O Brother Where Art Thou
I would have to say the best part of O Brother Where Art Thou was the Ku Klux Klan part. It was taken as more of joke then what it should have been interpreted. I enjoyed that section of the movie because we all knew it was coming up and how hilarious the dance is. I was told after class that I laughed to hard in the scene and its true. I found that part very amusing because some people in the class cough*Ale*cough think I'm all for the KKK.

Epic Fail
Failing a music solo is one of the worst feelings in the world. It is like being told to sing a song you don't know in an assembly knowing full well you have absolutely no acoustics. One top of it, your GPA is on the line if you refuse to sing. Or, it can simply be like being placed in front of the world for all to critic and wait for a mistake.

And 3 of the women goddesses picked the apple up and had to travel to Mount Iliad to see Zeus's son Paris. Who then chose the fairest godess.

Ppt. Progress
My power point progress can be compared to a 1930's truck. It can rev up to a moderately fast pace but then slow to a crawl instantly. What I mean by that is that creating the power point is easy and fast but when it comes to research, that takes a surprisingly long amount of time. Statistics for the 1930's are scarce and you have to pick apart your word choicewhile searching with a sowing needle. It seems like each slide in my power point requires a different website. But I'm not complaining, this project beats essays and work-sheets any day!
I am useing a program called Open Office to create my power point and from what I have seen it is better than Microsoft Power Point. It has an awsome wizard that does all the programimg at the beginning so you don't have to mess with each slide induvidually. I sould at my current pase have the project completed by friday. Happy and content I am on this project. :)

A View Of Obama
In honor of the 44th President of the United States, Baskin-Robins Ice Cream has issued a new flavor. "Barocky Road".
Barocky Road of half vanilla, half chocolate, and surrounded by Nuts and Flakes. The vanilla portion of the mix is not openly advertised and usually denied as an ingredient. The Nuts and Flakes are all very bitter and hard to swallow.
The cost of one scoop is $100. When purchased, it will be presented to you in a large beautiful cone, but then the Ice Cream is taken away and given to the person in line behind you. Thus you are left with an empty wallet, no change, holding an empty cone, with no hope of getting any ice cream.
Feeling stimulated?

The End......of Romeo and Juliet
I overall disapprove the ending of Romeo and Juliet because I feel that there were to many uncalled for deaths. I believe that Paris's death was unnecessary because his role in the play did not seem significant enough for him and Romeo to fight in the end and result in his death. The way I would have wrote the play would have Paris in Verona weeping for Juliet's death.
Also, Romeo's mother's death was really random and only is mentioned in 3 lines. It would not have taken anything away from the play if it was not in the story. Yes, Romeo and Juliet's deaths were inevitable but Romeo's mother was not a main character and her death was not necessary to the story line.

R & J Video
Not only was this movie directed by the same person that directed the new Romeo and Juliet movie but its story is nearly identical in theme. A "pair of star crossed lovers" find each other in a brothel and fall in love with each other at first sight. But the girls boss and friends will not let her be with him because the boy is poor and the wealthy bishop wants to marry her. Also, the bishop is the only person that can make her acting become a reality. This movie was greatly influenced by Romeo & Juliet in its theme and base story line as both movie and play center on a pair of lovers who's love is restricted by those around them.

Romeo & Juliet Pic

Ok, I think this is a great example of how Romeo & Juliet is a universal symbol of love. Just like the heart. What these shirts say is that she is my love and visa versa. When you say this it (for anyone that knows R & J) clicks that he or she is my boyfriend or girlfriend. That's just the image that Romeo and Juliet has engraved in the world.
Romeo and Juliet is such a picture perfect story of love that no matter where you are in the world it means the same thing and everyone can relate to it. This picture was taken on the other side of the world of where R & J was written and is just as well as known as a simble of effection and love. What I'm trying to say is that no matter what janguage you sppeak or where you live Romeo & Juliet is a universal language.
Note: Click on the title to go to the site I got the picture from.

Part 2 Shocker
In Part 2 Scene 4 Friar Lawrence says he will marry Romeo and Juliet. After talking in a romantic sort with Juliet Romeo goes to Friar Lawrence the next day and asked him if he will do the honors and marry them, the friar agrees. What I found shocking about this is that he agreed without considering the problem of them being in two separate rival families. What he was worried about was how Rosaline would feel. I would have thought that that would click in his head and he would question Romeo on his decision.
Now although I thought this was a boring scene it in fact is crucial to the story. Before Romeo gets into the marriage thing with the friar the friar give a speech about a poisonous herb that turns out to be the supposed key to Romeo and Juliet's prolonged love. This is crucial to the play because without that talk you would not know about the poisons purpose later on in the play. Hmmmm.... is that a bit of foreshadowing?

Character's of Romeo & Juliet
Out of all the characters in Romeo & Juliet my favorite character is Mercutio. He is romeo's best friend and has a comical personality. From the reading Mercutio seems like a cool friend because he can cheer you up easily and is always fun to be around. Like in his long speech about the Queen of Mab. I couldn't quite it understand but it seemed like Mercutio's intent for telling that story was to cheer Romeo up.
I have had and still have many friends but I can't think of one with the same personality as Mercutio. But I do have a friend in Seattle that could laugh very easily and knew new so many jokes for so many different situations. Mercutio once said, " If love be rough with you, then you be rough with love." O fcourse we have never talked about love I know that he could give me the same quality advice that Mercutio gives Romeo. Let's just hope my friend doesn't suffer the same fate as Mercutio.

Premonition's
So there was this one time I was sitting on the shore of Lake Erie and the was a fairly busy road behind me. I was sitting there waiting for my parents when I saw a 2 girls with a canoe cross the road with a little wiener dog on a lishe. they crossed the road just fine but once they were across the girl holding on to the dogs rope seemed to be struggling with the canoe and was forced to drop the dogs rope and carry the canoe with both hands. She and her friends finally put the canoe down and turn to call their dog back, but he wouldn't listen. All the dog wanted to do was go back home across the road.
So the dog walked right passed me and I just acted like I wasn't paying any attention. So the little dog made it to the edge of the road and stopped. I for one was pleased that it didn't attempt to cross the crowded road but I knew if the girl did not go grab the dog it would eventually . After about 15 seconds of calling the dog to come back a mini van began to pass the dog began walking and was trampled over by the vans rear left tire. It was a gruesome sight, the poor dog was panicking, trying to move the back half of its body but it was clearly paralyzed. If only I would have stopped the dog as it passed by me it would not have been hit by the car. I do not know what became of the dog but I don't think it lived much longer.

Shakespeare's Cinema Influence
From what I have seen Shakespeare seems like the person who wrote the book (and the plays) on romance. It's really hard to tell what influences he may have had on modern films because of how so much has change since his era. But every romance film I would think fused Shakespeare ideas into their movies in some way.

Shakespearean Session
I can sort of understand what they are thinking because as I'm watching I am thinking of what those words would be in present day speaking. And then just piecing them together as a normal sentence. I think that anyone that's wrights plays with that complex of wording must be either a genius or a complete lunatic.
I have had the chance to watch the original Romeo and Juliet twice. So I have a clear memory of the movie. I am almost positive I will not enjoy the movie because I was bored to death after watching it the first time let alone the third. So I'm not very syked about it.

Animal Farm At It's Worst
I think the saddest and by far most disturbing part in the book is when Boxer, the hard working horse, is carted of to the "vet" to be slaughtered. This was a shocker, for a moment I thought Napoleon had actually wanted to send Boxer to the vet. But Napoleons cruel and selfish nature showed its face again and he fabricated a one way trip to the slaughter house as an unsuccessful recovery at the vet in Willington.
The sad part of it was that Boxer and the other animals realised what was happening and tried to stop it but Boxer was to weak to save himself. And that the other animals are sadly to dumb to believe what they heard from Squealer and not what they saw with there own eyes written on the side of the buggy that took Boxer away.

Animal Farm Freewrite
So far the book is okay and it is kinda cool how closely it relates to the Russian Revolution. It seems like the author, George Orwell, has his work cut out for him because the foundation of the story and the personalities of the characters is already written out in history.
I usually think of fables as children's stories but this book is different. Its take-off of the Russian Revolution seems to adult like to be a fable. This will be the first fable I've ever read so I'm willing to give it a shot and so far its going okay.
