Dreams

I take school very seriously so I tend to stress. So the night before a big biology test I had a terrible dream that I would Fail! So I woke up in the middle of the night to review my notes. At First I thought that it would be a bad idea but I was wrong. The next day I took the test and I received a 39/40 I was so happy it was my best grade ever on a bio test. I was so happy that i spent a little extra time studying. this event lead me to believe that dreams do actually mean something.

This action reminds me of Romeo because he will do whatever it takes to ensure that he gets what he wants. this is also a Romeo action because he unlike Mercutio believes in dreams. Romeo gives Mercutio and Benvolio a long speech about the dream that he had the night before telling them that them should not attend the Capulet party because he foresaw a bad outcome. Perhaps he was referring to Mercutio's Death or his own Banishment. Either way dreams do mean something to some people and I as well as Romeo am one of them.

Culture Shock!

(Hey Juliet)
I think your're fine
You really blow my mind
Maybe someday, you and me can run away
I just want you to know
I want to be your Romeo
Het Juliet

Right there is the perfect modern day Romeo and Juliet. It's about a deep love for a women, just like Romeo has for Juliet. I mean it's almost as if this song was written in honor of Shaksperes play. I wonder?

English Reflection

What is English? A language, a class or an adventure filled with opportunities for speculation and opinion. In English there is no such thing as a right or Wong answer, there is only your answer; that's the beauty of the subject. you can be comical, serious, sentimental or even deep; it makes no difference. For me comedy is the way to go punch up the story line a little bit give it some pizazz. If you take all literature to seriously, which is not necessarily bad, it can become boring and repetitive. SPICE IT UP! For Example in Great Expectations Charles Dickens the relationship that he creates between Pip and Estella can be seem as a no win battle for Pip just a boy lost in love with someone who can never love him back. Or you can say that Estella's cruelty is her way I telling Pip that she wants him. Bow Chicka Bow Wow! See make it more interesting for yourself. Now you don't have to be comical like me but that's the best part about English, being Unique!

Skit Ideas

1. For my first idea I thought itwould be cool t act out the scenewhen that soldiers come to Joe and then they go on the hunt for the Convict. It has a lot of roles it it and it cna be used to contrast the way Pip acts in the begining towards Joe compared to when he is a gentleman.
2. The second idea is to portray the first scene between Pip and Estella when they are playing their card game. Even though Estella is quite mean to Pip he still falls inlove with her after this encounter.
3. My last option for a skit is to show the scene that has Miss Havisham apoligizing to Pip and then catching on fire. The fact that Pip saves her shows that he is not as selfish as he appears.

I personally like the idea of using #3 because it is an important scene for the play.

Not Again!!!!

Ok the comcept of Compeyson and his connection to all of the characters. He is the second convict fighting with Abel in the Marshes correct? And is also is linked to Miss Havisham by being her betrayer right? So why? What purpose does Dickens intend from having one character ruin others lives? I think that in some way Abel has past experiences with Miss HAvisham besides the link with Compeyson. Maybe the Pocket's or other family can tie in.

Please HELP ME!!!!!!!

WHAT???!!!!!

While reading Great Expectations there is a lot that I don't understand but the one quote that sticks out is why Pip calls his experiences his "Expectations". In chapter 31 In the last paragraph Pip Says "and miserably dreamed that my expectations were canceled. (Pp. 259). Why would he refer to them like this? why not his, dreams or accomplishments. Please help me!

Great Expectations

Miss Havisham is an distressed women. On her wedding day her heart was broken and from that point on her life stopped. I use a clock to show this. At her house all of the clocks are stopped on the same time, most likley the moment she was dumped. She has not chaged a single thing since this moment and is still emotional destressed.
