Romeo and Juilet

Well my first impression of this book was that i was going to bbe bored out of my mind. The very first thing that i thought when ms. crabtree mentioned Romeo and Juilet was " omg not another book!..=(". Well anyways Romeo and Juilet is a good book and i am looking forward to reading it.

I think that this image represents The Crystal Merchant because he aced like a crystal.

He told Santiago about persueing his personal dream and how it will affect his life. Same as for a phycic person, the crystal merchant told him that if he truely belives in him self he will become who he really is.

Throught all the presentations that I saw, there are many things that i saw people do. For example, a lot of people gave many good examples that gave me good information that will help me on the final. A specific group that did this was group number 7. Although this is my group, i think that we did a great job because we all had different times to share out stuff. Despite the fact that we all had different ideas, we had to debate about how each of our ideas had affected santiao and which is better. Another thing that i learned is that is that omens have a big deal in our daily life. For example like group 4 said, eversince omens came about, people started worrying more about life and worshipping some gods.

The House on Mango Street

In the book "The House on Mango Street" it talks about how miserable a girl’s life is and how she hates moving around so much throughout her young life. The main characters name is Esperanza. Her name means many letters in Spanish and it also means hope. Her name is Esperanza because her grandmother was also named Esperanza many people such as her teacher pronounces her name awkward which annoys her much. Ever since she has been moving from place to place, many people have been annoying her. Maybe this is a reason why she moves. Any ways Esperanza and her five other siblings (Mom, Dad, Carlos, Kiki, her sister and Nenny) all live in a crowded place where they hardly get what they ever need.

The Alchemist

Towards the beginning of The Alchemist I realized that he was a traveler. Therefore a quote that I thought of for him is “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step". I learned that if you try hard to do what you do best you can succeed in life. In other words Santiago tries everything to succeed. The quote on top reminds me of many movies such as like adventure movies. a movie that reminds me of this quote is raiders of the lost ark. it reminds me of this movie because he has to struggle a lot just to get to a single treasure but the treasure was following him all along in the first place. Maybe that’s what might happen in the book. Santiago might have a friend or so and he or she might be that treasure that he was looking for. idk lol

i have many dreams, but most of them are not so fun to dream of. for example, yesterday i had a dream that i always have. i was dreaming that i was on a train track and then the next thing you know theres a train coming right for me but then when it somes rigt in front of me, a carruns me over from the side. once the car hits me i wake up and i fell all weird. ive had this dream eversince i was a little kid. i think ive been dreaming about this since i was 7 or 8 not so sure. another dream that i always have is that im riding my skateboard and then the next thing you know i jump like 20 stairs and then i fall on my face right on the floor. once that happens i wake up right away.

omg i have no idea what the hell we are doing..
