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,

Starry Night By: Anne sexton

    I think that this poem has lots of meaning behind it because it shows a lot

of emotion. What really liked about this sonnet is that it has a small quote at

 the top heading. The quote says that he has a terrible need of religion. And

that after he goes out to paint the stars at night. I think that this quote or

excerpt has some meaning. And that you just have to be able to understand

what van gogh was trying to tell his brother in the letter. 

   In the poem there was little repetition and some rhyme. The repetition I

thought was really cool how the poet said “I want to die” at the end of the

first to paragraphs. These were my favorite two lines in the sonnet because

I thought that this line was the one line with more significance out of all of

them. I thought the author was trying to show how the person inside the

poem was feeling at the time. 

     I think that the poet was trying to express her feelings or what she

thought van gogh was feeling because she uses a lot of like death like

words. For example another line that was interesting was the one that said

“my life with no flag.” I thought that this line could have multiple meanings.

Like maybe she was trying to say that his life had no meaning, or that his life

 was worthless. I also thought that maybe it meant that his life had no

boundaries or end.

   In the end I thought that this was a very well composed sonnet, I thought

that it had lots of emotions and feelings.

final sonnet

The girl is friendly and really nice.

She is athletic and loves a good fight.

She loves all sports, her favorite involves ice.

She loves the color of the field, its icy white.

That’s right, her passion is hockey.

She’s not a sore loser, but does like winning.

And when she does win she never does get cocky.

Either way, through the game all you see is grinning.

On her free time she absolutely loves reading.

All genres are fine except for fiction.

She knows that fiction can be misleading.

So she reads poetry, it’s like her addiction.

Your average girl, who tends to go for a run

But still loves to have lots and lots of fun.

Reading response

Iam reading the book on the devils court it is a really good book so far, I think that this book shows alot about he ways some kids live . In this book Joe is always trying to live up to his fathers standards. Joe always must have straight As in all his classes in a way it's like peer pressure just with the difference that he is bringer pressured by his dad and not some bully in school. Joe tries to live up to his fathers expectations but it's hard for him because Joe is not the bookworm or geek type. All Joe wants to do is play basketball all the time. It's hard for Joe be quad he doesn't like to disspaion his father in any way.
Because of this Joe starts to play basket ball behind his parents back and soon gets caught he feels as if his parents are controlling his life . They wouldn't let him choose the high school he felt more comfarotble going to and they were always there choosing his friends for him. This is why when he is grounded for a week he really gets into a book his dad gave him.this book is about some guy who sold his soul to the devil. Joe gets curious because they both have the same last name and Joe wonders if hey might be related.
I think this book is a great example isle parents handling yur life i Also shows how pressure cand drive kids to do things they don't want to or feel like they have to do:)
