Romeo and Juliet

The relationship between Romeo and Juliet is very unstable.

However, Romeo and Juliet still manage to find a way to love each other despite their family's grievances.

I'll go to Friar to know his remedy. If all else fail, myself have power to die," she is saying that she would rather die than to marry Paris and betray Romeo. She believes that their love can last, and that they can eventually be happily together.

Act 3 Scene 1: Trouble in Verona

Prompt F (Mercutio)

Act 3 Scene 1: Mercutio gets in a fight with Tybalt

This reminds me of how my brother and I are always fighting for something that we each individually believe is right. Although there is never bloodshed in our fights it still resembles the fight between Mercutio and Tybalt because we are fighting to get something we want. We never fight with real weapons and are definitely not sworn enemies. However, we sometimes fight to see who is stronger/better which relates to the scene between Mercutio and Tybalt, especially me being Mercutio. Lastly, the characters spectating the scene from the book like Romeo, and the Capulet servants, connects to my life and are my parents watching us fight for nothing.

It’s 7 a.m. in San Francisco

giving a cold and wintry feeling.

The bridge is covered in a blanket of fog

appearing slowly as we approach.

as faint as a wolf howling from afar.

as seals lay down by the pier.

combining with the fresh ocean air.

The green fields of a park overflow with families and friends,

enjoying the scenic view of the bay.
