My feature article themes

My three themes are:

• Love
• Hate
• Family relationships

These three things are relevant today as all these three themes exist in a normal lifestyle. For example everyone has family relationships or has had them. Also love and hate people are going to encounter during their life. Although these three themes may have changed from back in the Shakespearean times, family relationships as an example may have had different values.

Universal themes

1. I think a universal theme is a theme where other people can relate to it as it is known world wide.
2. Universal themes found in much ado about nothing are battles between good and evil, love and friendship.
3. I believe that Shakespeares play Much Ado About Nothing is relevant for a modern audience because it contains love between Hero and Claudio, and Beatrice and Benidick. Many people world wide can relate to these situations such as the love hate one between Beatrice and Benidick. Also the strong bond almost brotherly like between Don Pedro and Claudio even though they are not brothers. As there is also alot of hate in the world the struggles between Don Pedro and his half brother Don John makes this play very relevant.

book review: Ms. Simon says

I have finished this book and I am really sad that it's ended. It was a very fun and interesting book to read and I could not put it down. I loved the ending as she bought him a dog which he always wanted but the apartment building had a restriction on pets. To solve this problem he finally asked Ms Simon to marry him and to move to a lovely new house in the suburbs. Finally Shelby found her own Prince Charming and now she can give advice to people on how to find theirs. I definitely want to read another book like this.

book review: Ms. Simon says

This book is about Shelby Simon a hugely known advice columnist being put in danger because of letter bombs being sent to her. Sent to protect her is the majorly sexy Mick Callahan. To protect her from the crazy letter bombs he takes her away to her families secluded country home situated in Heart Lake. I think this book is very interesting and mysterious at the same time. I am looking forward to reading more about whether or not Ms Simon will finally find a man to settle down with rather than giving advice to people on how to do it.
