A Much A Do About Nothing

    In the play A much Ado About Nothing I liked many things about it like how they structured it out. For example in the night time the lights were dimmer and and in there was a circle on a wall that shows the mood for instance when it was a sad or bad mood the lighting was dark red or other dark colors. When it was a happy mood they would put bright lights. 
   Another thing that I liked was that the actors were very close to the audience and the actors were clear when they spoke. I also liked that the actors looked like how the people looked in the 1920's the men wore suits and the women wore dresses. Instead of the modern way that people dress. 
  These are the reasons that I liked the play A Much A Do About Nothing.

Reading Response 3/15/12

I currently reading I Am Number 4 it is basically about a teenager and his guardian that came from a planet that was destroyed by another planet, and now those same people are tracking them down in earth. But the Mogadorians the aliens that destroyed their planet are trying to hunt every single alien from the planet that got destroyed. So far John the main character is always on the look because there were 9 of the aliens but they already killed 3 by order, now the main character knows he is next because he is number 4. John knows when the others died because he always gets a burn on his leg he has three now he knows he's next. Since John is an alien he has powers and his guardian is the person that raised him, and the person who is training him. Although Henri John's trainer is an alien but doesn't have any powers. The reason I like this book is because the action suspense and how in every chapter something new happens.

Romeo and Julliet Response

  When Romeo went to the party that he was convinced to go he mentioned it as a bad luck. I think that he was right and wrong, I think he was right because Juliet was at the party but he went to see the girl that he did like Rosaline. But the coincidental thing that happened was that he met Juliet and he completely forgot about Rosaline, and after he fell in love with her he found out that she was part of the Capulet family, the family that his family was rivaled with for many year. I think that if he did not go to this party he would have lived longer. So I do believe that going to the party was actually bad luck because they were also very young, But on the other hand it was also good for Romeo and Juliet to meet each other because if not Romeo would have kept on trying to make Rosaline  fall in love which she wasn't,and Juliet probably would have married Paris which she didn't love. So it was good that they met each other because they loved each other even though it was a short period of time.

Romeo and Juliet

Dear,_____

I am reading Romeo and Juliet and I realized that there are many things involed in the story for example in act 1 scene 1 Gregory and Sampson servants of the Capulets Juliet's family do not like the Montague family. I know that the Montague and the Capulet family are rivals it's probably the reason Gregory and Sampson do not like them. Romeo doesn't know who Juliet is and he is in love with a girl named Rosaline. He doesn't know Juliet because of the family rivalry.

Sonnet

I like it when my team hits the ball hard 
I like the bat with a good amount of mass.
I like it when the ball goes really far

I like the color of the bright green grass.
I like the roughness of the orange dirt.

I like when my opponents miss an easy catch.
I like the color and the stripes on my shirt.
I like it when its a really good match.
I like it when we win an amazing game. 
I like when I see the ball in the air.
And look at the lineup and see my name.
I like it when I feel the sweat on my hair.

I like the sound with the ball with the bat.
I like baseball and thats a true fact.

Poems

What is a poem

A poem is a piece of art
that you can read
or sing with a beat.
most songs are poems

Some poems rhyme
Some poems repeat
Since it is a piece of art
it can be anything you want it to be

Great painter
Realism
Artistic
Now inspired by many people
Talented

Was inspired by Jan Van Eyck
One of the well known artists
One of many impressionism painters
Determined

What happens when you die.
will people talk about you.
will they judge you for the things you did wrong.
will they mention the good things about you.
or would you be remembered at all.

Grant Wood

  
 Grant Wood was born on February 13, 1891. He was raised in a farm like environment for example he wasn't raised in the city. From 1920 to 1928 he studied painting styles like impressionism after he graduated high school  in 1910.
    Somebody that inspired him was a painter named Jan van Eyck. This person inspired Grant Wood by making a new technique of art. Jan van Eyck was part of the renaissance time period and he drew very realistic due to what the people liked at the time period. So I think that had to do alot about the inspiration of drawing realistic. 
Grant wood made this painting because he was inspired and sort of fascinated by a house known as the American Gothic house. He was inspired by the design of the house's window. One thing that I liked about this painting is that Grant Wood painted the people that he thought would live in that type of house at the time. Since he was not from the city and in the early 1900's this is how he would have imagined the wealthy people at the time.
