    She put her fingers, which still had most of the glue on nails upon them, though his short brown hair atop his head. He copied her action by taking one of his brawny hands and petted her wig. The wig was synthetic, but felt pretty real to Johnny. Much of their anxieties about each other were subsiding after the previous night’s release. He had awoken even more when he said, “I’m gonna’ make us some coffee, and we’ll sit out on the balcony in our white robes.” She loved that he was still attentive to her even after they had made love; she kind of knew he would be from all of the signs he had given her over the past few weeks. Johnny was her first Southern man, and she really was beginning to get a good picture of the kind of men they spawned down there. While the coffee was percolating, Clarissa ran into the bathroom to freshen up a bit with her makeup bag/purse. She looked into the mirror for a few moments and truly felt as though she was dreaming…that all this could not be real! She quickly came to after her pondering in the mirror to only then fix and adjust her synthetic…

    announcement publicly tomorrow as I hope this is our last meeting. Goodbye Ashe.” Not knowing what to say, I gaped at her. I couldn’t help the shock that ran through me. A couple of times she had joked about disowning me, but now that it was happening, everything suddenly felt surreal. Not even bothering to say goodbye, I turned on my heels and walked out, anger blocking out any thoughts of sympathy or melancholy. Since I had moved out as soon as I was old enough to, there really wasn’t…

    The night air had been hot and thick around them, it was a summer's night, and the moon shone brightly above. The both of them had been standing on the balcony together, lively. It was a few nights before the incident, Lumière and Cogsworth were both fifteen. Correction, Lumière was fifteen, Cogsworth was on the cusp of being sixteen.

    There are many parts from West Side Story that were exactly alike or almost the same from the famous Shakespearean book, especially the balcony scene. The first way Romeo and Juliet influenced West Side Story was by the characters. The two main characters were Romeo and Juliet in one story, a boy and a girl who fell in love at first sight. From the other, it was Tony and Maria who also fell in love at first sight. Tony was like Romeo, while Maria was like Juliet. From both stories they were…

    Description Antoni Gaudí’s Casa Batlló was built between 1904 and 1906 on Passeig de Grácia in Barcelona, Spain.

The balconies made me think of skulls, with the ovals…

    In the Zeffirelli’s version Romeo is using the bushes to hide from Juliet and the nurse. When Romeo has the guts to speak out to Juliet in this version it startles her that he is there. When they start talking Romeo uses the tree right by the balcony to climb up to get to the ledge that is on the side of the balcony to hug and kiss Juliet. The reason Romeo got up to this level to find Juliet talking to herself about loving him he just wanted to get away from his friends that were calling his…
