DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE FILM AND THE BOOK OF ROMEO AND JULIET

1.SETTING: The first fight of the story, in the film takes place at the petrol station and in the book it takes place in the streets of Verona. The movie is set in 20th Century and the book is written in the 16th Century.
2. IMAGERY: Water means love in the film, all the important love scenes between Romeo and Juliet happen near the water.The fire represents the hate between the Capulets and the Montagues.
Day and night; at night they can love beause nobody can see them, but at dayllight they can't love because the people can see them. The moon is the sun of their love.
3. LANGUAGE: In the film everybody less the narrator speak in prose, the other speak in verse.
4. THE FANCY DRESS PARTY: The fancy party; The costume of Paris means that he think he's superior to the others. Juliet's costume is an angel because in the book, when Romeo sees her he thinks she's so fair that she's an angel. Romeo's costume is a knight because he's Juliet's Prince Charming and Knight of shining armour.
5. ELEMENTS: In the film they fight with guns and in the book with swords, there are cars instead of horses, and the beach in the film it's like the streets of Verona in the book.

MY WORLD - Nightmare

Here, I'm going to tell you my first nightmare, the bad one for me because I will never forget it.

One day, when I was about five years old, I had a nightmare. That nightmare started in a strange room full of big glass walls, and I appeared there, alone and afraid. I started listening to sounds and I asked for my mother, but nobody answered me. Suddenly a little dragon came, the dragon of my toothpaste and he had magical powers that made me laugh a lot tickling me.

He didn’t stop tickling me and I started to cry and cry because I was feeling like I can’t do anything. My parents appeared and they couldn’t stop the little dragon. Then I woke up nervous and I felt relaxed without anybody tickling me.

The one in the photo is the little dragon, because when I was little I always brushed my teeth with that toothpaste.

MY WORLD- Let her go

I like this song because it tells the truth, I like the sentence "The dreams come slow and it goes so fast" for example. These sentences make you think about life, love and other things.

I remember the first time I heard this song was in the summer, last year, and I have really liked it since I heard it. 

I have translated the lyric, here it is!

Només necessites la llum quan s’està apagant

Només trobes a faltar el sol quan comença a nevar 
Només saps que l'estimes quan la deixes marxar 
Només saps que has estat bé quan et trobes malament
Només odies la carretera quan trobes a faltar casa teva
Només saps que l’estimes quan la deixes marxar 
I la deixes marxar
Desitjant que un dia facis que un somni duri
Però els somnis venen a poc a poc i marxen ràpid
Potser algun dia entendràs perquè
Tot el que toques segur que mor
Només trobes a faltar el sol quan comença a nevar
Només saps que l'estimes quan la deixes marxar
Només saps que has estat bé quan et trobes malament
Només odies la carretera quan trobes a faltar casa teva
Només saps que l’estimes quan la deixes marxar
Perquè l’amor s’acosta a poc a poc i marxa molt de pressa
Però mai la pots tocar ni guardar
Perquè l’estimaves massa
I et submergeixes massa fons
Només trobes a faltar el sol quan comença a nevar
Només saps que l'estimes quan la deixes marxar
Només saps que has estat bé quan et trobes malament
Només odies la carretera quan trobes a faltar casa teva
Només saps que l’ estimes quan la deixes marxar
I la deixar marxar
La deixes marxar
Només trobes a faltar el sol quan comença a nevar
Només saps que l'estimes quan la deixes marxar
Només saps que has estat bé quan et trobes malament
Només odies la carretera quan trobes a faltar casa teva
Només saps que l’ estimes quan la deixes marxar
Només trobes a faltar el sol quan comença a nevar
Només saps que l'estimes quan la deixes marxar
Només saps que has estat bé quan et trobes malament
Només odies la carretera quan trobes a faltar casa teva
Només saps que l’ estimes quan la deixes marxar

Començant des de sota del teu got

La veus quan tanques els ulls

Perquè només necessites la llum quan s’està apagant 

Mirant al sostre en la foscor 

La veus quan et quedes adormit

Perquè només necessites la llum quan s’està apagant

I la deixes marxar

Perquè només necessites la llum quan s’està apagant

Perquè només necessites la llum quan s’està apagant

I la deixes marxar

My favourite quote of the book was one which appears in an exercice "Parting is such sweet sorrow"

TEXT 1

Dear friend!

My favourite film characters are comedy and the romantic ones. I like them beacause they make me laugh a lot and I enjoy it so much, and I like the romantic characters beacause I always think that the boys are perfect because the film director makes them feel like perfect real people. Another thing that I could explain is that I think that they choose the best scenes to record the films.

Se you soon, XX

I was glad when my phone started to ring. I thought it could be my best friend, because we haddn't talked to each other for a long time and I wanted to talk to her.

I picked up the phone and it was my neighbour, he told me that my mother had an accident... I started to get worried and then I cried a lot. Then he told me that... Everything was a joke. I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!!! He makes me feel so, so afraid!!!

Them I called my mom. She was OK. I couldn't imagine my world, my life, without her or my father.
