BR 2-5: Romeo & Juliet

I have long wished to read "Romeo & Juliet". This story is very famous. This story was written by William Shakespeare. "Romeo & Juliet" was tragic love story.

Juliet was a daughter of Capulet. Romeo was a son of Montague. The Capulet and the Montague were richest families in Verona. They were sworn enemies. How every Romeo and Juliet fell in love and got married next day in secret. This love could not be allow for their families.

One day, Romeo had to leave Verona and go to Mantua because he killed tybalt, he was Juliet's cousin. Romeo set off for Mantua and Juliet was grief. And Juliet's parents made her married Count Paris. She was averse to marring. So, she went to monk who made medicines and she got a medicines. The monk said "If you drink this, you'll sleep deep like you dead". Their plan was that every body was thought that Juliet was dead and then, Romeo came to meet her and ran away together. Then, She drink it and everybody thought she was dead. While Romeo had heard a rumor that Juliet was dead before he got the plan.

When he met her, he was mistake that she was dead. And he died in taken a poison. Soon after, Juliet woke u- from deep sleep. She saw him and she was very grief. And then, she stabbed herself with a knife.

If her plan was told him, they might to be able to be happy. The discovery of this story was very speedy. I was surprised the speed that Romeo and Juliet's love. They got married after only one day when they had met. And soon, Romeo left Verona and Juliet drank the medicine. Then, Romeo died and Juliet died, too. They were very young. I thought this story expressed foolishness of youth. I thought they were too young.

Website Review "Chiristian Riese Lassen"

I found a good website "Lassen International". This website is Christian Riese Lassen's website. He is a artist. He is particularly famous as the premier marine artist.
★His Introduction★
He was born in State of California Mendocino county. He emigrated to State of Hawaii Maui Island with a family at the age of 10 years old. He was interested to draw a picture after childhood and studied by self-education. He majored in a subject of the art system in the days of a senior high school. And I developed the original style and law of painting. From 1976, he has begun to announce the work as a painter. Furthermore, he plays an active part as a professional surfer, a professional windsurfer. In 1980, he attracts attention by the picture which he drew Hawaiian nature scenery (a dolphin / an evening landscape / the shore) on. In 1990, he establishes the sea vision foundation of the environmentalist group. He held an exhibition in Japan, too.

The day I first saw his artworks, I was a high school student. I hadn't known him until then. When I went to a hotel to have dinner with my family, a exhibition was held. Few artist's artworks are hung there and I saw his artworks at that time. I was greatly moved. I thought how beautiful they are. They were the most beautiful works I have ever seen. The pictures shows a dolphin swimming. I saw the dolphin was like living, and I felt I could hear the sound of wave and wind. I remembered his name at once, but I didn't know himself yet at that time.
And then, I have come to hear his name and see his artworks from then on. I often saw him through TV program. The TV program is "London Hearts". It was the first time I saw his face. I think that people in the world are worth watching his picture. Thoroughly please enjoy his world by all means. He drew many pictures. You can see all from this website. http://www.lassenart.com/
For example, we can see pictures of whales, dolphins, turtles, two worlds"above and below the sea", seascapes, panoramics, figuratives, exotic cars and bikes, abstracts, impressionism, sketches and watercolors, sea life, horses, south western, wildlife and so on.

★My Memory Of Summer Vacation③★

I went to Aso on a trip of club activity. I got up at 6 and I got on a train to go to school. I arrived at the school and went to Aso by bus from there. We stayed a place that called the soyokaze park. I stay at the lodge. First, We went to river to swim. I didn't swim because I didn't want to tan. I didn't part with my sunshade. I put up my sunshade all the time. Everybody looked happy. We returned to a lodge afterwards. And I played with karuta. I took the karuta absorbedly. I was very happy. We did a barbecue outside for supper. A lot of stars twinkled when I looked up at the sky and were very beautiful. It is rarely possible to watch such a lot of stars. After a barbecue, we played fireworks. It was after a long absence to have played fireworks by oneself. I have admired fireworks because the fireworks which shined in darkness were very beautiful. I became full, but a drinking session was held afterwards. We borrowed a grand hall and kept drinking with all the circle members. Drunkards appeared one after another. I got drunk, too and ran in the corridor and then fell down and injured a knee. I thought that the excessive drinking was not good. I did not sleep and walk around lodge to be woken up. We spent night outside after all without sleeping. The temperature of the night of Aso was very cold. Thus I took a blanket forth and I was wrapped up in a blanket and talked all through the night outside. And we saw the morning sun. It was very beautiful. I was able to watch a beautiful thing by having come to Aso.
