Romantic LOVE!!

It all started with the ancient Greeks' realisation of the need to be able to describe more than just one kind of love.
In ancient times, many of the first marriages were by capture, not choice - when there was a scarcity of women, men raided other villages for wives. Often the tribe that the warrior stole their bride from would come looking for her, and the warrior and his new wife had to go into hiding to avoid being found.
Arranged marriages were the norm, primarily business relationships born out of the desire and/or need for property and money.
These days’ women have the freedom to marry whoever they choose, (mostly). Although in some religions peoples marriages are still set up.

“Love is blind”
“Love at first sight”

Love can be blind when you don’t realise it is there. Someone may love you and you do not realise that he or she may be the one for you, and it is like you are to blind to see the love that is there.

Love at first sight is a tricky one. I guess you would have to experience it to know if it can happen. If you see someone that you may want to go after normally it is because of looks. You cant just take one look at the person and decide weather you love them or not.

These days songs about love often refer to jealous love, sexual desire or unfulfilled love.

William Shakespeare

Shakespeare was born on the 26th of April 1564, in strapford -upon- Avon. he had 7 brothers and sisters, his parents names were John and Mary Arden. in November 1582 i married Anne Hathaway and had 3 children after. For most of his life he lived in stratford -upon- Avon. Shakespeare wrote poems, plays and sonnets. He wrote 38-41 plays, most of them were about either history, comedy, tragedy, romance or problem plays. Shakespeare had his own language really. when he wrote his plays he used old english. Back then that is how people spoke, they used words like 'tis and o'er. some of his most famouse lines from plays are :

"to be or not to be, that is the question!" (Hamlet)

"Oh romeo, oh romeo! wherefore out thou romeo?" (Romeo and Juliet)

"Et tu, brute?" (Julius Caesar)

in 1594 Shakespear joined Lord Chamberlins Men theatre company. latter it was named The Kings Men.

In Shakespeare's plays only men were aloiud to act. men even had to act out womens roles as women were not seen worthy to act.

thus concludes thou information on William Shakespeare!

8 below (real one to be read)

i thoroughly enjoyed the movie '8 Below'. I love dogs, and to see dogs working together and show more team work than i seen most humans do. i wanted to cry when some of the dogs die but all of the dogs inspiared me, as they kept going.

it is important for the year 9 program because it shows leadership and team work. if everyone watched out for each other and showed leadership as the dogs did this world would be a wonderful place. Even if not everyone is like this then at least we can be and become leaders in the big wide world.

of corse i watch PG disney movies! they still have happy endings and that is the one thign that can stay the same in this world.

being a true story this helped inspiar me even more to know that real things like this can happen.

The movie was very well made, the build up of emotion was great. My face was starting to hurt because i was trying so hard not to cry.

I lernt that even if things get tough good can still come.

" You ought to take chances for the things you care about" made me think that if i have a goal i should take chances to get to it and the quote"find the one thing that will put your heart at rest" made me see that if you want something bad enough once you find it your heart will be at rest. these are very powerful quotes.

thanks for reading mate!!!
