Journal

Today’s blog topic is what is the most expensive gift you are giving this year, and why are you giving it. Well I still haven’t decided who I’m giving gifts to, and how expensive they will be. Since I don’t have any gift ideas yet, I’ll make a fictional account of someone. We’ll my name is Bob Jujubes, it’s almost christmas time and I’ve decided to get a gift for my friend Alberto, I’m going to get him a new car, because when we went to Africa, we were running down a hill because giant rhinoes we’re chasing us and he saved my life, so next time we’re getting chased by rhinoes or something at least we’ll have a car to run away from them in. Well I basically want to get him anything for us to ride it, becaues running is getting pretty tiring, because we travel to forgien countries a lot. I think he might be getting me a new face because mine fell off while we were running from the rhinoes. We were going to go back to get it, but the rhinos had already eaten it, they fed it to their young, they did a dance around a fire and everything.

My strongest childhood memory.

Today’s blog topic is, “Your strongest childhood memory”. Well I don’t really have a childhood memory that really made an impact all that much on my life today, not that It didn’t do anything at all, there just wasn’t anything big enough for me to recognize as something big. Many people have different childhood memories, they might be little things like, drawing on your car window through the frost, being obsessed with lego, opening presents, hanging out with your friends, meeting new friends, getting a new video game you liked, trampolines, climbing trees, there are millions of different things. Childhood memories can either be happy ones, or sad ones. They both affect your life however. I think that people turn out to be what they are, from their environments, and how much they get of it, as you get older it gets harder to adapt to newer environments though. When I’m an adult I’m going to consider these day’s my childhood memories, but for teens it’s when their maybe 7-9 or something. Some memories people forget, and some memories people don’t forget, all depending on how significant it was to them, and how often they think about it, which is kind of like refreshing your memory of it, so you don’t forget.

My favorite pet would be...

Today’s blog topic is about what my favorite pet would be. Well I would have to choose between several different animals. I like snakes because the fact that they’re reptiles, and I like the fact of them wrapping around your arm, I also like them because most people seem to be afraid of them. Some people like having dangerous animals as pets, like tigers, poisonous spiders, and snakes. I also would like to have a pet bird, maybe something like a parakeet, because they ride around on your shoulder and they can fly around, and will come back to you when you call them. I also think having a pet monkey would be awesome lol. A small monkey, because their like mini humans, I mean who would not like having a pet monkey, besides the fact that they’re lots of work and normally make a lot of mess wherever they go. I like other animals but I doubt it would work as pets, I like wolves because the fact that they’ve earned a symbol of the moon, and also snow areas. I like that they only kill to eat if they have to, they won’t attack you if not necessary.

What I think about the color red.

Today’s blog is about what I think about the color red. Today’s blog topic seems more awkward than usual today, it’ll be hard to write 200 words about a color. I think Red is a color meaning many different things, one thing red symbolizes is love and war, it’s a strong color that gives people a range of different emotions from passionate love to violence and warfare. Red is also used is different warning signs, flashing red lights mean danger or emergency, Stop signs and stop lights are red to get the drivers attention and alert them to the dangers of the intersection. Red is power, which makes red the power tie for business people and the red carpet for celebrities and VIPs (very important people). Red is the color of blood, and as such has strong symbolism as life and vitality. There is not only one kind of red: several different reds are Light red( represents joy, passion, sensitivity, and love), Pink (represents romance, love, and friendship, it also gives out a feminine feeling), Dark red (represents vigor, willpower, rage, anger, leadership, courage, longing, and wrath), Reddish-brown(represents a feeling of harvest and fall). Red is also one of my favorite colors.

Did the performance change your opinion. Why or Why not?

Today's blog topic is about the Romeo and Juliet performance we saw today, and if it changed our opinion. Well the performance might have changed my opinion a little bit. One thing I found that was awkward was supposedly that had just met not long before they ended up killing themselves because they couldn't be with the other. I also found it was weird they were getting married at 14 was it? That's probably just the age people in that position got married back then. I thought that romeo and Juliet were older than that though, but then again I have never actually read the book or watched a play about it before or anything. Some times I could not understand what they were saying because they were speaking kind of fast with an older English, but I understood it for the most part. It was a pretty good play, but I prefer the last play I went to with the school, I found it more enjoyable.

Now for my normal journal, Todays topic is about my opinion on classic theatre compared to today's modern theatre. I don't really pay a lot of attention to theatre as much as I should. The only difference I see is that classical theatre uses an old english, kind of like the King James version of the bible, and today people use more modern english, because it wouldn't get across to the people in todays world if they talk like that people wouldn't be able to relate it to themselves. This works for more than just english, such as today's problems, there were different problems back then, and there's different problems and issues today.
