Assef's Interaction With Baba at Amir's Thirteenth Birthday Party

We believe that this picture best represents Assef, specifically his interaction with Baba at Amir's thirteenth birthday party. We see that although water is something that someone can easily drown in, in this photo it is covered, symbolizing how Assef easily covers his true personality with a facade that deceives Baba. Yet, Amir is not fooled by how Assef "was the embodiment of every parent's dream, a strong, tall, well-dressed and well-mannered boy... But to me, his eyes betrayed him. When I looked into them, the facade faltered, revealed a glimpse of the madness hiding behind them" (96-97). Here, Assef's eyes are symbolized by the strips of water that we can see, since the pool covers don't completely cover them. Baba only sees the pool covers, but Amir sees the terrifying depths of the water underneath them, and so he is correctly justified in his fear of Assef. One last thing that this picture has is flags above the pool pointing down. Very clearly, there are no red flags at all, similar to how to Baba and many other Afghan parents, Assef is a flawless child who everyone should aspire to be.

Much sadness. Very Tragedy.

Prompt B

Romeo: Why did you kill Paris when you are trying to die? Shouldn't you have let Paris kill you?

Juliet: Why did you kill yourself before you made sure Romeo was actually dead? Maybe he took the same poison as you did?

Balthasar: Why didn't you go and check up on Romeo even though he told you not to? He was in there for a half hour, go check up on him

Friar: Why didn't you go earlier and check up on Juliet? It is always good to be early.

Paris: Why were you checking up on Juliet in the middle of the night? You had earlier to throw flowers.

Act 2 Scene 6

I am the Friar, and I had to wed Romeo and Juliet today. I think that this wedding is happening too soon, and that the two need to talk to each other and figure out what their true feelings are. This feels too rushed, and bad things happen to those who are impatient. This could end badly for the two of them if this marriage is found out, and I must do everything I can to prevent the Lords from finding out. I hope that this marriage brings happiness to the two of them, but I also feel that something is going to happen.

Act 2 Scene 2: An Offended Nurse

Prompt B

Mercutio - Why do you keep egging on the Nurse?
Benvolio - How do you stand listening to Mercutio rambling so long?
Romeo - Why did you not tell your mates why you left them and who you left them for?
Nurse - Why are you so offended by Mercutios words?
Peter - Why are you silent as your wife is insulted?

Act 2 Scene 2

I chose this picture because it shows another forbidden love in the form of Aladdin and Jasmine. Like Romeo and Juliet, their love is forbidden under normal circumstances, but they still try to see each other.

Act 1 Scene 5

This image represents the scene as it shows three women talking with one sitting on a chair and two standing up. The younger looking women looks like she is contemplating something and is thinking about something the one sitting on the chair just said, and the older women standing up is saying something and looks like she is encouraging her to do something. This image shows the events that happen in this scene very accurately.

If I had Trillion Dollars

If I had a trillion dollars

If I had a trillion dollars

I would buy myself

a nice small house.

I would live in the suburbs,

and live comfortably with my family.

If I had a trillion dollars

I would travel around the world,

To the snowy mountains of Switzerland,

to the sandy deserts of Arabia,

to the pyramids of Egypt

and the museums of France.

I would go to the far corners of the world,

and then I would return back home

To relax and play with friends

wherever we wanted.

We would go to Disneyland

and great America,

and Comic Con,

and Maker Faire.

and anywhere else we wanted to go.

If I had a trillion dollars

I would go buy

my family whatever they wanted.

My sister a drawing pad

My dad a better computer

My brother an ipad

And whatever my mother asks for.

If I had a trillion dollars,

I think I would go

and try all the greatest restaurants in the world

Like the French Laundry,

and Eleven Madison Park,

and Noma,

and Osteria Francescana

If I had a trillion dollars

I would try to buy

all the greatest books in the world,

and buy a nice, large, comfy couch,

to go and read

Les Miserables

The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Moby Dick

Ulysses

and many more.

If I had a trillion dollars

I would go to Africa,

and remodel every village i see,

into a image of perfection,

to the point that the actors in Hollywood

would be oozing jealousy.

I would take Bill Gates challenge,

and donate more than  ¼ of my wealth

to the children in need across the globe.

I would do all of this

If I had a trillion dollars

But I don't.

So I wont.
