Lessons Learned

One of the biggest premonitions that i have ever had was right before my first basketball game of the season. My team and i were on our way to play the hardest team in the league and i was freaking out. For some reason i kept feeling like someone was going to get badly injured during the game, and that someone was going to be me. All my friends told me that i was just freaking myself out and i would be fine but i still felt like i was going to get hurt. Within the first ten seconds of the game i went up to block a shot and the girl on the opposite team pushed me down. I landed on my wrist backwards and the impact snapped it. Because of that one shot i blocked i was out for the whole season. If i just would have been a little more careful and went with my gut feeling i probably would have been fine for the season. The reason that i neglected listening to my gut feeling is because i really wanted to win the game. We had never beaten the team so the whole team was working really hard. If i just would have been a little more careful we might have won. I also thought that maybe i was just freaking myself out so i just ignored my feelings. overall i am sad that i broke my wrist and we lost the game but it taught me a good lesson, to listen to myself when something really doesn't feel right.

Shakspearen movies

One movie that i can relate very closely to the theme from Romeo and Juliet is the Notebook. In the Notebook both the man and women are crazy about each other, they do everything together. After the Parents of the girl meet the boy though they do not approve of him. They think that she deserves better so they force her to move. This is like romeo and Juliet because in both movies the parents do not approve of the couples dating and they try to force them apart. I think the directors of the Notebook closely related the play Romeo and Juliet to their movie. Although the Notebook seems to be taken from Shakespeare many others do the same as well. Another movie That uses Shakespeare's ideas is 27 Dresses. In this movie the girl is in love with her boss but the boss is getting married to the womens younger sister. The movie is just Like a Midsummer Nights dream. The women is in love with a man who loves her friend. It seemed that Shakespeare was there directing the movie. The characters seemed to match the plays characters almost perfectly.Although these are just two of the many movies that have been copied after Shakespeare's writing he was an amazing writer which is why i hope people make more movies with his ideas for years and years to come.

Shakespearian writing

When i heard we were going to read Romeo and Juliet i was very excited. I have never read or seen a movie on the play, but i have heard much, and know plot the plot line well. then i heard we were watching a midsummers night dream and i was even more thrilled. After watching the movie i feel it is defiantly easier to understand what Shakespeare was saying. It was defiantly helpful to me because now i have an understanding of What Shakespeare will sound like in Romeo and Juliet. Before we started the movie felt that i new the language fairly well but it could defiantly be improved.Overall what helped the most was Mrs. Gilman telling us about the movie before we watched it. This was helpful because then i had an understanding of what was going on even if i didn't fully understand what was being said. My favorite part of A Midsummer Night's Dream was the plot. I loved how Shakespeare switched it up so one minute someone loved this person but the next they were in love with someone else. I was very sad though in the end when it turned out it was all a dream. Other then that it was one of my favorite movies and i defiantly look forward to reading and seeing Romeo and Juliet over the next few months.
