Dear
Jaqueline;
Q: It appears as though I've fallen in
love with a woman who has no mutual feelings. How should I respond to
this situation?
~Hopeless Romeo
A:
Dear Hopeless Romeo;
I
suggest you talk to her. This is not an uncommon thing really. Most girls are
complicated to understand. This relationship of yours is a more-than-friendship
occurrence though. If you've already
gone about doing this, then I would look for someone new, for women get annoyed
if you continue to aggravate them.
You'll find the right girl eventually, trust me. Just be a little bit more social.
Dear
Jaqueline;
Q:
My father is a stubborn jerk. He
constantly tries to force me into a marriage.
The man loves me, but I'd rather marry a donkey than this guy. He's supposedly this wondrous creature, but I
think he's revolting, more so on the inside than out. Also, I'm already tied down with another man,
but my parents do not know this. What
should I do?
~Confused,
Juliet
A: Dear Confused Juliet;
You should talk with your father and make him realize that
you do not want to marry this guy. Tell him that you have found someone you
love and care about greatly. As for the man who loves you, try to ignore him as
much as possible. Try not to make any contact with him, for your father will
then see that you honestly don’t like the guy. I am sure your father will
understand sooner or later that the guy he has arranged marriage with for you,
is not the perfect guy for you.

Romeo and Juliet
By Jaqueline Valadez Edited by Sofia Garcia
Something
strange has happened in Verona, a Capulet and a Montague fell in love. Their
love was hidden, but they were in too deep. The two enemies got to the point of
getting married. So many innocent lives were taken away, just for an innocent
love. Everything was going fine, until the brilliant Friar Lawrence came along.
Rumor has it; he was behind all of the killing.
If
it weren’t for Friar, perhaps the lovers would be alive. On the positive side,
Juliet would have married Paris, the one she doesn’t love. In meaning of all of
this, we can’t fully blame Friar. The parents are the ones who should feel the
most guilt. The Nurse is the one we should thank, for sticking up for true
love, no matter the consequences.
The most romantic part of their love
story was that they took each other’s lives for their never-ending love. Romeo
and Juliet would have never been able to live without one another. If only
Romeo had never taken the poison, he would have been happily married with
Juliet. Unfortunately, as everyone knows, Romeo was a love sick person.
However, he finally met the one, Juliet, his only enemy. Although he didn’t
know, his eyes fell on her and instantly fell in love.

The Capulets and the Montagues are prohibited to fight on the
streets of Verona by Prince Escalus.
I |
It has been said that the Montague and Capulet families
have had an ancient grudge, but no one knows what it is. All they know is that
they are forever enemies. Recently it has been heard that the Capulet and
Montague servants restart the families’ ancient grudge after they were told not
to fight a few months back. Some witnesses report that it all started with
insulting each other over meaningless things. Lord Montague hears the racket
comes out and attacks and it’s not long before Capulet hears it too. They fight
for long minutes. More people come armed, but when they see it’s the Capulets
and Montagues they stop and threaten them because Benvolio tells every detail
from beginning to the very end. No one knows when this will end. Well it ever
end? Keep reading for more editions of these families’ differences.
The
Pathetic Love Story
By Jackie Guttierez Edited by Sofia Garcia
Rumor has it that
Juliet wasn’t Romeo’s first love! Indeed, close source (requested to keep his
identity hidden) says that Romeo was crazy for Ms.Rosaline (pictured on the
left), just like bees are for their honey! Yikes! If Juliet knew, would the
circumstances been different? The world may never know.
Romeo was absoulety
crazy about his first love! The thing that’s very pathetic is that they never
once met! Rosaline never knew how he felt about her! If she did ever find out ,
could that have been the famous love story?
The close source
says Romeo complained how about how much he loves Rosaline. This event occurred
just hours before he met Juliet! Moaning and complaing about one love, the next
hour it’s a different girl! For goodness sake! This boy was definetely love
crazy!
The same
night the love birds met (Romeo and Juliet, picured below), they already
planned to get married. Whatever Romeo did, every man should take notes! In the
end, they truly did love each other. Rosaline sure did miss out.

Othello | Act 5 | said by Othello
Act V Quotes
Othello
“Yet she must die, else she’ll betray more men put out the
light, and then put out the light.”
Othello thinks Desdemona has betrayed him with Cassio. Othello is going to
smother her because if he keeps her alive she will cheat on other men. He is
going to put out the candle light and then he is going to put out the light in
Desdemona’s heart.
“When I have plucked the rose, I cannot give it vital growth
again.”
Othello says this as refers to Desdemona; when I have plucked this rose, I
can’t make grow again. When Othello has killed Desdemona, he cannot make her
relive.
Othello |Act 4 | Emilia
Act IV Quotes
Emilia
“I will be hanged if some eternal villain, some busy and
insulating rogue, some cogging, cozening slave, to get some office, have not
devised this slander. I will be hanged else.
Othello has just finished calling Desdemona names. Desdemona is asking
Emilia and Iago if she is as she says what Othello called her; whore. While
Emilia and Iago are telling Desdemona that she is a pure woman and such Emilia
is talking to her as she is referring to Iago indirectly. Emilia swears on
her life that an evil busybody, a lying jerk made the rumor that Desdemona is
with other men. (
“Yes, a dozen, and as many to th' vantage as would store the
world they played for. But I do think it is their husbands' faults if wives do fall.”
Desdemona
asks Emilia if women cheat on their husbands since lately since Othello has
been calling Desdemona names that do not even pertain to her. Emilia answers
her that women do cheat on their husbands, about twelve or as many women there
are in the world. She also states that it is the husband’s fault that the women
cheat.
Othello| Act 3 | Emilia Quotes
Act III Quotes
Emilia Quotes
“’Tis not a year or two shows us a man. They are all but
stomach, and we all but food, to eat hungerly, and when they are full, they
blech us.”
Emilia
explains to Desdemona that in a relationship especially marriage it takes a
year or two to reveal a man. Men are like stomachs and they, women are like
food. When men need them they eat women, up hungrily. When men do not need the
women they vomit them.
“But jealous souls will not be answered so, they are not ever
jealous for the cause, but jealous for they’re jealous. It is a monster begot
upon itself, born on itself.”
Emilia explains Othello’s jealousy to Desdemona. Desdemona suggests Othello
is angry for political reasons and not that he is jealous because she never
gave him a reason. Emilia answers that jealous people like Othello do not think
like that. They are jealous for no particular reason. Jealousy is like a
monster keeps growing out of nothing.
