What Hatred Has Halved
In the great City of Athens, a man named Romeo is madly in love with Rosaline. But it seems that they are never meant to be together. Romeo's father, Oberon, sees him spending time alone in the woods. Oberon orders his servant, Puck, to give Romeo the magic potion made from a flower in the forest. Romeo fell asleep and Puck poured the magic potion to his eyelids. Oberon, wanting new love for Romeo, carries him to the ball aboard the ship. Romeo awakens and sees the lovely maiden, Juliet. Romeo fell in love faster than a lightning bolt. The two became really close to each other. While the people in the ball are enjoying their time, Oberon was found dead. The news spread quickly. Oberon was killed with a knife. The knife was given to Oberon's son. A wild tempest appeared out of nowhere. Everyone in the ball panicked. A thunderbolt struck the ship and the ship breaks in half. The passengers fell. When they regained consciousness, they discovered they were drifted to the shores of Athens. Romeo saw Oberon happy with his wife, Titana. Romeo got very confused because he saw with his own eyes the cold dead body of his father. He overhears the conversation of Oberon's men. They described Juliet as a whore. Angry, Romeo tells everyone about what he heard. Juliet was heartbroken. While walking, he encountered three witches who introduced themselves as Oberon's servants. They told Romeo the real story behind Oberon's death. Oberon has a twin brother. They were separated by a storm when they were still young. Oberon hated his twin brother because he thought he never searched for him. Oberon was killed by his twin brother, who happens to be king Hamlet's assasin, and his men. He was killed so he won't be able to stop the tempest. They also revealed the truth about Juliet. What Romeo heard was a lie. Romeo felt sorry for he truly loved Juliet. Guilty, Romeo apologizes to the Capulets. They told Romeo that Juliet died from a heart attack. The Capulets ordered Romeo to marry Juliet's cousin. Romeo accpeted it in guilt. On the day of the wedding, Oberon's men kidnapped Romeo. Seeing Oberon, He went berserk and broke free. He grabbed a guard's sword and raised it against Oberon. Romeo shouts "Impostor". Oberon draws his sword and they fought all out. It came to the point when Romeo was on his knees. Oberon throws Romeo's sword away. When Oberon was about to cut Romeo's head off Romeo grabbed the knife, the knife from his father's body, in his pocket and stabbed Oberon on the heart. Oberon's last words revealed that Titania was behind his father's death. After the dreadful incident the wedding resumed. Juliet's cousin revealed herself as Juliet. Titania lost her crown and was never to be seen again. Romeo and Juliet became the king and queen. They lived happily ever after.

Fair is foul and Foul is Fair
Foul And Fair
For me the quote "Fair is Foul and Foul is Fair" means that nothing in this world is what it seems. We live in a world where we're never sure if what we are seeing right now is real. It is a world where you can't easily trust anyone.
Let's all admit that we still judge other people by their looks. The least attractive people are those we deal with less kindness. We treat attractive people with great benevolence. I have an experience when I was still an immature kid. I would treat people based on their appearances. I mostly like girls who have white complexion, almond eyes, cute voice and short hair. Whenever I see a girl of my type I would want to know her more. If I see someone whom I really dislike his looks I would avoid them at all cost. But now I'm a changed person. I treat everybody equally. I love somebody now. I fell in love with her not because of her good looks. I fell in love with her because she has a good personality. She is understanding, responsible and sweet. As I look at who she really is she gets more beautiful each day. This makes me love her more.
What we really need to look at is what's inside and not what is seen by the naked eye.
The world could be deceiving. But there are times that we are over thinking things in which you yourself should know when to stop.
Good looks can't make me laugh when I'm down and entertain me when I'm bored. I don't care what she looks like. All we should care about is the personality and who the person is. Appearance is just a plus in a relationship and personality si what matters the most in everybody

Climax
Climax of A Midsummer Night's Dream
What is the climax? The climax is the most intense, exciting, or important point of something; a culmination or apex. We were asked to identify the climax of the famous Shakespeare play entitled "A Midsummer Night's Dream". I'll only give my opinion so it may not be very accurate.
There is a part in the story where Lysander and Hermia decided to elope. Helene told Demetrius about the plan of the two. Then, Demetrius and Helena went after Lysander and Hermia. When they decided to sleep Lysander and Hermia agreed to sleep far from each other. Puck thought that Lysander was the man wearing Athenian clothes Oberon referred to. Puck poured the love potion on the eyelids of Lysander. When he woke up he was in love with Helena. Puck making a mistake, made the four of them quarrel.
This part of the story is the climax for me for this is where the conflict is really emphasized. This is the part where excitement is at its peak.
To Forgive is to Forget
To Forgive is to Forget
How do you forgive? Do you forget about it? Forgiving and forgetting are two different things. How are they related? For me forgetting is the best way to forgive.
There are reasons why we should forgive and forget.First, Forgiveness means that you've made peace with the pain, and you're ready to let it go. It's to tell others that you have moved on from the past.Second, we forgive because it is for us. If we forgive we would be moving away from the pain that we were once trapped in. Third, forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. Only a strong person can face pain head-on, forgive and release it. Fourth, forgiveness is also about forgiving ourselves. Guilt never makes anyone feel better.Last, forgiveness is the most beautiful form of love. Forgetting is also one way of forgiving. Sometimes we need to forget the bad things that happened and focus on how to fix it instead. That way it would be easier for all to move on.
Forgiveness isn't that hard to give. All you need is a little courage and acceptance. Everybody makes mistakes. There are times where we have to accept and face the truth.

Sports or Studies
Academics and Athletics
The success in academics and athletics may both be caused by interest. There are those people that really enjoy reading, analysis and answering problems. There are also those people that loves to let out the energy that is stored inside their body in an activity that will wear them out on their will.
Despite the research which shows the need to stress academics over athletics, there are some who believe that a sport is their ticket to success. There are many reasons why students find sports more important than school. The most enticing draw of professional sports is the money that can be earned. Duncan states, “Money talks, so right now there is an absolute perverse incentive. Folks follow the money, and the money says, ‘we don’t care about academic outcomes’.” It’s a difficult argument to contradict when the average family physician makes less than $200,000 a year and the league minimum for Major League Baseball is $300,000. Doctors spend countless years in school, studying and learning how to be a doctor while in some scenarios; teenagers are making over $100,000 dollars a year more than them because they are good at playing a sport.
I would rather choose academics. A student athlete’s education is a crucial part of their college experience. While sports may be a major focus for some, the academic component is vital. Academics success leads to more career opportunities and acts as a fall back plan for failed professional athletes. Since the research shows that the number of college athletes who make it to into professional sports is small, it is important that sports are not favored over academics.
