The Mystical Man.

A man was seen earlier today down Kilburn High st at approximately ’12:34′ today where he had been seen in PC world. Where he was downloading a software on to almost all the computers in this branch. This software was discovered that a hacking group named ‘Anonymous’. Have said on a live stream to NBC News that they take responsibility for this operation.
This software transfers all information to an Unkown computer owned by an Anonymous member. This software will also destroy the computer by automatically putting a 250 character password on all computers which nobody knows. Who was that man in the shop?

I decided to ask apple the question how many apps are on the App Store. After a 23minute and 17 second wait they finally talked to me and answered my question very vaigly saying that in 2012 when they last did a survey there were 650,000 apps. The contact number is 0844 209 0611. I wouldn’t call unless you wish to wait 20 minutes. I’m not 100 percent that its the primary source.

Can you see my film now ?

Romeo and Juliet
Act II, Scene 2: The Balcony Scene

Romeo’s monologue to Juliet in today’s language:

1. Sssh, what’s that light coming through the window?
2. Juliet’s like the sunlight.
3. Come out sun and kill the jealous moon,
4. Who is ill from being upset about how peng you are.
5. She’s so jealous, it’s making her look pasty.
6. Don’t be her maid. She’s so jealous,
7. Her innocent clothes are ugly and green
8. And only idiots would wear that stuff and be that innocent.
9. It’s my girl, my love!
10. If only she knew it.
11. She’s saying something without speaking, but what?
12. I can see in her eyes she’s saying something to me.
13. No, I was too confident, she wasn’t talking to me.
14. Two of the most beautiful stars in the sky
15. Asked Juliet’s eyes to do their job in their place
16. While they went off to do some work.
17. What if Juliet’s eyes were up there being stars in the sky and the stars were where her eyes should be?
18. Her cheeks would be bright enough to put the stars to shame
19. Her eyes shining in the sky would be as bright as daylight compared to a lamp.
20. The rays from her eyes would shine so bright
21. That birds would think it was daytime and start singing.
22. Look how she’s resting her cheek on her hand.
23. I wish I was a glove on her hand,
24. So I could touch her cheek.

I’m going to do bite you thumb sir, for the film and this as my monologue because i have learnt it. I’ve also translated this speech into modern english. which i’ll post on my blog.
ROMEO
1 He jests at scars that never felt a wound.

[JULIET appears above at a window.]

2 But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
3 It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
4 Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
5 Who is already sick and pale with grief,
6 That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she.
7 Be not her maid, since she is envious;
8 Her vestal livery is but sick and green
9 And none but fools do wear it; cast it off.
10 It is my lady, O, it is my love!
11 O, that she knew she were!
12 She speaks yet she says nothing; what of that?
13 Her eye discourses; I will answer it.
14 I am too bold, ’tis not to me she speaks.
15 Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
16 Having some business, do entreat her eyes
17 To twinkle in their spheres till they return.
18 What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
19 The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,
20 As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven
21 Would through the airy region stream so bright
22 That birds would sing and think it were not night.
23 See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
24 O, that I were a glove upon that hand,
25 That I might touch that cheek!

JULIET
25 Ay me!

Your task is to identify the metaphor present in the following excerpt and then write a paragraph that explains the metaphor and its effect on the meaning of the passage it is embedded in.

ROMEO:

From this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last!
Arms, take your last embrace! and, lips, O you
The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss
A dateless bargain to engrossing death!
Come, bitter conduct, come, unsavoury guide!
Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on
The dashing rocks thy sea-sick weary bark!
Here’s to my love!
