Romeo and Juliet Act 5 Scene 3, (Revised)



      The original play is like this:

In this scene,  the final scene of Romeo and Juliet,  action begins with Paris and his page arriving in the churchyard outside of the Capulet tomb.  Paris wants some time to grieve Juliet's death, and he asks his page to hide and whistle if he sees anyone coming to disturb his solitude.  While Paris is praying to Juliet, he hears his page whistle.  The page has seen Romeo and Balthazar approaching.  Romeo gives Balthazar a letter to give to his father the following morning, and tells him that he will enter the tomb to retrieve a precious ring of his lady's.  Romeo asks Balthazar to leave and warns him not to be nosy for fear of punishment.  Balthazar agrees, and Romeo gives him money in thanks as he proceeds alone.  However, Balthazar decides to hide and wait just in case.
    Romeo begins to open the tomb as Paris watches from his hiding place.  Paris, angered by Romeo's apparent defacing of the tomb, comes forward in challenge.  Romeo begs Paris to not be angry and to leave him alone, but Paris is too upset to back down.  They fight, and Romeo is the victor.  Paris, fatally wounded, begs to be placed in the tomb with Juliet.  Romeo realizes who Paris is and promises to bury him in the tomb, which he does.  He goes to Juliet in the tomb and grieves for her once more, and finally, in the throes of sorrow, he drinks his deadly potion after stealing one last kiss.  As he dies, the Friar Laurence arrives in the churchyard and meets Balthazar   Balthazar tells the Friar that Romeo is in the tomb, and the Friar hurries to right the situation.
    As Friar Laurence enters the tomb,  he sees Paris and Romeo dead as he notices Juliet awakening.  Juliet asks for Romeo and the Friar sadly tells her that not only is her husband dead, but Paris as well.  He asks her to leave with him, but Juliet does not go.  She kisses Romeo's still warm lips and stabs herself with her beloved's dagger.  Meanwhile, outside the tomb, all present are held to wait for the Prince to arrive.  The Prince arrives just before the Capulets and Montagues.  The Capulets are told that their daughter, once dead, was again warm and yet dead again, which destroys the man and his wife.  Montague tells of his wife's death that evening as he arrives, which was due to her grief over Romeo's exile.  When he learns of his son's death, he can only feel angry that his son would reach the grave before he. 
    The Friar goes before the Prince and explains the whole story from beginning to end.  Balthazar confirms the story and presents Romeo's letter to the Prince. The Prince finds Romeo's letter to confirm the Friar's words, and he speaks harshly to the Montagues and Capulets.  Because of their hatred toward each other, they have sacrificed their most beloved.  The two families realize their wrong-doings, and  join hands as they grieve.  The Prince concludes the story by commenting on how high a price has been paid for peace in Verona.


 The original version states that romeo and juliet both died because of love at the same time because of their timely deaths both kingdoms grieved of their lost and realized it was their wrong doings that did this. But I think I have some good ideas for my own version.
  The original will be always the best one, but in my opinion I have some changes. Paris and his page arriving in the churchyard outside of the Capulet tomb.  Paris wants some time to grieve Juliet's death, and he asks his page to hide and whistle if he sees anyone coming to disturb his solitude.  While Paris is praying to Juliet, he hears his page whistle.  The page has seen Romeo and Balthazar approaching.  Romeo gives Balthazar a letter to give to his father the following morning, and tells him that he will enter the tomb to retrieve a precious ring of his lady's.  Romeo asks Balthazar to leave and warns him not to be nosy for fear of punishment.  Balthazar agrees, and Romeo gives him money in thanks as he proceeds alone.  However, Balthazar decides to hide and wait just in case. 
    Romeo begins to open the tomb as Paris watches from his hiding place.  Paris, angered by Romeo's apparent defacing of the tomb, comes forward in challenge.  Romeo begs Paris to not be angry and to leave him alone, but Paris is too upset to back down.  They fight, and Romeo is the victor.  Paris, fatally wounded, begs to be placed in the tomb with Juliet.  Romeo realizes who Paris is and promises to bury him in the tomb, which he does.  He goes to Juliet in the tomb and grieves for her once more, as he was about to drink the poison Friar Lawrence arrives just in time to stop him. He then explains things but Romeo thinks that Friar Lawrence  tried to kill Juliet. But Juliet woke and explained to Romeo what really happened and understood it. They got back to Verona and explains all to kingdoms they had a grand meeting. They are given the chance to speak, that there is no need for war. It only leads to millions of innocents dying and bloodshed. When it comes to war nobody wins in the end. So the two heads of Verona make a truce and everybody celebrates for a week along with the marriage of Romeo and Juliet.
 
  My version is typically normal and simple, but I was right in one thing, nobody wins a war, there will be only surviving or dying. But not literally someone wins a war what it means if you win the war, but may of innocents died because of it and a life is priceless. This version also has a happy ending, but in real life sadly there no happy endings.

The Best Father in the World


The Best Father in the World

     Superman, can lift things beyond his weight, Thor, a god and call the power of thunder, aqua man can breathe underwater and can contact sea dwelling creatures. All of these people are just fiction and are really cool, but there is one man that out tops them the most, that is my father. He may not have powers but he had a hard life and got through it and now he is supporting us for a bright future. To brighten up his life here is his past up to the present.

     My father was born in April 18, 1966, in the province of Kalibo, Aklan. He lived a hard life because of their poor life. He managed to finish elementary along with his three other brothers and his high school years were pretty not that bad. He live with his mother and father, but sadly I did not got the chance to meet my grandpa because he died when I was not yet in this world. After high school he went to college to finish his and get a job. bu he did not finish it so he got a job as a pump man in some shipping company. While in his work he managed to meet Daddy Dennis. They became really good friends in-spite of their large age gap. He was like a second captain in charge of the ship. He was also the one to introduce my mother to my father. which I dearly thanks him for. Unfortunately this past 2012 he died because of cancer and I give my respect to him. So my got to meet each other because of him, and after a few weeks they got in love and eventually got married. My father was really working hard at the time because he he had to expect a family and needed money to support us. He has been working non stop for about 15 years up to now to support us and our needs. He is a kind and decent man and wont take violence as an answer, but when he has to he will. He deals with things simply like. when you have to do this, then he agrees, but in my opinion my father is more gentle than my mother. We sometimes go to his hometown Aklan to spend our vacation there, and one time we got to spend one week in Boracay. He wants us to study hard and be more better than he is now, he is really humble. But sometime we get him mad and he gets disappointed, but he talks to us how to deal with it. It is like I am afraid of three things in this world, God, my Dad, and clowns. But he really does care for us and loves us so much as much as we love him.

   To honor his years he gave us, we will celebrate this fathers day. In respect to my awesome dad and thank the all mighty Lord for bringing our Dad to us. We love always from the start to the end. I will continue to study hard to have a bright future for us. I really hope you and mom can live for a thousand years but we don't have to expect that, because the time you spent with us feels like thousand years already. You do not have super powers to be my greatest dad and hero.

The Man who Dreamt Big


                                                              The Man Who Dreamt Big
 

 Everyone has their own goals to achieve, dreams to make a reality and difficulties to conquer, just like me. In this world you have to make your own dreams come true without anyones help, beacuse you have to achieve on your own doings. That is how the second most awesome guy in the world achieved his dream.

  Besides my Dad for being my number one inspiration, I have other me who achieved greath lengths to realize their dreams. That man is Adam Copeland, one of the legendary man in my opinion besides my dad. He was born in October 3, 1973 in Ontario Canada. As many great persons he started out small, when I mean small, really small. He was the smallest in his class and would often be bullied or picked on. He also was not great  at sports, but was really smart and clever, but not really of a strong type. He worked up and played his very first game of hockey. He grew up to met Christian and instantly they became friends, protecting each other from bullies, being the class clowns. They eventually went to school in the 1990's, that is where it all started. He saw Hulk Hogan live, he was amazed to see his performance and something went in his mind, he wanted to be like him, being cheered by a crowd, the challenge and the triumph. He got crazed on becoming a wrestler, and he also influenced Christian to. He was likely voted to be "Most Likely toWin WWF Championship" in his class. In his senior years he predicted that he would become WWE Champion after 13 years, and suprisingly he did. In the age of 16 he started as a rookie with Christian in local wrestling groups, then they made their first debut in WWF in 1998 as the vampire brothers together with Van Venis. They would again be picked on by stronger superstars in the locker room but they never gave up to become on top which they did by winning the WWF Unified Tag Team Champions. They would again take their hilarious antics on their business like the five secong photoshoot and making fun of others. But shortly after they went to their seperate ways. But this did not affect edge he got better and won more achievements from being Mr. Money in the Bank and King of the Ring. Trough his sussecion he had won championships rom WWE to WHC and had legendary feuds with the likes of Shawn Michaels, John Cena and Undertaker. He had a succesful 13 years in WWE even though he had severe injuries like dislocations, fractures and even a broken neck. He succeded so much but sadly he retired.

  After his 13 years he finally had his last match at Wrestlemania 27. On April 12, 2011 he made a shocking anouncement of his retirement due to his broken neck. The WWE Universe even me went emotional as a legend would retire. He then would go to the people on the ring and say thank you for all of the support. He would then hugged his mom, while the crowd chanted "Thank You Edge!!!". He got to the point that he cried also.

  So afterwards he was inducted to the WWE Hall of Fame 2012, I was proud of him. So this is his story from bottom to top. Whatever anyone says that wrestling is fake, I dont care beacuse that was not acting when he cried, that was pure emotion coming out for his love of his carreer, achievement, and the WWE Universe. I belive in him that is why he is one of my inspiration that to never give and to always trive to rise to the top, and to love the people around you. Thank you edge for your 13 years and beind my second inspiration in my life. I would also predict that someday I would also help and make people happy.
