Act 5 Scene 3- Regrets

Prompt C:

Romeo says "Wilt thou provoke me? then have at thee, boy!" In my opinion, this line shows that Romeo has been through so much throughout the past day, and he has no nerves left to deal with Paris. It has gotten to the point where he is so mad and sad, etc. that he fights Paris, and eventually kills him. After he kills him, Romeo quickly regrets what he does, which shows that his emotions overcame him, which is why he did it.

Act 3 Scene 5- Father or Husband?

Prompt A

In Act 3 Scene 5, Lord Capulet is set on the fact that he wants Juliet to marry Paris. The only problem is, she is already married to Romeo, and loves him, but her father does not know that. Juliet begs Lord Capulet not to forcer her to marry Paris, but her father becomes very angry and threatens to never speak to her again if she does not obey by his demands. This reminds me of girls in mostly Middle Eastern countries such as Afghanistan where their fathers set their marriages, with people that may be 40 years older then them, and they have never met before.

Act 3 Scene 1- Forest Fire

Prompt D:

This forest fire represents the relationship between Tybalt, Romeo, and Mercutio. Something started their little feud, and at first it wasn't bad. In the beginning, the hate for one another was a little match. But as the continual hate grew, they eventually fought, remaining with only one standing (Romeo). This is similar to a forest fire, because forest fires usually spread very fast, like the hate of the three men. The fire is almost uncontrollable, and if it does stop, a lot of damage is left.  

Act 2 Scene 4: Begging on His Hands and Knees

Prompt F

I so dearly hope that Friar Lawrence will agree to wed Juliet and I. I love her with all my heart, from the second I saw her. She is the one I want to marry, the one I want to be bound to. If only she was not a Capulet, and I was not a Montague. But all I really want is to be with my beloved Juliet

Act 2 Scene 2: Unconditionally In Love

Prompt E

The relationship between Romeo and Juliet can be relatable to some people, but not to most. The reason it cannot be extremely relatable is because these two characters fell in love at first sight, and although we see it very often in movies, it does not happen in real life. The two meet at a party and the first time they lock eyes they fall in love, and they are inseparable. Romeo sneaks into Juliet's house at night, and neither stops thinking about the other. I find it not very relatable, because I don't believe in love at first sight, but I guess it could happen.

Act 1- Questionable Love

Prompt B

Romeo- How do you move on so quickly from Rosaline, who you loved to such a high extent, to Juliet?

Juliet- How is it possible that you fell in love with Romeo just from looking at him?

Montague- Why do you hate the Capulets so much?

Capulet- Don't you find it ridiculous that you continuously hate Montague, just because you had an ancient feud?

Nurse- Does it bother you that Juliet is in love with her most hated enemy?

I am his shadow,

following  behind him

I am a fish, and he is a shark

bigger, stronger than me

I am the puppet and he is the puppet master

controlling every thing I do

I feel smaller than him

every day he makes me

smaller

and smaller

and smaller

I miss the days

when I didn’t feel alone

“I love Jalil”

And I love Nana too

And I wish they could be here with me

So that I am no longer alone

In this cold, unappealing house.
