Autumn 2007: The dawn of a new school year brings 44 students together to explore unknown territory--English I Pre-IB. Together, they discuss themes of distant worlds and techniques of masters in certain crafts to ensure the survival of their colony. They build a trusting community through reading ancient texts and by documenting their own expeditions. Here stand their struggles, comtemplations, nuances, and legacies--both individual and collective. Read, respect and reflect!

hostility and its effects pandora
The hostility in Romeo and Juliet iminently leads to their death. The two family's hate for each other is the blame for their demise and it shows a lesson that we can learn from. The conflict in the Middle East is an example of hostility, in an extreme way. There's the anomosity between the Muslim and Jews/Israelis, and also inside the Muslim religeon, between the Shia and Sunni. This hate, hostility, and animosity has never lead to anything good and most likely leads to cultural destruction and genocide. The Holocaust is also a good example of how simple hostility turns into a complicated mishap fo events. German Nazi's needed someone to blame for their misfortune, so Jews became their scapegoat. This hate eventually turned into the complete destruction of the Jewish population in Europe. The relationship between the Montagues and the Capulets is similar because their hostility and alienation of each other eventually lead to many deaths in each family.
