Comparison of 1964 and 1996 Romeo and Juliet

Over years several Romeo and Juliet movies are filmed. The 1964 version started with the servants of the Capulets walking on the streets and biting his thumb at the Montagues, which led to a bloody fight between two families. This is more similar to the original Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare. However, 1996 version of the Romeo and Juliet is different from 1964 version. In 1996 version, the Capulets, including Benvolio, Romeo's cousin, were driving their car to a gas station, where the Montagues were, too. Also, the weapons that use in different film were different, too. In 1964 version, people were using swords. Instead, people in 1996 version of the Romeo and Juliet were using guns. Later on, the plot of the movies are quite similar. The Capulets were biting their thumbs are the Montagues, and later on led to a fight. Also, the dialogue when the servants of the Capulets respond to the Montagues are almost exactly the same as the 1964 version. I like the 1996 version of the Romeo and Juliet better because it is more modern, and easy to understand. The most important, I like the actors in 1996 version of the movie more than the 1964 version of the movie.

Privacy Debate Reflection

Today the privacy debate is pretty good and pretty productive. My side and the opponent side are both arguing the point back. I think our group did OK and well. Our group members are involving actively in the debate and discussion. However, at the beginning of the debate, I don't realize that we have to do 3 people on one side. Personally, I think I did pretty well; I am the third person who talks for the government side. Steven did pretty well because he addresses the main point. Then is Melody, she do pretty well, too; she did mentioned some of the information that Steven didn't mentioned about. I did pretty well too, I use specific reasons that support our thesis, which gives them not much speeches about what we have said. I think our team members should participate more on discussion and be more actively. They can also improve themselves by proposing more questions during discussion time. However, for the debate for this time, our team members didn't know that we need to have 3 people to make our positions and speeches, so that takes away pretty much points. For the overall, I think we've done pretty good. GOOD JOB GUYS :D
