**i’MAC ked OUT ** =====

 Whispering in my ear, a new best friend. Apple, you created **iPod** for me. Upon my Sound Dock, you play to no end, Always, you bring me peace and company.

Next, my ** MacBook, ** for you, I work and live,  No PCs for me, they cannot compete. You organize my life, and then you give me such satisfaction; I am complete. 

And then the world, it changed as I knew it, My ** iPhone, ** you sit, comfy in your bed, Someone else hold you? I’ll never permit! You own me now; to my future you’ve led.

** Steve Jobs, you always know just what I lack. ** 
 * I am gladly part of the Cult of Mac**

Benvolio  =====
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; text-align: center; display: block; font-size: 120%;">"Part, Fools! Put up your swords; you know not what/ you do... I do but keep the peace: put up they sword,/ Or manage it to part these men with me" (I.i.56-61) **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">While speaking in Act I of William Shakespeare’s tragedy //Romeo and Juliet,// Benvolio has just come upon a huge brawl in the streets between the Montagues, who are his relatives, and the Capulets, his enemies. Benvolio is very aware of the trouble that the fight will cause, so he implores the people to “[p]ut up [their] swords” before Prince Escalus shows up (I.i.56). Here, Shakespeare gives the readers information to help them understand the importance of the fight and the consequences if the prince finds out. When Benvolio tells them he simply wants to “keep the peace,” the reader realizes that he does not approve of the fighting, and his name Benvolio fits him as he is indeed benevolent and kind (I.i.60). Shakespeare also advances one of the themes of violence and hate with Benvolio’s words, foreshadowing the fact that the fighting will continue. Shakespeare’s use of the sound technique alliteration with the words “know not” adds to the rhythm and natural flow of the words (I.i.56).
