response to the play {Much Ado about Nothing}

Over all I enjoyed the play (Much to do About Nothing) but I felt that the actors were trying to hard to be funny, which I didn't expect there to be a circular stage in the middle of the theater and actors that walked into the audience were unexpected. although I felt that the actors were acting similar to children which made me as an audience memmber lose interest in the play. I did enjoy the costume choices; and the language, because the play was easier to understand. This is how I felt about the play...

Letter to a friend

Dear Justin

So I wasreading this book called Romeo and Juliet, and so far there is a lot of violence.
Sampson is very NASTY. He wants to rape maids and his jutification for these actions is he is unsatisfed with their sevices. Although there is a lot of action and fighting there are me pulling out there sorwds to fight one another but what annoys me about that is the fact that there is a lot of talking on the side and less action... romeo and juliets parents; lord Capulet and Montague are going back and forth yelling and disreaspecting eachother lord capulet called Mrs Montague a HO!!... this book is crazy I cant wait to continue reading.

MY MOM YELLS (Sonnet)

My mom yells at me when I kick and play
So I tell my mommy that, "I'm sorry"
But I'm not..... so I continue all day
Why don't you sit down and watch some " murry"?
I say no I would like to have some fun
If you don't sit down you will be groubded
Nahh stop I aint with that type of stuff son
Do not make a sound is what sounded

Mommy I would like to apologize
She was so happy, I was about to cry
So then I smiled, and then I arise
to what a crazy suprise someone died

I thought to myself that isn't funny
then I got a wiff of some sweet honey

Da Vinci (Artist post)

Leonardo Da Vinci is a famous artist, but he is mainly known for his paintings. He grew up in a very well/ settle background, he had a good education, and excelled in art from a young age.
He grew up in 13th (born in 1452)century Italy, right outside of Florence. 

In 1473 when Da Vinci was in his early twentys he came out with one of his first paintings call the "Annuction" this is when his carrier started to take off. Soon after he was tought by Verrocchio's studios and became a "Prfessional" artist.  Da Vinci was know not to finish he art, which was a bad habbit because he was very talented, and good at making the feel of a human body in his paintings.

One of his most famous pieces was mad in 1503 he painted the "Mona lisa", which is also known as "A woman with brown hair and a silk scarf, sitting down". The painting is of The Virgin Marry, and it was designed so that no matter where you stand it appiers that the woman is starring at you.

POEM: Over lapping hands,
             eyes locked on a glance,
             sitting so stiff,
             your skin is a gift, that looks like a soft tan bliss.

Tyrell (secrets in the shadows)

In the book Tyrell by:Coe Booth Tyrell is having dinner with his girl friend Novishas at her house, and her mother (Mrs. Jenkins) is hosting the dinner. There is a lot of tention in the discution, because Tyrells mother doesn't know how to talk to people, due to the fact that there haven't exactly been having civilized dinners every night because they live in a dirty one star motel. Tyrells mother lit a Newport cigaret at the dinning room table, and was hardly apollagetic for duing so. The whole dinner arangment was a diaster.

.....But what seemed to be the boiling point was after dinner when Tyrell and Novisha were arguing because she cause Tyrell going through her diary..... "Why are you keeping secrets from me?, I thought we argreed not to do that." Is what Tyrell said to Novisha and her response was you didn't tell me about the party that you were having. I think that in there relationship everything shouldn't be out in the open (somthings should be kept secret).

The biggest mistake that Tyrell made in my opinion is sleeping at Jasmines house. It breaks the trust that
Novisha and Tyrell have after Troy told Novisha. Tyrell seems to be doing all of the wrong things and all the secrets are coming out at the dinner thtat was suppose to be a posative thing... I think this could be the breaking point...

Readers Response (Tyrell)

In the book that I'm reading (Tyrell, by: Coe Booth) The main character Tyrell seems to be the father figure  to his little brother Troy. This isn't a good thing because Tyrell was miss guided by his dad who is currently  in jail and will be getting out soon. There is no money being made for Tyrell, Troy and their mother  to live in a house without government assistance. So as the oldest son Tyrell dropped out of school at the age of fifteen and started hustling for some money so that he could provide for his family. He is doing all that he could, he is being a "man," using the little tools and guidance given to him by his father. By following the example that his father made Tyrell wont get far, so he should start his own path and allow his brother troy to be able to look up to his in a positive way. Part of setting an example for Troy is showing him how important his educations is, and that doesn't only mean making sure homework is done. Troy needs someones foot steps to follow in, so if Tyrell goes to school he will be giving Troy the motive to finish school and go to collage. But if that doesn't work out what will happen when their father gets out of jail, and is in charge of all activities and duties?

Tyrell Readers response

After finding out his mother left his brother Troy home alone now Tyrell is furious. Not knowing how to control anger is one of Tyrells biggest problems. He has no one to turn to for guidance or help with problems, his closest friends don't seem to understand, and his girlfriends advice helps to keep him on track but she is a girl and doesn't fully understand things from Tyrells point of view.

Not having a father plays a big part in Tyrells anger because now he has to step up to the plate and provide for his family and not being able to be a regular kid. He hasn't been to school in two moths because he has been trying to make money for his family so that they can live a some what normal life, and if he goes back to school he will be failing all of his classes and won't be able to catch up on his studies. He use to look up to his dad, the man he looked for advice, but now he is lacking experience and is trying the role of a Father by guiding his little brother Troy.

What I feel the overall problem is Tyrell is basically giving up his life to support his ungrateful mother and his brother who he loves and is trying to protect. But at the expense of the teenage years of his life, years he will never get back, and it all goes back to the mistake of his father getting locked up and leaving his family abandoned.

Tyrell is searching. He seems confused, he needs guidance, he needs a male figure in his life, one that is a good role model. His father has been in and out of jail so even though he does look up to his father, his father isn't a credible role model.
