O Speak Again Bright Angel. . .


~*~From first glance into each other's eyes, they are almost immediately hooked. Now they stand, surrounded by the garden of the Capulet's, confessing their love for one another. Confessions of deep thought and feelings, turns into a hurried carry-out of plans for the future. The plan of being married and internally bound to one another is set in mind of the two lover. Is this fate, or just a mix of rash actions?
~*~Well, my opinion of these mix thoughts is something more clear than Romeo's thinking skills. My feelings of fate is fairly simple, we choose our own fate and we make our own luck. Yes, I have heard the saying through out this book about "star crossed lovers," and yes I do believe that there is "love at first sight," but when fate is involved and luck. . .well. . . there is more than coincidence there. Now I am not trying to create a huge debate and argument, and NO I am not calling anyone's beliefs wrong, this is jus my view.
~*~ Star crossed lovers and love at first sight, I like the sounds of that. They make good stories, but actually finding those two elements in real life is hard to find. I believe that we make our own "Shakespeare" story, our lives are the play and we are the directors. There are Romoes in our lives, Tybults in the halls of school, Lord C Caputlets waiting to give us our next pop quizzes, and yes there are beautiful angels waiting for us at every corner. We have a Shakespeare Sonnet, and our live is that. Though we may not speak as "funny" as they did, (though they might think that we sound funny now) our lives are our stories. We can make them as dry as we want, and yet more "appetizing," as dramatic (as Shakespeare) as we want. With star crossed love and love at first sight, I don't think we'll get board soon. So take mental notes through this book, it is a story of two PEOPLE, and you never know you just might find yourself in the story too.
