vacation homework#2

The student plagiarized the student just copied and pastes and didn't source it he/she just copied and pasted it and said that he/she wrote it.if s/he liked it so much she could have at least quoted it and explained.For example" There is a peaceful essence flowing from the structures. Perhaps the cool dark colors and the fiery windows spark memories of our own warm childhood years filled with imagination of what exists in the night and dark starry skies. The center point of the town is the tall steeple of the church, reigning largely over the smaller buildings. This steeple casts down a sense of stability onto the town, and also creates a sense of size and seclusion." A Brief Understanding of the Starry Night Paintings, unknown author.
then later at the end go on easy bib and source the articles/he found this. 3 ways to avoid this is to after you do read some information wait about 5-10 minutes weather it may be listening to music or whatever sit down and writ. another way is after you are done writing go back and make sure you aren't copying.another thing you can do is read multiple sources and and wait and then write so it your own words from many different sources so that you don't accidentally do anything.

vacation homework #1


My two favorite blog post had to Joyce’s on The Hunger Games were she compares both Gale and Peeta. I also enjoyed reading Ali’s review on "Much Ado About Nothing" she did a really good job explaining about everything that brought the show together. When reading Joyce’s I saw that she did a good job without giving away what happens in the book she had a good balance of detail and explanation I thought I worked well. It was short and to the point and I think it worked well. In Ali’s blog post Ali does a good job explaining detail from detail in what brought the play together she really doesn’t talk about the plot but more the costumes the set design and I think she did that well. She did it well because she didn’t spoil it but she worked with it well.
            I think in the future I will try not to spoil the book because I seem to do that a lot like I give away the ending or what happens. So I will try not to give it away. I will also try to fix all my grammatical errors because I have lots of those. But the blogs up here will be y goal I’ll try to write like these great writers.

the hunger games

            Since the hunger games were coming out as a movie I have decided to read the book once again. The hunger games are a scary yet confusing but thrilling book at the same time. Although I had read the book before and knew what was coming next I was still filled with excitement. I could actually read the book without wanting to find out what happened in the end and it was fun so I could do it again. I looked more into katniss and peeta's relationship a little bit more and I think that it was a click from the start katniss and peeta are perfect I am team peeta. Peeta's sweet shy and so sweet and I think that is the kind of person katniss need they are like magnet. you can feel how much peeta loves katnisss. I still am excited to find out and read what happens again. I am so excited to see the movie as well!

PLAY REVEIW


The play performed was really well done. It showed all the aspects of the play while still making it fun easy to understand, they had made it more modern but not today modern but a bit older. I felt that the play had good transitions, and did a good job adding and using music and the environment around them. They only had a couple of props but then they switched them around turn them around and they had made it work. They had also used the stage nicely when first walking in I thought it was a bit small and cramped, but then as the play went on it actually made me feel like I was in the time period apart of the play, it felt very welcoming and nicely done.
            I like how they showed all the science and the worked the stage without having to take too long to change the props. For example I like the scene when they thought hero was cheating and they used the shadow effect. I also like how they showed the different times of day through the backdrop. They made it into a moon or at the party they kept it as a yellow to kind of get the party vibe. I feel that it worked really well. This was a good play but I would advice middle school child and up to watch just because it may need a more mature brain to understand it.

romeo and juliet

                 We have met a lot of new characters in Romeo and Juliet but so far I think that the nurse has to be my favorite character because she takes care of Juliet and really loves her even if she is paid too like any nanny she loves her "kids" and I feel she gets Juliet more than Juliet parents do. She understands Juliet feeling and I very excited to see Juliet get married. She is an important part of the life because Lady Capulet wanted her to stay when she was speaking to Juliet. Showing the importance, of the nurse in Juliet life.
             My favorite character from Romeos side has to be Merchutio because he seems very experience like he’s gone through life and he seems like he really like Romeo and although he is against love he will help Romeo out at the end. He seems like the type of guy that likes to make people laugh and kid around but I think he is a very nice man. I feel the book is going to take a turn which I know but it will be pretty interesting to see how the little characters like these react to the love. who will accept? and, who will decline?

romeo and juliet

dear auhonna,

So far I’ve been reading Romeo and Juliet and it make no sense to me but I am getting there. The langue is difficult to understand. And the puns are fun to find out the deeper meaning but difficult to understand. The thing I am noticing is that Romeo is in love. He is love sick and he can’t think straight. It is really good you can practically feel his love for this pretty girl he loves. I also noticed that this benvolio has to be really close to him because he never shares his feelings and he did to him while his parents said that he never shares his feelings.
            Some tips and advice I would give you is to read the definitions to the side first and then read actual text it flows better then but overall the Shakespeare experience has been fun so far, I am enjoying reading this book and if you haven’t read it you should check it out.
