The Taming of The Shrew Skit (FC)
We are finally done with The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare, and I have to admit that this book was fun to read. Once you to get to understand the book through annotations and class discussions, the book allows you to be aware of how society is changing. I think doing a skit as the last part of the project for the book was a good idea. At first I didn't like it and I still kind of don't because I hate performing in front of people. The skit that my group created was very entertaining and we changed a lot of things from the play such as making one of the guys play the role of Katherine. Moreover, we made of the girls play the role of Petruchio and we added some modern language. When my group was done performing our skit, we received positive feedback. Being able to see the performance of others allowed me to see how they modernize the skit their own way. The class of 2014 are very funny and creative in their own little way. I like how everyone was able to play the part that they were given.

England, Ireland, and Wales (PB)
It was a long flight to London and then we had to take another plane to Ireland. I was very sick and I didn't like the plane ride at all. This made the experience of arriving to Ireland as a terrible memory because I almost had to vomit on the plane and I constantly had to use the bathroom. Moreover, I hate using the restroom whenever I'm sitting in the middle because I don't like it when people have to get up so that I can pass through. Ireland and Wales are two peaceful place to live in and the people are so nice. London can be quiet and loud at times. This all depends on if you are living in the city or in the rural area. The hotels were nice to live in and one of the hotel was very scary because it has a haunted history. I loved exploring the Buckingham palace, the two castles, and the home of Shakespeare. My fear of height was sort of conquered because I went all the way to the top of the castles and look down. The view was beautiful and I enjoyed my spring vacation. I have to say this has been a really good year and it has been full of amazing surprising adventures. Moreover, I can't get out the fact of living in Ireland, Wales, and England because it's a cool place where life is quite as well as entertaining. There are a lot of shops and the prices in these three places doesn't charge you taxes and it's cheaper than here. My experience at England, Ireland, and Wales made me what to go traveling to other places I never been to and I'm thinking about living in these three for at least a whole month.

Taming of The Shrew (CRR)
Taming of The Shrew is written by William Shakespeare and he is a well known author that everyone knows. I read a lot of books that William Shakespeare wrote and some of them were good to read. To be honest Taming of The Shrew is one of the worst book that William Shakespeare has ever written because it's not interesting. I have a feeling that the book is not going to end the way I want it to end. Meaning that Kate is going to abide to the social construction of gender roles during William Shakespeare time period. It's sad to know that Kate might not be the independent woman that everyone thinks she is because sooner or later Kate is going to throw away the tower. Another reason why I don't like Taming of the Shrew is because it doesn't end in a tradgey and I've known Shakespeare to be a tragic playwright due to all the books I've read from him such as Othello, Macbeth, Ceaser, and Romeo and Juielt. Much Ado About Nothing is better than Taming of the Shrew beause it's interesting. I guess I don't like Taming of the Shrew because I know that a woman is going to obey the man who believes that woman are weak and they would soon be dominated by the male.

Man Hunt (FC)
Playing man hunt with the class of 2014 was a fun game. I love playing it because we all had to run away from the person who is it and we all had to hide. It felt as if we were all a part of the hunger games and to be honest it was a scary feeling. The first two round was awful because we all ran away without listening to the instruction and the second time was because I got caught. When Ms. Tomlin and Ms. Spooner gave us a third chance to play man hunt, I decided to hide inside the fifth floor trash can. No one knew I was there and it was a prefect hiding place due to fact that it took a while for people to find me. It was hilarious when I heard people running for their lives and I was sitting in the trash can playing games in my phone. Eventually, someone found me because they wanted to hide behind the trash can at first and couldn't move it. They looked in and saw me. Man hunt is a fun game to play and it was fun to playing with the senior class of 2014.
