: About Me

Nicole is a 15-year-old girl, who writes because she has a passion for writing and because she feels that the internet is lacking in reliable sources for news about actual topics.

In her words, she "loves the beauty and descriptiveness of words, and wants to write forever, so that she can experience all this over and over again." Maybe she's a bit over-expressive, but it is true.

She can also be found on various other sites, such as fictionpress.com, fanfiction.net and writer.com.

My passion is ...

reading, writing and all things literature. I also enjoy art and sport.

I know too much about ...

chemistry for my own good. But I also adore Harry Potter, and am entirely too obsessed. Oh, and vampires (Steph Meyer -Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, go read!- you are my hero!)

My parents always told me ...

to make my own decision and that it was my life, I should do what I want to. (Great advice but difficult to actually follow, stupid parents speaking in RIDDLES)

My childhood ambition ...

was to be a golfer. But now it's to be a journalist or an author. I love the idea of someday publishing a book.

My favorite memory ...

is still in the process of being created.

Why I write ...

because I love inventing new worlds and getting to know my characters. I also love giving people happy endings.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I'm reading fanfiction, watching animes and listening to Linkin Park's What I've Done (love that song!).

My first job ...

was being a secretary for my parents in the holidays.

My best moment ...

is non-existent. I don't have best moments, I have bad moments and worse moments.

My inspiration ...

is definately real life and how much it sucks.

Entertainment > Movie Analysis Movie analysis: Baz Luhrmann's Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

6 of 7

Shakespeare: A comparison of two film version's treatment of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. As with most of his works, Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet can be interpreted in many different ways. Two of these interpretations are the 1968 film by Franco Zeffirelli, and the 1997 film by Baz Luhrmann. The two are very different in their approach to recreating Shakespeare's work of art. In this essay, I aim to compare the two without judging them. My focus will be on Scene 1, Act 1, in which several youths from both families (i.e. the Montagues and the Capulets) start a fray in the city,...
