Extra Credit

Wow, this year is already almost over. English has been a lot of fun with you Mrs. Gilman; and I'm sure next years freshman will be saying the same thing. The year has been fun and particularly easy in some parts. I'd say my least favorite assignment was drawing Boo Radley's house because well for one I am not in the least bit artistic, but I am sure other students actually thought it was fun. Art just is not my thing. My favoirte assignment of the year was definately what we are working on now. The Odyssey movie project. This is my favorite assignment because you let us choose our groups and then movie making its self is just fun. I only hope you get a group of freshman and great as us, haha.

O Brother Where Art Thou

In O Brother Where Art Thou, I enjoyed a lot of parts in the movie. I think this was the best movie we have watched all year. Some parts I thought were funny was when Pete got "turned into frog". Another part I found hilarious was the cow part. I thought this was funny because the cow got shot ten times and still was able to get in front of the police car. I also enjoyed when George Nelson who robbed the banks said "I hate cows more than coppers." Haha. I found that very funny.

The Prologue Underworld

This movie clip from Underworld is rated R but isn't actually bad so don't think I am some rebel for having a rated R clip.

This movie Underworld has a very big similairity with Romeo and Juliet. Just like the Romeo and Juliet there are two mortal enimies, the Lycans, and the Vampires. The families have always been in a war but now one of the main Lycans and the main character or who is a vampire have fallen in love. They know them being together would be total chaos but they still go through with it.

Romeo and Juliet Act 2

Something interesting that happened in act two to me was the whole idea of Romeo and Juliet getting married after only knowing each other for one day. I found this interesting because Romeo and Juliet's families hate each other and yet they want to get married only after knowing each other for one day. I think this decision of Romeo and Juliet will greatly impact their future with some tragedy.

To me doing that is a little to sudden. I mean getting married at that young of an age after knowing each other for only one day! I mean come on it's really really sudden and not subtle at all. If I was Romeo I would of at least waited for a little while and got to know Juliet better before I asked her to marry me. I don't think I have ever been in the same situation because none of my friends or I are crazy enough to do that.

Characters in Romeo and Juliet

One character I can really picture is Romeo. I think Romeo is a really emotional person when it comes to girls and when he finds "the one", but really he can just move on when he finds another girl. I think Romeo would look like a rather tall person with darker hair and attributes that girls really seem to enjoy. If I met Romeo in real life I think it would be a cool experience because he has an interesting personality that is in a weird way similar to mine so I think we would get along.

A person I know that is similar to Romeo would be one of my friends who I'm not going to name but he always seems to get down when he likes a girl and she doesn't like him or his girlfriend breaks up with him. Sooner or later though he finds another girl and just moves on. For example in the book Romeo gets really depressed about Rosalinne not caring for him the same way he cares for her, but when he meets Juliet his feelings for Rosalinee are gone and new ones for Juliet are rising.

Romeo and Juliet premonitions

Premonitions to me are just like dejavu. I have had many of these come out of nowhere. For example I will have a dream I am kicking a soccer ball and I kicked it off a trash can and it hit me in the face. Then two months later it will happen to me and I totally remember the dream and I always just sit there with confusion. I didn't really know it was going to happen that day of all days, I mean I didn't really think it was going to happen at all.

Some things I could of recognized to prevent me doing these things that were in my dreams were things that happened previously. Like I almost hit a car in that same dream, fell down my driveway (it was icey outside), and the same things happened two months later. I guess I could of prevented it but like I said I didn't recognize any of the events that happened before it. In the end it wasn't that bad my nose bled a little bit but I didn't care all I thought about was how my dream was two months before this and it happening just then.
