In the article “Apollo 11 hoax: one in four people
do not believe in moon landing” it explains how many conspiracy theories point
out that there is some evidence to show that the “Apollo moon landings” were
faked and staged by NASA. This article also explains how one out of every four
people believe that the Apollo moon landings were in fact faked.
Conspiracy theorists have pointed to
a number of flaws in the pictures and footage from the Apollo missions as proof
that the moon landings were staged.For instance, the US flag planted by Neil
Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin was said to be waving in a breeze, which should not
have been possible on the airless moon. Nasa's response was that the flag waved
a little when deployed due to residual momentum from contact with the
astronauts, not because of windy weather.
Another question mark over the lack
of dust kicked up by the lunar module was explained by the fact that the
craft's rocket exhaust fired out sideways rather than straight down. There are
other examples of why the Apollo moon landings were faked. People even go as
far to accuse Stanley Kubrick (a very
famous director) to be the person that directed the fake moon landings.
how dare you. i put my heart and soul into this. and this is what i get? just...just...no

ReplyDeleteThe Book Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare is about 2 families that hate each other, (Montages and Capulets) one day a girl named Juliet Capulet and a boy named Romeo Montague met and instantly fell in love. They where in love so much that they ended up killing themselves so that they could be together forever. The way Romeo and Juliet acted towards each other is actually very similar to modern day lovers. Today many people show a large amount of affection towards each other much like Romeo and Juliet did.
ReplyDeleteOne example of lovers in modern day time compared to Romeo and Juliet is Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Melarik from the Hunger Games. In Romeo and Juliet, Romeo and Juliet are described as star crossed lovers, and in the Hunger Games Katniss and Peeta are called the “Star crossed lovers from District 12” Also in the first Hunger Games Katniss and Peeta are willing to kill each other to prove that they love each other so much that if one of them couldn’t come out to the games then both of them wouldn’t, in the end they both lived but it is extremely similar to Romeo and Juliet.
The newer version of Romeo and Juliet that takes place in “Verona Beach” (LA) The characters are presented as modern day people that carry around guns and drive cars, but talk like Romeo and Juliet (the book) and they have modern day conflicts and problems. One thing that the movie does really well in is showing how much Romeo and Juliet love each other, and show it in a more modern version. Like the balcony scene, there is a security guard that is watching cameras to make sure no trespassers come in, this movie version of the book makes Romeo and Juliet seen like kids that live in the 21 century and not hundreds of years ago.
In modern day Romeo and Juliet could be seen as a odd couple, there are some different things about the way they acted back then and today, for example Juliet would most likely not be forced to marry someone, and she would have a choice. This would make it so Romeo and Juliet would never have to kill themselves, and there would most likely be no family feud that prohibits 2 people to marry each other from the other family. So if Romeo and Juliet meet in a modern 21 century setting the would most likely be able to marry each other and be happy together, and not kill themselves for their love. But in all the book and movies are similar and the way Romeo and Juliet act is not much different to modern day books like the Hunger Games and modern day couples.
All in all todays Romeos and Juliet's are not much different than the ones read about in the book Romeo and Juliet. In fact many authors from the 21 century use a similar set up of two lovers (star crossed lovers) such as the the Hunger Games.
