Romeo and Juliet, love at first sight, or crazy lunatics.

 


Good afternoon and welcome to my blog,


This workshop we were tasked with creating a play list for Shakespears: Romeo & Juliet. I was very maticouls when it came to choosing certain songs. Seeing as majority of the music I listen to is gospel music. Some songs I had to go through and change because, I felt like they didn't go with the act, nor the scene. This took me painstaking hours of listening to songs and looking through lyrics to make sure that I chose the right song. So I hope you enjoy my presentation.

Act 1 Scenes, 2 & 5:
”Sorry not Sorry” – Demi Lovato

Now, you're out here lookin' like regret, ain't too proud to beg
Second chance, you'll never get”

”If it isn’t love” – New Edition

“I don't love her
I tried to tell myself
But you can see it in my eyes
So don't deny
I can't fool no one else
The truth is in the tears I cry”

Act 2 Scenes, 1, 2 & 6:

”Can't stop this feeling” -Justin Timberlake


“I got that sunshine in my pocket
Got that good soul in my feet

I can't take my eyes up off it, movin' so phenomenally
Room on lock, the way we rock it, so don't stop”

“Alone” -42 Dugg, Lil Durk

How the f*** you goin' down when I was eighteen?”


“My little love” –Adele


“I don’t recognize myself in the coldness of the daylight
So I ain't surprised you can read through all of my lies

I'm so far gone, and you're the only one who can save me”

Act 4 Scenes, 3 & 5:

“Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on

And last for a lifetime
And never let go 'til we're gone”

”Bring me back to life” –Everesance

Call my name and save me from the dark (wake me up)

Before I come undone (save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become"



”Jehova Jireh” -Jekalyn Carr


"My faith is being tested but I know You will, You will come through
Just like You did for Abraham
God I need You to show me a sign"

Am I really a Global Peace Maker?

Hello all! It's been quite some time since I last made a blog post. First I wish you all a wonderful Merry Christmas, and an amazing new year! This term, I was in a class called Global peace, this term we focused on methods that would and should bring attention to issues in our community, in nonviolent ways. Global peace also focused on the Gandhian principles of truth, nonviolence, Sarvadoya, and Satyagraha. In Global Peace, we went on some inspiring FEs like the neighborhood walk. On this FE we got to walk through two different neighborhoods and observe the differences between them. For this AP I had to make a plan to combat an issue, I chose gun violence, and the purpose of this is to promote a sense that we are all welcome, and we can all live in a community without violence. The purpose is also to show that we are on a united front to stand against gun violence. I hope you enjoy my slide show, and I hope it will help you understand why gun violence is a prevalent issue in all...

Walters impulsions

In this drama unit, we focused on defining the concept of a "matriarch" and explored its role in perpetuating inequality. We read  A Raisin in the Sun  by Lorraine Hansberry, which tells the story of a Black family struggling to improve their lives in 1950s Chicago after receiving a $10,000 insurance check. Alongside our reading, we visited the Goodman Theater, where Kelsey introduced us to various archetypes of Black women in theater. While reading the play, I found myself resonating with Ruth, especially as her husband Walter faced significant challenges. Walter’s grave mistake stemmed from the immense pressure he felt to provide for his family, as he assumed the role of the head of the household. Living with strong, independent women who often belittled him contributed to his struggles. My engagement with Walter's character allowed me to glean valuable insights about his humanity and motivations. The turning point for Walter came when he grappled with the weight of his...
