Shakespeare so far

Dear Friend,
I am reading Romeo and Juliet, and so far this book is interesting.
Some observations I have made is that in the beginning of the book
they start out with a bunch of fighting scenes.The beginning scene starts out
in the Capulet house. This book has character that are really wealthy.

  So far also the beginning is cool but it has a lot of articulated words. The words are really confusing.
The story line is good but also a little confusing,because the expressions are also confusing for example there is this expression about "Sir are you biting your own thumb." I didn't really understand what this meant.
I have a feeling that this book is going to have a bunch of twists.

Dreams b langston hughes summary


 Dreams

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow. 


Langston Hughes 
This poem is about dreams, obviously, it shows how dreams can be forgotten, and when you lose your dreams you can be in big trouble. This poem shows that you should stick to your dreams and never give them up. You have to be determined. I liked this poem, because of this reason that it explains what dreams mean to a person. I liked how the poet compared dreams dying to a broken winged bird. He also compared the poem  to snow and the cold. I really thought this poem was interesting.

What is a poem?

Poetry is like a bird singing
under the falling sky. The bird is
showing it's feelings with no one
to stop it. Poetry is like birds flying
together, Poetry shows freedom and brings unison.

Dead Dream Poem

What Happens to a Dead Dream?

Does it get buried in a grave, or does it 
have a heart attack like an average citizen?
Does it have a soul, or does it have a future?
Maybe it just disappears into the night sky 
like a white feather.

Or does it stay as a stone in your heart?

Starry Vincent Night

 Starry Night is a night that is extremely bright.
Scaring the Darkness, Only if Vincent  was 
appreciated, Starry Night would light up their
hearts.

Stars will shine down the sky with joy, Vincent's
starry starry night shows his sealed heart. ONLY
ONLY if everyone understood his work.

Vincent Van Gogh



Starry Night

This is a painting that was made by Vincent Van Gogh.
This picture shows most of Vincent's feelings. He drew this
painting when he was in an asylum. It shows a little town with a church .
It also shows swirling wind, swarming near big yellow balls, seem to be stars.
It shows a hillside and a big tree in the left corner.

 I like Vincent's paintings, because they resemble a piece of Van Gogh's life.
For example the  church resembles the fact that Van Gogh's father used to work
at a church, and Vincent's father wanted him to work there too, but Vincent wasn't cut
out for the job. Vincent also was like a unsatisfactory replacement in his parents eyes, because
he had a brother with the same name who died when he was 3 days old. When the 2nd baby
was born (vincent) they thought he was unsatisfactory. They thought that the 1st baby would have brought them more of a future. His parents also sent him away to a different town, because they didn't think he was cut out for anything they wanted. He loved to paint, but no one actually liked it or ever gave them a second
thought. Later on in his life, he cut off his ear lob, because he was so depressed about people not liking his art
works.

I feel really bad for him.. He had to go through so much, his life was filled with sorrows. I can't believe how his own parents treated him. They were  rude.
If he was alive now I would have admired his art works a lot. He was an amazing artist.

Azkaban!!!!!!!!!!!! Magical Reunion to Sirius

 I am reading the book Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I love the way Harry gets reunited to his Godfather. It happens when Harry  is in his 3rd year in Hogwarts. Harry has been seeing these wanted posters of a criminal named Sirius Black. He escaped a high-facility base named AZKABAN. Harry is scared of Sirius, because he heard rumors, that Sirius is on the lose and he is going to kill Harry Potter.

  Harry and his friends dared to go and look for Sirius. When Ron( harry's best friend ) got pulled under a reaping tree, Harry and Hermione went chasing after. When they got in they saw Sirius and Lupin ( Harry's Dark Arts Teacher) Lupin and Sirius seemed to be good friends. Harry was confused until Sirius broke it to him that he is his godfather. This is Harry's only family.

   I thought this part in the book was really touching, because it shows that even if your parents died you still have family. Family and friends.
