Romeo and Juliet – True Love or Forbidden Love

I think they are both doing it because they love each other and if they do get married then maybe their families can stop arguing a lot. I think they are doing that because they are willing to get married in order to make peace between both families. They are also getting married because they both see that they love each other and see something special in each other. Another reason they want to get married is because they think if they get married that their parent will be happy because they are married. I think their love might last. The reason I say might is because what if one of their parents convince them to get a devoice and they do.

Romeo and Juliet Love at First Sight

The problem with Romeo and Juliet falling in love at first sight is that, they were from the fighting families. Romeo should have never sneaked into the ball, where he saw Juliet. They also aren't allowed to talk to each other; while they do talk they are betraying their families. Juliet is supposed to be married to another guy and she doesn’t love him. Juliet wants to be with Romeo and Romeo wants to be with Juliet. This connects to modern life because when people are in love, sometimes they can’t be together because of family problems or because they just can’t be because of other people.

Romeo and Juliet – Conflict in Verona and San Diego



The conflicts that happen in Verona during Romeo and Juliet's time is like any conflict.  fighting between families or groups, like gangs. They both fall in love with someone they don't know like kids at San Pasqual Academy. They also have parents that are trying to make them marry diffrent people, or do things they want. For all these reasons both their families are in a feud, Romeo is in love with a girl, and Juliet is supposed to be married to a older guy that she hardly knows. This connects because we see that around us every where we go.

Romeo and Juliet control or fate

I think people control their own destinies.  The reason why I think people control their own destiny is because people know the right decisions and the bad decisions. Another reason why is because if people didn’t chose for themselves then other people will be choosing their fate for them. And one last reason why I think people chose their own fate is because when people make a decision they must think ahead of time and see if it’s good for them or bad. Romeo and Juliet do die as a result of their own control because they both fell deeply in love with each other that they both killed themselves.

SPA Prom 2011 or Free Write

     

Yes I attended the 2011 prom. Our school prom took place at Hotel Del Coronado. I went in a black and red tuxedo. My date was Tierra and she wore a black dress with a red scarf, and a black and silver mask. When we first got there, it was really packed and I wanted to be inside but we had to take pictures for Debbie Syrucs.

     Later on after dinner everyone started to dance and have fun. While everyone danced Wayne announced the prince and princess and the king and the king. I really wanted to know who was going to win. The princess was Jennifer M, and the prince was Marcos G. mean while the queen was Shanice and the prince was Tedra. I thought it was good that they won because most of them deserve it especially the seniors. When prom was over I was happy until we had to go on the bus and come back here. :(

Shakespeare Introduction Paragraph

Who was William Shakespeare? William Shakespeare was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's preeminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet. His surviving works, including 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon. At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, who bore him three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. Between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men. He appears to have retired to Stratford around 1613, where he died three years later. The reason why this topic is important is because most of the plays that he wrote were copied and retold. And the books he wrote they were also copied and published all around the world.

"Romeo & Juliet Before" Paragraph

What I know about "Romeo and Juliet" is that they are two young lovers that fall in love and sooner or later Romeo dies and Juliet notices that she really wants to be with Romeo forever so she kills herself. Now when it comes to Shakespear I dont know alot all I know is that he wrote a lot of books. Three questions I have about Romeo and Juliet is 1) How do they fall in love? 2)  Does Romeo die for Juliet? 3) Does this inspire some readers.

First draft

When an athlete is really good at a sport that’s all they think about but what they aren't thinking about Is the career good for them so they can provide for their family, and also be happy with their job, or is it just a dream crushing sport that might end all their dreams forever? When it comes to sports some people think it’s not a great idea for a career because of the injuries that occur. But to tell the truth if people know how to play the game and know what they are doing then they will be fine. Many kids play sports when they are younger from football to baseball because their parents want them to be an active child while they are young. so when kids get to the age where they start to notice that they love playing sport they might see as being a pro one day a goal. But other kids might think that sports are not their thing and might just stick to the book. playing sports can be a successful career because people can have fame, money, and can accomplish their goals, but sports can also be a unsuccessful career because people can end up in a wheel chair, or wont even be able to accomplish any dreams they used to dream about.



Playing sports can be a successful career. After an athlete retires after having such a good career they try and spend some extra time playing the sport they use to play because they loved the game so much. A successful athlete said "Ever since I was little I dreamed about playing the sport and I set a goal to go pro and accomplished it." Another athlete said "after retiring from the game my life has gone good I got fans, fame, and I changed the game what else can I ask for?" Those are some reasons why playing sports can be a successful career.

Playing sports can also be an unsuccessful career because in a contact sport like football peoples careers can end in just on play from a surprising catch, to a devastating hit. Isaac Bruce all pro wide receiver said " when I was going up for the game winning catch I said to myself , " yes we are going to win" and then CRACK!!! My lights went out and later I noticed that my career was over like that." Careers can be ended or crushed by a hard hit like this one. Another reason playing sports is an unsuccessful career is because when an athlete retires it can be hard for them to go out into public without getting bombarded by a group of reporters. Asking how they felt after the injury or retirement. One last reason playing sports can be an unsuccessful career is because an athlete loses more then the activity of the sport after they retire. They also lose teammates, coaches, and all those involved in helping the athlete to succeed. Those are some reasons why playing sports can be an unsuccessful career.



When it comes to sports as a career there are many people in the world that think it’s a good career. But not everybody thinks the same there are people that think it’s a bad career because of the past. Some athletes said that “In this game injuries are bound to happen because it’s a contact sport. It’s just that some hits can be a career ender, or the hit might sting a little bit and end up on channel five for top ten highlights. Athletes train almost daily on perfecting skills and techniques required for their particular sport. Some skills such as team-work can be used in new areas, and there is likely to be new resources and skills required for their new job. When athletes get hurt the injury is most likely going to happen in a game it is rare for an athlete to get hurt during practice. But if an athlete was to get hurt in a game the injuries would verify from an ankle sprain to a career ending concussion. Those are some reasons why sports careers can be a good and bad thing.



Playing sports as a career can be good and bad. It's good because people can say they had fame, fans, and accomplished a goal. But it's also bad because people’s career can end in just one play or by one injury. So that is why playing sports as a career can be a good and bad career. When the word sport comes to peoples mind about a career people think many different things. Some people think that it can be good because it’s a shape keeping job, it gives people fame and fans, and most of all it can be a life accomplishing goal. On the other hand people think that it’s just a bad idea because of the career ending injuries, or the hassle it can give to retired players. When people think of sports some might think it can be a good career because it keeps people in shape, gives people fame and fans, and most of all they can help other people with foundations or fundraisers. And on the other hand some people think its bad because people can get hurt, retirement can also be bad for players that have a lot of love for the game, and pros also lose some people that are close to them like their coach, but playing sports can be a successful career if people and athletes are up to accomplishing and succeeding the goal.

summarize, Paraphrase, and Quote Peers’ Posts

As we all may not know, it is extremely important to know how to quote people of saying's you have used, to be able to summarize a book, or even paraphrase it. A quote would be needed to give a writer and communicator his or her credit for what they have said. Otherwise it would be considered plagiarism if you didn't. A summary comes important when a friend asks you about a movie you just saw and what it was about. Some may not have time for a full summary so they can just give you the main ideas of the movie with a paraphrase. This may sound the introduction to my lesson but this is it! It is this simple! To summarize is to restate the story, a paraphrase is the restating of main ideas, and a quote is something said by someone else. Just go over this a couple times and I'm sure you will get the hang of this!

San Diego County Third-Person Paragraph

When people attend a Padres or Chargers game they should be super happy especially if it’s their first time because they get to watch the two different teams play in the same stadium and not in front of the TV they got in the living room. Also when people attend a padres or chargers game they should be thankful that they get to see pro athletes perform and be able to watch them on the field because if the athletes didn’t have a game that day then they would have to stay home and do something else. When attending a padres or chargers game people should limit their drinking because people might bring their kids or little siblings and it’s not good if people are getting drunk and starting fights in front of little kids especially at a sports game. Also when attending a padres or chargers game people should be grateful that they are at the game because someone else could have taken their spot or seat so that is why people should be thankful when they attend a padres or chargers game.

Free Write

Today is a free write so I am choosing to write about how kids on this campus need to stop complaining about little things. I am choosing this topic because today I noticed that there was a JR in my sixth period class that was complaining about a subject we were talking about because he couldn’t accept the fact that he was wrong so he made a bid deal about it. And honestly to tell you the truth he acts childish a lot.  Another reason why I am choosing this topic is because kids on this campus have to see that this place is better then most place. Most places kids can’t use computers, phones, sleep with the door closed, and in some places kids have to ask before taking a shower. Unlike SPA we are allowed to have our phones, computers, we can sleep with our doors closed and we don’t have to ask before taking a shower. That is why kids on campus need to stop complaining about little things that don’t need to be argued about.

President Obama’s Big Announcement

To learn about Osama bin Laden’s death I was told by a supervisor while I was lying down on the girls rec couch. In my mind I was thinking that we finally caught the master mined behind the tragedy of 9/11. first US troops were searching for him after the 9/11 attack, next they were sent to Afghanistan, then they were given a tip that he was hiding out in Pakistan, finally the Navy Seals took charge and took down the al-Qaida leader. Now I am starting to think that the US can focus on other things then terrorism.

  Now that I have read and watched the news, I predict that since the US took out Osama bin Laden that the terrorist might try and attack the US for revenge. One thing I predict is that terrorist might go for the same targets they went for last time to try and get their point across to America again. I think it will happen again because they did it once and we ended up killing their leader so for revenge they might go for the same target again. Another thing I predict is the terrorist level in the US will go up a lot because of what happened to the Al-Qaida leader. I think this might happen because the US and the president might want to be aware and make sure that no terrorist attacks will take place in the future. I hope that nothing happens to the US because what happened to Osama bin Laden was necessary because that man killed innocent people just to try and get his point across to America.

Posters in the Hall

The reason why it is wrong to just have a white men’s quote on the wall is because not just white men have good quotes some people are Michael Jordan, Malcolm X, martin Luther king jr, tupac. Another reason why it might be wrong is because what if someone thought it might be a little bit rasist and started flipping out. So that is why it is good to have quotes from different colored people so some people won’t get offended. Because I know some people that will get super mad if they think something is racists because it’s not right. So that is why its wrong to have quotes from just one race on the wall.
