Romeo and Juliet – Forshadowing in Act 3 Scene 3

  1. Forshadowing is when Shakespeare warns or tells us what is going to happend in the play before it actually happens.
  2. The following act of foreshadowing is when Juliet says that she would rather die a virgin, if she can’t see Romeo again.

Shakespeare is using foreshadowing as a dramatic device because it makes the readers curious and makes them want find out if the foreshadowing is correct. This is very interesting because it adds to the story and gives that drama effect.

4. Romeo hides at the friars cell, desperate for his advice about what to do next. Both characters are over-suspisious when someone knocks at the door. It turns out to be the Nurse. Soon after her arrival, Romeo threatens to kill himself, when he hears about how crestfallen Juliet is. The friar tells him to be calm for three reasons …

1) She will love you no matter what has happened.

2) You have a good heart and mind.

3) You and Juliet will be together in the end.

If I was the friar I would say these lines in such a way that they are understandable and are getting through to Romeo. If it seems that Romeo is not taking in the information then I will raise my voice a little to make sure he hears. Then I will take it down and give him advice like a fartherly figure.

Friars plan is to make sure Romeo leaves Verona and he will send him a letter to tell him what is going on. Other than that, Friar is going to give Juliet a potion to make her sleep through the her arranged wedding so that she can’t get married. When she wakes it will be to late and she won’t be able to marry Paris. Continue reading

The history of the Periodic Table

December 8, 2016 / / 0 Comments

The periodic table is an arrangement of the chemical elements, organised on the basis of their atomic numbers, electronic configuration and recurring chemical properties. Elements are presented in order of increasing atomic number. The standard form of the table consists of a grid of elements, with rows called periods and columns called groups.

In 1869 Russian chemist Dimitri Mendeleev started the development of the periodic table, arranging chemical elements by atomic mass. He predicted the discovery of other elements, and left spaces open in his periodic table. A Russian chemist called Dmitri Mendeleev published a periodic table. Mendeleev also arranged the elements known at the time in order of relative atomic mass, but he did some other things that made his table much more successful.

Just five years after John Newlands put forward his law of octaves. An octave was One of the first attempts at a periodic table, known as “Newlands octaves”.

Antoine Lavoiser was a French nobleman and chemist central to the 18th-century chemical revolution and had a large influence on both the history of chemistry and the history of biology.

The periodic table is very helpful to us humans, it helps us to understand the elements and how they react to different things.
