Romeo and Juliet video

This is a video of two guys fighting and it reminded me a lot of Mercutio and Tybalt's fight. When I first saw this I imagined the two guys that are fighting and as Mercutio and Tybalt and the guy that saves Mercutio as Romeo. I know Romeo didn't save Mercutio in the play but the guy that reminded me of Romeo did look like he was going to attack Tybalt like Romeo did in the play.

Romeo and Juliet photo

To me this picture relates to Romeo and Juliet because peace seems like something the two house holds don't have even though Benvolio wants it. The Friar also wants peace because he agrees to marry Romeo and Juliet. In the prologue it said that only with Romeo and Juliet's death is there peace between the two families, so the play to me seems like it has a lot to do with the two families eventually having peace between them.

I got this photo from google images.

Romeo and Juliet: Act Two

To me the balcony scene seemed like the most important scene in act two and it was interesting to me for many reasons. I thought that Romeo was funny in this scene because he was talking with metaphors and similes and and was hard to understand. While Romeo was talking like that Juliet was being serious and i thought this was really funny.

I also found how easily they agreed to marry each other interesting. They had just met and had only spoken a little to each other and yet wanted to get married the next day. I have never gotten married so i have never experienced like this but Love is a weird thing so i guess someone could fall in someone else when the first saw them.

Characters in Romeo and Juliet

Mercutio is Romeo's best friend and to me he seems like a fun guy that doesn't take things seriously. When Romeo told Mercutio that he had a bad feeling about the party, Mercutio just laughed and gave his silly speech about dreams being nonsense. Mercutio also seems like the type of person that would help Romeo when Romeo needs it.

I know a person just like Mercutio and that person is my cousin. His name is TJ and he is the same age as me so he is more like a friend than a cousin. He reminds me of Mercutio because he likes to help out me or any of or Friends when they need help. He is also silly like Mercutio and likes to makes jokes.

Premonitions

I haven't experienced that many premonitions but I do remember one premonition I had. I was at my tae kwon do school and I had to spar with a third degree black belt. I'm not sure if this is a premonition but I knew something bad was going to happen. I was comfortable with my skills but for some reason i thought this spar would end bad.

I had fought this guy many times but for some reason this fight ended differently then all the others. As i was fighting him he aimed for my face with his spinning hook kick. I saw his foot coming but i was to slow and he hit me. He ended up ripping my lip up in four different places. It was an interesting experience and i learned a lot from it.

Shakesrearen Stories

The movie "The Notebook" is a movie that is has similer plots to shakespearen plays. this movies has a love triangle between the two main charecters and one of the main characters fiance. The main charecters are also seperated because one of the main characters parents do not approve of their relationship. And to me this seems very similer to the type of plays shakespeares makes.

I think the author who wrote the book the movie The Notebook is based off of did not get a lot of his ideas from Romeo and Juliet but I do think he was insprired a little by the play. I think the author got his idea from this play because the plots are slightly similer.

anticipating shakespeare

As our class watches a Midsummer's Night Dream I am finding that it is easier to understand the way that the characters are speaking, but I still find the way the characters speak hard to understand in some parts of the movie. Though I do find Shakespeare's plots interesting and his plays fun to watch most of the time, i do sometimes find myself bored or uninterested. I just hope I don't feel this way while reading Romeo and Juliet.

I have never read Romeo and Juliet but i do know the main plot. I know that it is story of two young lovers separated by their families differences. I am not entirely sure how much i will like the play but i will try to enjoy the play.
