and is part of the Moteque Family. Also her family forces her to marry Paris, but she doesn't want to so she tries going to Frair, a friend of Romeo and asks him if he could help her with her problem, so Frair gives her a vial that will make her look like she killed herself. In Act 4 Scene 3 Juliet says,"How if, when I am laid in the tomb, I wake before the time that Romeo come to redeem me?..." Juliet is thinking that Romeo will not get to her in time before they bury her when she says " wake before the time that Romeo come to redeem me." Juliet's quick decisions lead to problem with her and family.

Romeo and Juliet

The play is way more different from he art work because the art work is calm and the play is more aggressive and fiery so these two things are way to different things

"Mandela's Death Leaves South America without its Moral Center" article by: The New York Times/ Victor Aguirre p.5

After reading, I think that Mandela's death made a change in peoples thoughts and even some people life by looking up to him on how he made a change and stood out with his feelings to the world. After reading the article, I found it interesting that even by being kept in prison 27 years for being convicted of treason by the white minority government, he did that to forge a peaceful end to white rul by negotiating with his caprtors after his release in 1990. What really caught my attention was that even by doing this, he wasnt't in a very good health condition. Mandela was suffering Pneumonia and other lung ailments for a while and kept on being in & out of the hospital. Mandela served as president from 1994 to 199 and then retreated public life at the age of 85. I think that overall what he has been through, MAndelas life and actions did make a change in people and b doing this many aspired and beleived in him and in what he did.

Mandela's Death

   What I learned was that Nelson Mandela was the first black president of South Africa. That Mandela was a man that treated eveyone with respect and dignity, saddly President Jacob Zuma announced that Mr. Mandela died on thursday night at 8:50pm. "Mandela's family has sacrificed much and endured much so that our people could be free," he said. Many people, like Kate Reeves couldn't believe that he had died she lives in the same wealthy suburb where Mr. Mandela died.

The tragedy that hurt millions of people is the death of Mr.Nelson Mandela he was the president of South Africa and he spend 27 years of his life in prison fighting for equality this man was a great leader to lots of people and many of them are hurting and won't have a leader anymore because of his death .

Nelson Mandela 1918-2013

I think that Nelson Mandela was/is loved & respected by so many people of all ages, races & from all over the world. He must have had a big heart too, since he focused on charity causes in his early retirement years. I find it sad tho, how a man so sweet had to go through so much; being locked up for 27 years, & his son dying in 2005 because of AIDS. But he lived a long life, & he must be proud of his life, receiving his law degree from the University of the Witwatersrand, becoming South Africa's first black president, congratulating the victorious home team of the World Cup, having a 3rd marriage, having his 91st birthday declared international Mandela Day. Like, I would be pretty proud of myself if I were him. 

Nelson Mandela

People are shaken to hear the death of Nelson Mandela, a man who inspired many and revered by many as well. The reason for this is because he used every ounce if his being to bring peace to South Africa even after being thrown in prison for twenty-seven years charged with treason. He could have backed down or lashed out on the people responsible for his incarceration, but instead he moved forward still trying to achieve peace and the end of racial domination, doing so in a peaceful manner. He won the hearts of the nation before and while he was President of South Africa. He understood the common man unlike his predecessors and colleagues. His understanding and unwavering resolve is what got him the love, respect, and trust of many. Mandela has also been called a saint, although he denied the complement by saying he was, "not a saint, unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying." Of course, others thought he was indeed a saint which is why his death was such a big deal. He will be missed and certainly not forgotten.

Mandela's death

   The most interesting thing I read on the short article of Madela's death was that he spent 27 years in prison . He was also the president of South Africa , for about 5 years . So many people looked up to him , and now that he passed away , a lot of people are hurt by it .

Homework

I think that it was sad how he got sent to prison for so long just because he was trying to have equal rights like everyone else. it sucks he had to die at a time when his country most needs him. he also served as president from 1994 to1999 to focus on helping kids and others.

Hw

What really caught my attention after reading this was that he was in jail for 27 years because he was trying to get equality. It's sad how he lived his life after he tried to help everyone. Another interesting fact was he was the first African American president in his country and won the novel peace price as well as president Obama.

hw

After reading this article,  what I found interesting is that he spent 27 years in prison for making everything equally right and fighting for peace. He was the first black president in South Africa and and also won a noble peace prize. I thought he was a great person because he made a lot of things changed and he impacted a lot of peoples lives. What sucks is that he hasn't been seen since 2010. He was a great person and he will always be remembered.

HW

After reading this i found it interesting that Mandela spent 27 years in prison, was the first black president in South Africa and won a Noble Peace Prize. Mr.Mandela sacrificed so much for his county just for his people to be free. Many people cried when they found out that Mr.Mandela died because he was like a father to them.

Mandela's Death Leaves South Africa Without Its Moral Center Reflection

What I think about this was very sad and very depressing because he was a peacemaker and was a prisoner for 27 years an still had a good attitude. He was like the Mocking Jay of South Africa, he made a movement and he made a change. Mr. Mandela was a very committed person because h e was the symbol of forgiveness over vengeance. Everybody in the nation was so shocked about the news and it made in shock too. He was a father to everyone he met and did respect everyone.  So, what I'm trying to say here is Rest In Peace Mr. Mandela and we will never forget him.

HW: Nelson Mandela

What really caught my attention was the fact that Mr.Mandela spent 27 years in prison and is now 95 years old. What I thought was really sad was that Mr.Mandela hasn't been seen in public since 2010 and is probably never going to have the chance to be out in public ever again because of him passing away. I believe his death impacted people's lives.

Arlene Lopez

After reading the article, i found it interesting that many people liked Nelson Mandela because he figthed for peace & was in jail for 27 years for defending his people. He was 95 years old , and the past 6 months he was in the hospital plenty of times. Nelson Mandela was the first president to be African American.
