Blog Post #4- Jacob Lebowitz

Right now my class and I are reading the romantic love story of Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare.  Our class went to go see this play in theater a couple weeks ago in Egerton Park.  This is about how Romeo is part of Montague and Juliet is part of Capulet.  Both Capulet and Montague are somewhat enemies.  Although Romeo suddenly met the love of his life Juliet.  Romeo can not believe it and feels he must marry her.  The only problem is that Romeo and Juliet are technically both enemies.  This has just messed up everything.  Juliet is supposed to marry Paris but now she feels she is in love with Romeo.  Anyways, the first time Shakespeare introduced Romeo as a romantic love, "Love at first sight."  He is sad and depressed.  All he wants to do is be alone with sadness.  He is sad because she has disappeared on him.  This really has him distracted and does not feel like doing anything because he is so depressed.  All he wants to do is see her again.  Romeo is a romantic man who wants to be loved.  He wants to find someone that will want him.  I agree with Benvolio, that there are many other women who will want him.  He feels he should not put all of his love on the women.  He should forget this and try and find another women.  I respect Romeo because he is trying to find the right love for him.  Juliet is very young.  She is only fourteen years old and still has 2 more years to wait until she can marry someone.  Everyone from Capulet thinks Juliet is going to marry Count Paris but she feels that he is not the right man for her.  This is Juliet decision not her parents.  Her parents don't really have the right to tell who she should marry whether its Romeo or Count Paris. I do like Juliet.  I like her because she is very nice and understanding.  Although she is not allowed to be outside, she goes outside just to see Romeo and then they kiss.  She is like Romeo just a girl.  I respect Juliet and her decision to be with Romeo.  Both Romeo and Juliet are showing both Montague and Capulet that both sides are not enemies but friends.  In all, Romeo and Juliet are meant to be with each other cause they fell in love first sight.

Self Evalution

I thought my performance and write up about my performance was alright.  I think like Cassidy washing to not right so much "fluff."  I really just wrote all this fluff to fill up word space and really want the IB people who are grading my essay to know what I did to be here today.  I also think I should try and talk less about every single thing I did to prepare myself for the act.  I want to add more about the performance and not as much about the literary analysis.  In my write up I wrote a lot about the literary analysis instead of the performance.  I feel that I do need some fluff or else there will be a bit of confusion about whats going on.  I should edit more of the literary analysis though and compare more Tom's emotion in the play to my performance.  I could also probably talk a little bit about Grace and I working together to fill up some space.  My biggest issue is the words and getting to 2000 words.  I feel it will be hard t...

Oral Presentation Practice:

#1.)  When I read the chapters, “The Wall of Fire Rising” and “Night Women” in the book Krik Krak by Edwinge Danticat, these two stories seemed to be the most eye catching to me.  When I say eye catching, they seemed different that all the other stories because most of these stories talked about the Hatian Culture and how everyone was fleeing the country because of the Macouts.  The Government was in full control of the Haitian people.  I thought these two chapters had a connection because they both have a mother and son but no father.  I thought this would make a good piece in our created performance cause we could see what both sides looked like in both stories.  In both chapters, Little Guy and Night Womens son were going through a tough time because Little Guy just lost his father and Night womens a prostetute.  After all, it seemed like the performance worked out by putting Lily as Night Women and Little Guy as Night Women's son.  It was a ve...
