Connecting with Romeo and Juliet

I think that I am most like the character Romeo. When I have something important to me going on I tend to only think about that thing. With that I usually have a ton of ideas bouncing around in my head. It has been interesting to see his character progress and grow. His line often contain many mixed thoughts which is how I feel most of the time. I sometimes overreact to a lot of things that aren't very relevant.   

At first glance reading Romeo and Juliet can seem a very hard task. Though after settling into the plot it becomes easier to understand. The story so far has been exciting as the characters develop. The family feud between the Montague's and the Capulet's has started to become more and more important. I like the fact that we read the book in class and analyze is too because I don't always pick up on everything going on in the book. I like reading the characters as well because it puts you in their situation and you can understand the feelings being produced.

Wrapping Up Great Expectations

Charles Dickens tells of a variety of themes in his novel Great Expectations. The one that stood out to me is money isn't everything. You may think that money buys material happiness but what about happiness with others? It's believed that humans can't live alone their whole life because they will be lonely and go crazy. If you have no friends and all this stuff you will go insane. That's why Dickens has shown that theme to show us that real happiness is in the people you trust and the friends you love. Without those people your life would mean nothing and no one would care about all this nice stuff you had. So always be true, happy, and social with your friends and family.

Done With Great Expectations!

I'm finnaly done with Great Exectations! Although some parts of the book were slow, boring, tiredsome, and terrible I was able to make it through till the end. If you read the book and didn't skip and read on spark notes you would have enjoyed it, maybe not much more but more than skipping half the book! My favorite character would have to be Pip because he is so relatible and when he turned my age I could relate the most. I liked the way that Dickens used foreshadowing and symbols in his book. I realized that the convict (later know as Magwitch) was the benefactor because well I mostly just guessed that he would be since it would be coincidence.

I did read through the entire book although not always following the reading schedules resulting in having me having to read 60+ pages a night on occasion. The first 10 chapters I read and re read to undestand, then I slipped into reading even if I didn't understand and skimming. I would look on Spark Notes which proved to not always tell the truth. I usually tried not to cram before the friday in which things were due but sometimes if I had a busy way I would just happen to have to do that. In all I liked Great Expectations but mostly did not like it.
