Project Checkpoint

Well I've made some progress as far as research not much though. A thing I'm kind of concerned about is what info you want me to in clued. I mean I'm not exactly sure what from the 1933 world fair you would want in my power point or what that even has to with Of Mice and Men.

Beyond that the only problems i see are my lack of motivation. Or how dates always seem to catch up with me take this blog for instance. But other than that no problems none at all.

Monty Python And The Holy Grail- The Black Knight



I found this video on youtube just searching for it. Anyway the fighting reminds me of how they might have fought in the 16th century. I'm also pretty sure the line "'tis but a scratch" and "it's merely a flesh wound" are reference to Mercutio said when mortally wounded. Sorry it's late I felt terrible yesterday and still do.

Romeo and Juliet Photo Post

I chose this image because it reminds me of the balcony in act.2 sc.2. I think it look a lot more like it would have not like in the movies. I honestly didn't like how long the balconys were in the older one and the newer one didn't have much of a balcony scene. Anyway here's the link http://pro.corbis.com/images/AT001853.jpg?size=67&uid={F0CF2C26-B2DD-40E9-BDD8-679740765EA5}.

Romeo and Juliet: Act Two

Some thing I found interesting. Okay when Mercutio was telling jokes about Romeo and Rosaline and Benvolio was being all practical. I personal found this rather funny they didn't really seem like they'd get along with out Romeo. I think that they'll be going on like that though the in tire play and are there mainly for comic relief.

I'm not sure what I'd do I there position I'm generally pretty practical. But if I was coming form a party I'd probably be joking around. Can't say I've been in a similar situation. I mean I haven't really been to that many parties and sure haven't had friends sneak of to see girls they had fallen in love with that night.

Characters in Romeo and Juliet

The charter I'm going to write about is Benvolio. He is in the broadest seance of the term a peace keeper and always tries to give Romeo good advice. I'm not sure what he would look life. I mean Shakespeare had a reason for not describing the people in his plays to let the actors do that for you right.

Anyway I think that my dad fits Benvolio's personalty pretty well. He's always trying to keep the peace in our house most of the time as about as effective at it as Benvolio was. He also tries to give my siblings and I good advice when he can. "If you want to be a hero well just follow me" John Lennon.

Romeo and Juliet: Premonitions

To easy in fact I'll do one better. Over summer break I went to a over night summer camp in Idaho theme park called Sliverwood. Anyway on the second night we were there at camp and I say for no particular reason can you feel the tension in the room. Of course there's no tension. Later on that night someone pours spaghetti all over someone else's back and sorts of other things like that.

To me this is hilariously funny but not to all the consular's not so much. The best part you could feel the tension in the room. I don't really think there's much I could do to prevent it though. "blood is the rose of a mysterious union" the Door's.
