Hello everyone, what is up? Today we will be discussing who is the one who's responsible for the death of Juliet! (Dun dun dunnnn)
Well first of all I think that the ones who are partly responsible for Juliet's death would be both the Capulets and the Montagues familes. However if I had to name one person to name the main cause of Juliet's death, I would say it is Lord Capulet, Juliet's father.
So the main reason why I name Juliet's father as the main cause of Juliet's sadness is because he forced Juliet to marry Paris. This then lead to her becoming very sad that she had to either marry Paris, someone who she does not love, or to die at the hands of her father, who threatened to kill her if she did not marry Paris.
So no matter what Juliet does she will still be unhappy because her one true love, Romeo, is exiled anyways and she tried to kill herself as well, but was persuaded to stop by Father Laurence and take a potion that caused her to seem dead for a while. Then when Romeo comes back, he finds Juliet "dead" and then proceeds to take his own life and then finally ends up as a double suicide with Juliet as well as Romeo.
So in my opinion, the one person that forced or triggered the whole event that leads to both Juliet's and Romeo's death is Juliet's father, Lord Capulet.
Well this ends my post for today, I don't feel well at all, Goodbye!

March Break is Over! D:
Hello everyone and welcome back from March Break. Hope you all had a wonderful break, I know I did...not. Well anyways, the topic of today's post is how passion and violence go hand in hand together. Of course this is based on some quotes from Romeo and Juliet.
The first quote is from Benvolio.
The first quote is from Benvolio.
"He is already dead; Stabbed with a wench's black eye;
Shot through the ear with a love song,
the very pin of his hear cleft with the blind bow-boy's butt shaft."
I believe the theme of this quotation is passion. To start off, the meaning of the quote is how he is so madly in love with Juliet, who is the 'wench' from the quote, that she has control over him. The part "He's already dead" means that it is hopeless, nothing else will effect him and that he is as emotionless as a dead man. The other part "The very pin of his heart..." this is referencing to the center of Romeo's heart and the "blind bow-boy's butt shaft" is cupid's arrow, so in short this would be thought as Romeo being head over heels in love with Juliet, thus is his passion.
The second quote is from Mercutio.
"A plague o' both your houses!"
I believe the theme of this quote is both violence and passion. Violence due to the plague being such an extreme sickness and has a bad reputation of killing about 75-100 million people in the 1400's. It is also passionate because Mercutio feels so strongly about having the plague on both the Capulet and Montague families.
This is it for today, Goodbye everyone and have a nice day!

An Oxymoron!
Hello! How are you all doing? Hmm? what's that? I haven't posted last time? Yes I know and I'm sorry. It seems that with the March Break(WOOT!!!) coming closer, some of my teachers find it the perfect time to give out a couple of projects due right before the break, which is this week. So I haven't been getting enough sleep, even though I sleep almost seven hours a day, and haven't been getting my video game fix for a while now. And to top it all off, i need to get my copy of Mass Effect 3, which in my opinion is the best game series of this generation, great story, game play is smooth and the voice acting along with the animations is just awesome!
Alright no more of me rambling on about my problems it is time to get to the main idea of today's post, which is an oxymoron. However, it isn't just any oxymoron, it is one of the most famous ones, it is from Romeo and Juliet (It's Shakespeare, so you know it's good). Without further ado, the quote is (drum roll please)... "Parting is such sweet sorrow!" To begin, oxymoron's are words that contradict each other and similar to a paradox, but the two contradicting words are usually right next to each other.
An example would be "parting is such sweet sorrow" another example could be "the hurricane turned the island resort into a hellish paradise." Or.....
Oxymoron's are generally used to draw attention towards a pair of words.
This scene is with Juliet saying...
"Good night, good night! parting is such sweet sorrow,
That I shall say good night till it be morrow." (2. 2. 201-202)
...to Romeo and I believe that this used in this scene because both of them has to part away, so that is the "sorrow" part. However at the same time, both of them cannot wait until they meet again and embrace in each others' love, which is the "sweet" part.
Anyways to end this off, my personal experience with a funny situation on YouTube. So here's the story, I was watching a YouTube video when I get a Rogers internet ad about switching and getting better, no lag service. The funny thing was is, I already have Rogers and that the ad was, you guessed it, Lagging. So yea, that was quite funny for me and that is it for today, Goodbye everyone and have a nice break!!

Love and Marriage
Hello people of the country and/or world that I probably never have met before! What is going on, how have you been doing?
I am just procrastinating on a whole bunch of projects/assignments that are due next week so...yea...I may not be blogging much.
Love and Marriage is the topic of today's blog and if you are wondering about why they sudden change of genre to romantic stuff, it is due to the fact that we ( as in me and my English class ) are reading Romeo and Juliet.

So far from what I have read from the story, it seems that some of the women in this story are either married off to someone from a young age or become a nun to escape being married off to some random stranger. So back then women would have two choices, become a nun or be sent to marry some strange man that you have never met before, isn't that great? And yes, I am being sarcastic. This is not what I believe in, people should have the right to choose whom they like to spend the rest of their lives with and not choose between either a life of not much freedom and a life with someone that you may not even love or know very well. In addition, it seems that women in this story do not have much of a voice at all and many times I wonder why do people have so much trouble getting along with others, it is not hard! It is called Social Skills, talk it out people!
To end off, I would like to show you guys a video that would have been VERY useful to know about this afternoon because I had the same problem. Well this is it for today, Goodbye everyone!
