Thesis

Christopher's dad killed Wellington.
- his wife had just passed away 
- he knew what was going on between her and Mr. Shears 
- he felt depressed
- his son has autism and doesn't know about it (until Mrs.Alexander told him)
This was probably an act of revenge or anger.

Lord Capulet's view on love

 I am Lord Capulet, I run the Capulet house. When it comes to love I don't really have much to say about it although I'm married and have a daughter, I don't really love genuinely. I have all the money and status I need to be happy so who the hell cares about love. Plus, I really don't care about anything else other than money. My daughter, Juliet, is young and fair but she shall be married to one of the richest princes in Verona, Paris. This marriage will bring more money and more status to my family which is way more important than love. If anything, love is just another word for business. Rich will marry rich to become even more powerful and rich, which is what Paris and Juliet's marriage is about, just a business deal for me. 

Midterm

A: 23/25%
I am giving myself 23% for this section because I always come to class on time except I have 3 or 4 absences. I always comment on edmodo posts by Mr. Neuf and contribute my own ideas in online class discussions rather than class discussions we have within the classroom. When it comes to essays or other assignments I need to work alone because sometimes it gets hard to work in class without a computer. I don't really volunteer or share ideas with the class out loud which I should try to do more often, On twitter, I tweeted most of the tweets for "Romeo and Juliet." My class behavior is good. I don't talk to many people unless I'm told to because of an assignment, I work very independently. My task time in class I usually gather up ideas and finish up the work on a computer because its easier unless the assignment is due in class time.

Twitter - link to all tweets.
Some of my examples of participating in class discussions.



B: 20/25% 
I give myself 20% for assignment completion because I have completed 14/16 assignments, most of them were late because it gets hard to to focus on class especially without a computer but when I'm at home I can think better and do my assignments with more detail and thought.

C: 23/25% 
When it comes to the quality of my assignments I give myself 23%, even though I hand in assignments late the quality of my work is good and I always take the time to go back and edit or add new ideas to my assignment. I will also look at other classmate's blogs and use their ideas sometimes on my posts, even if I don't understand how to do an assignment looking at someone else's blog and reading their post helps me with mine by connecting with their ideas. I  try to take personal connections with my work but it takes a lot more than that, I always add picture and links to sources where I got my information from which makes my work good quality.

An example of  blog post that I did really well on and Mr. Neuf commented on it asking me more questions, which I added on into my blog post.

D: 15/25%
I give myself 15% for class contribution. My presence in class is really quiet, but if I need help I will ask for it and if others look like they need help or ask for it I will help them. I comment on almost everybody's blog posts. I might have missed in total probably 2 or 3 people but no matter who it is, I comment my opinions and thoughts on their blogs. I remember helping a classmate when they lost track of where we were while reading Romeo and Juilet, other than that I have not helped with technology. Overall, I think I deserve 81%.

These are some of my comments on three different people's blogs.

Stress Song

 KING OF THE FALL

The weeknd has the calmest songs, for whenever I'm stressing or worrying. Not only all his songs connect to me, but this one especially. This song is about one person even though he's singing from a guys point if view, I can still relate to it because when I listen to it's as if he's singing it to me. It's  not about the main chorus I connect to the verses. "She make her own luck, she don't give a "****, she trynna have fun, take a break from the love." This connects to me mostly because it's just me and how I want to feel when I'm not worrying I hust wanna have fun and do my own thing and not care about anything. This song makes me feel melow and calm. It also makes me forget about stuff that I don't even need to be thinking about, like boys. "Take a break from the love"  means taking a break from your love life. (1:15)

LYRICS
'm addied up, added up
I just ate a plate for breakfast
Put it in a cup, then I mix it up with Texas
Chest feeling heavy like a midget on my necklace
*itches that we came with got all of your *itches jealous
'Bout to leave the crib with a couple of my pirates
Driving by the streets we used to walk through like a triumph
Mix it in a potion like a science
That liquid G diet got a n**** so quiet
'Cause the shit so strong, got me feeling like I'm dying
The shit so raw, nothing else can get me higher
Only time you see me's when I'm balling with my n****s
'Cause my life too private, my ride too private
My flight too private, my show's so riot
My jaw so tired, I go all night in my city to the fall
Then it's time for me to fly her
I got a girl at home even though she ain't flying
And she gon' give it up 'cause she know I might like it
And she gon' give it up 'cause she know I might like it
And she gon' give it up 'cause she know I might like it
And she gon' give it up 'cause she know I might like it
Baby girl, you know what I like, baby, you know just what I like
Baby, you know what I like (like like like like like)
Don't be mad, let her get hers
Don't be mad, let her get hers
She make her own luck
She don't give a f****
She trying to have fun

Take a break from the love
Man, your girl so bad, let me get her
Your girl so bad, let me get her
I make my own luck, I make that p**** talk
On call to the fall, you can like it or not
N****, back the fuck up
If you ain't with me, motherf*****, you against me
If you ain't complimenting, n****, you offending
I been out here last year wasting hella time
XO is the only time investment
Them fall shows every year like a birthday
And I'mma do it every year in my birthplace
And I ain't been this gone since Thursday
I never said that I'd be sober in the first place
And she gon' give it up 'cause she know I might like it
And she gon' give it up 'cause she know I might like it
And she gon' give it up 'cause she know I might like it
And she gon' give it up 'cause she know I might like it
Baby girl, you know what I like, baby, you know just what I like
Baby, you know what I like (like like like like like)
Baby girl, you know what I like,
Baby, you know what I like, hm
I just passed that liquor, fell off stage
I just sold out the 02 at my own pace
I can say that I'm attached to nobody
I been getting paper while these niggas tryin' a stop me
Shout my n**** Doc, that's a mentor
Had some bad business, nothing personal
But now the word out that we back on
Some young Quincy Jones, dark skin Michael Jackson
And these the mother******* that they packaged
Their new s*** all be sounding like my past s***
Bring your girl to my show, give her floor seats
Then she go downtown like she owe me
XO, XO, XO, mix it up, pour it up, take it down slow
This is my sound, n****, f*** your sound
Did it from the ground, ask around, b****
When I touch down, I'mma shake s*** up
F*** your new man, I'mma break it up
He can come back when I go on the road
But that p**** mine for the next three months
'Cause the kid back, kid back, kid back
Cop ten whips for my n***** when we land
Queen Street, n****, making money overseas
Had a few more debts, I'mma pay it all in cash
Shout out XO, shout out to "The Boy" broke bread on tour
Man, it's all love now
Shout out my nigga Stix, doing good in these streets
Man he popping more bottles then us right now
Reason why they stressing, city never sunny
When the kid come through with more n***** than Apollo
But ain't s*** funny, can't nobody stop me
All my hoes are trained, I make all of them swallow
All of them swallow
All of them swallow
All of them swallow
I make all of them swallow
All of them swallow
All of them swallow
All of them swallow
I make all of them swallow
All of them swallow
All of them swallow
All of them swallow
I make all of them swallow
All of, all of
All of them swallow
All of them swallow
I make all of them swallow
