    Romeo and Juliet - from Stage to Screen (on Baz Luhrmann's Cinematic Production))

    As far as the cinematography came into being, attempts have been made to screen some of the Shakespeare’s plays. Within these screenings ‘Romeo and Juliet’ has always been a graceful and rewarding theme. Rewarding figuratively and literary, as the producers could in fact acquire a great income due to the popularity of the film. Such was the case with the ‘Romeo and Juliet’ directed by Baz Luhrmann and screened in 1996. It earned their creators 46 mln dollars in the first 12 weeks of screening and gained eight prestigious awards, among which were four BAFTA awards, and over a dozen other nominations. What was the secret of this phenomenal success and what would Shakespeare say if he had seen the production? It may be stated that he would be proud.…

    My Name By Sandra Cisneros Analysis

    After we are born, we receive our own names. Names are chosen not by themselves, but by their family member’s. That is the first gift the baby owns and of course, it is free, but not everybody takes the free gift if they don't like it. Just like me and the girl I had read about in the article, “My Name," by Sandra Cisneros. We both don’t like our names because our names are not English names; indeed, it’s the different culture name.…

    My Name Is Margaret

    A name for me represents history. Too many names are lost and/or changed because someone’s past, someone’s culture, someone’s story was “too long” to remember, and that just really makes me dejected. It makes me sad to know that people lost so much, especially their names. Maybe that’s why I take my name so seriously. I know I have difficulty remembering other people’s names sometimes, and I’m working on that. I think names are something we take for granted, like we don’t always feel the weight behind our names. There is so much pain and struggle in the past, so many new names that were “better” than the ones people came with from Africa, Asia, or wherever our ancestors immigrated from. Maya Angelou discusses changing names, when Miss Glory tells her about how Mrs. Cullinan changed her name from Hallelujah to Glory, again because it was too long to remember. She didn’t seem to mind, though. Mrs. Cullinan finally calls Margaret by her real name. It only took the breaking of her prized china. I find it sad that she could only bear to say/…

    Romeo and Juliet Ball Gossip

    In the great hall of the Capulets, all is a-bustle. The servants work feverishly to make sure all runs smoothly, and set aside some food to make sure they have some enjoyment of the feast as well. But this ball isn’t what it seems, for many secrets lay behind the curtain and around the corner. The Capulet ball, where enemies were brought together, arguments occurred and love was in the air. It’s no surprise that the Montague’s were excluded from this event as the feud between the Capulet’s and Montague’s has been going on for quite some time now. Dancing, music, laughter, and love, there’s nothing like a Capulet party, however, the party wasn’t all fun and games. Three young men were spotted sneaking into this party. At first, no one knew for sure exactly who these men were. I thought to myself, maybe they were Montague’s trying to crash this party and make it a disaster, causing more of a feud between the families. I interviewed Tybalt to get more information on these men. Tybalt response was, “This by his voice should be a Montague” which meant that they were in fact Montague’s, and that he was definitely not happy to see them. “I wanted them to leave” he said “they were never invited in the first place and had no right to be there”. This quickly stirred up as a conundrum in my head, and I wondered why the Montague’s weren’t kicked out. “I was furious when Capulet told me that the Montague’s were welcome to stay. He didn’t want any trouble but I wanted them gone!” stated Tybalt. It seemed as though he wanted to create more conflict between the Montague’s and the Capulet’s, however, Capulet would not allow him to create a big scene.…

    Personal Narrative: What My Name Means

    I was supposed to be named Rachel. It was a compromise, my mother told me, from what my dad had picked: Raquel. Growing up, I had a friend named Rachel that was nothing like me: soft, composed, and the sweetest smile. As it is hebrew, the name comes from the biblical name meaning “O Beautiful One” or “female sheep”. While this is nice and all, it was much more fitting for my friend. Never could or would I pick the animal the sheep to describe myself.…
