Personal Narrative: My Acting Job

Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet – popularly considered by many to be the quintessential love story of all time – is a play that we are all familiar with in one way or another. Whether it be through the plethora of portrayals, adaptations and performances that exist or through your own reading of the play, chances are you have been acquainted with this tale of “tragic love” at some point in your life. Through this universal familiarity an odd occurrence can be noted, one of almost canonical reverence for the themes commonly believed to be central to the plot. The most widely believed theme of Romeo and Juliet is that of the ideal love unable to exist under the harsh social and political strains of this world. Out of this idea emerge two

Examining the sequence of events it becomes apparent that Romeo and Juliet were married the night they first laid eyes upon each other. Numerous articles expound that teenager’s social lives have not completely developed and acquaintances become a priority. The article “Beautiful Brains” elucidates this by saying, “They react to social ups and downs as if their fates depended upon them.” Evidence of this assertion is demonstrated by Romeo’s abrupt transition from Rosaline to Juliet. At the conclusion to this theatrical work both thespians eradicate their own existences for

Romeo as we all know was born into a Noble family, but a feuding family no less, who have endured a harsh and long conflict with their rivals the Capulets. Much unlike the rest of the family, he grew up a sensitive and caring boy with a unique love for reading, walking in the gardens, and of course his innate love for women. It was at this time of growth that I met him as a child and soon I would become his tutor. Quite more often than not, Romeo would visit me during the night or a summer afternoon in my cell to discuss and confide with me the problems and issues he faced. Through these dialogues we engaged in over the years I came to learn the kind of person Romeo was, and the

The play of Romeo and Juliet obtains its status as the most tragic love story in literature with its imagery and spark. William Shakespeare uses love in many guises to thread together the intricate and multifaceted love between the star-crossed lovers. Although Romeo and Juliet share a love of intensity and compassion, their whirlwind romance exhibits reckless and pernicious actions. The lack of authenticity between Romeo and Juliet’s love illustrates how teenage love is not true love. Shakespeare enforces this idea by fully describing this type of mutual attraction with Romeo’s relations to love with physical appearances, Juliet’s naivety due to her inexperience with romance, and how the two does not have the breadth of experience to behave more moderately.

My name is Yris Guzman and I’m a senior at Perry High School. I’ve always struggled writing essays. The things I struggle the most with is grammar, spelling, coming up with a thesis, and organizing my thoughts onto paper. I hope by the end of this semester I become a better writer. We all have strengths and weaknesses.

Throughout my childhood and teenage years, I have searched and searched for a talent that would give me a unique identity to make me stand out from my peers. When I was five years old, I was given the chance to be in a musical in our city's community theatre, PMT. This musical was "The Wizard of Oz", and I played the role of a munchkin in the Lollipop Guild. This initially sparked a great interest in theatre, and I fell in love with acting. I had an amazing mentor for my youth acting career, the late Jack Ewing. He played Harold Hill in PMT's production of "The Music Man", while I had the opportunity to play the role of Winthrop, the young boy that helps Harold Hill become a better person. (Jack later died a year before I had the chance to play the role of Harold Hill in my high school's production of "The Music Man Jr.") When I was about nine, PMT dissolved as an organization and therefore there was no community theatre around me for years, which put a setback in my interest and talent for theatre.

Shakespeare portrays Romeo and Juliet as opposites when it comes to past relationship experience but displays Romeo and Juliet as equally emotionally immature when pitted against emotions as complex as love. Juliet’s tentative stance on love is shown by her initial

In my eighth grade year at Sierra Middle School Ms. Anderson, the drama teacher, announced that our school would be performing the musical “Oklahoma.” Although I had never seen the musical, I knew that it was widely known, and I had a lot of enthusiasm. Auditions finally rolled around, and I auditioned for the three female ‘leads’ (truly the lead is different depending on how each of the parts are portrayed): Laurey, Ado Annie and Aunt Eller. After almost three days of stressful waiting I grabbed my friend

In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and juliet, Romeo Montague is a character who possesses both strengths, and weakness, as do many people of his age. This tragedy highlights his favorable qualities and unfavorable qualities in a way that allows the audience to connect with him by understanding his pain. A multitude of his strengths are contribute to his weaknesses, and his weaknesses parts of his strength, so in a way most of his character traits have viable arguments for both. Despite the book’s classicism, Romeo is protrayed as a teenage boy similar to the boys of our time in their impulsiveness, immaturity, quickness to be angered, loyalty, and interest in love.

I have been trained to become a chemist since the first year of my high school. This is a challenging career, requiring analytical thinking, attention to details, and adaptability. It is also a well-paying and promising career. However, chemistry is not what I have always dreamt of doing the rest of my life. As someone who is concerned about the development of sub-Saharan Africa, I came to a conclusion that what this region needs is not only scientists but also people who know and understand leadership and international affairs. In this paper, I compare my strengths and abilities to the qualities that one should have in order to excel as a chemist and a diplomat.
