Romeo and Juliet: Premonitions

Most everyday, I dream as I sleep. That I can remember, my dream has only come true once. So, about three years ago I had this cockateil bird named Sunny. She belonged to my sister actually. Everyone in my family adored her, but yet I thought she was the most annoying thing ever. And one night I had this dream... I dreamed that she had died and truthfully, I was happy about it (she hated me anyways). My whole family was sad but I was secretly celebrating, don't ask me why I had a strong hate for this bird, I wouldn't know the answer.

The next morning I was trying to talk to my mom, but Sunny was squawking and my mom was paying more attention to the bird. So I finally just yelled "gosh I wish you would just die!" (to the bird) because life was so wonderful in my dream. By the way, my mom made me apologize before she would take me to school, it was dumb. But anyways, I got home from school and Sunny had died. I guess I kind of felt bad because everyone else was so devastated. I didn't act on this because one, I wanted her to die and two, i didn't know my dream would come true! I'm not a horrible person and wish death upon people, you would just have to had met this bird...really.

Shakespearean Stories.

The movie I think of when I think of love triangles, mistaken identity, and star crossed lovers is She's the Man. I know it's one of the examples, but it really is what I thought of first! In this movie, Viola disguises herself as her brother Sebastian while he is in London, so she can play on the boys soccer team at his new school Illyria. She falls in love with her room mate Duke, who loves Olivia, who loves Viola. But in the end Duke finds out "Sebastian" is really Viola and he falls in love with her.

This movie is based off the play the Twenth Night by William Shakespear. I'm pretty sure a lot of movies these days are based off Shakespears plays because they were brilliant. People loved them, and I think people figure if they made them more modern, they would be a hit. It is a good idea, and the movies are good.

Shakespeare

When first watching A Midsummer Night's Dream, my thoughts were "what the heck are they even talking about?" But now I can say I can mostly understand what they are saying. However, there are some phrases they say that still confuse me. I think Shakespeare must have been amazing, I mean, I could not write a whole movie with rhyme and meter like he did, even if I tried my hardest. I like the movie so far, I like the fairies and their wonderful costumes. The plot does tend to confuse me though, all the love triangles are hard to keep up with. But all in all it's good.

Romeo and Juliet is a classic story, though I don't truely know much about it. I mean, like everyone else, i've heard about the story from movies or songs, but i wouldnt be able to tell you the plot or anything. All I could tell you is they fall in love, and someone dies, I can't exactly remember who though. I'm excited to read it aloud as a play, I think that it will be fun. A lot better than simply reading it out of a book. I'm most likely not as excited as you, but I am looking forward to it.
