Romeo and Juliet

Over the last few weeks my class was reading Romeo and Juliet, a romantic tragedy that argues family feuds or true love.

 

My opinion about his play is that it was amazing. I really enjoyed the plots and the scenes that took place. I also loved the characters and how everything flowed together. One thing I didn't like was how Romeo feel in love with the next person that he saw; which is one of the reasons why I think that their love was fake and not real because right after Rosaline dumped him he saw Juliet and loved her.

This play was based in Verona between the Capulet's and the Montague's but, Romeo was banished to Mantua.

The tale of Romeo and Juliet is that two families were fighting (Capulet's and Montague's) and Romeo, a Montague, falls in love with Juliet, a Capulet. Their love was so strong that they had to kill themselves to be together because of their families. Juliet was going to wed Paris, one of the Capulet's friends. But, a twisted turn of events came and they both ended up killing themselves for true love! WOW!

Stars:

I gave Romeo and Juliet a 5 out of 5 because over all, it was awsome! Every little part was so well written and I loved it!

Our Relatives?

Chimpanzees, a mokey right? When we think of these outrages animal we think exactly that, just a stupid animal without a brain. Well a resent study from Nonhuman Rights Project, Steven M. Wise states that these animals have the same rights as a "legal person". Isnt that crazy? These animals technically have somewhat of the same rights as us!
The New York Supreme Court will decide in the next few upcoming weeks whether a chimpanzee kept in captivity should have these legal rights. Now, what this doesn't mean is that they can drive, or have money, or rome around the streets; it means that they shouldn't be caged or beat. Why is this? Well, because since these chimps are so relatively close to humans they deserve these rights.

 

 

 

If you look to see the picture above you cant see how humans and these chimpanzees are so similar. It's not only our body shapes and sizes but, how we care for our young, eat, live, our feelings, behavior, brain etc. There are many more reasons and scientific facts towards these facts.

The court will consider a suit filed by a group of activists who are representing four chimpanzees, CNN reported on Tuesday. The group is asking that the state award them the "right to bodily liberty."
"Not long ago, people generally agreed that human slaves could not be legal persons, but were simply the property of their owners," Wise stated. "We will assert, based on clear scientific evidence, that it's time to take the next step and recognize that these nonhuman animals cannot continue to be exploited as the property of their human 'owners.'"

What this is stating is that basically we can't cage our "own" kind. According to  Joyce Tischler, co-founder of the Animal Legal Defense Fund, wrote to CNN, a "legal person" isn't necessarily defined as a human being.
