Good afternoon dear readers- I have failed to bring you the usual 2 posts a week this past weekend due to some personal things that have kept me busy to today I will be posting about 2 things- both my book and Romeo and Juliet, the play I'm sure we have all heard about due to it's many recreations in several forms of... Art I guess.
First off, I will talk about my book. Oh dear gosh is this a good book. (Kind of on the graphic side though if your imagination is as actice and creative as mine is.) Through Glass is so fantastic- it has wonderful characterization so far, and there are so many suspense filed moments I just can't take it! Our main character, Alexis, has finally decided and accomplished leaving her house. Within this accomplishment, the death toll has risen again-now to about 3 Ulama (otherwise known as tar) and 2 human. I can't reveal WHO has died, as that would ruin so much about her development- but boy has she developed. Alexis is no longer a submissive rule follower- she is busting out of the boundries she's been placed into by the Ulama, facing and beating death head on again and again, just to try to find others, find information, find anything! Her effort is inspiring honestly- it would make anyone root for this girl like I am. I can only wait and read on to see what she uncovers about the creatures that destroyed everything she ever loved and more in this thrilling book. And so I read on!
Now for today's interesting bound into the characters in Romeo and Juliet! There are many things I could say about the people within this story- and how they affected our common character 'generes' that we have in most litterature today! (Thanks Shakespeare!) I will be focusing on the main 2 today though- Romeo and Juliet themselves.
Romeo, oh Romeo, you are rather controlled by your emotions aren't you dear Romeo? I have discoverd this throughought the short amount of the play that we have covered in language arts class- and it has caused me to take a look into you for some reason as to why this is. Romeo has 'fallen in love;' about 2 times now since we stared this play. Though many may see this as not a good sign for a male character, I think it shows something a bit deeper about the boy. Romeo has a rather open heart- he loves easily and often, and from what we can see, when this love ends he is damaged by it too- meaning there is defanetly some true emotional connection to him when he proclaims his so called 'love' to others. I believe that this is a sign of a good person, and had he lived and not died from this love's unfortunate connections, I think in due time he would have managed to end the feud between the families. I'm not sure about how I feel about you messing around with Juliet yet boy, but I do think your heart is in the right place in the end.
Darling baby Juliet, you're of the tender and very young age of almost 13. You seem so innocent to me- but also slightly aware of just what control your actions have upon others. With Romeo's influence, you will probably loose this control, and subsuquently suffer from it- but if you had survived, I feel it would have made you a beter person an thus this puts you in the light of good in my head when it comes to characters. Though Ifeel I don't know you quite as well as dear Romeo, I think I might just become attached to you in the end after all.
And with those parting words, I bid thee farewell- and back to reading I go! See ya readers!
