Romeo and Juliet

We just finished the play Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare. I thought it was a very good play but the words and how it was set up was very challenging to understand at first. For example when they used the word thy, thou, tis, etc. After we started really getting into the play though, I started to pick up on what they were saying a lot easier.

In the beginning of the story romeo was very depressed because he was in love with this girl but she wasn't in love with him back because she was a nun. Soon though Juliet came along and Romeo fell deeply in love with her and she fell deeply in love with him. This was a problem though because Romeo is a Montague and Juliet is a Capulet and these two families hated each other. During the end of the play Tybalt (Juliet's cousin) got into it with Mercurtio (Romeo's cousin) and Tybalt ended up killing him. This infuriated Romeo and he ended up killing Tybalt and he was forced to leave town by the Prince. When Juliet found out he left, she drank a sleeping potion to pretend to be dead to loer Romeo back into town. When Romeo found out she was "dead" he drank a poison potion and it killed him. When Juliet found out he was dead, she stabbed her self dead.


I think this is a Tragedy play. I think this because for one, Romeo and Juliet both died and never reunited with each other. Also the families didn't like each other so they couldn't be together. Also many of Romeo and Juliet's family members were killed because of their rivalry.

 

Mocking Jay

I have started reading the third and final hunger games book called Mocking Jay by Susanne Collins. I really wanted to read this book because I just saw catching fire and I really want to know what happens next. In this book so far, Katniss is discovering what really happened to district 12. While she was gone, her district was attacked and destroyed by the government. Luckily though her mom, her sister Prim, and Gale and his family escaped and made it out ok. 

I predict that Katniss will try to get revenge with the government because she was already infuriated with them about making her go back to the arena. I also predict that she will put a stop to all the hunger games or at least try because in the book she was tired of being pushed around by the government and she seem like she wanted to put a stop to all of it.
