Culture Shock

Ever since Shakespeare released the play Romeo and Juliet was released, it inspired many other plays, and the progression of movies, to base them on 2 lovers, or "star-crossed lovers". Movies in the present day, like the ones listed from this website, http://www.lovefatedestiny.com/2009movies.htm, were influenced by the start of Shakespeare's play. Many ideas of movies are based around the plot of Romeo and Juliet.

english reflection

I thought that Honors English was hard in the beginning of the year, but now I realized thats it's extremely easy. Just kidding it's pretty hard, and I've learned alot so far, including how to analyze themes/motifs/settings and more. I'm getting DGP better, except for diagramming, which I don't fully understand yet. Getting there though. I think that the blogs have been productive with our learning, and it's an easy grade too.

I've liked the books we read, although Great Expectations kind of sucked in the beginning, it got better though. One thing I don't like is annotating. Every time when I finish reading the amount we're supposed to its like NO I have to do annotations when I'm about to fall asleep. Other than that, it's been a great year, I had fun doing presentations, watching videos, and everything else.
