shakespeare stuff

I really don't find the lingo that hard. it's fairly easy to understand. The movie was basic language, and was decent. Shakespeare is pretty chill, he has pretty intense work, and was a brialliant man.

Romeo and Juliet sounds intregging. it's going to be better then the other books that we've had to read. With everything i'm going through this is the LAST book i want to read, but whatever. The story is dear to my heart, and i love watching in in Ashland. The play was amazing, and the book is going to be even better.

The Worst Part of Animal Farm ~I love my Devyn!!!!!!!!~

Animal Farm is a very disturbing book because of all of the commandments that have been broken. The pigs are not good and are just trying to make their lives easier while destroying the lives of the other animals. The pigs make up everything just so they can continue you to rule even though Jones was better. The pigs are acting worst then Jones because they are minipulating the other animals into thinking that they are doing work because they want to, when really it's because they want to eat food and survive.

The Pigs are also breaking all of the commandments by changing them to what suits them best. They already broke over half of the commandments, because they were close to being exposed for what they truly are. The other animals are brained washed in to thinking that their lives are good when they truly stink. Old Major's dream was for the animals to live in peace, but not it the "peace" that Nepolion created the wold.

Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Write =]

Animal Farm is WAYYYYY better then To Kill A Mockingbird, and actually keeps me interested, and sometimes makes me want to read more. I have to say that Animal Farm is a good book, and has a great way of tying historical events in with a fictional story, that keeps you questioning. The book is slow at times, but still always has an interesting point. The story also does reflect on modern day life because you'll always have the people that want to rebell, have people that follow the crowd, and some people that don't want to change at all.

My favorite character so far is Snowball. He's so adorable, and is treated very cruely. Snowball is a very good character because he shows that even if people go with the crowd, and figure it out soon or later, it can destroy it. Snowball is the person that you should be afraid of because he could possibly take over, and not even mean to because he's just following his gut.

After the High School life

With all of the things i have to do to graduate, I'm more concerned with failing myself, then not reaching the requirements. The school says i have to have a D to pass a test, but for personal standards i have to have an A, and i don't have all A's i believe that i failed. Reaching all the requirements is not going to be a problem, it's just trying to fit them in to my course load my junior and senior year while i am attending running start and new market. I know that if i don't over load my self I' not going to reach my full potential. I also have to keep going to the WSU workshops that I'm attending. I also have to practice and play my heart out if i want to get a scholarship  on my oboe and get in to a top preforming school if i don't get into WSU.

I'm hoping that by pushing myself to my full potential in high school i will be able to complete any dreams and goals i have for later on in life. If i slack through high school i know i wont do well in the future. I'm hoping get expirences that will also help me later on in life that will make me a better person. High School, a scary thing, is my future. If i fail now, i'll never amount to anything, which will always be my biggest fear. So pretty much i need to do well. 

movie vs. book

An important similarity between the book and movie, is the mutual fascination between Arthur Radley and the children. Arthur, or Boo as the children called him, left them gifts such as dolls, a watch, and chewing gum in the hollow of a tree in his yard. The children made expeditions to the Radley house to look in the window just so they could catch a glimpse of Boo Radley. I believe this captivation was important to the story line because it was the main foundation of the children's imagination. A big part of the story was imagining Boo to be some kind of freak that came out at night to eat cats and squirrels.

This part of the book is close to my heart because i have been boo countless times in my life, and i know that i personally didn't like being judged. When the kids believe all of the rumors being spread about Boo, i got testy because people spread rumors about me, like i'm a "slut/whore" and it hurts. Boo though doesn't allow people to bring him down because he believes in saving those who can't save themselves. The author and producer of the book and movie did a good job at the scences involving Boo and that's pretty much how i imaganed it!

This book changed my life

I can't say that this book changed my life, execpt for the fact that it's taught me to over come bordem. This book had points in which i would give up reading because it was "killing" me. it also taught me that things in life aren't always going to be happy and exciting, so i have to learn to deal with less exciting events. This book was dull to me but it had its moments which harper lee did an outstanding job writing, and that's what happens in life.

The main lesson i learned from this book was from Atticus. He always tells the children, “you never really understand a person until you consider things from their point of view.”(30) A hard and complicated event to take place in because it's easy to judge people, but by doing what Attiucs says it shows who the bigger person is. The people that i dislike now can truly be the people that will save me in the end, and i have expirenced that personaly. So i try to live each day like Atticus because equality is key.

Life Lessons

Throughout To Kill A Mockingbird, Jem and Scout learn numerous life lessons, but a major lesson that Scout learns is, even the innocent die cruelly. When Atticus comes to the house during the party he tells Aunt Alexandra, Calpurnia, Miss Maudie, and Scout, "...seventeen bullet holes in him." (235) Scout then learns that even though Tom is a sweet, kind-hearted, and nonviolent man, he has to die because of society. She also learns that because Tom was the man trying to escape it was okay to slaughter him, by shooting him at least 17 times, but if it was a white man the guard would have only shot to injure. This lesson is very important for Scout to learn because she is now faced with the racist and slaughtering future of Maycomb, which hopefully her generation will be able to fulfil.

I, myself have faced numerous events in my life, but the end result luckily wasn't death. I love my friends to death, and they are the most important people in my life, and I hate it when people assume that they cause violent acts just because of the way that they are dressed. For example, when my friend and me found a guy beaten in Yuager and we went to get help, people just assumed that my friend beat the beaten boy because of the clothes he was wearing. My friend didn't deserve to be sentence to Juvi because he was completely innocent, but society was against him. He luckily wasn't killed, but he was still treated unfairly because of the "stereotype" that he is involved with, which is supposedly violent. I believe that society needs to get the thing stuck up it's butt out and stop judging people, but they actually need to be able to judge a case without seeing the defendant being charged, but just for what their testimony is. If we went off that a lots of innocent people, wouldn't be charged with the so called crimes that they have committed.
