Romeo and Juliet

This song is titled Romeo and Juliet. The lyrics in the song are "modern", but the idea and how they feel is the same as it is in the play. Many people now a days make a lot of references to Romeo and Juliet, such as when girls say, "I hope someday I can find a love just like Romeo!". Romeo is made to be the "perfect" boyfriend/husband a girl could ever dream of. Girls hope that they can find their own Romeo. Although it is basically the greatest love story ever told, people always seem to leave out the fact that they both killed themselves. The did NOT live happily ever after. They might have shared the greatest bond that two people could ever have, but it did not turn out the way they wanted. Perhaps the reason for this is because the love they shared overpowered everything else that was important, like their own lives.

I can definitely say that English Class has been an experience to remember. At the beginning of the year I was a little nervous about taking Honors English because I thought that it was going to be a lot more work than regular English, but it turns out that it hasn't been that bad! There was more reading required than I was expecting, but it's been okay so far . I do wish that we could have actually written some poems just because that's what I like to do. I think that the word "motif" has been engraved into my brain by now. During the summer reading assignment I wasn't really sure what that was supposed to be, but now, I can definitely say that I know what it is. I actually really like doing Word Power. I like learning about that kind of stuff because I want to be a doctor when I'm older. I find it an "easy learn". Well, hopefully the last few months of school will be enjoyable. Bring on Romeo and Juliet!
