10 WAYS TO SURVIVE THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE review
A virus breaks out, humans are converting into decaying zombies seeking human flesh and brains; would you be prepared to defend the human race and survive?
Students from the GCI grade 10 Drama class preformed their short, comedy play about ways to survive if a zombie apocalypse erupts. This topic is of course a scenario that many people have pondered upon and numerous amount of movie franchises have produced. The Drama performance made a funny twist about how to survive and basically all of their tips I wouldn't recommend. Trying to have a Kung Fu battle, romance the zombies or attempting to pull tricks of the flesh eating beings would most likely conclude with you joining their undead army. Except of course all of these suggestions are foolish, which made it funny.
My grade 10 Drama class performed our play last semester, but we took a whole different genre of play. Yes, we did add in a few plays that were indented to have humour, however our main production was sad drama themed. Even though that we didn't include mythical creatures nor advertise the performance as much, we still had a good amount in the audience and had them interacting throughout. During 10 Ways to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse, the GCI students that came out to the show seemed to enjoy everything and were laughing out loud a ton.
Now let's pretend here; say for some extreme reason a zombie apocalypse emerges, what would you actually do? Well many websites have created different preparation advice and various opinions. Here's my favourite from wikiHow {this website has everything!}.

The topic have surviving from zombies has been something that my family but mostly my friends have disgusted for years. It's a silly conversation starter and a subject that personal I could talk about for awhile. For the longest time, I had a set plan of living my life in an apocalyptic world inside a Costco. Except now that I think about it, I have a strong feeling that giant Super Stores will be raided first and then eventually filled with brainless zombies. As it stands right now, my zombie survival plan includes me escaping to Northern Ontario and living in the deep woods. I'd try to find a big lake and get a boat then just float around and only return to shore for food. So that's my current plan for now unless a new movie or book completely changes my opinion.

Romeo and Juliet
Was Shakespeare a psychic? Romeo and Juliet, the play that Shakespeare wrote hundreds of years ago exampled how the young teens fall in love and disobey their parents. Sound familiar? Well that's because that is how teenagers act present day.
It's definitely not a rare occurrence to witness two young premature teens fall madly in love. And in most cases this happens over and over again. Romeo is simply just another typical teenage boy who sees a pretty girl and is automatically in love. Then when an even prettier girl comes alone, he just switches his mind no problem. That's just the hormones taking over. It's how the brain of an average boy works and that hasn't changed for centuries. But it's not just Romeo who has similarities to the present day teen; Juliet acts like an everyday girl. First she played the hard to get card, then she lost it and indulged herself and went head over heals for the dreamy boy. Romeo and Juliet took it a little far with the whole suicide mishap, nowadays teens boringly sent a text if something is wrong, but where's the fun in that? No matter where you travel in the world or research back a few centuries, the basic teenagers acted the same.
Following the instructions and listening to rules of parents aren't usually bearable for teens. It's a difficult task to manage relationships and drama, but then trying to incorporate orders from the parents, well that's an accident waiting to happen. Surprisingly, it's truly how teenagers act in the modern day and it's exactly how Romeo and Juliet maneuvered as well. Even though both lovers were from rival families, they continued their relationship and even took the whole deal to the next level and got married. Also after Romeo murdered Juliet's cousin and got banished, they still didn't want to obey their parents because they were in love. In most cases, the parents are actually right. They have way more experience in life, except teens still only seem them as obstacles.
No, maybe Shakespeare wasn't a true psychic but just very observant. Teenagers have always and will always have hormonal love rages and random outburst. It's how we were created and simply adds an excited stage in life.

Romeo and Juliet films
Today we read Act 1 Scene 1 of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and then watched two movie versions of the play. The first one was made in 1996 , it was... strange. They were trying to be modern, so they added gangs, and guns, and hip hop music which completely took away the whole Shakespeare aspect. The part that bugged me the most was that they kept the original lines from the play and that just made everything so unnatural and kind of funny. I think that it would of been smarter to have the lines modernized as well so that it would fit with the rest of the movie. The second movie version was a lot older. It was filmed in 1968 and was very realistic. I don't know if the movie was just like Shakespeare's play, but it was almost exactly how I pictured in my head while reading. Now if we only got one to watch in class, I'm not sure if I could choose between the two. Even though the first one look really stupid, I'm curious on how they are going to tell the story. The other movie is most likely going to follow the original play exactly which might get a little boring.
I am your... You are my...
I am your best friend
You are my fun
I am your happy
You are my sun
I am your new trick
You are my big smile
I am your wagging tail
You are my life style
I am your safe house
You are my bark
I am your happy place
You are my spark.
You are my fun
I am your happy
You are my sun
I am your new trick
You are my big smile
I am your wagging tail
You are my life style
I am your safe house
You are my bark
I am your happy place
You are my spark.
Jennifer Pahika - Coding a better government
At a TED conference, Jennifer explains how apps can help connect citizen and aid with a working community. She gave examples with a few apps that already exist, one gets people to adopt fire hydrants and keep them accessible to the firefighters year round. There are similar apps around the world that function in the same way. They are really neat ideas except that they can only continue to work if the community all decides to do it. If Cambridge did get something like that I would try to participate with the apps, I feel like it's a good way to bring people together.
Utopia: an ideal society, perfect place
The measure of a community (civilization, society) is how it treats its weakest
Winter Wonderland
The white wintery snow blankets the tall trees
The birds battle for the solemn single seeds
The mini mice burrow beneath the blinding snow
Winter is finally welcomed
