Their fairy God-mothers were looking out for them on the day they were born; but mine was playing Marco –polo with the tooth fairy in the home of happily ever after for senior citizens. My mother is Queen Grimhilde or better known as the evil queen by everyone else. And so as her daughter I get named…Bruenhilda, oh yeah, Bruenhilda from the kingdom of Swamp foot Falls Everyone thinks I am like my mother but I’m not. I am a normal 19 year old girl with dreams and hopes. And no, I don’t plan to kill anyone in fact me and Rose Red, the daughter of snow white are best friends.

The others in the play consist of lady Capulet and Capulet as well as lady Montague and Montague. these would happen to be the biological parents of the two, (Romeo and Juliet) however the emotional connection between the two lovers and their parents wouldn't be considered as family like. In act 1 scene 1 we are introduced to both of the families, however not introduced to either Romeo or Juliet. In this scene we hear about Romeo from the mother and fathers perspective. Montague and lady Montague are discussing their son's whereabouts when they come to realise that there is something wrong with him. 'Many a morning hath he there been seen, With tears augmenting the fresh morning’s dew' this quote shows that Montague (Romeo's father) knows that there is something wrong with his son therefore he must pay attention to him to establish this, however considering the fact he doesn't quite know what's exactly is wrong with him, it give the reader the illusion that they must not be that close if he can't tell his own father what is wrong. Throughout the scene we don't hear much concern from lady Montague about her son. The only time she speaks about him is when she is asking his whereabouts. She doesn't get involved in Benvolio's (Romeo's cousin) and Montague's conversation about...

Foller the horses, Johnny me laddie, Oh lad lye away me canny lad oh! --Old Collier’s Rant Kate’s Great-Great-Great-Great-Grandparents, James and Jane Harrison “Whoa there, girl, steady as ye go now, Charlotte. This is the last trip o’ the day. That’s a good girl. C’mon now.” James Harrison patted the pony’s thick neck and coughed. He tried to breathe deeply, but instead of filling his lungs with air, he wheezed and coughed some more. He leaned just a little on the tired Welsh pony straining to pull a wagon of heavy coal. She matched the bandy-legged man’s steps as he gently tugged at her harness and spoke to her with kindness in his voice. The copper-toned...

...dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life; Whose misadventured piteous overthrows Do with their death bury their parents' strife. The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love, And the continuance of their parents' rage, Which, but their children's end, nought could remove, Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage; The which if you with patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend. SCENE I. Verona. A public place. Enter SAMPSON and GREGORY, of the house of Capulet, armed with swords and bucklers SAMPSON Gregory, o' my word, we'll not carry coals. GREGORY No, for then we should be colliers. SAMPSON I mean, an we be in choler, we'll draw. GREGORY Ay, while you live, draw your neck out o' the collar. SAMPSON I strike quickly, being moved. GREGORY But thou art not quickly moved to strike. SAMPSON A dog of the house of Montague moves me. GREGORY To move is to stir; and to be valiant is to stand: therefore, if thou art moved, thou runn'st away. SAMPSON A dog of that house shall move me to stand: I will take the wall of any man or maid of Montague's. GREGORY That shows thee a weak slave; for the weakest goes to the wall. SAMPSON True; and therefore women, being the weaker vessels, are ever thrust to the wall: therefore I will push Montague's...

...The Admiral hurried out of his stateroom and headed for the bridge. The Admiral arrived on the bridge within minutes and approached Captain Stokie. “Where’s it at?” the Admiral asked. Captain Stokie pointed to his left, “There, coming hard and fast.” The Admiral raised his binoculars to his eyes, “I can make out US Navy and US Army on the uniforms. Let’s not fire on them and bring them aboard.” “Aye, aye sir.” Captain Stokie said, he then relayed his orders to the Master at Arms. “Sir, why don’t we make our way down to the deck and we can see what they caught.” “Roger that Captain, let’s do it.” Both the Admiral and Captain left the bridge and headed down to the deck.

A verbal confrontation quickly escalates into a fight, “do you bite your tongue at us sir?” a fight doesn’t need to happen but because of the masculine honour and pride they had and they believed a man must defend his honour whenever threatened which was why most of the fights both houses had and will have happens Act one scene 4 Act one scene 5 In the beginning of Act 1 scene5, there are many different moods and atmospheres, beginning with the orders and instructions, making the atmosphere feel busy with lots of rushing around and shouting.

Freddie is looking out the window when Officer Mitchell declares, “Hollywood, well it is more like Hollyweird. We get them all out here, from A to Z,” he explains, letting him know that Hollywood is the home of the stars, the Capital of entertainment, the spotlight of the world, but notwithstanding, everyone doesn’t shine. Listening to the officers, he cannot say much, because, he knows they are telling the truth, at least when it comes to him. “That’s right Freddie, its Gold, and Glamour, Emeralds and Fame, Diamonds and Success.” Freddie interrupts the officer, wearing a grin he shouts disappointed. “Yeah, so what happened to me?

...The Themes of Hamlet: Love in Denmark Through the interactions between young Prince Hamlet, his lover Ophelia, and his mother Queen Gertrude, Shakespeare explores the themes of romantic and familial love. The two main female characters are torn between their love for their families and love for their romantic lovers. Ophelia is torn between her love for Hamlet and loyalty to her father, and Gertrude must choose between her love for Claudius and love for Hamlet. Ultimately, Ophelia and Gertrude’s choices and interactions with the men in their lives suggest that familial love is stronger than romantic love. Hamlet’s treatment towards Ophelia reflects the fickleness of romantic love, and Ophelia’s obedience to her father demonstrates the strength of familial love. Likewise, Gertrude’s quick marriage with Claudius reflects the fickleness of romantic love, and Gertrude’s unwavering love for Hamlet demonstrates the strength of familial love....

I like the joy of beholding a blooming garden, a green lawn and greener plants at home. Therefore, it has become my hobby now. I caught this habit of nurturing plants from my mother. Now with her help and my renewed interest we have managed to maintain a small garden in front of our porch. It has a green carpet of velvet grass and a small trimmed hedge growing around it. We have also prepared flowerbeds in which we have planted a few rose bushes, lilies, sunflowers, China rose and colourful variety of seasonal flowers. We also have grown gladioli, orchids...
