Odds N' Ends

• CTW projects
• Add summary bullets to our ongoing summary
• Work on improving your "Love or Lust paragraph"
• Look at your grades on-line to see feedback
• Redo your movie notes if you'd like to gain points 

Example of a 3/4 essay:

Romeo and Juliet are in lust. When asked to answer the question, "Are Romeo and Juliet in love or lust?" I concluded that they are in lust not in love. As Romeo states in 1.5.93-94, "My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss." This is from the first passage he said to Juliet. When you first meet see someone you get an impression of them, you get this impression by seeing them. Some modern first impressions are, "He looks scary,"  or "She looks fake," or "They look untrustworthy." When you see this you realize you are judging because of looks and not personality. Romeo who had never even talked to Juliet once before was judging her on the was she looks. Another example of lust is when Juliet says this in 2.2.68-69, "My ears have not yet drunk a hundred words of that youngest uttering, yet I know that sound." This passage was said on the balcony by Juliet just an hour or so after they had first met. In this scene they proclaim their love for each other many times even though they just met, the only thing they know about each other is their names. When you love someone you are able to at least tell what their favorite colors is, or what their middle name is, or what their personality is like, Romeo and Juliet can't. Therefore I conclude that Romeo and Juliet's love is lust and not love.  

Sub Day: Movie Watching!

Here are samples from other schools:

Student Version I

Two schools, both alike in many ways,

In fair Bay City, where we lay our tale,

From rival grudge break to new extreme heights,

Where old grudges make new ones to begin.

From forth the enemies of these two schools,

A pair of football players take their time;

Whose kickoff stunk piteous and stunk again

Do with their game what their coaches like.

The brand new passage of their brand new tricks,

And the continuance of their linebacker,

Which, but their brand new shoes naught could help kick,

Is now the two very fun-filled hours of our stage;

The which if you decide to attend,

What here shall miss, we never shall strive to mend.

—Tara, student, Bay City Public Schools

Student Version 2

Two dirt bikes both alike in displacement,

In fair Pontiac where we lay our race

From starting point break to new finish`ed

Where fast racers make great entertainment

From forth the fast meters of these two bikes

A pair of pro-blood racers take their stage

Whose factory rides piteous triple jumps

Do with their great skill their parents proud.

The tires passage of their excel rims,

And the continuance of their cycles revs,

Which, but their hard crashes, naught could stop them,

Is now the two hours moving of our stage;

The which if you with watchful eyes attend,

What here shall see, our race shall strive to mend.

—Brad, student, Bay City Public Schools
