What has your experience with poetry been throughout your life?

My experience with poetry has mainly been through the English courses i have taken throughout the years. My English teacher in high school provided some great poets for us to study. My two favorite poets would have to be Edgar Allen Poe and Robert Frost. Both of their works are brilliant and i find them interesting. The poems that we had to do for homework did not spark my interest. I found the first poem was hard to interpret.

What other types of papers have you been assigned to write outside of this class this semester?

This is the only class I have had papers to write. My other classes have had tests throughout the semester. Towards the end of the month I will have a few final papers due but for now all my grades have come from this english class. I am not totally happy with the grades but I plan on doing better for the last part of the semester. My overall goal is to get at least a 3.0 gpa.

What do you think of this class so far?

Everything about the class is fine except for the homework. I have trouble writing papers and having one due after everything class is tiresome. All this practice can only benefit me in the end but after this class i do not plan on taking anymore English classes. I do not have a definite major but lately i have been leaning towards health. I'm gonna look into maybe becoming a physical therapist because i enjoy helping people and making them feel better. Overall this class is not that bad but I am ready for the semester to be over and to finally have summer. :)

Do you think theatre is still a relevant artform in today's society?

I think theatre is an essential art that continues to hold importance in our culture today. Art is an expression of emotions. For me personally i hold interest in music more than theater. I have a passion for music and find it more appealing than going to plays. I think that for certain people theater is their way of life and for me music is mine. It all depends on what you are passionate for.

my birthday!

My birthday is on thursday and I couldn't be happier! I'll be 19. I am already setting up plans for the city, dinner with my family, and even a show this weekend. Most people don't believe me when I first tell them I am born on April Fool's Day. Hopefully I won't get too many jokes played on me but i guess we' ll have to wait and see!

addresses issues in plays

The play "Romeo and Juliet" addresses prejudice issues. These two famililes can wrapped in a endless battle. Prejudiece is shown through the clash between the Montague and Capulet families. This fighting has been going on for years and most of the members are predisposed to think badly of one another.

Have you ever seen a play in person?

The first and only play I have seen in person is "Wicked". I throughly enjoyed this play. I saw it at the Gershwin Theater in New York City with my junior year history class. I have read the book "The Wizard of Oz", and have also seen the movie. It has always been a favorite of mine.This play was unique in that it was told from an alternate perspective. The story is told from the viewpoint of the wicked witch. The audience sees that wicked witch has not always been witched.I thought it was well written and a good first experience.
