ROMEO & JULIET

The film and the original novel of Romeo and Juliet has very diferences.



Question 1. SETTING: Places Where does the classical play and the new version take place? Example: Verona vs Verona Beach . Where are they? Which century?

Verona isn't the place that show us the film. Verona isn't a modern city like New York and hasn't bigs skyscrapers.
Verona (Italy) in the XVI century, and the new version takes place in Verona Beach (USA) in the XX century (1996).

Question 2.. IMAGERY: metaphors & images :
WATER (swimming pool, beach, aquarium...) and FIRE (petrol station, fights...)
DAY and NIGHT, the MOON. What do they mean?

The water represents love (when romeo and juliet play in the pool of juliet house) and the fire is the hate (when capulet and montague are fighting in the gas station). 

Question 3.. LANGUAGE. Which characters speak in verse and which in prose? Who is the narrator?

In the book all the characters speak in verse. In the movie except secundary characters that aren't very important all speak in verse too because most of what they say are from of the original novel.

Question 4. THE FANCY DRESS PARTY.What's the role of the costumes?

When They are dressed for the dance, the costumes of Romeo and Juliet attract me. Juliet was dressed with an angel costume (innocent, kind, poor) and Romeo like a knight (strong, brave...). More or less the costumes represent the personality of the character.

Question 5. ELEMENTS. To make the new version, basic elements have been changed. Example: swords for gun

In the movie all is adapted for the actuallity and are more diferences respect to the original novel, but in essence are the same. So now I don't remember much diferences... the places, clothes, weapons, etc.


Question 6. Other differences of the classical version and the film version
The city of original novel and the city of the movie, this is very diferent. The city of the movie are more action: police, helicopter, guns, gas station, etc.

PHOTO OF ITALY

In this picture we are some of my friends in the journey of Italy, in Siena. We are in Piazza del Campo. I like this picture because is a moment that i don't wanna forget. Is the final journey, with all 4ESO and is a special and unique memory.

The people that we can see are: 

Background: a man that is stranger for me, Paula Caball (with the hand in his mouth), Mar Oliva (with her sunglasses), Paula Valenzuela (blonde and with her sunglasses too) and me (Nerea Hernández, eating icecram).

Between the background and the foreground: Mireya Sánchez (we can't see her because Maria is in front of her), Natalia Palma (is with the mobile and the sunglasses in his head), Maria Jallow (is the girl of the normal glasses), Raquel Comas (she's like angry) and Carlota Nordfeldt (she's smiling and have a normal glasses).

Foreground: Judith Carpio (is the most person that are in the front), Deborah Heide (the girl of the peace simbol).

ITALY (my world)

We were in Italy two weeks ago. It was a school trip of the level 4rt ESO. We were in Italy for six days, we went in plane and we came back in boat. We went to:

- Bologna: The day that we arrived, we went to Bologna, here we visited Pisa and we take the typical photo.
- Firenze: It was the second day and we visited much of the monuments of Firenze. Il Duomo Florence was the best thing for me. After we have a free time and we can go to shopping, etc.
- Siena: It isn't a place very big, we visit his monuments, etc.
- Roma: We were the rest of the days. We visit Il Vaticano, Il Colisseu, restaurants, etc.

In the boat for the back to Castelló d'Empúries We went to the disco and we met a lot of people. It wasvery funny, but some people was very dizzy and they threw up.

It was a journey very exciting and special.
