A Review on "Much to do about Nothing"

   LAST WEEK ME AND MY CLASS WENT ON A TRIP TO SEE. THE PLAY “MUCH ADO 

ABOUT NOTHING” I THOUGHT THAT THIS PLAY WAS VERY WELL PUT TOGETHER. I

 THOUGHT THAT THE ACTORS REALLY STAYED IN CHARACTER. I LIKED HOW THE

 ACTORS WOULDN’T LAUGH OUT LOUD DURING A SCENE EVEN IF THE AUDIENCE

 WOULD BURST OUT  LAUGHING.  

LOOKING FOR ALASKA

  I AM READING THE BOOK “LOOKING FOR ALASKA” I JUST FINISHED THIS BOOK

TODAY AND I THOUGHT THAT THE ENDING IS REALLY MEANINGFUL. THIS BOOK

WAS ABOUT THESE BOYS NAMED MILES OR “PUDGE”, CHIP OR “THE COLONEL” AND

ALSO TAKUMI.  MILES USED TO BE A BOY WITH NO FRIENDS AND A HOBBY OF

FINDING OUT PEOPLE’S LAST WORDS. CHIP WAS ALSO A LOSER ,SHORT,  ANNOYING

AND NO FRIENDS WHATSOEVER.  TAKUMI IS THIS COMPUTER WHIZ. HE’S ASIAN

AND FAIRLY SMART. THEN THERE IS A GIRL NAMED ALASKA. SHE IS A VERY PRETTY

GIRL. SHE’S SMART, SHE CAN GET ALL THE BOYS IN THE WORLD AND HAS THE

POWER TO CHANGE BOYS LIKE “PUDGE” AND “THE COLONEL” INTO GUYS THAT

GIRLS WOULD DROOL OVER. BUT DEEP DOWN INSIDE ALASKA HAS A SECRET. SHE

HAS PROBLEMS THAT SHE IS AFRAID TO REVEAL. SHE BLAMES HERSELF FOR THE

DEATH OF HER MOTHER, AND THINKS THAT SHE COULD HAVE SAVED HER BUT

DIDN’T.  EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS 8 YRS OLD.

IN THE BOOK ALASKA’S GOAL IS TO HELP PUDGE BECOME A CHICK MAGNET. SHE

STARTS BY LOOKING FOR GIRLS THAT ARE PRETTY, NOT HOT BECAUSE PUDGE

DOESN’T NEED THAT YET.  SOON AFTER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME THE GUYS START

SEEING A CHANGE IN ALASKA. SHE STARTS TO DRINK IN EXCESSIVE, STARTS TO CARE

LESS ABOUT GETTING CAUGHT DRINKING. SHE STARTS SMOKING ONE PACK OF

CIGGARETTES A DAY. THE GUYS SEE THIS BUT ARE ALSO LOSING CONTROL OVER THE

 SMOKING AND BEER. SO THEY DON’T DO SQUAT.

MUCH LATER ALASKA SUFFERS A CAR ACCIDENT AND DIES. WHILE THE BOYS TRY TO

INVESTIGATE WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED ALASKAS DEATH , THEY FINALLY THINK

THAT IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH HER MOM. THEY BLAME THEMSELVES, BUT

IN THE END THEY FIGURE OU THAT SHE TOOK THAT DDECISION AND LET HER REST

IN PEACE.

RESPONSE ON PARIS

      I think that Paris would be a good husband for Juliet, because he would give

her all of the things she could ever want. I still think that Paris could be a good

 husband but I don’t think that there would be a very happy marriage between

the two of them. I think this because even though Paris may love Juliet, Juliet does

not love him back.( at least not now) maybe if Paris would take the time to “woo”

Juliet then maybe Juliet would start to like him.

     I also think that Paris is being selfish, I think this because he told Capulet that

he wanted to marry Juliet but he never told Juliet to her face that he would like

her to marry him. so in all i think that paris is a gould person but still sort of bad

ROMEO AND JULIET

Dearest friend,

I have learned many things throughout the book Romeo and Juliet. It is a very interesting book. So far I have learned many things about the characters Sampson and Gregory. 

For example I have learned that Sampson and Gregory both don’t/won’t be carry coals (to be humiliated) I’ve also learned that they don’t like the people they are working for.

One important thing that I have noticed so far is that Romeo is not happy at all. He isn’t happy because he loves a woman that does not love him back. He has very strong feelings toward this girl. His cousin Benvolio, is trying to make him feel better but, Romeo is just to upset to listen.

So far I don’t understand what the book is saying most of the time. It is all very confusing especially the way that the characters talk. So wish me luck.

                Your friend,
