Romeo and Juliet Video:

Alright, so I found this video by typing "Romeo and Juliet love" into Youtube and clicking on a couple pages... Anyways, this is a Romeo and Juliet type of video, only "The Notebook Style." I chose this because in movie The Notebook, Allie's parents don't want her to marry Noah because they think he's not rich and good enough for her, even though they are in love. Instead, they only allow her to marry this other guy who she ends up marrying. I thought this was similar to Romeo and Juliet because the parents of each child are enemies, and wouldn't stand for them marrying each other. Also, it's similar because whenever Romeo and Juliet are together, they always seem to be happy, as do the characters in the video.

Romeo & Juliet Picture-

I found this image that reminded me of the balcony scene. It is supposed to portray Romeo and Juliet kissing, like they were on this night Romeo snuck over after the party. If we hadn't saw the scene in the movie, which this picture mostly represents, I probably would've imagined the scene to be like this anyhow. Except for the part where Juliet has pink hair. Everything else fits though.

Characters in R&J!

From what we've read, I think Juliet is based on a young, tender hearted little girl. She is sweet and obedient, and follows the rules of the household. Her physical descriptions that I pictured were that she would have long, curly redish hair, big brown eyes, full lips, and be very tall. If I met her, I think that she would be very quiet and polite. She would strike me as mature and well taught.

If Juliet was an actual person, I would compare her to Mrs. Gilman. (It's a compliment.) If I picture Mrs. Gilman when she was around our age, I could see her being the smart, pretty, innocent girl who was very polite, although a bit shy. She was the one that everyone copied answers from. Now I could be totally wrong, and Mrs. Gilman could've been some wild and crazy party animal, but I don't know the straight facts for sure. I basing this guess all on my observation knowledge. Sorry if I blew your secret, Mrs. Gilman.

Premonitions.

There has only been one time that I can ever recall having a "premonition." In the 6th grade, I remember having our very first choir concert of the year. Before going in front of an audience, I always get nervous, no matter what I'm doing. Since it was my first middle school concert, I was especially nervous. Just as I was getting ready and walking out the door to the car, I had a bad feeling... I felt like something bad, or embarrassing, was going to happen to me either before or while I was on stage. Since I couldn't put my finger on what specifically it was, it was impossible for me to prevent it.

Twenty-five minutes before the concert, I walk into Olympia High School, thinking I was all cool in my white blouse and black pants. Thing is, I wasn't. I saw some of the other people in choir that I knew going to the warm up room. Just as I was about to go warm up, I get a nose bleed! There was a red dot on the sleeve of what used to be my gleaming white shirt. I started to panic, and rushed to the bathroom. Thankfully, it was 15 minutes before the concert that my nose bleed stopped. I made sure I was alright, and then went to warm up. Come to think of it, I am the luckiest girl in to world... Why? Because that nose bleed didn't wait until I was on stage.
