Advice letter to a character from Romeo and Juliet-

I would like to give some advice to Romeo because he is the reason all this mayhem is happening. He was the result of the death of one of his friends and we don't clearly understand if Romeo likes Juliet from the heart. The advice I'd like to give Romeo is to ignore and avoid Juliet even though that may be hard. Both of their families are enemys and the last thing he wants to do marry a person from that family. Love at first glance is more lust that love and that is considered a sin. Even if Juliet is pretty, Romeo should've understood that every thing has a consequence that might put him at risk. Romeo was too determined to marry Juliet that one of his friends got killed.

Dear Romeo


     I would like to give you some advice, you will probably ignore this because you are too determined to marry Juliet. Look at you guys, you're from a good peaceful family and Juliet's family is your enemy. You should think about the consequences before marrying Juliet. Your friend put a curse on your houses and you killed Juliet's cousin. I feel like banishing you was unfair because Juliet's cousin killed your friend. The laws in your city are pretty fed up. One thing you can do if find an another girl because, being with Juliet may have consequences you don't want to deal with. You don't have to completely forget Juliet, but try thinking about the issues you might have coming at you.

     You and Juliet's family should sign a treaty to declare peace for both of your families . I don't see the exact reason you guys fight, there's literally no point of fighting to show who's boss. If your family lives in peace with Juliet's family then you have some good luck coming your way. For now, Juliet is a cat disguised in a dog's body. She's unpredictable, if she loves you then you should love her back and avoid any conflicts. There's no point of fighting, violence is stupid and I think it's sad how it's affecting your life. My main advice is to have peace with both houses to avoid mayhem and other issues that are likely to come up.

This blog post will be on Grasshopper Jungle by Andrew Smith. I will be discussing the themes and topics the author wants us to know about. There is no correct theme or topic but we can always make it up. Not all books have lessons but most lessons can be learned from books. Grasshopper Jungle is basically about 3 friends who need to defeat giant 6 foot praying mantis before they take over, People basically turn into giant praying mantis and keep reproducing. I am not giving any spoilers, you will find most of this information on the summary of this book. Austin is the main character who is going to reverse the praying mantis problem.

I would recommend reading Grasshopper Jungle first before reading this blog post because it may have a few spoilers without spoiling thee whole book. I enjoyed reading Grasshopper Jungle because of the humor in the book and the adventurous setting. This book is mainly a thriller but more of an adventure to stop a disease. This book is not recommended for anyone below 13 years of age due to the language and topics that come up. In my point of view, I think Grasshopper Jungle has a really unfinished ending making me think that there are more than one book in the series.

I think the message of this book is not to mess around with something you don't know about. The grasshopper issue started when Austin and his friends found some weird objects in a weird room that had information on praying mantis armies. It is unknown how the praying mantis disease spread but there can be more that one explanation. I think the disease spreads in mid air, it is impossible to literally spread a disease to millions of different people by doing absolutely nothing. The main theme of this book is to not to mess around with stuff you don't know about and to try no matter what. You can always take action for things that are affecting you.

Book: Diary of  a wimpy kid: Hard luck 

     This blog post is a review of diary of a wimpy kid hard luck. This will contain some spoilers so I would recommend reading Diary of a wimpy kid hard luck before reading this blog post. The diary of a wimpy kid series is really fun so you wont have to worry about how the book is going to be, That's just my opinion. Any picture book or comic is fun to read and diary of a wimpy kid is no different. Don't worry about wasting your time because these books are pretty short and fun. I will be reviewing diary of a wimpy kid hard luck because it is far most the best book I ever read.

     Diary of a wimpy kid is a fun book to read and it's more entertaining than time consuming. In diary of a wimpy kid hard luck there are a lot of lessons to be learned. The story starts with Greg having trouble making friends which is pretty obvious because Rowley stopped hanging out with Greg. I learned that when something weird happens, it never stays for example ''it may be weird to see Rowley with a girl". Sometimes weird things happen for weird reasons and it's a person's job to beware of that. Life isn't always simple as money raining on you.


     I also recognized that Greg is having trouble with his family. Greg feels annoyed sometimes, I like how Greg sees the world in a different perspective, he's not weird like the kids around him. By reading this book I learned that weird things don't just happen. I also learned that taking things negatively can result in negativity. Greg sees the world as an annoying place and he finds his family to be quite annoying but he would've not had so much bad luck if he saw the world in a positive view. Diary of a wimpy kid sometimes teaches more lessons than it shows entertainment.


     Jeff Kinney made ''Diary of a wimpy kid'' an entertaining book which made it fun to read. Books are not always about the level you're on, sometimes it's about the entertainment or lessons you learn. This Blogpost was 'hopefully' not a spoiler ,and if you're thinking about reading a fun book in your free time or reserved time, read Diary of a wimpy kid. I really like how Jeff Kinney turned Diary of a wimpy kid into a series, once you're done with the first book; you just want to read on and on! I also like reading books in series such as Diary of a wimpy kid and Lightning thief because one book just isn't enough. I could barely sleep at night thinking that there is an another book in the series, you never know when something surprising happens; take Star Wars as an example.
