Mr. Rain

Mr. Rain! Oh Mr. Rain
Here you are again Mr. Rain
Showering us with endless raindrops
Blowing us your cool winds

You refresh our surroundings
And make the green more green
As the flowers sing their joyfulness
To your drops that give them happiness

You make the busy day calm
You make the warm noon cold
You’re making me rest in comfort
And remember memories in the past

So you’re leaving now Mr. Rain?
Thank you for the good things you’ve done
I really enjoyed your visit here
Just don’t forget to come again, Mr. Rain!

Ecological Crisis: Certain but Preventable

1 (mga) komento

          Ecological crisis is slowly occurring in the world. It includes global warming, climate change and many more problems today and on the future. It is undoubtedly a serious threat to mankind and to life. Can there be a way to stop or prevent this? We should act now, and not later or tomorrow, for our mother Earth.

          In the condition of the world today, there is still a chance to make it fine again. We can help healing our world by many things. Planting trees is one of the best ways to make it because they clean the air. Avoiding contribution in the pollution will also lessen the threat. Also us, using technologies like computers and other gadgets, can help by not using abusively such gadgets. More ways can be done and even how small or how big your contributions are, it is still a great help in healing the world.

          It is not yet over. We should just be hopeful and determined to restore the health of our world. It may look so impossible for now, but surely it can be accomplished. Let us just be united for just one goal and for the sake of the next generation. We should do the job our Lord has given us before it’s too late.

What a Wonderful World
by Louis Armstrong

I see trees of green… red roses too
I see them bloom… for me and for you
And I think to myself… what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue… clouds of white
Bright blessed days… dark sacred nights
And I think to myself… what a wonderful world

The colors of a rainbow… so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces… of people… going by

I see friends shaking hands… sayin’ … how do you do
They’re really sayin’ … I love you

I hear babies cry… I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more… than I’ll never know
And I think to myself… what a wonderful world.

Comic Relief Ending

0 (mga) komento

Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” is a tragic story of two people with true love for each other. A tragic ending was very good to show how they really love each other, and also to leave a strong feeling to the readers. But how if it’s ending was a comic relief? Will it still be like that? If its ending would be changed and make it a comic relief, it may be funny but give more satisfaction to the readers.

In the story, Romeo found Juliet dead and he killed himself, followed by Juliet when she woke up. To change it to be a comic relief, I would make the poison ineffective; when Romeo drinks it, he would close his eyes and wait ‘till he dies. After a few minutes of waiting, he’ll realize that he’s not dying and, he’s not dead. He would be angry to the Apothecary, disappointed and very depressed (all of those feeling would only be in his mind). By that time, Juliet would wake up and will find Romeo near her in the room. Romeo would know the plan and they would be able to escape. Their families would be friends by some time because of them, they would be married, and they would live happily ever after.

A comic relief ending for “Romeo and Juliet” may remove the seriousness of the story for a short period of time. It can also make the story funny. But it can give more satisfaction for the story to the readers because it would be a happy ending. Though funny, a comic relief ending is still an effective type of ending. It is a “twist” that can entertain the readers a lot.

Creative Writing: Rewriting the Ending

0 (mga) komento

          The tragic ending of “Romeo and Juliet” was really sad and disappointing. It was not the kind of ending I was expecting for a beautiful flow of a love story like that. I expected a happy ending for them. And if I am to change its ending, I would make it a “happily ever after” for Romeo and Juliet. It might be better and satisfying if it was that way.

          In the Act 5, Scene 3 of “Romeo and Juliet”, Romeo went to Juliet’s tomb and found her dead. It was planned that she will become alive again after some more time, but Romeo didn’t know it and he killed himself, also Juliet, when she found he was dead. If I would change what would happen there, I would make the potion’s effect be shorter so that when Romeo comes to Juliet, she would wake up. Romeo will not drink the poison anymore. Juliet would explain the plan to Romeo, and they will escape. They would live happily even though their families don’t like it. After some time, their families would be convinced that Romeo and Juliet should really be married because they really love each other. They will be married, and their families would be brought to each other because of them, the feud will be ended and they would live happily ever after.

          It was a very good and very effective style to have the ending of “Romeo and Juliet” a tragedy. It gives lasting feelings to the readers. But if the ending was happy like that, the readers may have been more satisfied. Overall, Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” was a very entertaining and fantastic love story. And Romeo and Juliet’s love for each other is an example of true love.
