Midterm-86%
A: English class is much different from my last years english class. Im still getting use to the fact its all online but im very grateful that it is online because if i am absent i can just go online wherever i am and i can do the assignment that was assinged. Most of the time i come prepared and put my best effort forward but theres a lot of times where i get distracted and talk a lot. I am late to class a lot i will admit and i have missed a few classes. During class if we are having a class disscusion or the teacher is reading, most of the time i pay attention but i will multitask by going on my phone but i still pay attention to what he is saying. When we are suppose to tweet with our partners i always do so. For this i give myself 19% out of 25%.
B: out of all 15 assignments that we had i did all. Some of them might now have been done on time but at least i have finished them and tried my best for each. For this i think i deserve a 24% out of 25%.
C: for all of the work that i have done i think i've put my full effort into it. I can improve on my grammer and the structure of my writting and the paragraphs. I can also always add more detail to my work. For that i give myself 20% out of 25%.
D: during class i am very talkitive which helps with people getting engaged more with the class conversations. I am not the best with technology but when someone needs help ill try my best to help. So i give myself 23% out of 25%. Overall i give myself a 86% in this class after all of the percentages are added up.
This is a picture of me and my partner tweeting about our character Lady Capulet. Underneath that is prove of some of the assignments i have finished out of all 15.

Act 4: Soliloquy
Soliloquy:
A part of the play when an actor is on stage alone or talking to themselves out loud and sharing there feelings.
Juliet:
"Farewell! God knows when we shall meet again.
I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins,
That almost freezes up the heat of life:
I'll call them back again to comfort me:
Nurse! What should she do here?
My dismal scene I needs must act alone.
Come, vial.
What if this mixture do not work at all?
Shall I be married then to-morrow morning?
No, no: this shall forbid it: lie thou there."
This is a soliloquy of Juliet speaking to herself and sharing her fears out loud before she takes the potion. Even though she is very scared to take the potion she drinks it anyways to stop herself from marrying Paris, and being un faithful to Romeo. As she is about to take the potion she has so many thoughts going through her head, for example she is thinking what if the Friar actually wants to kill her, or if she takes it and never comes back or what if she takes it but still wakes up in the morning and marries Paris or what if she takes the potion but she wakes up within a day or two and not three days, or she goes insane when she is in the tomb. Juliet has all of this on her mind but in the end she takes it anyways. This right here shows Juliet's character. She is so terrified on what will happen to her but does it to be true to Romeo and show her love. This shows Juliet's courage. When Juliet did that it made me like her as a character because of her courage.

Healthy and Unhealthy relationships
Healthy: Juliet and Nurse
Juliet and Nurse are examples of people who have a healthy relationship. Nurse took on the mother role to Juliet at the very beginning of Juliet's life. Nurse is always there for Juliet and no matter what helps Juliet with all her problems. Unlike Lady Capulet Nurse cares for Juliet and treats her right. Juliet looks up at Nurse with so much respect and would never go behind her nor disrespect her. Nurse: "Peace, i have done. God mark thee grace, thou was the prettiest babe that i ever nurse." I used this quote to show Nurse's love towards Juliet. Nurse:" I think you are happy in this second match,for it excels your first, or if it did not, your first is dead, or twere as good he were, as living here and you no use of him." This is Nurse telling Juliet that she should go with Paris, even though she knows she loves Romeo she is just considering Juliet's best interest.
Unhealthy: Lady and Lord Capulet
Lady and Lord Capulet are married with a daughter but there marriage isn't normal. He is the gangster and she is the gangster wife. The only thing he cares about is power, the only thing she cares about is partying and the bling. In the story they don't show affection towards one another. The never say " I love you" like a normal couple would do, instead Lord Capulet beats there daughter, Juliet and will disown her if she doesn't do as he says and Lady Capulet knows that but yet she doesn't say a word. She lets it happen. Lord Capulet treats Lady with no respect and yet she is still with him and doesn't stick up for herself because she is just in the marriage for the bling, the big house,the parties, none for the right reasons. I think this is one of the unhealthiest relationships in the story other then there relationship with their daughter Juliet.

Paris's view on love
Love. What is love? People say its a passionate affection towards another person but my personal opinion on love is I don't think anything of it, i mean love doesn't exist. It's just buisness. It's an arrangement from two people setting it up for me. I would do anything for Lord Capulet to get on his good side. He is very powerful, so if he wants me to marry he's 13 year old daughter Juliet so be it.
