Dear Juliet, Romeo is into you

 After completing Act 1 of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare I though it was great that we finally got to see the two main characters Romeo and Juliet meet for the first time. 

While reading this I felt as though Romeo meeting Juliet was good timing for him because he can finally move on from the girl that broke his heart Rosaline. It was good to see Romeo happy after meeting Juliet, seeing as though he started Act 1 moping around, being a depressed teen and being hopelessly in love with someone who doesn’t love him back. But in all fairness we should thank Romeos cousin Benvolio for pushing him to go to the Capulet feast so Romeo could “Compare her face with some that I shall show, And I will make thee think thy swan a crow” (1.2.93) as to show Romeo that there are other beautiful girls out there, maybe even more beautiful than Rosaline. 

Well Benvolio should keep playing Cupid because thanks to him Romeo did find someone else, he found someone who’s beauty was “too rich for use” (1.5.54). After meeting Juliet, Romeo starts to think that he’s never seen “true beauty til this night” (1.5.60). So it’s safe to say Benvolio was right in saying that once Romeo saw how beautiful other girls are, he’ll start to think his swan Rosaline was actually a crow compare to everyone else.

After this interaction I think that on the way home Romeo’s would be blasting “You and I” by One Direction.


This would be Romeo’s song of choice because he’s a romantic at heart and this is a romance song. He would also listen to this song so it can motivate him to be with Juliet. For example the lyrics “You and I, we don’t wanna be like them” can be represented by how they both don’t want to be like their warring families they just want to be free to love, and to not let them being each other’s “foes” (prologue) get in the way of that. The ending lyric to the song “we could make it if we try, You and I” can also help Romeo be more determined because if they try they just might work out. 

This is all wishful thinking though because we all know from the prologue that this love story will end with the death of both Romeo and Juliet, but we’ll think about that when it comes, for now we’ll just have to enjoy the happy moments they’ll have.

Final debate writing

 After reading the St Lucy's Home For Girls Raised By Wolves my thoughts on the story is that it does show how selfish humans can be because throughout the story the wolf-girls are learning how to be human and in doing so you can see how selfish they got because they wanted higher skill points or they wanted to be the better wolf-girl.  Not only do they get selfish, but they also turned their backs on each other. What a betrayal. But most importantly they turned their backs on their youngest sister Mirabella.  Throughout the story Mirabella showed that she was slow to adapt unlike her other sisters and selfishly not one of her sisters stepped up to help her, instead they picked on her and left her behind to fend for herself. In stage 2 Mirabella was told to "lick your own wounds" getting totally abandoned by her sister to take care of herself. While reading this i felt that even though Mirabella wasn't adapting as fast as the others, i think they should've at leas...

What is assimilation?

Image
 Some might ask "What is assimilation?" well assimilation is when you get rid of what makes you unique, different and/or special to fit in with the majority norm. For example, you can stop speaking the language you originally spoke and start speaking the language everyone else is speaking just for the very fact that you want to fit in or because you think 'its the norm so why not?' It can also be that you stop wearing your cultural clothes and start wearing "normal" clothing like everyone else. People do this because they want to be accepted and in order to feel accepted they give up the most essential part of themselves, the part that makes them different.    I think that students should not have to or feel like they have to give up their cultural identity because that's what makes them different and unique and moving to a different environment shouldn't require them to have to change that about themselves. I think different environments should acce...
