Welcome to my Blog!

Hi there, my names Julia Chiaramonte, and this blog is for my grade 11 English ISP.  I'm 16 years old and go to Bishop Allen Academy. This blog will focus on the most important theme throughout our course. The theme that I believe is the most evident is that love is good, and will be exploring this over the next month. Feel free to check out and comment on any of my posts!

A Midsummer Night's Dream- Summary

Image
This is my summary of William Shakespeare's  A Midsummer Night's Dream,  for those who have not yet read the play. A Midsummer Night's Dream  takes place in Athen's. The duke of Athens, Theseus, and the Queen of the Amazons, Hippolyta, are getting married in a few days. The whole region is excited and preparing for the wedding. Egeus, a nobleman, enters the room with his daughter, Hermia, Lysander, her lover, and Demetrius. Egeus is upset that Hermia refuses to marry Demetrius, despite her father's request. In their time, the daughter had to follow her father's orders. Theseus says that Hermia has to marry Demetrius, or become a nun. Lysander tries to convince Theseus to let him marry her, but it does not work.

Letter to the Editor

Julia Chiaramonte Ye Letter to the Editor Dear Mr. Cavendish, In regard to thy latest comments concerning mine play, I am saddened to learn that thee didst not enjoy A Midsummer Night’s Dream . Audibly, an artless, fool-born lout like thee wouldst not understand such a performance. Now please, taketh the time to read what I has’t to say, and perhaps thee wilt understand mine work.

The play performed by the mechanics is not meant to offend anyone watching. T giveth a break from the drama befall, which is apart of mine creativity.

Essay- Betrayal and Redemption

Julia Chiaramonte Mr. Freitas ENG3U1-13 23 July 2018 Betrayal and Redemption in The Kite Runner There are many evident themes throughout Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner that make the story powerful and meaningful. However, betrayal and redemption is the theme that impacts and influences the characters the most.  Amir puts other through pain so he can feel accepted, but it just leaves him feeling guilty. Baba keeps secrets from his family that end up hurting himself, and his loved ones. Sanaubar makes mistakes that seem like the right choice at the time, but she ends up regretting them. All of these characters make mistakes when they are young, and do not realize right from wrong. Eventually, they realize what they have done, and try everything to make it right. This plays a major part in the way that the decisions they make, and without these problems, there would be no plot to the story, therefore betrayal and redemption is the most important theme in this book.
