Romeo & Juliet

Quote= "A glooming peace this morning with it brings. The sun for sorrow will not show his head."

Question= What does this mean?

Comment= I believe this means a tragic thing has happened during the hour and its sad and its not shining, the sun cant even believe. I believe this quote can have many different meanings though.

Q= "She'd read somewhere that first love never truly disappeared, that it always lay just under the surface, lingering there, waiting, like dry tinder that only need the touch of a match, a spark, to ignite."

Q= What so powerful or fantasizing about first love ? How is it unforgetable ?

C= Is it so unforgetable because its an experience that lifts you off your feet, or is it something u did that makes it so memorizing such as emabarrasing. Why do so many talk about first love, I don't get how someone can forget about everything else in life just over some person. How can it be special ? Or maybe some people just like to escape and hope for some sort of getaway, maybe its so memorable because it made them feel free. But I guess its impossible to know unless experienced. All I know is its CHEESY ! and lemonsqueezy.

Reading Journal qqc format

I just recently got a new book which is called "wicked game" by Lisa Jackson
A quick brief of whats going on is twenty years ago a girl named Jessie died and was murdered in a mysterious way, and now its been twenty years later and her bones where found. and her friend becca has relized this, and had a wierd day dream of seeing but it was as if it was real and mac a detective has also found this out, and feels this case is different then all the other ones he has had, this case is different.

Q= Mac expected to experience some kind of satisfied "I told you so" building up inside

Q= why does everyone have these feelings or moments ?

C= I could see how people can gain a feeling of "I told you so", when no one believes them and then they get proof and then they do believe them, But what use is it to say I told you so, its just a waste of time, and if u already knew you were right just keep going and move on people will realize that you were. All that matters is that you believe in yourself and know your right to get anything done.

Quote

The quote I heard in my reading today was by Marianne when she said, "it will be all right." This common quote is repeatedly said every single day by many people. We often hear this quote when there is a problem but the common question answered back is, "nothing will ever be all right." Or their Isn't always happy endings. But there is, we got to learn how to believe, most people just try to act mature when in reality we have to hold a little bit of our childhood to keep us alive. There always is a happy ending even in the real world even though we may not believe in the beginning we got to keep the meaning in our heads at all times.

Media

My definition of media is to endorse a product through magazines ads and communication. But my teacher Ms. Kay said the definition of media is to communicate with others through technology. As my teacher said the definiton a group of my classmates brought up a good point what about gossip it spreads fast goes through a large group of people and does not use technology. So what is media. Media is everywhere and a part of our daily routine. It may blind us from everything else butwe always see it. Does media have to be through technology? As dictinary.com said it is the means of communication, as radio and television, newspapers, and magazines, that reach or influence people widely. But does it have to influence people widely cause i see media, but i never realized it before, never really cared. So i looked at some images and decide that media is idea of communication through others.
