This in my periodic table for the Percy Jackson book series, specifically the house of hades. I went though and added things like special characters, items and races. I also made everything colour coded into groups and have a legend to know what the colours mean. I also have a audio recording attached which is a reflection of doing the visualization project, and also is something I will be looking back at later to review my speaking skills.
The 1996 movie William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet was an interesting interoperation of the original play The Most Excellent and Lamentable Romeo and Juliet. The movie is set in modern times, and uses guns instead of swords, but uses the original text used in the play. This makes the movie different from others, even though they usually leave the events unchanged.
The combination of modern and old was not always a perfect match, and was often the opposite. One thing that was obvious to me was the actors were usually either shouting or whispering their lines. This is alright in some situations, like if Romeo and Juliet are trying to be unheard, but they use this too often and don’t have any in-between. This gets annoying when they should just be talking normally. Another problem is the awkward transitions between scenes. These too are also loud, and usually had odd camera angles.. Some other things that weren’t great about the movie was that the actors always were breathing heavy, which got in the way of the dialog and made you miss a lot of the lines. Another problem I have with the film is that when they said the lines, because of the original text, it just sounded like the the actors were speaking their lines, not actually in the situation, so it doesn’t feel as real.
One thing I did enjoy was that they tried to do something different, but that something different just didn’t seem to work, at least for me. I think the reason that they would have tried this was because they wanted to make the movie different from others because there have been so many versions remade from the original play. I also enjoyed one of the transitions, even though it was made the same way as the others. This transition was the transition between Mercutio’s death, and Tybalt’s. What made this one better than the others because the load sounds, weird camera angles, and people shouting works because Romeo is caught up in rage, and the only thing he cares about is killing Tybalt.
Overall, I thought William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet was an O.K movie, but I would have enjoyed it more if they went completely one way or the other, like if they completely modernize it, or base the play entirely in old time, which they then could use the original text.
Today was a strange day of odd events. I married the magnificent Juliet in hopes of joining the families of Montague and Capulet. I was so happy and exhilarated to do this, and so was Juliet. I had made plans for her nurse to bring a rope latter to her balcony and after dark, I could be with my wife, and we could have a chance of happiness. After the wedding, I decided to stroll over to my family’s palace and ran into my cousin Mercutio and my friend Benvolio. We traded jokes as they speculated that I was in a better mood than before. This went on for a while, until Tybalt showed up. He was my cousin now, so I tried to make peace between the two of us. Tybalt was not thinking as I was. Tybalt wanted me to die in a fight, but then Mercutio decided to make cracks at Tybalt, which only made Tybalt angrier. Then I tried to stop Tybalt, but it seemed useless, I couldn’t get his attention. Then Tybalt had switched his attention to Mercutio, and I had a last attempt by standing between the two. Tybalt thrusted his sword underneath my arm, and killed my cousin. I was furious when I saw him lying on the ground, and then Tybalt had the audacity to come back, and he did not deserve to live while Mercutio lie dead. I challenged him, and Claimed him or I would go with Mercutio to heaven. We battled to the death and I ended the fight with Tybalt falling. I am now in hiding and have slim to no chance of joining the Capulets and Montagues. Oh Mercutio, why did you have to push Tybalt? I may have been able to stop his rage if Mercutio hadn’t been so stupid. Why did I have to fight him? Now I am stuck with the blame of Tybalt’s death when I was attacked, not him. The Capulets will hate me, and probably want me dead, and the towns people probably hate me too. Why? Why is my luck so cruel? Why did Tybalt have to kill him? Me and Juliet will lose the chance to have our relative’s permeation to be together in Verona. I have to live knowing that I was the one who caused this catastrophe. My life was going to be well, I was a happy, married man, but only for a few hours. Oh! What a sad day! Sad day! I was foolish to accept Tybalt’s challenge. I had the chance to have a great life! Be responsible for the joining of two great powers. I could have been written about for future generations, and I through it all away, just for revenge. If I would have stayed calm, Tybalt would be under the mercy of the price. I will suffer the death penalty, I will never complete my marriage with Juliet, so much of my life thrown away in a stupid act! I might as well do the job myself, tell the friar to tell my parents I have died, and join Mercutio. Unless I am tolded otherwise, it seems like what may happen anyways.
The book I read was the Heroes of Olympus: Son of Neptune, by Rick Riordon. This is the second book in the second series of Percy Jackson. The first book series is Percy Jackson and the Olympians, which has 5 books along with the second series, which also has 5 books. I think that this was an interesting idea so that people can start with the second series, or it can bring fans over from the last book series. I have read the first series and the First and second book of the next series. One of the cool things that they offer is that they have characters from the last books, but they give you enough information about them.
The first and second Percy Jackson series are some of my favorite books, and the Son of Neptune is no exception. The book starts out with one of the three main characters, Percy, who is being chased by monsters that cannot be killed. The other main characters are Frank, and Hazel, who are all demigods in a world of Roman gods. Percy is trying to get to a camp where he can be safe, and where he may be able to regain his memory. When Percy finally arrives, and he is introduced to the camp, and seems to have a faint relation to this place. In the camp, there are different groups that work together, and Percy is put into the 5th one. Later on, a one of the most important gods of Rome tells Frank, Hazel, And Percy that they have to travel to Alaska to kill a titan, the gods before the Olympians. The trio has to go through a lot of hardships, but they finally make it to Alaska, to fight the titan.
This is a great book that I would recommend for many people. I think this is a good book because you could read this book, or any of his other books as a single book, as a series, or read many of his series. This is because he usually gives a summary of what the characters are at the start of the book, so new readers can still understand. This is good because if you enjoy reading but may not have as much time, so they don’t have to get into such a large series. This makes targeting different audiences easier, because this book can appeal to many different people.
This is a reenactment of a scene from I am Sam about showing friends can mean a lot. The original scene was called the shoe scene and is when Sam is buying shoes for Lucy.
this is a task were i took songs and their lyrics that i thought related to the movie the best. these are the four songs that I thought worked the best.
this is a character alphabet that I created about Lucy, the daughter of Sam in the movie. A character alphabet is when i list off words that start with A-z that relate to that character.
This is what I think of different parts of the movie I am Sam
In this audio clip, I am having a discussion with another person about where Lucy should end up. my opinion is that Lucy should end up in a foster care or adoption, and Sam can visit whenever he wants or can visit. The person I’m arguing with says that Lucy should be with Sam, and Anne can be Lucy’s godmother, and come in and check on Sam and Lucy.
This is it!
