Lady Capulet is a character who does not show many feelings.

 The falling petals. The Petals represent her relationship with her daughter. She does make an effort to reach her daughter but Juliet is much closer to her nurse. She thinks she should get married like like she had to. Shes not really the best mom either. When Juliet looks to her for help with her father she says, “Talk not to me, for I’ll not say a word: Do as thou wilt, for I have done with thee” (A. III S. V). she will not help Juliet at least pause the wedding.

The dotted rose. The dotted rose in the heart shows how she cared for Tybalt. When Romeo killed Tybalt she wanted revenge against him. She tells the Prince, “I beg for justice, which thou, prince, must give; Romeo slew Tybalt, Romeo must not live” (A.III S.I). She loved her cousin and wanted him avenged. The black line through the rose shows her grief when he is killed.

The heart. The heart shows how her and her husband get along. They get along pretty well teasing each other as they prepare for Juliet’s wedding. She is an obedient wife. In the beginning she does tell him he needs a crutch not a sword at his age. “A crutch, a crutch – why call you for a sword?”(A.1 S.1). She doesn’t want him to fight and hurt himself.

The red and black. The red and black represent how she feels about the Montague’s especially after Romeo killed Tybalt. She despises the Montague’s and wants romeo dead for killing Tybalt.

Final Product. These symbols and colors come together to represent Lady Capulet and how she feels.

The painting Venus and Mars by Sidney Harold Meteyard  combinds the dark colors and the deep reds to portray the sinful romance between a man and woman.

We did an assignment in class to learn about mythology. We had to pretend we were a god or goddess and give hints and include a picture so people could figure out who we were.

Here were my clues:

1. Being of great beauty men and gods court me.

2. “They” tried to make me fall in love with the most vile man.
3. A god fell in love with me instead.
4. I’m commanded to preform a series of difficult tasks which culminated in a journey to the underworld.
5. I was not allowed to look at my husband.
6. Born mortal, but I became a goddess.
7. My jealous sisters tried to talk me into killing my husband.
8. I cheated and peeked, and my husband fled.

9. We’ve had our trials yet we found each other and this union can never be broken.

These are the sentences I found in October Sky

Simple sentence- Each house in Coalwood had a fenced-off square of yard. page:2

Compound sentence-I had to admit I wasen’t certain about that, but the Reverend said it was alright. page:4

Complex sentence-A Coalwood family required a father, one who could work in the mines. page:6

Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment, by James Patterson is a remarkable book. The story is about a flock of six bird children who had escaped a formidable lab, also known as the school, where they had been experimented on. They were forced to fight off the creatures from the school in order to stay together and survive. The book had me on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. A great story with plenty of action and adventure.

 I would recommend the book to others who, like me, don’t like to read because the book continues with the action and interesting plots and doesn’t slow down. I really like the book because it held my attention and I was immersed in the story. In my opinion there’s nothing bad that I can say about the book.
