Romeo & Juliet

Shakespeare wrote Romeo & Juliet's ending leaving it vague, there was where posibilities appeared. We, the humans have this strong feeling called curiosity. Curiosity is a state in which you want to learn more about something. Though, that wasn't the only thing that made interesting the way that Shakespeare wrote, another thing is that he writes with double meaning and symbolism which makes us wonder what is really happening and what will happen next.While we were reading Romeo and Juliet we started to wonder what might happen at the ending, though we knew what the ending was, we were VERY curious at the details and events that would lead to it so, it kept us reading.

Stealing (:( Right or Wrong:?

Stealing is WRONG! According to the bible and the testaments God said "Do not steal". That involves any kind of situation. What Liesel did was bad, what she did wasn't only because she was starving, she also did it for prooving she was no chicken! Anyways it's the same she shouldn't had steal at all. Also she stealed an unecessary quantity of apples. She wouldn't eat a dozen at once. They also left the farmer with less apples to sell and gained a bad reputation. Even though Liesel and Rudy don't have a good home where they can have food for and caring people for them. They should prefer starving from stealing because by stealing you hurt other people, and no matter what you feel during life times because you will have your reward in heaven. And people who steal or have stealed will be punished.

prediction about Liesel **)

My prediction for Chapter 1-2 is:)
Liesel will love her new foster parents and they will love her as well. They will become a united family that protects each other. She will feel like Hans is her real dad because she had never felt what is like to have a dad and he cares a lot about her.Liesel will be given a book by Hans and his wife. Liesel will someday be captured by Adolf Hitler and she will do the same that happened in her dream at the train. Liesle´s mom will die and she will learn to love Rosa as much as she did to her mother.

Question 2 ;)^^)

Recently in the reading we have seen that Anita has had to spend a large amount of time living in a closet. What effects do you think living in a closet have had on Anita. What effects would they have on you? Why do you think you would have these effects? Would there be other effects that maybe unforeseen? Can you think of any other examples in history or other stories that have a similar thing happen?
If I would spend as much time as Anita in a closet I think I would had become depressed I wouldn´t know what to do. I would feel bad about myself and would wonder why this has happened to me. And I would always want talk and be with someone because of not I would get ver very very bored. Because I would be lonely just with my mom and won´t have anything to do, but read. And having such a scarce food and not what I want. Also not having any entertainment, but write in my diary. I think that would happen then, is that I would become Claustrophobic for being there such a long time in cautivity like a caged bird. I think the situation of Anita is similar as in the world wars because you wouldn´t know wehter you were safe or not. And you couldn´t get out of home because you would be scared of what would had happened to you.
