Romeo Juliet's prospective


Romeo is a kind, passionate, and loyal husband. He is a dreamy young man who cares for me and his friends. When it comes to fighting Romeo is a peacekeeper and he is a lover not a fighter. At the age of 15 Romeo stole my heart and since then it was love at first sight.


Romeo is a handsome, good looking man. He has short thin straight hair, sparkling blue eyes, skin as creamy as vanilla, and he is the man of every girls dream.


Romeo belongs to the family of Montagues. His mum, Lady Montague and his father Lord Montague. He’s the only child in the Montague family. Romeos cousin goes by the name of Benvolio, he is a good, caring, kind cousin who always stands up for Romeo. Although not all families live happily, my family hate the Montagues, they have held a grudge for each other for many, many years, which has led to meaningless violence.


Romeo’s interests are to write love poems about me,some of them say really romantic things like "Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!/ For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night." they make me fell special about myself. He also likes to do stuff with his friends. I think Romeo likes to dream about Me.


Romeo is a nice husband who I am happy to of meet at the party, if it wasn’t for him I would of had to mary Paris.

What is the Carbon Cycle








Have you heard of the Carbon Cycle? Are you thinking what is it? Well, I’ll tell you.Carbon is found everywhere in the world, in the atmosphere. Even in all living matter. The Carbon Cycle uses these processes to keep our air clean. They are: Decomposition, respiration, transportation, photosynthesis and compaction. This cycle is one of the many that keep this world the way it is.

Next, an animal or a plant dies and begins to break down all the carbon that was stored. It then gets released into the atmosphere. Decomposition is also when animals or plants die or decay and become part of the soil. Also if animals or plants don’t decompose not fast enough they can become compacted and over a long period of time they could become fossil fuels.


Respiration is when something breathes in and out. When we breathe in oxygen we breathe out Carbon Dioxide this is also like the animals in the ocean, but when they breathe out the Carbon Dioxide, it dissolves back into the ocean.


Photosynthesis is one of the main parts in the Carbon Cycle. Photosynthesis is the main reason animals and people breathe in and out. Plants are the opposite to us when it comes to breathing they breathe in Carbon Dioxide and breathe out Oxygen. Photosynthesis also cleans the air. Photosynthesis is mainly the process which green plants turn Carbon Dioxide into water and then into food using energy from the sunlight.


In conclusion, the Caron Cycle keeps the world in a balanced. But because of the human activity that’s happening right now on this planet, we will die if we don’t think fast. Global warming is occurring. We can help this by putting a seed in the ground when we cut one down. Or maybe even cutting down on how many factories we use. This will help to reduce the amount of carbon in the air.
