Blog #4 due Saturday by 11pm.

At the beginning of the plot, Romeo as one of the dramatic role who uses poetic language to explain his love to Roseline. His love to Roseline is fanatic----he refused Benvolio's suggestions to meet more girls in the party. His speech for Roseline's love can be a vivid example, he mentioned that “ “Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs”, it indicates that he lives in a world which is consisted with love instead of power. he even doesn't care the fights between two families. However, in my opinion, he is the person who enjoys the time that he falls in love with someone instead of loving the person. To be more specific, he loves the feeling of love. For the reason, after I read all his speech of Roseline. His love for Roseline is from imagination. For example, the sentences “She will not stay the siege of loving terms, O, she is rich in beauty, only poor That, when she dies, with beauty dies her store.” explains that his respect and imagination to the women. However...

class activity yesterday

 I was in the group 3 which has 30 seconds to perform the Romeo and Juliet. We chose the ending of the whole story because we think it is the best part for us to explain the love between Romeo and Juliet. Also, the death and hatred happen among them. At the end of the performance, all people die. Comparing the activities among all three groups, all of us has some common points such as death, love, confliction, and tragedy. Since I think it is the main part of the story that Shakespeare wants to explain. However, there is also some difference between the plots and highlight plots. For example, in our activities, we highlighted the death and love. The consequence of their love is death. However, the performance in the first group, they show not only love but also confliction. The form of the first group is like mime which has no scripts for roles. it is clearer for the audience to know what is happening. Moreover, the player ...

performance for fences

I have never read this book before since I have never knew this is our summer. As a result, when the first time  I chose my monologue randomly. The truth tells me it is a hard part for me to performance because i should performance with not only sadness but also mad.  At the first time, I totally messed up. For the reason, I can not bring myself into the role. I can not be sad and mad as she does. i began laugh every half of the performance.  However, i began to imagine her emotion and her feelings even her love to her husband. Later, i understood this is a woman who was so disappoint to her husband and felt despair to her husband. There must be a layer of emotion. As a result, I performance an emotion which was changed from mad to sad. For the reason, according to this part " it is your papa or mama or my papa or my mama. "  I though it is more sad of her to think about her own family and own life. I displayed the emotion through highlight some significant word...

Their sincere love could not show in front of all the people because of their families. As a result, they married with each other as a secret. Under the control of feudal ignorance. There are lots of people die during the feudal family fight. At last, Romeo was also exiled because of death of Julia’s cousin. Julia’s father arranges her marriage with the person who she doesn’t really love with. She has no choice but obey the priest---drinking the fake potion and waiting for Romeo. She went to the priest to find a way that she...
