BOOK vs. FILM

QUESTION 5: ELEMENTS.

The principals changed elements are.

Swords for guns. It is the most view element chenged in the film.

Verona for Rio de Janeiro. Rio de Janeiro is the place where the director has recording the film. That place is in Brazil, not in Verona or Italy.

The balcony for the swimming pool. When Romeo and Juliet are talking about their love after the Capulets' party.

The prince of Verona is a ploliceman. We can see it in the film. Is who makes peace and the lord of the city, but in the play is not a policeman, they change it in the film.

Friar Laurence has tattos! In the film we can see it! A friar, with tattos!

Mercutio is a color person in the film. In the play, Shakespeare hasn't said anything about this kind in Mercutio's character.

Another thing I have seen is that Juliet's mother kiss Tyblat in the party! What's this? Is her nephew!!!

THE SONG: TRANSLATE.

TRANSLATE IN CATALAN:

Quan estiguis a punt de plorar recorda,
que un dia tot això ja haurà passat.
Un dia arribarem molt aaaalt.
Tot i que ara tot sigui més
fosc que a Desembre,
el nostre futur te
un color diferent.
Un dia arribarem molt aaaalt.
I al final dels dies,
recorda aquells dies,
quan estavem junts fins al final,
i ens sorprenia com feiem
per passar la nit.
Al final del dia, recorda la manera
en que seguiem tan a prop del final.
Recordem-ho: erem tu i jo.
Com serem tu i jo per sempre,
tu m'ajudaràs a mantenirme volant
alt al cel de l'amor.
No t'ho prenguis com el moment
en que vas començar el que
sempre haviem volgut.
Un dia arribarem molt aaaalt.
Perque inclus el que sembla imposible
és fàcil si podem comptar l'un amb l'altre.
Un dia arribarem molt aaaalt.
I al final del dia, recorda aquells dies
en que estavem tan a prop del final.
I ens sorprenia com feiem
per passar la nit.
I al final del dia, recorda aquells dies en que

estavem tan a prop del final.
Recordem-ho: erem tu i jo.
Com serem tu i jo per sempre,

tu m'ajudaràs a mantenirme volant alt al cel de l'amor.

MY TRIP TO PARIS

I came to Paris last year. I went with my family in CAR (:O!) for Empuriabrava to Paris city. During one complete day!

We arrived to the hotel and left the loggage in our rooms. My father was a long time living in Paris, so he still having an apartment in the center, near the undergrund. So after go out of the hotel we went to the apartment. Then, when we have seen that all the things of the of the apartment went well we go to have dinner. We go to Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower, the Champs Elysées, the Opera of Paris, The cementry of Montmatre... Montmatre is precious, all has a bohemic air, plenty of artists making you retrats, paints...I loved it! I remember that it was snowing all day, one of the not much times I have seen it!

♥ Paris, such a beautiful city!

All the streets were so romantic. This year, we decided to go another time, but we have not time. We will go next year, I hope =').

It is the city of Love, Art, Light... And it is one of MY cities...♥

MY LOVELY PET

His name is Shiwa and he is a very precious dog, a Siberian Husky. He is white and brown and he has blue ice eyes. He's so beautiful!

I always play with him in the afternoon, one hour aproximately.

Shiwa was born on the 20th August of 2009, but he came to my house in November. He still seems to me like a puppy, and really he is =).

He is so hypercative, always playing and running. Is so clumsy too. I take cure of him and I walk around my house and the proximately streets with him. He gets so happy when I put him the dog's collar. I have only one photo of him of when he was a baby, he's so sweet!♥ I really loved to have him when he was a puppy. But now I have taken a lot of photografs to he (here's an exemple). But he is more beautiful in "person" (haha). I love him a lot!

This summer (when the cold has gone) I will be all of the day with him, ALL! I will take him and go to the beach, the mountain, the forest, the park...I don't know.

I wanna be with him forever (and ever♪). =)

EXPERIENCES IN MY LIFE.

I SAW MY LITTLE SISTER THE DAY THAT SHE WAS BORN.

It was a treasure! I know it. She was so little, and I was only four. I was thinking everyday I was in home waiting that my mother came from the hospital. One day in the moring, a voice woke me up immediatly. She is born! She is born! say Sara, my big sister (she was eight in that moment). So I put my clothes so quickly and we go to the hospital with my father and my granmother. And so... she was there. For first, I couldn't see her, because her little bed was too high, but my father hug me and I could see her sweety face! Until that moment, I love she!

My lesson: Never is too late to have a surprise!

I SAW PARIS FROM THE TOP OF THE EIFFEL TOWER.

It was next year, so all the family was on holidays in Paris. One day we say to go to make the long line of people. When the lift took us to the top I couldn't imagine that Paris was so beautiful. It was exciting! So I could not took my eyes out of his lovely streets.

My lesson: Nobody has seen all the beauty of our planet =).

A BOOK I LIKE

The Declaration (La Declaración):

This book talks about a girl, Anna, that is living in 2140 (year). She is an Excedent (people that is born in these years-people can't have children). This people is like servants of "Legal People" (people that is inmortal and young forever).

Peter, a new Excedant, arrives at the center (Grange Hall) where Anna lives. And he told her that he know her parents.

Normal Excedents arrive at Grange Hall center when they are two, but Peter is fiveteen and every day is trying to talk with Anna. He says that he know everything about her and her parents.

Anna dreams in to be the best Excedent and work like a servant in a good house (with people that don't hit servants). But she thinks that Peter will make that her dream breaks.

Finally, they scape from Grange Hall together, to Anna's parents house. Anna discovered that she has a brother, Ben. When the Hunters came, her parents kill themselves and it makes that Anna and her brother can be Legal people. But, what about Peter? The law of the Declaration says that a live will cost a live. Two parents, two children... So he?...

In that moment arrives his grandfather! Peter is the son of Mrs. Pincent! Is totally inusual, she is the person who have hit to him in Grange Hall every day. Mrs. Pincent has killed her husband only to make be Peter a Legal person.

Then Peter and Anna live together with Anna's brother (Ben, the baby) and dreamed in how to help the others Excedents that still being in Grange Hall.
