Love The Paris Way

       Hi I'm Paris and I'm a part of the Capulet family and in really good terms with Lord Capulet he cares about me so much that he wants me to become his son-inlaw and marry his beautiful daughter Juilet. It's very exciting to hear that I get to marry such a young and beautiful girl and soon have infants with her. I am trying to convince Lord Capulet for the marriage to happen soon because as I have said ''Younger than she are happy mothers made'' which in my terms means she's young right now and can become a young responsible wife and mother, girls about the age of 12 in our society are already having infants so the younger the better. Also it's really hard to have love with the Capulet family because they have had a rivalry with the Montagues for a really long time, as I have said ''Of honourable reckoning are you both and pity 'tis you lived at odds so long but now, my lord, what say you to my suit?''which means there two families have great honour in the society and lt's very heartbreaking to know the two families have been in rivalry so long, It would affect my business if they got back together so I have stopped trying to bring the love back together but to avoid more disturbances in our society they should quit this fighting. I would also like to address that I'm so excited to marry the beautiful and young Juilet it will bring up my respect and business in the society, so I mean if somebody tries to break our alliance then understand their physical features will not be so looking so handsome anymore, but I won't have to really worry about occurring because normal people living in our society will not even try to get close to the Capulet family, the Montagues don't even come close to the Capulets so anybody wouldn't even dare. Well I have to win Juilet's heart and then she will be mine forever. Well love for me is all business if you score a new, young and beautiful deal like I have got Juilet then what's so bad about that right ? I mean I can love her and love our future children even more well I love the Capulet family like my own. But anyways there are many benefits in marrying such a beautiful, wealthy and young girl such as she can can make babies with me as soon as we get married I mean the younger you are is the better, and I will also gain more respect from the society when we get married because everybody knows the Capulet family, also the society looks up to the Capulet family. As I have refered to before I can learn to love Juilet after we get married, not all marriages contain love before the actually alliance but I am still trying to make Juilet fall in love with me, before the marriage but if that dosen't happen then it's still alright because either way were still getting married. But I also want to love a girl that supports me in my business like a lucky charm, I feel Juilet will be a great help for business and a for little bit of love when I get home if you know want I mean. I could also say my love is like Lord Capulet's because he buys his wife whatever he wants, he could also use her for any kind of buisness he wants which is like me, no wonder we get along so well. Coming Lord Capulet well I need to go have a word with my future father-inlaw bye for now.

Mid-Term Report Card

      For me English class is not only based on your grade but based on leaning new things and aspects and also teaching somebody else something that your good at. I also think english class is based on feedback because somebody that has more knowledge and is smarter than you can tell you if your doing something wrong or right because than in the future you can fix that mistake and make your assignment better and that's what I love about having blogs is that you can give and recieve feedback from both your teacher and classmates. English class has been great so far this semester, learning new aspects and things is going great. But now it comes to how I think I'm doing in English class. 


A- Well when it comes to attendance I'm in class every single day unless I am away due to in school volunteering like I was only away two classes, one class I had to miss was because I was helping to host the grade eight retreat and one class because I was helping with the Remembrance Day assembly. On takes time in class I sometimes remain on task because I sit with my friends I get distracted and start talking to them like with me it's easier to get assigments done at home, and then because we do all of of assigments on our phones so during or after I'm done an assignment in class I'll go on my social media apps so I need to work on using class time wisely. For general self regulation of behaviour for personal and class learning for small tasks is also alright because if the topic we are discussing in class or in edmodo is interesting than I tend to pay more attention and if the topic is something I don't really understand I don't really pay attention and get distracted. I clearly need to work on a few of these aspects so I think I deserve a 15% in this category. 


B- Our class got a chance to do a few different assignments. I found every assignment not to hard and not to easy. Out of the 15 assigments the teacher has assigned I have done 13 because I didn't comment one two assignments on the Edmodo. But I'm fine with that and now I know for next time I should get more involved in the class conversation and try to contribute my ideas too. I feel I should get a 21% then. 



C-When your doing assigments you obviously have to try hard and have the best quality work. So far in English class I try my best on both any written and image/video work that we get assigned. I think so far in the semester I done two of my best work of writing which are the The Myers & Briggs Personality Test Result blog post, Interim 1 blog post and the Tattoo assignment. I feel I did really good on these three assignments, and now I can look back and be really proud of that work. I feel I did put my full effort in all my assignments because I believe the best work you can ever do is the work you try your best at and the work you can personally connect to. My work compared to classmates is fully meets expectations because when I'm commenting on other class mates I notice that some of them write less and it's like there not trying there best and by commenting I try to encourage all my classmates to write there best and help them improve, I also look for feedback and comments from the more stronger and smarter people. I could improve in some parts like my punctuation and how sometimes I do a few run-off sentences and to improve I could ask classmates that have stronger skills than me to proof read my work and ask classmates questions if I have any. I feel I should get a 23% in this catorgery because I only have to work on a few little aspects and I feel everything else I am doing fine right now. 



I really love this blog post because I tried my best and worked hard and tried to use all the ideas around me and I got a great comment from Mr.Neufled. 😃


D- Class contribution is essential for the whole class because an idea you might have could bring out the spark in somebody else's ideas and contribution to the class. I feel I do get involved in class conversations and less in the Edmodo conversations we have so I should probably contribute my ideas more on Edmodo. Sometimes when somebody is stuck using the Edmodo I can help because in the starting my friends Sukhdeep, Jasmine, and Prabhjot didn't know how to use the website and app and I already got how to use it so whenever they have questions I help them, because I am pretty good with technology. I comment on classmates blogs when I get some free time and I try to encourage them and give them ideas on how they could get better in there assignments. Also with explaining ideas to peers for example when Prabhjot dosen't know what the idea or topic we are writing about I try to help her the best I can so she can express the awesome ideas. I think this is my best blog comment is 

Because I encouraged Simran and told her what she has really good details so she knows she wouldn't have to work on that much in the future. I feel I should get a 24% because I contribute more in class and I should more in Edmodo but on the bright side  I help my classmates in various things and feel good about it after. 



     Overall I think I am doing pretty good in English and If I improve on the few aspects I addressed earlier I can do great and my total is 83% and I'm pretty happy with that because I personally know I need to work harder on a few aspects and then I could get a high A.

Romeo And Juliet Translation

Translating the chorus was both easy and hard because I didn't understand some words but otherwise I understood most of the chorus because most of the words were modern. I made it easier to me and anyone else that is reading by highlighting the chorus in blue and my translation in orange. 


Two households, both alike in dignity,

Two different families but they have the same honour and wealth. 

In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,

In the city of Verona is where everything the both families live and where everything is occuring. 

 From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, 

The grudge between the two families has lasted for a while and now and still is occuring in the present.

Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

This is a fight where the people included get the ordinary people living in the city involved and also the two families that had honour and respect in the city have now lost that honour and respect due to there fighting. 

 From forth the fatal loins of these two foes 

The fight still contuines from the past now into the present 

A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life;

The two lovers who loved each other so deeply took there lives. 

 Whole misadventured piteous overthrows

The fight finally ends. 

Do with their death bury their parents’ strife.

The lovers death bury the parents anger. 

The fearful passage of their death-mark’d love,

The lovers death marked the end of the fight

 And the continuance of their parents’ rage,

But the rage anger and rivilary continued. 

Which, but their children’s end, nought could remove

The families children end the big fight going on for years that not even the police or government could end. 

 Is now the two hours’ traffic of our stage; 

The fight and rivilary in the main theme of the play. 

The which if you with patient ears attend, 

If you listen and watch the details of the play you will understand everything. 


What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend. 

If you pay close attention you'll find out the true story of the play.
