Culture Shock

(Hey Juliet)
I think you're fine
You really blow my mind
Maybe someday, you and me can run away
I just want you to know
I wanna be your Romeo
Hey Juliet
 
This segment from the song, "Hey Juliet" by LMNT, is an example of how references to the play, Romeo and Juliet, are used everyday and we see these references all the time.

Extra Credit Blog

This year Mrs. Gilman's 3rd period Honors English class has been a pretty good experience. I have enjoyed the entertaining class discussions where both sides fight to convince the other that they are right. The time-consuming reading assignments havn't been the best, but other than that I havn't had a problem with the actual work. I respect Mrs. Gilman and all of my classmates which has made this a fun and memorable year.

The class work and assignments this year have been pretty time-consuming and repetative but when it comes down to it, I have learned a lot of useful information. For example, I learned how to diagram sentences and how to "TWIST" a piece of writing. Honors English has also forced me to read some pretty good books that I would have most likely never read before taking this class.
