Romeo & Juliet Act 2 Content Paragraph - True or Forbidden Love

I think that Romeo & Juliet where in true love because I don’t think no one in the world will kill there selves over someone they were in lust with. Like Juliet is hiding from her family that she is getting married to their worst enemy’s son. At the wedding it seems like Juliet was almost hesitating to get married but she did it anyways. There’s a lot of reasons why I think that there in love no one in there right mind would do half of the stuff they did just to be together.

“Romeo & Juliet” Love Letter – Acts 4 & 5

Dear Romeo,
Why would you take the poison? I did this for us so we can be together now we will never be together. Your dead and know I don’t know what to do with myself should I die so I can be with you and the lord, but I will miss them to much but I guess it really doesn’t matter anymore they already think I’m dead I choose to be with you but I must end it with a kiss as I die right next to you.
Love Juliet

“Romeo & Juliet” Love Letter – Act 3

Dear Romeo,

I love you but my dad wants me to marry another man and I really don’t know what to do he will disown me if I don’t he already thinks I’m selfish because I don’t want to marry him. If I tell him I married you our fairytale would end up in a big nightmare I don’t know what I would do without you, our family already have this beef with each other and you also killed Tybalt and we married behind my parents back I don’t know what’s going to happen but I know I will never leave your side I’ll be there for you through up and downs.

Love Juliet

Romeo & Juliet Act 3 Content Paragraph - Rules

The positive consequences of breaking rules are kids can learn from your mistakes and know that its not the right thing to do. For example when women went to vote when they couldnt they changed history and now women and men can vote but you have to be over 18.The negative consequences of breaking rules are you can go to jail and you can die from things that you have done bad. For example caysee anthony everyone wants her in jail or dead because they fell like she killed her kid.Like Romeo killed tibalt for killing mercutio even though both were on accident they need to be punished for it.

“Romeo & Juliet” Love Letter – Act 2

Dear Romeo,
I’m so glad that I married my one and only true love we were meant to be together the good lord let this happened for a reason this is the best thing that happened to me through out my whole life, I just wonder what’s going to happen when our family finds out ,oh I was such in a hurry to marry you I didn’t even think about the consequence but I think that my family would want me to be happy. I don’t think its going to be as bad as expected but I really love you and our life together is going to be great.
Love, Juliet

“Romeo & Juliet” Love Letter – Act 1

Dear Romeo,
I hate that we can’t be together, I really want to see you but you are a Capulet I hate that our family hates one another I wish their hatred did not come between us. When I saw you at the ball I thought you were the perfect person for me I’m glad that you got my attention. If you never would have come to the ball I would have never met you. I’m glad that you came although I should ask you the question, “Why were you there?” Even though it’s a silly question to ask because I am very happy that you were there among the many people in my home I only noticed you I guess you’re special. When you kissed me I felt a weird tingle because I never have been kissed before but I’m glad that you were my first kiss.
Love, Juliet

"Legal Alien/Extranjera Legal" Before You Read

When I went into 6th grade I finally found myself it’s like I hung out with like the cool crew if that’s the way you want to put it, but I started acting more like mature and being myself so it’s like allot of people expect me to be someone I’m really not. So I started feeling like I had to act like what they expected or I will lose my friends like they would want me to dress a certain way and stuff so it’s like I noticed that I’m not that way. So I actually sat down and talked to my friends and they understood so all this time I thought I should of been a leader and not a follower, I dislike when people feel like they have to fit in I mean just be yourself and you might go places like places you never imagined. It made me a better person and its funny because I notice things like certain people I hang around were all alike so it’s pretty awesome.

"I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" Before You Read


When I look into the orange groves, I see grass trees and orange, I smell the orange peels and the dirt. Technically you’re not supposed to touch them because there not ours so I never really touched it but when I have an orange I feel the roughness of it. Getting to live among these trees makes me feel like I’m in a jail sail but also safe because who would ever know that I live behind trees with oranges.

"Boy at the Window" Before You Read: Silly Childhood Fear

When I was little, I was afraid of the one eyed man. I thought that he was going to come get me because I was really bad, the adults around me which was my mommy and my sisters thought it was funny they the ones that told me he exist and  will be in the window staring at me. One time me and my cousins was being bad it was time for us to go to sleep but we didn’t because obviously we weren’t tired so my sister told us to be quite before the one eyed man come get us we keep being bad, so we finally was worn out so when we laid down we heard this weird nock on the window we were so scared but it was the tree hitting my window. Now, I realize, it was silly because we was so scared of something that wasn’t real, we use it on or younger family members now it’s pretty funny.

“A Blessing” Break into Blossom Paragraph

One day I was at a dinner with my children and my grandkids we all gathered around and told stories, so we finished with my daughters story and went to mine.In2002 I was seven years old when I went to my first foster home it wasn’t that bad they treated me like I was there own, they cared for me but it just wasn’t the same I missed my family and home allot. when I went to my second foster home I was nine they treated me like trash I was terrified of dogs so they would lock me in the room with the dog they hit me for no reason I just hated it there then I moved to Georgia with your great aunt Noreen I had a blast I never experienced nothing better in my life. In 2010 I was 15, I recorded a song for the first time with my cousin Tootie it was awesome it was posted on twitter and allot of people liked it felt like a celebrity for a little while. in January I moved to a place called San pasqual academy its like a boarding school for foster kids I met allot of people there I got a taste of the adult life pretty legit right. When I die I want to be remembered by that girl that was fun and different.

“A Blessing” Break into Blossom Paragraph

A few weeks ago me and my family went to sun set cliffs like every day. We had to walk down cliffs and a rope just to get to the water. Once we got to the water, I saw the seaweed, flies, crabs I was so grossed out. I smelled the stinky water and the seaweed but I had to get used to it because we went everyday that week. I put my feet in the water it felt so good intill the crabs was washed by my feet witch freaked me out I was so disgusted. But this experience had me think that I’m not made for nature but it will be nice to know more about it one of these days.

Summer School Plan

This summer I plan to pass Priesters class. My plan to pass summer school is to stay on top of my game and not to slack off. Even though slacking is not an option with my house parents and my social worker, they made an education plan behind my back so I have no choice but to pass this class. My friends will make sure that I’m not goofing around and that I will be doing my work that’s what they’re here for. Since I’m on two hour I will be going to Deejays house and we will be helping each other, so everyone mark my words Olivia will pass summer school.

Portfolio - My Educational Experiences

Due to my educational experiences, I am currently still progressing in my learning but I am getting better I learn something new everyday.From me coming into school as a freshmen was difficult for the most part event though I missed most of my freshmen and sophomore year but I know that I have plenty of more hard tasks.Im not dumb but I do slack a lot but im going to make sure that it wont happen anymore. I currently have my house parents and friends on my back about the whole school situation so I take there advice.

Portfolio - Improvement

Over the past two years, I have improved in a lot like my writing before I was in high school I never capitalized my I's or the words in the beginning of my sentences. Know I'm still struggling with my writing skills but I hope they will get better I feel that I'm progressing after all.Before I was in high school I didn't read as fast as other students but believe it or not now I guess I'm finally on task with my reading,I knew it was time for me to practice because I was coming into high school.I used a lot of slang words before I was in high school I still do sometimes now I know how to control my language well at least I try I practice by being around my mom so when I say bad things around her she tells me how she doesn't like how I'm talking around her so I knew I had to change how I talk.When I worked in groups before high school I would always talk and I would get in trouble and wont get credit but now I know my limits. My technology skills was horrible all I knew how to do was myspace and twitter and Facebook in till I got to Priesters class but I learned piece by piece as the days go by I practice because I know that this is going to come in handy. I will continue on doing the best I can.

Portfolio - Future

I feel if I keep focused of what im doing then I will be able to reach my goals.When im older I would like to be a pediatrician I love baby's I can work with them all day.I also want to be an actress if you wanted me to I can act on the spot. I need support people telling me I can other then telling me I cant or laughing at me. My hose parents and my real parents and all my family hopefully will support me in my decisions. I do believe that I will achieve my goals as long as I start to keep focus and to believe in myself.

Wednesday, June 1, 2011

Portfolio - My Educational Experiences

Due to my educational experiences, I am still the same but more focused. At my last school I didn’t really care know that im here it’s a different story; I haven’t been in as much trouble no fights no ditching. Before I used to be in drama and stuff and it distracted me from my school work but know ive grown and made my own decisions. I’m so proud of myself I have been carrying myself more respectfully because half of these things that people say and do know I would had been done did something so im glad that I can hold my own. Know im just ready for anything because I feel like I can accomplish things that I got my mind on. My support system keeps me in place and have me on my school work grind.

End of Year Reflection – Greatest High School Obstacle


Being here is one of my greatest high school obstacle ,I was a wreck before I got here I ditched classes I didn’t pay attention I just goofed around the whole time. When I got here I didn’t think that I would act any different. When they told me how many credits I’m missing all I could think is I hope I don’t get held back right know my grades don’t look good but im trying my hardest to get them up. Last semester I got the best grades I ever had I was really shocked because I didn’t think that I would even get that. I finally notice that this really is not a joke I don’t understand why im slacking there’s nothing or nobody here that keeps me busy but I promised my self and others that I would not let my self fail so that’s my goal.

Playwrights Project Play Completion Reflection

I am so relieved that I am done with this play. Because for one I didn’t know what to write about. At first it took me forever to come up with a subject. So I thought about some of the stuff that I been through. The other reason is because everything had to be perfect and certain people know that im not good at things like spelling and grammar. Well overall im glad that it’s over. I am so scared for the actors to act our plays out especially mine because I feel like mine isn’t good enough for a real actor to do act it out its going to be weird hearing my play in front of everyone.

Posters in the Hall

I dont mind the quotes from white men because they have to say just as much as a black man would.But it is kind of weird seeing white men quotes because sometimes they dont have meaning well to me at least.Sometimes i fell like they say things to make me mad i now that its not ment for me.Like I read when elvis said that 'The only thing black people can do for me is shine my shoes and buy my music.Now isnt that disrespetful even though hes dead and he said that so long ago it still hurts people feelings but to answer your question i dont mind but do mind the quotes on the wall.

CST Testing Reflection

This CST was the worst I ever had I literally didn’t get anything on the test I feel like I’m dumb and cant do anything because the only part I probably really new was the English test. The test was really long and boring I feel asleep probably five times during the test. The history part was the hardest test in all the years that I had to take this test. Hopefully this science test is easy even though I really do now much I know enough to do it. Next test I hope to know allot more than I new in this test.

Testing Tips, Strategies, and Plays Reflection


How can knowing tips, strategies, and plays help you on testing.They can help you by studying remembering them and also by learning from them.I would do something like flash cards so i can remember what i need to now or what i already now but i can look over it to see if the meaning i had was the right.i don't now how a play can help you remember things for a test i don't now if ms.priester is using it in a different way or what.but hopefully we can use different strategies and tips to do better on the test.

Tuesday, April 19, 2011

My Feelings about the Upcoming CSTs

Honestly the test is somewhat nerve recking and scary.Like if I don't past the test i feel that I'm not smart like all the other kids that did.Also because when I see that people is done before me it makes me wanna speed right through it so they wont make fun of me because I took so long to finish a test that might had really been easy to them.To me its like why take a test that we take over and over again every year but it doesn't seem like it faze the other kids in my class.I feel that if i believe in it I can achieve it but also don't let it get to my head because if I do I might think about that more than I think about the test.I hope we just do good on this test.

Playwrights Project Inspired by Music Paragraph

In class today I listened to music to come up with ideas for a play I had got a lot of ideas. At first, I didn’t know what to do because I didn’t know what the music reminded me about but I new eventually it would come to me. While listening to the music, I thought of a lot like the stories I used to here about princesses and kings and all the above it made be brain storm. While I was writing, I thought about writing something totally different then what I was thinking but then I really got into deep thought in came up with my idea it was pretty awesome. Afterward, I felt like I can achieve hard task because I didn’t do my last writing a play assignment because I thought I couldn’t do it because its to hard but now I know if I pay attention and work hard I can do it.

UnGoogleable Research Paper Website Selection Reflection

Today in class I learned a new way to look up things on the internet. To search for my questions I used things like the timeline or the wonder wheel it gives me plenty of options to look at for my question and it gives more information then most website. When I found websites related to my questions I made sure they were appropriate and gave a lot of options for me to do this question or not. I new some of the websites I found was unacceptable because it answered the question for me. I new the website I  selected were good because it gives a lot of information and its written by what other people think but its not answered by them. Tomorrow, I expect that Ms. Priester will tell me to stick with one question and stay focused and get on top of my game.

“Switch” Play Audience Member Experience

The play switch was pretty cool it was very touching. There was a lot of stuff that happened to me in the play that it almost had me in tears it was really good even though it was kind of ghetto its okay. I saw certain students mood change when some of the parts came on like when the older man said that the 15 year old girl looks good and when the little boy got token from his mom .I thought that’s crazy because everything there mentioning is reality and very similar to whats been experienced to us or a friend. I learned that a lot of people go through a certain thibng in life and we aren’t in it alone and that we are loved and cared about.

What I Learned in the Third Quarter of English 9/10

Third quarter I learned about symbolism, allegory, poetry, imagery, figurative language, primary source, and secondary source .What I learned is that what I thought these words mean wasn’t really what they were but they had similar meanings like I didn’t now that personification is a certain form of speech. Honestly I didn’t even now that personification was a word. I didn’t now that you can make a poem with out it rhyming. But you learn something new every day. Although I learned a lot third quarter there’s still a lot to learn.

Fourth Quarter Kickoff Reflection

Fourth quarter kickoff was weird because certain students was cheating and coach Burgos didn’t even notice. I was ticked off because people from team 6 were cheating but its all good. At the end was pretty interesting because I made new friends and saw new things had. I didn’t real participate in any activities because I don’t really feel good. My favorite part if the day was the movie it was funny and had meaning to it after all it was ALRIGHT! I thought it was cute because we all came together as one and I hope to do more often.

Fourth Quarter Goals.

I was so happy I had four C's and one f and a d I was so happy because I used to get all F's and one good grade now I see if I put effort into my work I could get what I looked forward to getting. My fourth quarter goal is to get at least a 3.0 or higher I now that I can do it I promise to put all the effort that I can into my work I will not let my self or my family down.

“Where Have You Gone, Charming Billy?” Enlist Paragraph

I would enlist in the military. Because I want to serve our country and stand up for what is right and it’s something I always thought about and it has better opportunity. I think being in the military isn’t a good thing at times because we are losing loved ones when there family needs them more then ever. If I was ever drafted it would be the scariest and hardest thing I would ever have to do all I would think about is what if I died or kidnapped I would think about my family constantly. If I came out of it alive I would be more grateful than ever it would also be an amazing experience.

Primary and Secondary Sources Comparison

What do primary and secondary sources both have in common?.One thing that primary and secondary source have in common is that they are both telling a story.what makes primary source diffrent is that they were actually a witness to what ever had happend.Secondary source is diffrent because its being told from the second person point of view but they wasnt actually there. An example for secondary source would have to be like if there was a shooting and i heard about it and people asked me what happend and i told them but i wasnt there or like magazines they get there information from who knows where but use it in magazines and actually didnt see it for themselves.But they are also helpful because what if the primary source didnt even exist and all we had was secondary souce its still helpfull.

"Ex- Basketball Player " Paragraph

I don’t think that it prepares young people for life because you can’t only rely on one thing witch is sports you have to have a back up plan and more for life .you still have to go through with your education witch is more important than your other curriculum activity’s. Like me I want to become an actress doesn’t mean that im going to make it to the big screen so I need a back up plan so I overall think that education is important.

Google Moderator Questions & Answers

"Dose this make you want to change your dream job to something more achievable?". No it dosent make me want to change my dream job because I know as long as I work hard and get to where I need to get im okay. I believe that anything is possible as long as you believe in yourself and it. Never say never is what I think anything is possible as long as you believe in yourself and you do your work. Even though some of our dreams is very high I think we can do it I have faith in all of us.

Persuading You to Read a Blog

Us as upperclassmen should be an example and comment on freshman blog. We should try and get them prepared. Correct them so they can be ready for whats coming to them and show them that some of us do care and we want them to succeed we can be like role models to them and tell them they can do it and we believe in them.Show them that this isn't a game this is the real deal its not like elementary or middle school they not just going to pass to another grade. This year is probably one of the most important years so they need to get it together.They look up to us as sophomores and we can show them that failure is not an option. =)

"Sophomore Paragraph"

What does being a sophomore means. To me it means more responsibility we have to show our maturity.Being a sophomore we need to act our age and not our shoe size.Also do all of our work pay attention to the teacher when there talking.This isn't like 8th grade year it means so much more we have two more years and we need to put our adult face on and get it together.

SPA Poem

A day at spa is nothing but drama. Since I've been here, drama's been my best friend. She is my friend because I think my life would be boring without her. Like best friends are sometimes, she gets on my nerves. Being here at times feels like she's the only friend I have. I have my good times and my bad times here so it’s not always Hollywood.

"Grape Sherbet" Blog post 2011

I can relate to the "Grape Sherbet" poem because I remember going to my friend grave and I didn’t realize that there was skeletons and bodies under my feet it was weird but i also was in a happy mood when I was there because I also remembered the good times we had and appreciated every little thing that he’s done for me. A phrase that helps me imagine the poem is when it said that morning we galloped through the grassed-over mounds and named each stone. Imagery helps the reader get into character in a way and help them visualize the story and probably can connect with the story and the author.

Memorable Valentine's Day

My most memorable valentines was in 8th grade I was with this boy named Quan. The reason why it’s my most remeborable valentine because he was my first and last valentine unfortunately. He got me a big bear that said kiss me and chocolate. I appreciated what he got me but I wasn’t really into it. Because I didn’t really like him anymore so I pretended like I was happy then the next day I broke up with him I felt bad but after we became real good friends still to this day and I like it that way.

"I am Offering This Poem"emotion.

The emotion that "I am Offering This Poem" by Jimmy Santiago Baca expresses is well since it seems like he has nothing else to offer but love I’m guessing that’s what its expressing. For example he says I am offering this poem to you since I have nothing else to give you. Keep it warm like coat when winter comes to cove you. it seems like this person is someone who can’t really offer as much as he wants to but doing what he can for the person he loves.Thats why the emotion of this poem was to me kind of weird because the story is nothing but what he is offering I don’t know it’s complicated

"Remember" Homework paragraph

These statements are logical well at least they can be depending on the situation.For example you can be one with a person like if you are in love you kind of in a way become one with that person.I heard this alot from my mom she use to tell me when you find that right person you become one but I can't say that all people can become one I wouldn't know anything about that.Second example you can have a twin and you can do everything with your brother/sister and when you grow up it can possibly be the same.You and the universe can't be one because I just dont think its possible. I do agree with the two sentences being logical but at the same time dont because everyone and everything can't be one.

"Remember" Become a Poet Paragraph

" Entering the Poets world, I think she wrote this story and published it because she probably was going through something like not appreciating it when it was there.If i was a poet i would publish this poem because it has alot of meaning and its giving people something to think about when there going through a tough situation.If i were to make a poem and published it i would like to go around the world and talk and explain what the poem was about and what i was going through at the time and the reason why i wrote it.This story mad me feel like theres more meaning to the world because i never thought of it in this way.

My experience teaching was awsome. I kinda got the feel of being a teacher. All the students were very cooroperative and helpful to. I dont think that i will make being a teacher a living for me even though its fun but its just not something ill do for the rest of my life . I like when the students actually stops and listend to what we had to say i just had that rush of being a teacher i thought teaching was going to be boring but its really not its cool.

"Same Song"

I was in the 8th grade and i was going to o’Farrell middle school and I always had to wear uniforms so I didn’t really have a certain way I dressed. So I thought what’s going to happen when I go to high school so that’s when I changed my style. I really didn’t want attention it was really for my self and I did want to impress people not just one in particular. When I went to the mall for school shopping I didn’t really know what style I wanted go for I just thought just be me so that’s exactly what I did. I shaved my sides I wanted to be fun with my clothes so i had more name brand clothes I wore dresses and I usually don’t wear them, sandals leggings and more. When it came down to it I was happy and thought I don’t have to impress no body else but my self and that’s what happened.

Paragraph to Persuade You to Read My Poem

"Heart! We Will Forget Him!" by Emily Dickonson is a cool poem. Someone should read this poem because it has meaning to being heart broken. This is interesting because it goes into depth. The poem is about a lady who is convincing "her heart," or herself to forgive a guy. You may not want to read this poem because it might not make sense and it's a little too short, but overall the lesson being told is large and important. Another reason why you should read this poem is because you might be in the woman's situation. The best part of the poem is when she finally forgives him.

“Animal Farm” Character’s Symbolic Meaning Paragraph

In the story “Animal Farm” by George Orwell, the character Mollie represnts beauty.For example in the story when she told the other animals that she likes to be pretty this shows that she likes being fabolous! And that shes a good show horse in addition, Mollie shows that shes loyal to what she does which is being a show horse and that she can probably give beauty tips to all her other animal friend. Even though she doesnt really talk in the story. People who are like mollie probably will turn out to be stuck up but at times helpfull.

“Through the Tunnel” Foster Youth Initiation

Even though they don’t have to swim through a tunnel like Jerry in “Through the Tunnel” by Doris Lessing, foster youth are initiated into/out of the foster care system. When foster kids go home to home of course its going to effect us because were just getting use to that place we were at and it probably took a long time to get use to that place to so its very tiering especially going in as the new girl or kid .Also getting use to the person thats taking care of you we dont know if that person is some type of killer or something so thats how i go into the situation kind of with my gaurds up and looking very carefully.And of course were going to miss or family and sometimes you wouldnt even be able to call them when you want to thats very irratating.Being in the system made us stronger and more mature about the situations we make and made we see more of the outside now.

“Through the Tunnel” Analysis Paragraph

In the story through the tunnel i find it convincing that jerry was so brave to try and accomplish something like going through a tunnel no ordinary eleven year old could really pull that off . Even though he didnt succeed he still tryed and alot of people give up after a little bit so i give that to him.He saw the big kids do it so i think he say why not . When he made his mom go and get the goggles he went swimming and never stopped intill that one day he tryed to go all the way down to the dark part and he thought he could stay under for long but he couldnt that was a down fall. Just because he didnt accomplish what he wanted he still could hold his breath for 3 minutes i think that was pretty cool .

through the tunnel prove yourself paragraph

When i used to live in San Diego, a lot of people thought I couldnt stand up for myself.
So they always use to test me and they will talk stuff and tryed to push my buttons start rumors the most ridiculous thing i ever heard so one day i finally had enough and confronted them about it an assertive way I proved my point they stopped talking stuff. I got what I wanted out of it and at the end i felt like I accomplished something. Now that I think Icould have handled it better because im more mature and I look back at it like the whole reason was dumb.
