3. How does Paris respond to this?
-No matter how old she is, Paris said that she is not too young to get marry with him.

4. How do you respond to this?
-I think Capulet was right. Juliet is too young to marry with Paris...

5. What does Capulet hope will happen at the party?
-Capulet was hoping for Paris to find another good person to marry with because Capulet didn't want Paris to marry with his daughter Juliet.

6. What is Benvolio's hope for the party?
-He is very nice friend of Romeo and he is always thinking about what Romeo wants to do. At the party, Benvolio was hoping for Romeo to enjoy the party and moreover, he was thinking if Romeo can find any cute girl other than Rosaline because he seems like he wasn't really care about his fiance Rosaline.

7. Romeo's response?
-He said he doesn't want to go to the party because he doesn't have any clothes to wear to hide from the Capulet (Benvolio did ) , and because he is in the Montague Family, he was afraid to go inside of Capulet's house and see Capulet Family because he thought it might cause them to fight.

8. Has Shakespeare created an interesting story so far? Explain.
-I think Shakespeare has created an interesting story so far. First half of the story is all about the comparing between Capulet and Montague family and how Romeo and Juliet loving each other even though their parents were not expecting them to be together.

#18 Act1 Scene i

Q.What do you think is bothering Romeo?
-I think his family is bothering him. He fell in love with Juliet, but she is in Capulet. He knows that he can't love with her because Romeo is in Montague and Juliet is in Capulet. If their parents noticed his love, they might kill them.

Q.Why is he getting up early and then shutting himself in his room?
-I think he getting up early and then shutting himself in his room because he was so sad and he didn't want other people to see his sad face.

Q.What kind of friend is Benvolio?
-Benvolio is Romeo's best friend and he is very kind person. When Romeo wants to be left alone, he leaves him alone, when he wants to talk with him, Benvolio is there to listen his story carefully. When Romeo starts fighting, Benvolio tries to stop him. He also spend most of the time with Romeo so I think Benvolio is the only one who can understand real Romeo.

#16 Chapter12 The Cry of the Hunters

Finally I finished reading this book Lord of the Flies. I've already watched the movie version of this series so I knew its ending but I really enjoyed the ending because the boys are rescued. They are rescued and that's what they wanted to happen but after Jack killed Ralph's friends, I don't think Ralph was expecting to be rescued because he was now alone- no Piggy, no Simon, no Sam and Eric....

I was very scared to watch their killing of each other but it was also fun to see their change compare from the beginning of the book. Jack couldn't kill the pig when he first arrived on the island and now he changed to person who can kill the pigs, and even humans.
I really enjoyed reading this book. It was way better than "Cue for Treason" and "The Midnight Summer Dream" from the Grade9 English.^^

#15 Chapter11 Castle Rock

I still can't believe at all that Piggy died at the end. Jack killed Simon before and now he killed another human. I remember the scene when Jack and his hunters were playing with a rock at the top of the castle rock. Like we learned during the class, this scene is foreshadowing the scene at the end which it is describing the scene of killing Piggy with a rock. I thought Jack is the only who can kill the human but he didn't kill him directly. He used his hunter to kill him...so it wasn't all his fault.. I'm so scared that now they all changed to human who can easily kill others.

#14 Chapter10 The shell and the glasses

Separation between Ralph and Jack being worst again. At the very beginning of the book, Jack did listen least one idea from Ralph but in this chapter he was taking his hunters to take over Ralph's team and didn't even listen what Ralph was trying to say. Close to the end of the chapter, Jack's tribe came up to Piggy and took his glasses.. Piggy lost his way to see but Jack didn't care about it. What I thought through reading the chapter is that the real human can do everything for their want. Jack wants to be in the centre of the group but he couldn't at the begging so he took Ralph's power (conch) and all the hunters and Piggy's glasses.

#13 Chapter9 A view to a Death

Poor Simon... I feel so sad what Jack and his hunters did to him. Beast was the biggest fear in that deserved island, and they were all afraid of seeing those beasts surviving on the island. Simon was my favourite character in the book and I was hoping for them to be rescued including Simon and he was killed by his group member Jack and his hunters because they thought Simon was a beast??! I can't believe Jack!!! Ralph, Piggy, and Simon finally figured that "beast" is not real and he was killed as a beast... Jack attempts to kill a pig through the book and I though he was being cruel and worst everytime because he was killing to see a blood and not the pig. I was surprised that Jack finally killed the human..

#12 Chapter8 Gift for the Darkness

In this chapter, I was surprised what Jack did to Ralph. When they arrived on the island, they all decided to follow their rules and a conch was one of the biggest item to symbolize who is the leader. However, when Piggy took a conch and blew it, Jack didn't even listen what Piggy was talking and unbelievably, he and his hunters ran away from where Ralph and Piggy were to hunt another pig. I thought they will come back as soon as they hunt the pig but they weren't. Jack surpened both ends of stick and he stabbed that pig's head through the top of the stick and putted other side on the ground. This pig head is representing their power and the title of this book "Lord of the Flies".
Simon was talking with Lord of the Flies, but I wonder how did he talked with a pig head.

#11 Chapter7 Shadows and Tall Trees

I like this chapter. They(Sam and Eric) finally figured out what the beast was. It was a human, and he was a pilot who ejected from the plane while he was fighting. If he was the real face of the beast, then why did they saw a beast coming from water? I think the shadows in the jungle represents their own fears and I'm not sure about tall trees.. I like Simon in this book. He is the only boy who feels differently. He is not afraid of any darkness or the beast who is surrounding in the forest.

#10 Beast from Air

Chapter 6 opens with a parachuting body drifting down to the ground from the sky. First thought when I read through few sentence, was that they are going to be rescued by a guy just coming from the sky,, but we still had to read about half of the book after it so I thought some extra story is fitting in this book like "what happened after they get rescued" but it wasn't. Parachuting guy was already dead. They missed another chance to get rescue.

I wonder what Sam and Eric saw in that forest, because I thought the beast is just their imagination and not exist. They said that the beast had wings, teeth, and claws, and there was something moving behind its head. If the beast is just in their head and not real, it is weird them to see same appearance of the beast at the same time. An animal with a wings on its back and walking through the forest??? No way.(O--O)

#9 Chapter5 Beast from Water

In this chapter, they were all afraid of "Beasts" surrounding the island. The book didn't mention what beast was ,or what beasts were. But like Simon says, I think the beasts are all imagination and not exist at all.Beasts are the imagination and the creature of all the fears, and negative mind in their heart.

In some part of the this chapter, Ralph shouts that the rules are the only thing they have got holding them together,but Jack was louder and he leads rest of the boys off to search for the beast. Piggy and Ralph and Simon are left in. What I felt during reading the book is that CONCH lost its power completely. He blows it to gather everyone back but no one comes back. If both conch and Ralph can't help with Jack and his hunters, they cannot survive there forever. Jack might kill either Ralph, Piggy or Simon because he didn't listen for others at all, and if somebody disagreed with his idea he might...he might kill that guy to be in the center of the group and island.
