Romeo and Juliet stuff #1

HOLA!!!! ARRIBA!!!
Alright, I'm going to get off to a fast start here with my Romeo and Juliet blog, so here we go! The first thing that I would like to point out on this book is something that I realized while reading it: For one, it says that Juliet's thirteen and this guy Paris (I bet he looks like Pius Thicknesse) wants to marry her. EW! And another thing, Juliet's mom says that she was her age when she got married, which means that Mrs. Capp (I'll get to their names in a second) was thirteen when she got married. DOUBLE EW!! That also means that if Juliet got married at thirteen, Mrs. Capp would be a grandmother at twenty six. TRIPLE EW!!! I don't need a lecture on "That's just what they did back then" but it still grosses me out a little. Going back to the names, I got tired writing Capulet and Montague and hippopotomonstrosusquippidaliophobia over and over again (...okay maybe not that last one so much) so I shortened all their names. Here's my list so far:
Lord Capulet-Mr. Capp (I chose the last name Capp because when I was little I had this computer game called the Sims 2 where there was this neighborhood called Veronaville where there were two families: the Capps and the Montys. So I shortened the last names according :) )
Lady Capulet-Mrs. Capp
Juliet-Juliet (I kept the main characters the same)
Tybalt-Tyler
Sampson-Sam
Gregory-Greg
Abraham-Abe
Benvolio-Benny
Nurse-Nurse
Prince-His Royal High Highliness Prince Jennifer of Verona the Great Nation of Smallness (...:) )
Lord Montague-Mr. Monty
Lady Montague-Mrs. Monty
Romeo-Romeo
Paris-Pius
Mercutio-Mac
And that's all the named characters that have been introduced so far.
Well that's all for today compadres. See ya!
Ribonucleic Acid ;)

ANTSIJ Stuff #2

Hiya y'all.
Here we go:

1. Irony:
1. One examply of irony in this play is that Henry Williams spent all this time being a slave and escaping, but then dies when he is free.
2. Another example of irony is how Waldo is supposedly doing all of this stuff to stop the war and to get peace, but then goes into a war with Henry.
3. Also, Waldo gets mad at Henry for being removed from Concord but saying how things should be, but this entire time Waldo has been in England saying how things should be.
2. Characters:
1. The most important, of course, is Henry. I would choose Johnny Depp to play Henry just because Henry believes that living simpler is actually smarter, and Johnny Depp plays a lot of characters that may seem mad on the outside but are actually quite smart, like Henry. Also I just like Johnny Depp :)
2. Waldo is also a very important character, and I think that Richard Griffiths should play him because for one, he is old, and also he plays a lot of characters that look like they're doing good on the outside, but really are not doing very much on the inside, like Waldo.
3. I would say that another important character is John, and I think that Colin Firth should play him because John is a very peaceful and calm character and, well, Colin Firth just seems right for the job. Of course, all of my actors would have to adopt American accents ;)
3. I think that Henry's protests are succesful in the end because the war ended. It may not be because of his protests, but his goal was acheived nevertheless.

Well that's it for today, Hasta los Tacos! Maybe I'll do my next post in Spanish...

ANTSIJ and Bananafish stuff

Hey guys. It's Molly (duh)
Bananafish:

1. Muriel really reminds me of Sally from CITR because all she talks about with her mother is clothing and Seymour's behavior instead of how everything's going, the scenery, and all that type of stuff. It is also sort of evident that she doesn't really love Seymour all that much, as she lost the German book he gave her and doesn't really stick up for him that much, and it reminds me of how Sally doesn't really like Holden.
2. Sybill reminds me of Phoebe from CITR because she is innocent and curious and very trusting of strangers. Seymour sort of sees her as like this little clean and good spot in his life at the moment (as in Florida) like Holden sees Phoebe.
3. Seymour sort of reminds me of Holden from CITR because he has really worked himself into a pit. He doesn't really like Muriel because he killed himself and he really doesn't enjoy all that materialistic stuff like Holden.

ANTSIJ stuff:

1. I think that the quote, "Our own school, John, no buildings. Break out of the classroom prison. All we need is the sky!" really refers to transcendentalist thought because part of transcendentalism is not really believing in the whole organized government and religion, and how each person should be self-reliant. "Breaking out of the classroom prison" is like saying to not go along with the rest of the population and be your own person, living off the simple land and not relying on others to teach you things that they think that everyone needs to know.

So yeah that's it for today. Penguins in space ^_^
