It’s November 19, 2009, six hours before the premiere of the New Moon is released in theaters. I am at work and almost every girl and guy already got their tickets for the night show. The Rave and Pekin were sold out of tickets but I am going to the Sunnyland Theater. We got there about an hour before the show, so we could get good seats. We all had to park far out almost by the Super Pantry gas station because there was already a big crowd. We went into the doors and the door backed up the lines. There were at least 50 or more in line before us. A lot of them have been waiting for about three hours or even more so they can get a good seat. There were more girls than there were guys. Every girl had either, t-shirts, necklaces, and purses that said the Twilight or New Moon, and my group we had T-Shirts on. Its fifteen minutes before the movie starts, and they are finally seating for the movie. Everyone is so pumped up, loud and jumping in the air because they had energy drinks so they could stay up tonight. Everyone right now is just talking about how they think the movie is going to turn out or juts about the book. Its midnight now and the movie start a minute after midnight. As we all countdown ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three two, one and everyone gets up and cheers that its time for the movie to begin. There was complete silence in theater throughout the movie. All of eyes were on the movie the entire time. At the end of the movie everyone got up and clapped. On the way out of the movie, everyone was talking about what they forgot in the movie that was in the book or how Jacob and Edward were so hot in the movie and that they have to have them. The movie everyone said was the better than the last one because they had a better director for the movie.

Shakespeare in love, its, 1593 in London, Philip Henslowe is the manger of the theater finds himself balance due to a loan shark named Hugh Fennyman. He offers Philip a partnership in a new production that William Shakespeare wrote called Romeo and Ethel and the Pirates Daughter. William finds out that his love was cheating on him. He throws his play right into the fire, and then he renamed his play Romeo and Juliet. He could not right the play because he had no inspiration but he was still auditing for Romeo. A young boy came to Williams the theater to try out for a part in the play named Thomas Kent but really he was a young woman that loved t act and her named was Viola de Lesseps. William tracked down the young and found out his identity and falls in love with Viola. William found his inspiration and it was Viola and he then began writing the rest of the play. William and Viola had to hide their love because Viola is having an arranged marriage. As they hide there love, and keep sneaking around William makes love to Viola and that’s when he got the balcony scene for Romeo and Juliet. If William play is a success then he gets money from the Queen. Viola gets married that day the play was going to be shown. She gets married and then she sneaks out of the carriage and goes to the theater to see the play. When she got there, they were missing a Juliet so she volunteered t play her. William thought she was gone forever and that he did not get to see her again. William was playing Romeo that day and when Viola came out on stage to be Juliet William eyes locked with hers the whole time. I thought the movie was great because it was about how Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet. I loved Romeo and Juliet when I first saw it on the TV. At first when I picked out this movie I thought I was not going to like it but I was wrong. I liked how one girl could make Shakespeare write a whole play. He wrote it about how he fell in love with Viola. He got some many ideas juts by making love to her. I think this movie is better than Romeo and Juliet because you can feel the love Shakespeare was having with Viola.

This class has been great, I learned a lot of things about my writing. I have improved a lot in my writing but I still can do better. I liked all the assignments’ expect for the travel essay. I did not like it because I hated that I had to go and interview them and it was not my kind of writing I liked. My favorite one I going to be the movie I am writing about because I love the Twilight movie and I have so many good thoughts and how I am going to write it. It is going to be difficult about writing about the forbidden love between Edward and Bella but the movie shows you so much that you can get some great ides from it. The one thing I did not like about this class is writing the blogs. I always forget about them or I just do not know what to say.

Writing

I always forget to write in my blog. The ad analyses were a hard paper for me to write. It was easy finding the ad but much harder writing it. I think I looked at that ad for about 4 day’s straight and had no ideas of what to write. It was a good ad but I did not know how to write about it. Went to the studio and got some great ideas. After that I started to think and had things written down for my paper. I think I am doing a good job so far but I know it can be stronger. I am really excited about the next paper about picking a movie. I done this paper before when I had Stephanie Scott my senior year of high school. I picked an okay movie but now I just can not watch it anymore because I am so sick of it. I picked Star Wars III, not the best movie to write on. The only thing I loved about the movie was the romance and maybe some of the fighting.

Blog 8

I have not written in my blog for a really long time because I keep forgetting to do it. Or, I just do not know what to write in it. When I got my autoethnography back I was really pleased with my grade but I still think I can write more and do better with the paper. Writing my travel essay was difficult but at the same time easy. Going to the interview I was really nervous just because it was my first interview. I got a lot of good quotes from the owner and the cooks that were there that day. I was easy when I finally got to put all my notes together, that I had written down or I taped that day. I went to eat there twice because I want to tell people that there pizza is best all around and not just the same kind of pizza everyone else serves. This paper has challenged my writing because I have to use the five senses because I had to describe all the taste that you would taste in the pizza.

Gun Shot at ICC apartments

A Gun Shooting at ICC apartments Sunday morning around 1:30a.m. Three men from Peoria was arrested and taken to Tazewell County Jail. On charges of mob action and aggravated battery. Emmanuel Jones was 21, Jemeral Linwood 19, and Rodrick Johnson 19, they were all guest at the party but they did not go to ICC. President John Erwin knocked on door at the apartment to make sure everyone is okay. He was told there was a little party going on but when everyone started to text it grew larger. Then a fight broke out and it lead into the parking lot. A lot of students heard 6 gunshots go off and everyone started to yell and run away. There were injuries and some people were transported to the hospital. When I heard about this I thought about how many people might move out because this happen. They should have had better secretary then what they had that night if they knew that a party was going on. They should have every guest check in before they can come to the apartments unless you go to ICC. That many people should be allowed in the apartment at once. I think a lot of people are going to move out since they think it’s not safe there anymore for them. They are going to lose some business now since this has happen.
