Blog Assignment 3- Political Judgement

Welcome to the May Keno Show!

*Applause*

May- Hello, we are here today with Marcus Brutus along with Cassius. Now let's get down to buisness. Okay boys just let us know why? Why have you murdered such a great mind and leader?

Brutus- As I have said continuously, he was ambitious! Anyone who knows me, knows that I loved Caesar very, very much! I did it for our country, and fellow Romans should respect that.

Cassius- If anyone doubts us it doesn't matter because we did what we could and if we didn't, all of you would suffer later.

May- Who gave you the right?

Cassius- No one needs to give us the right, we know that we did the right thing for fellow everyone.

Brutus- You may doubt us, but we knew what the final result would have been. i'd rather not be a Roman, if i had to live through that.

May- So you think you will be able to handle the situation with mark Antony leading your enemies?

Brutus- We can, we did justice to this country, and some people cannot see past Caesar's wounds,to see what is right.

Cassius- We have our troops ready and we will win!

May- Why did you allow Mark Antony to do speak at Caesar's Funeral?

Brutus- Antony was really close to Caesar, he worshiped Caesar,

 so I thought he deserved that chance.

May- Do you regeret that choice now?

Cassius- Oh no! Not at all!(Cassius eyes Brutus)

May- Thank-you very much for making an appearance on our show, have a lovely day!

*Applause*

Blog Assignment 2- CP 20 Rome

This is city news at six! With Sonny Raines!

There is a lot of fright in the city tonight! Many Romans have seen something unusual outside.

It has been reported that both men and woman have been walking up and down the street on fire! That's right, they either have there hand on fire, leg or even their whole body! Talk about, burning up!

People are wondering is this a message from the gods? Who is the one annoying them? Or are they playing blackjack again and Zeus lost? (Chuckles)

This just in! There's a... a what? OMG! There's lion "romeing" the streets of Rome, get it Rome-ing!(Wipes tear from his eye) I really know how to crack myself up! Oh man! Anyways back to the report.

Yes, it has been reported that a lion, it is belived to be a african lion, is wandering down Via Pontina. But although lions are known to be vicous, these lions just dont seem to really care. So leave your swords and daggers at home people!

But it all comes down to one thing. Are the gods angry at us or is there another possible explantion?(Thinks hard)

Anyways, thats it for tonight folks i'll see you later! This is Sonny Raines reporting live from Via Luigi Chiarini, Rome!

Silent Reading Log Part. 1

1)   The author is Sophie Kinsella. Sophie Kinsella is a former financial journalist and the author of  many books. She lives in England. She has written "The Confessions of a Shopaholic" series, which is a total of 5 books and the first book was made into a movie. She has also written many other books for girls which would probably classified as "girly".

2)     So, basically this book is about a shopohlic(duh!) named Rebecca Bloomwood, who lives in Manhattan,New York, (She moved here from Oxshott, London). She is married to Luke Brandon, Head of Brandon Communication(A PR comapay). They are having a great life so far, and then they discover that Rebecca is pregnant and get really excited. Rebecca goes all out and buys brand name baby clothes,first-aid kits, and even 5 prams/strollers! Rebecca's angry that she has to go to some dumb doctor, who is a 50 years old, and really clumsy. The only reason Rebecca agreed was because, he was the doctor that Luke's mom had when she gave birth to Luke birth to Luke. Then Rebecca reads about a famous doctor that gives births to all the hottest celebrities' babies! Rebecca wants that doctor no matter what she does! So she discusses it with Luke. He disagrees at first, but Rebecca finally convinces him she has the persuasive quality in her. So when they go for an appointment, they find out that Dr. Carter(the new doctor), is none other than Luke's long-time ex. girfriend. Luke and Venetia (Dr.carter) are getting close again and remembering the "old times!". Rebecca's trying not to feel threatened or jelous but, come on Venetia is gorgeous, witty and really nice...yes and thats all I have read so far!
3) The setting is the busiest place is one of the busiest places in New York. I am certain that, this is a modern story somewhere between 2005-present day. The atmosphere is busy, but fun. Hectic but entertaining. Either way some people like the hustle and bustle but some people don't. But you can except to see a lot of celebrities, food and of course the famous yellow cabs.
4) I'm picking the protangonist- Rebecca Brandon. The two qualities she has are being a dreamer and being addictive (to stores). There's when line that she says that I love it describes that she is in some magical place  where everything is perfect(so she's a dreamer!). When I was 7 most of my friends stopped believing in magic. That's when I first started. They were beautiful, they were happy. They didn't even need any money, they had magic cards! The other one that she's addictive to stores, in fact she loves them more than people(obviously, she's a shopahlic!). You know that thing when you see someone cute and he smiles and your heart kind of goes like warm butter sliding down hot toast? Well that's what it's like when I see a store. Only it's better. A man will never love you or treat you as well as a store. If a man doesn't fit, you can't exchange him seven days later for a gorgeous cashmere sweater. And a store always smells good. A store can awaken a lust for things you never even knew you needed. And when your fingers first grasp those shiny, new bags... oh yes... oh yes.

5) I love this book! Well not nessecarily just this book but the series if u like chick lit comedy it's pretty funny! The book is hard to put down because the authors style of writing, she always keeps you hanging. I'm not trying to ruin the stories for anyone who hasn't read them but there's always a guaranteed happy ending!
