Paradise Lost... Wow

Long but interesting.
It shouldve been like, "Genesis: the zequal" or "the Devils Point of View"
or something like that!
The man who wrote it was blind and still did better at writting stories then i do... how embarassing.
I guess I'm just not the imaginative kind of people. Oh well.:)
I really liked the movie we watched along with this book.
It kept me on the edge of my seat. I found a couple of similarities like, the angels and demons jaja
but i don't think that the two main characters ( the guy and pregnant lady) represented Adam and Eve. Instead, they seemed to Represent Mary and Joseph because Mary was pregnant with baby Jesus, and Joseph took care of her even thought it wasn't his child. In my head, it makes sense.
Other then that, it was similar because Micheal( the ex angel) had been on the devil's side and then turned to the good side, i think. At least thats the way I understood it. The grandma was creepy!!!
I thought it was cool how first they were going to be tested on their strengths and then on their weaknesses... that would've been hard to survive. I would've been the first one to die! Oh and I hate how the African American(Black) people died first... it happens in all the movies I've ever seen! They never survive:(

Taming of the Shrew

So we read the Taming of the Shrew in class and I absoulutely loved it! I saw it last year. It was performed by a small group of actors.. like 6 people. They all played different roles! The beauty, Bianca, was played by a guy! I thought that was amazing! Both the play and reading were hard to follow at times, but it was a unique story. It was the one I have enjoyed the most, so far:]
I compare this story to my sisters:)
One is nice, and everyone thinks she's really nice, and the other one is mean and rude and speaks her mind lol
I guess that could be a reason why the story interested me so much!
Anyways... along with the story, we watched the movie Ten Things I Hate About You. I had never heard of it before. I can't believe I lived all the 17 years of my life without knowing it existed. The "bad boy" was gorgeous! The movie was funny, sweet, and romantic( a total chick flick). I really enjoyed everything that had to do with this story. Shakespear was a total genious!
