So far Acts I-III are really interesting with the conflict and all. It is awesome that Shakespeare does get to the conflict right away unlike books. I thought that Lord Capulet is an interesting character simply for the thing that he does toward the end of Act III, when he told Paris that Juliet would marry him on Thursday, because he had said that they would wait until Juliet was older. The funny part about that is that Juliet is already married.

Hmmm...I wonder what is gonna happen because of that?

Other things that I have noticed, Friar Lawrence, what a character he is.
He is interesting because he is going to try to bring peace to the conflict between both families when the conflict already is pretty big, the Tybalt death and all.
I have noticed a theme which is the individual versus society. This is shown very simple, by the way in which Romeo and Juliet can't be together because of the conflict between both families.
"Patience perforce with willful choler meeting makes my lesh tremble in their differnt greeting. I will witduew, but this intrusion shall, now seeming sweet, convert to bitt'rest gall."
-Act I sc. 5
(100-103)
As soon as i read this i knew that Tybalt would attempt to do something in the future, and he did, but it cost him his life.
A lot of things occured in these Acts that were very interesting and it is just about to get even more interesting.

A man goes into a hardware store to purchase some knobs. To purchase one knob you must pay a minimum of 4 U.S. coins. Two knobs can be purchased with a minimum of 6 U.S. coins. 3 knobs require a minimum of 2 U.S. coins. How much does one knob cost?

U.S Coins include: a penny ($.01), a nickel ($.05), a dime ($.10), a quarter ($.25), a half-dollar ($.50), and a silver dollar ($1.00).

I'll show the answer when someone tries to answer it O.K.

Eric Dampier had a carrier night on Saturday vs. the Philadelphia Sixers, but it was not enough for the Mavs to come up with a victory. The Mavs will look to bounce back vs. Shaq and the Miami Heat on Tuesday.Posted by Hello

After just a few years of marriage, filled with constant arguments, a young man and his wife decided the only way to save their marriage was to try counseling.
When they arrived at the counselor's office, the counselor jumped right in and opened the floor for discussion. "What seems to be the problem?" The wife began talking describing all the wrongs within their marriage.
After 15 minutes of listening to the wife, the counselor went over to her, picked her up by her shoulders, kissed her passionately for several minutes, and sat her back down. Afterwards, the wife sat there speechless.
He looked over at the husband who was staring in disbelief at what had happened. The counselor spoke to the husband, "'Your wife NEEDS that at least twice a week!"
The husband scratched his head and replied, "I can have her here on Mondays and Thursdays."

Dirk Nowitski found a way to bring victory for the Mavs on Wednesday Vs. the Portland Trail Blazers. They were making a come back but Dirk's defense really helped the Mavericks come up with a victory as Dirk stopped a possible win by the Trail Balzers.

The Mavericks had an unfortunate loss to the L.A. Clippers on Tuesday, but one thing that does have to be taken into consideration is that that game was part of a back to back game. They will look to bounce back on Wednesday as they play the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Mavs have gone with five straight wins once again as they defeted the Bobcats on Friday and Denver on Sunday. Both of these games were pretty close and the wins came because of the defense and outstanding offence.

The Mavs' defense stepped up in the second half in the game Vs. the Los Angeles Clippers. They were down in the second half and their defense really helped them secure a victory. It was a pretty good game.

In other news the trade that was made quite a while ago between the Magic and theKings seems to be working out, so far.

The Mavericks defeated the Washington Wizards 137-120. Throught this game it was all about the 80's as everyone was dressed as if they were there. Finley, Nowitski, Terry, and Stackhouse scored more than 25 each as they all combined for 108 points. This game also included Dirk joining the 10,000 carrier point mark, and the fifth ever Maverick to reach that mark.

This book was interesting and confusing, but here are some things i picked up:

  • Symbolism really took part in the story like when the wine spilled in front of the wine shop, it was also foreshadowing, this fortold the revolution that was yet to come, and symbolised the blood because the wine was red.
  • This story had some history in it (from Dicken's childhood), like in the second paragraph of the bigginnig of the story.
  • I think this quote was really important "I would embrace any sacrifice for you and for those dear to you," the reason this quote is important is because it was said by Carton, and he is the one who saves Darney for Lucie.
  • This story is pretty interesting because for the most part it is about love, then towards the end it goes to its true purpose to tell about the French Revolution.
  • There are a couple of motifs in this book for example one of them is imprisonment. This happens to some characters quite literaly and others it is sort of mentally like Dr. Manette.
  • Other symbolism is Madame Defarge's knitting, it has a list of who is gonna die just like in Greek mythology (the three sisters that can kill people using a string).
  • One interesting thing Dickens uses a lot of characters and somehow they are all somehow connected.

Wow, today I went to that Martin Luther King Jr. Parade, and was it ever tiring. Me and the rest of the band marched a lot I mean a lot, it was all of Martin Luther King Jr. street, how ever long that is. Well it sure was fun and it felt kind of cool doing that because it was in honor of Martin Luther King Jr., but even though it was fun it was also really cold. Wow!!

Kobe Bryant's injury might affect the lakers' hopes for the playoffs this year depending on how long it lasts. In other news a lot of people were shocked by the latest trade including Orlando's Mobley and Sacramento's Christie, this was a shock because Doug Christie had been in Sacramento for most of carrier, and Cuttino Mobley had been with Steve Francis since they were in Houston as a great duo. In more news Steve Nash was injured Friday while playing the Indiana Pacers, this shows how much the Pheonix Suns need Steve Nash as they lost the game. Also the New Jersey Nets might not make the playoffs as Richard Jefferson is done for the season, so he will be missed.

The Mavs are looking to end a two game loosing streak as they play the New Jersey Nets on Saturday. The Nets are coming in with a loosing record, so the Mavs are fortunate because they do very well against teams with loosing records, but the Mavericks will be careful with Jason Kidd, the former Mav, who has been great since his return.

The Mavs suffered an unfair loss to the San Antonio Spurs as it could have been the other way around if it were not for the refferies for they did not call some calls that were crucial to the game's outcome. The good news is that the Mavericks did very well without three of their most productive players.

The Mavs will be looking to beat San Antonio to bounce back from their loss vs. Houston on Wednesday night. San Antonio is one of if not the toughest opponets in the NBA, so the Mavs will have a challenge tonight.

Tracy McGrady was doing it all on Sunday against the Denver Nuggets. He was scoring, assisting, and dunking; including a super dunk which he made from about two feet inside the free-throw line as he was getting ready to face Dallas on Wednesday by scoring 45 points.

The Mavericks in fact do stretch their winning streak to five, as they tear up the Indiana Pacers with a 121-101 win. The Mavericks will try for six Wednesday night as they face off against the Houston Rockets ( the Mavericks have won two out of the four games they will play this season against the Houston Rockets).

Mavericks have won four in a row. They have not done this since the begginig of the season, hopefully they will be able to stretch the streak to five games in a row as they play the Indiana Pacers on Saturday.
