for our final project my group has chosen to research and write about King Henry viii and his six wives. i was in honors Shakespeare for my English class second semester last year and Shakespeare uses the Tudor family in many of his plays so i already had some background knowledge about that time period. last night in the library, i was basically looking at family trees of the Tudors to see exactly how everyone is related.
- Henry viii is the son of Henry vii and Elizabeth of York
- siblings: Arthur Tudor, Margaret Tudor, Mary Tudor
- first marriage: Catherine of Aragon. child: Mary i ("Bloody Mary")
- second marriage: Anne Boleyn. child: Elizabeth i (later declared illegitimate and later Queen Elizabeth i)
- third marriage: Janey Seymour. child: Edward vi

long week
For the past seven days 20 of the freshmen dance majors have been working with a guest choreographer, Derrick Evans, for a piece in the Fall Showcase. The piece was also chosen to be performed in the Winter Gala Concert which is the best WMU dance concert of the year. Along with this, every freshman in the dance department started working with the Choreo III students (most of them are BFA juniors or seniors) for their works that will also be performed in the Fall Showcase. I love love love the two choreographers I am working with for that, Ronnie and Alana. Those are the last rehearsals I have before I get to go home for Thanksgiving Tuesday night. :) And now, I will probably be staying up to wait for Coldplay's Live 2012 album to be released. Probably not one of my better ideas, considering I have class at 8am but, oh well I'll live.

reading journals
Seventeen -October 2012
Audience: high school girls.
the article is about homecoming dresses. that's also the age of the girls in the pictures.
Purpose: to tell the audience what the cute styles are for homecoming this year. achieves this by giving picture examples of those dresses.
Tone: the mood of this article is fun and casual. sort of like you are just talking with a friend.
Attitude: the author isn't really partial to one style over the other. they are just informing the reader about the styles.
Design: there are not many words on the page at all. the words 'dresses' and 'homecoming!' are in bold and different colors. there are four different dresses shown by themselves and a larger picture of a girl actually wearing one.
Medium: magazine pages.
Glamour -December 2012
Audience: young women. (20 yr+)
the article is focused on satin shoes. they are very expensive so not something that teenage girls could afford.
Purpose: to show what shoes are in this holiday season. there are about ten example pictures of different shoes on the page.
Tone: the tone of the page is fun and light.
Attitude: you don't get the author's opinion on any of the shoes.
Design: there are hardly any words on the page. there are many pictures of satin heels in all different colors on the page with three pictures of someone actually wearing a pair.
Medium: magazine pages.

sunday funday
I actually really don't like Sundays, I don't think they are very fun at all. Anyways, I was sitting here and almost forgot to write a blog and then noticed I didn't write one Thursday either. Wednesday night through this afternoon Orchesis Dance Society had their 2012 concert which was AMAZING. The last three shows were sold out which is always a good thing. I was able to watch only on Saturday night and this show contained two of my favorite pieces I've ever seen. They were choreographed by seniors in the dance program which is probably one of the reasons why they were so amazing. I'm so glad to be a part of this program here and can not wait till I'm an upper class-men, can perform and choreograph like they do and all the freshman look up to us like we look up to and admire them.
