May death do us part
By: Jacqueline von stratum
Here I am standing in the city of Verona where unhidden secrets lay to be yet discovered. With the help of Verona’s citizens and the two affected families, I shall dig deep into this story and find out these so called ancient grudges. This story has been said that the two star crossed lovers themselves have taken a most affectionate, love for each other to there death. It has come to my attention these two house holds both alike in dignity have an ancient grudge between them just developing and increasing more over the years, it has been said that these fights have been going on for a while. But the unexpected happened, two heirs of the house holds (Juliet Capulet), and (Romeo Montague) have been married and with this marriage the two house holds (Montague) and (Capulet) must put their differences aside and assuredly keep peace in all.
Star-crossed
Romeo Montague:

I’m pretty sure you have heard many rumors on Romeo Montague, but today I am here to clear up those rumors. Romeo Montague 16 year old male, very handsome indeed no doubt about it, it has been said that he has an amazing soul, he can drive girls crazy. He had one other lover before Juliet Capulet her name was Rosaline and what is unbelievable is that she was part of the Capulet house hold too. He thought that Rosaline was the love of his life,
but obviously he was wrong because when Rosaline left Romeo to become a nun he went off and found Juliet Capulet. Everybody’s question was Romeo really in love with Juliet or was she just a rebound or perhaps he was not in love with Rosaline and just used, her now we will never find out for he has taken this secret to death.


Juliet Capulet:
Juliet Capulet was a sweet 12 year old girl sweet sensitive mature for her age that’s for sure. Her best friend was her nurse she was practically her mother. She nursed her ever since a baby. Juliet had total confidence over the nurse; the nurse was even part of her and Romeo’s relationship. She also had a cousin named Tybalt; they were pretty close. Most people said she was an honest respectable person.

Testimonies

Benvolio: “in my opinion I think that Romeo was so stupid and retarded for falling for Juliet. Juliet was so easy she was an airhead. It’s all her fault that Romeo killed himself. I do feel sorry that Romeo had to end like this but who can blame them they were so stupid and Romeo does deserve somebody as easy as her. I hate her and there family for this, I hope they rote in hell.”

Nurse: “I am very devastated about my baby’s death. She was so young and Romeo just took advantage of her. She did not deserve to go this way. She was so young, beautiful and had her whole life ahead of her. I wish I could go back in time and not talk to her for Romeo I regret everything I did for her about Romeo and I wish my baby was still here with me."

Consequences: I think that the prince should punish the friar, the nurse and all the house holds involved. He should kick all of them out of Verona and not let them come back, leave them broke and no money what so ever.

My Vi3W ON EUTHANASiA!

My stance on euthanasia has me bewildered because there are so many arguments for and against. I feel like euthanasia can be okay at times if the person is reluctant about it its not okay people should not be killed because another person decides to. I feel earnestly because I’ve seen some cases that some people use euthanasia as an excuse to kill somebody. Sometimes it can be okay because the person that is going through pain does not want to live anymore, but most of the cases I feel like it’s not okay and shouldn’t be allowed. Some people are drawn to the idea and have been told that there’s is no hope for you and nothing can cure you but most people still want the chance to fight for there life. Most before they proceed euthanasia on they feel anguished with no way out and I know that if I was in that position I wouldn’t want that for me because I know I would be able to fight and probably get cured.

"M3RCy" KilliNG!!! :/

1a. Explain George's perspective for what he did to Lennie.

I think that George thought to kill Lennie was the best option because he was sick and tired of running away. He was tired of bailing Lennie out when he needed him. Lennie was mentally disabled and he couldn’t go on anymore. And if Curley would’ve caught them then they would’ve tortured him and killed him in a bad way. When George killed him he was happy and dreaming of something that he really wanted.

1b. Do you think that was the best thing to do for Lennie?

I think that, it wasn’t the right thing to do for Lennie because he was such a nice a guy full of hopes and dreams, but then again yea it was the right thing to do because Lennie couldn’t go on anymore the same thing would happen again and again and it would just always be the same story. People were already after him and if they would’ve cached him they would’ve tortured him or he would die struggling and he didn’t die that way he died happy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2a. Using a "quote" to support your response, explain the father's reasons for what he did.

‘Eluana Englaro, who had been in a vegetative state for 17 years, died Feb. 9 in a clinic in the city of Udine after doctors removed her feeding tubes. She was 38.” Her father disconnected her because it was her daughter’s last wishes he wanted to. I understand his dad and I would’ve probably have done it because maybe it was my daughters last wishes. “

2b. Using a "quote" to support your response, explain if that was the best thing to do for the daughter.

‘Eluana Englaro, who had been in a vegetative state for 17 years, died Feb. 9 in a clinic in the city of Udine after doctors removed her feeding tubes. She was 38.” I think that it was the best thing to do for her daughter because considering that she was in a vegative state for 17 years and they had no hope for her.

2c. Do you agree or disagree with what the father did? Why?

I agree with what the father did because honestly i feel like if she had spent 17 years not moving not doing anything and it was her wishes so i would've wanted to make my daughter happy for the last time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

3a. Imagine and list things that might have been going through the father's mind as he contemplated his "mercy" killing. (In the article, the father's suicide note gives specific evidence of why he did what he did. Elaborate on it.) Specifically, what could he have been negative or paranoid about?

I think that maybe the father thought that there was no way out and he had no other option he was probably thought that why does he have to suffer and not everybody else. He probably thought that life was being so un fair to him. I think that his wife was no help because his wife could’ve probably helped and said there are other options we can get a smaller house or sell our car things like that. He was probably paranoid of losing all he had ever worked for. He felt that people weren’t taking him in notice and they didn’t care about him.

3b. Unfortunately, with America's failing economy, many professionals are losing their jobs. While many do not resort to something as extreme as the man in the article, it does cause stress within families. What are some ways that parents can support children (to succeed in life) that do NOT require money?

I think that what parents can do to support their kids more is that they can spend more time with them. They can maybe talk to them more give them advice. Try not to be so stressed out about work and things. Don’t fight a lot and try to be happy.

hiroshima


This picture really makes me feel sad because when the U.S. was bombing that island they didn’t think about all the little kids getting hurt. And it just makes me feel sad because this is not right and just seeing this gets me mad.

When i see this picture it makes me feel depressed, sad, maybe even a little bit of anger. It makes me feel like that because seeing pictures from how the island looked before and seeing how they look now it would make anyone sad. This island looks completely destroyed it looks very bad. I think that the people don’t deserve this and maybe the president may declare war but not people not all of them agree. And if two presidents have problem they should settle them themselves, and not bring war.


For me what I see in this picture is very little people not a big population. Maybe a small island, now I don’t think that these people on these pictures look full of hate or wanting to destroy anything and anyone. They seem pretty calm not wanting war and just being in peace. And for the U.S. to go and bomb an island that doesn’t seem to be against the U.S. is just wrong.
