Prompt A:
After Romeo kills Tybalt, Lady Capulet finds Juliet crying in her room. Juliet then leads her mother on to thinking she is crying about Tybalt's death and wishing Romeo dead, but she is stating his love for him. Lady Capulet then urges Juliet to marry Paris because he wishes to make her happy. Juliet rejects the proposal and Lord Capulet threatened to disown her is she refuses to obey him and marry Paris. This reminds me of in Modern Family when Mitchell, his son, tells his father, Jay, that he is homosexual and wanted to marry his boyfriend Cam. When Jay heard this he didn't like or accept his sons sexual preference and felt awkward to talk to him and didn't like the thought of his son being married to Cam. It is much like Lord Capulet not accepting or appreciating Juliet's wishes in not marrying Paris. Instead of being supportive Jay and Lord Capulet like parents should be towards their children they did the exact opposite.

Act 5 Scene 3
Prompt C:
" Go hence to have more talk of these sad things.
Some shall be pardoned, and some punished,
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo."
I picked this line because it shows how the romantic story of Romeo and Juliet comes to an end in a tragic fashion. As the Capulets and Montagues witness the deaths of Romeo and Juliet they realize their should be no more death and violence towards one another. This line also reveals the true sadness of the story and how Romeo and Juliet's love for each other resulted in death because of their families blood feud.

Act 2 Scene 2 Balcony Scene
Prompt E
Romeo and Juliet's relationship is very complicated because Juliet is a Capulet while Romeo is a Montague. Further into the story this could be a serious problem for the young lovers. When they first meet at Lord Capulet's Ball, they saw each other and it was love at first sight. We can call this love at first sight because they can't stop thinking about each other and can't wait to see each other again. As Juliet goes to sleep she departs saying,

- "Sweet, so would I:
- Yet I should kill thee with much cherishing.
- Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow,
- That I shall say good night till it be morrow."
- Juliet is saying how parting from Romeo is a hard thing to do, but she's also saying how she can't wait until they meet the following morning. I think that their relationship will last for a good amount of time until their family feud interferes with their affair.

As they continue to talk they can both see they are into each other and share a kiss like Spider-Man and Mary Jane.

Refrigerator
Ode to my Fridge
It’s there everyday,
waiting
for the hungry child to open the door,
and cure the everlasting problem of
famine.
It cures all:
sadness,
distress,
and anger.
Leaving residue of a smile.
It also asks for nothing in return.
We take,
and take,
and take,
and eat.
Praying.
Its payment will be all so sweet.
It sleeps all day,
until,
the door is opened,
and a sliver of light is released.
By waking up the fridge,
you will receive a special treat.
