why do dreams fail

Dreams fail because they aren’t reality. Most of the times in life things don’t work out the way there supposed too. Its rare that someone actually achieves all there dreams though. I find it annoying because kids are taught to always chase what they believe in. But in the end it never really happens that way. In the book for example, since it’s a tragedy we know that Lennie and George aren’t going to be able to buy their farm. In Romeo and Juliet their dream of being together without being in secret obviously didn’t happen. Those are just two books. But basically in every book there is something that someone wants never happens. That because that’s the way life is. Even im starting to learn that things don’t work out the way the are supposed to ! And it really does suck. But hteres nothing you can do about it. Its always a healthy and good thing to have dreams on what you want in life, but you gotta learn early that its most likely not gonna happen.

What is a friend ?

A friend is someone that you can rely on. That you can have fun with. Someone that will be there for you. A true friend wont go tell your secrets either, and theyll be there for you to talk to you when you are upset. Also its someone that you want to spend time with. What else are you supposed to do on weekends? I dont even know how you could live without any friends. Im pretty sure you would go insane if you never had anyone to talk to. Its also healthy to let out your problens to someone. But you just have to make sure that its someone you can trust. A true friend likes you for who you are, not what you have. I personally have been in relationships where it was a true one. And it reallly does get to you. The definition of a friend - a person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection, typically exclusive of sexual or family relations. I also feel like many relationships are sterotypical. Its good to have friends of opposite genders. But a lot of people need to learn that just because there friends, doesnt mean they're more than friends. I find it annoying that a lot of the community sterotypes that. I think that wihtouht friends this world would be crazy.

" In todays world , men treat women more as equals than objects " This is one statmenet I do not agree with at all. If you would have asked me this before Janurary then I might would of had to agree with it, but now since my J-term I truely believe that that is a false statement. In this age men dominate women. To some men, women are nothing but objects, who get beat around, verbally or physcially, or even sexually assaulted. You dont hear about a woman putting rufies in some guys drink. You also dont hear about a woman raping a guy. Actually 99 % of rapers behind bars are men. Also woman are sexualized with everything. Ads, movies, books, basically everything. Also say a girl had sex with a boy, a girl would be called a whore, or a slut, but a man would be praised by his buds. I remember this one story we read about how a girl got raped by a whole footbal team, and a baseball bat was shoved up her in front of all these guys. Its because of stories like that that i feel like men and women still are not equal today. Sure a woman president ran for president but did she win ? Nope. Its always been like this, men over women, I personally dont think that it will change anytime soon.

ROMAYO AND JULIET REFLECTION

1. “Love and insight is better than love at first sight.” Do you agree or disagree? Why?
I totally agree with this quote. How can you love someone if you dont even know who they are? You automaticallly think your love with them at first sight, meaning that its basically a physical connection, and thats not what love is all about. Insight, meaning you acutally know who your loved one is, and you guys are practically best friends. To me thats love and i just dont know how a relationship could even work out if you didnt know them, meaning insight is way better than love at first sight.

2.Was it right for Romeo and Juliet to kill themselves because of their love for each other? Why or why not
I think that both of them killing themselves was the dumbest thing I ever read. They barely even knew eachtoher, and they were head over heels for each other. they got married the day after they met. Thats just crazy. And then when romeo gets banished they both think that its the end of the world, and they dont know what to do. I didnt mind it so much that Juliet poisoned herself, because she was jsut doing it so her life wouldnt get messed up. But romeo blew eveything out of proportion when he decided to kill himself when he thought that Juliet was dead. They both comitted suicide, because they just wanted to be toghether. I wouldn't even do that. I would live my life first.

3.Would you have lied to your whole family if you were in Juliet’s position? Why or why not?
If I was Juliet I wouldnt have lied. Honostly if my family cant like accept me or who I supposedly love i would just leave. Its there problem not mine. So i think that even though Romeo was a Montague, if Juliet just would have told her parents than maybe they wouldnt have forced her to marry Paris, which then resulted in the death of everyone.

4.Why does Juliet kill herself when she could be free?
I dont know why Juliet did this, she is so stupid. Like who doesnt think to just run off with Romeo ? He's already banished, and if she went with him they would both avoid the wrath of there families. Also she would have been able to avoid marrying Paris. Romeo and Juliet could have lived there lives happily, no disturbances, had SEXY KIDS :) but no Juliets a dumb ass and tried to solve evrything by pretending to kill herself.

5. How would you feel if you were one of the parents in one of these families after all this happened
If i was the parent of romeo or Juliet. I would feel so horrible. I would definetly end the feud, then. I mean they both just lost there kid because they were afraid to tell there parents that they were in love. Basically its the parents fault because the kids knew if they told they're parents theywouldnt accept there marriage, and then htey wouldnt know what to do with themselves. if this happened I peersonally would feel like it was my fault that my kids decided to do this. But that wont happen, because if one of my kids is happy, Im gooing to be happy. ! :)
