Drama part seven (again, my b)

Romeo and Juliet is NOT a tragedy. It's a happy ending.
BECAUSE:
Even though Romeo and Juliet both died, they died in the presence of that which they loved most dear, each other.
After Romeo and Juliet die, the Capulets and the Montagues kiss and make up, being shown the wrongs they've done each other, and they know that even through all the hate, Romeo and Juliet still found love, and the hate lead them to their dooms.
AND
It's better to look at it from a happy perspective, instead of saying THEY DIED!!! WHAT THE CRACK MAN?!?! and start bawling and stuff.
The costumes were kind of cool, too.
Not the tights. Awkward.

Drama experience part seven

My drama experience for the past week isn't much. Learning new games was fun enough, but I miss the way it is at CGST. No one here really gets into it or lets loose, and it's sad, because those games could be so much fun. But they're not, because no one is willing to just be all pshhjdhfuiohwejhds;fdsjhf;sdfjhdsf. Lame.

Drama experience 05-14-09

Today was an interesting day. We played my drama games from CGST, but they weren't fun because people weren't getting into them and they didn't enjoy it. It's only fun when everyone gets out of their comfort zones and lets loose that little kid. The way the games were going, I wanted to light off a stink bomb. It was way worse than I intended, not much fun at all.

Drama experience part two

I never realized how much New Moon was based off of Romeo and Juliet. Stephenie Meyer paralleled A LOT of stuff. It kind of makes me mad, because some of the lines are basically translated into plain English, and everyone praises her for it! I mean, Stephenie Meyer is a brilliant idealist, I love Twilight and all the other books, but still. It's not fair.

Drama Experience 05- 04- 2009

Romeo and Juliet the movie is different than just reading the play. You don't expect a lot of the actions to be the way they are, and when you see them on the movie, you're suprised. Such as Mercrutio's lines, they are so randomly acted you wouldn't have any idea just looking at them that that's what was going on. But it was good to see how Romeo in the Balcony Scene acted, because it gave me something to work with.

Drama Experience Post Two

Working on my scene is a lot of fun. Catherine and I can take Romeo and Juliet's relationships to a lot of different levels, and it's amazing what we get from it. I.E., Romeo is Gay, Juliet is slutty, Romeo is southern, Juliet is preppy, etc. I love acting!!

Drama Experience - 04-20-2009

I love drama!!! I've never played those games before, and they are fun, but not as fun as Whoosh or Zip Zap Zop or Monkey or GrabTheBall. I've never worked with Shakespeare before, which is a sad statement, but now that I'm Romeo, I love it! I'm taking the character to a lot of different levels and it's hard to be serious saying "Two stars in all the heaven do entreat her eyes" in a southern accent or rapping. :)

Shakespeare Scavenger Hunt

Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England
His accepted birthday is April 23rd, and he died the day he turned 52.
Yes he was married, and yes he had children.
The Globe Theater was (and is recreated) in London. The basic structure of the Globe Theater is: A three story, open air amphitheater, 100’ in diameter, round in appearance, with an approximately 1161’ stage in the middle.
Shakespeare belonged to the acting troupe Lord Chamberlain’s Men, whom built and opened the Globe Theater.
Romeo and Juliet seems a little weird. Knowing little about Shakespeare, I’d say he was a cook, but then again, a genius writer. I don’t understand why Juliet just doesn’t run away with him when she finds out he’s a Montague. And she’s like 12! What the heck man?!

Poetry Analysis

Speaker: Lucille is the speaker of the poem, and she's watching Miss Rosie on the street.
Occasion: There doesn't seem to be an occasion, but Miss Rosie's appearance prompts Lucille to speak.
Audience: Miss Rosie is the audience, and we know from the poem she's ragged.
Purpose: The purpose of the poem, to me, is to tell Miss Rosie that even though she's already lost, she's not forgotten, and other people have hope because of her appearance.
Subject: The subject of the poem is Miss Rosie.
Tone: Lucille talks to Miss Rosie rather harshly, and she doesn't seem to feel any compassion for her. Almost like she was jealous of her.
Theme: The theme seems to be that Miss Rosie was once beautiful and amazing, but her beauty quickly faded and all she was left with was her haggard appearance. Once no one looked at her, she became just another bum, and we shouldn't let beauty be the main factor.

What is Poetry?

Poetry can be a lot of things. When I think of poetry, I think of all different styles and formats of writing. I think of Haikus, epics, and Walt Whitman. Poetry is more than stanzas and line spaces and words. It's more than analyzing and reading. Poetry is beauty. You can live a million different lives in poetry, and you can do horrible things. Poetry is just sensical stories. It can mean so much and so little at the same time. Poetry shouldn't be defined as literature organized into stanzas and line breaks. Poetry will always be the most amazing form of writing. That's what Webster needs to learn.

English 9-10: Poetry Connection

'Hope' is the Thing With Feathers:
Emily Dickinson is trying to tell the reader about hope. The meaning of "Hope" is that hope is always there, and it's always sweet or good. It 'never stops -- at all'. Hope keeps 'so many warm' and it takes a lot of horrid things to push hope away. Emily states at the end that she has 'heard it in the chillest land -- And on the strangest Sea-- Yet, never, in Extremity, It asked a crumb -- of me.' Hope is everywhere, and it doesn't ask anything of you. It's always there for you, unabashedly. I chose this poem because hope is always there for you, and it makes you do amazing things. Reading about that makes you want to do those things.
I connected with the poem because hope is a good thing to have. Whenever I'm going through a really rough time, I always try to think of the positive things in my life, or what I'm going to do about the bad things, and, through having hope, I get courage, and, eventually, happiness. Emily Dickinson describes hope so well that you automatically connect with the poem because anyone who has ever had hope knows what it feels like. They also know what it's like to lose it. Having hope makes you invincible.
