Romeo and Juliet end prediction


Romeo and Juliet love eachother but they are from rival families and it would be bad if they came together and married. The Friar thinks it would bring the two families together. Tylbalt will try to kill Romeo and will end up being more than just Romeo being killed.

Romeo and Juliet story/characters/context

The main character has emotions like being super sad because the girl he loves doesn't love him back. The main character has no intentions of finding another girl. A theme that seems to be in the story is that he finds another girl and talks with her and kisses her.

Important quotes:
My only love, sprung from my only hate!
Too early seen unknown and known too late!
Prodigious birth of love it is to me
That I must love a loathed enemy

O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my loveAnd I'll no longer be a Capulet.


Key:
Underlined = Ineternal motivations
Bolded = Character actions 
Italicised = Themes and big ideas

Romeo and Juliet movies

The first and second movie clip were the most realistic because they had the actual masqueraid and followed the actual plot of the story. The third clip was set more near the future and isn't as medival as the other two. The first one was probably the most realistic because they had a large castle (I think that's what it is) and they stuck to the lines that they originally had.

Evaluating and planning

My book ends with the guy getting the girl, like every other action book with a guy and girl as main characters. Nailer saves Nita from her kidnappers and brings her back to her family in a different land. Yes It did end the way I thought it would. I would defintely recommend this book to a friend, its still the same kind of action book as the others but it has a different setting and different types of characters.

For how I pick a new book I just find a book that has action and something that looks intriguing. I look for anything that looks interesting, I don't go for the same author each time unless the series looks super cool. The style can be the same every time and I don't really pay attention to that to be honest. I always read something that is kind of believable but somewhat made up. I don't know what the difficulty is until I start reading the book, most times I just go ahead and read the book anyways and try to comprehend the book as best I can. I don't have a specific prefference on what point of view the book is told from but if I had to choose it would have to be 3rd person through the book. It gives a shallow look into every character and not just one character in particler other than the main character/s. No I have not heard of any good books so far, I go to the librarian and ask for recommendations on which books to read.

Book review


  • The book's conflict is in the beginning with Nailer being stuck in a tank of oil and not being able to get out of it. The story is mostly only day after day of Nailer going to the downed oil tankers and stripping them of their copper wiring and trying to find things that are of worth to him.
  • The problem was resolved by him being thrown rope and dragged out, but he had a rusty blade in him that cut him in his stomach. Pima's mom stitched it up but said that if it had gone even a centimeter more he would have died.
  • I would reccommend this book to a friend because it's about making your place in business and fighting to stay alive day after day by working hard while almost dying.
The book begins with Nailer crawling through the oil tanker searching for wiring for the daily quota. Nailer doesn't pay attention on how far he crawls without looking down and he falls into a pit of oil. He calls for help and his partner comes but she thinks about the amount of money it could bring her, not even thinking about Nailer and saving him. She gets cut of from the crew because she broke the blood oath. The day after this happens a large storm begins. He thinks of abandoning his dad and find higher ground. The storm sweeps the beach clean and all the people who survived the storm meet there. They find a clipper with a girl in it, but the clipper could make them a lot of money.

Question number 3 answers

No I do not constantly re-read what I just read. The narrator does a good job at seperating the actions of all the characters in different scenes. The narrator does a good job at explaining what is going on in every scene. I can imagine myself in most parts of the book, like there is a part where the main character is in a tank of used oil. He moves his hands around to find things to hold on to and he finds a pipe that he throws his arm around and holds there. No, not really even though he explains eveything well. This story is great!

Short story

He had dreams of becoming famous not from sports, but from memes. He had dreams of creating the dankest of memes and having everyone laugh from it. His name is Ethan Alderink, Ethan didn't have the right mindset when he first created dank memes. He traveled accross the world to find inspiration, he wanted to learn the ways of the dankest. He tried to find the dank in everything, but it didn't feel right. He searched for the legend in all the books who had created the most dank memes the world has ever seen, he searched far and wide to find him until one day. He was walking through the streets of Holland and a man passing handed Ethan a note,"Come to Centennial park in five minutes." He must have been mistaken for another man, but never the less he turned around and traveled to the park. He walked up to the same man that had passed him and crossed his arms on the cold steel surround the fountain and he asked
"Who are you?"
"I'm the man you've been searching for"
"Caleb Doctor?"
"Yes, that is me." He removed the hood off his head and showed his face. "I have the ideas you've been searching for."

My perspective on reading

          I am a person who reads only when told to, if it's for homework I do it. When I finished the reading required I read nothing more. I still get deep into the book but once I finish, I'm done and leave everything in the book. I love reading because it can expand your imagination and vocabulary but in most cases the imagination that comes to me is fiction and then I start thinking about it more and more. The books can't actually happen like wizards and saving the world from total domination and death. I remember when I was in about 4th grade and my class went to the library to check out books like we normally do every week but for some reason I can't remember I couldn't check out one of the four books I had picked out. I remember crying about like I had to read that book and I couldn't check it out. It took me half an hour to calm down and be fine with the fact that I couldn't check out that book. The most reading I have done has been at home but not recently, mostly now I only read at school. It's probably a 10 to 1 difference of how much time I spend my time reading at school to reading at home. The best I have read had to be "The fall of olympus," it has to be the best book I have ever read. A lot of the fact why is because I was into the series and that was all I read. The worst book has to have been one of the magic tree house books, looking back on it now it always had the same ending. The cliché of them always getting home right before dinner or getting home late.
