As he dies, Paris asks to be laid near Juliet in the tomb, and Romeo consents.

Act 3, Scene 5: Prompt C

Lady Montague and Lady Capulet are two totally different people. Lady Montague tries to understand what her child is going through while Lady Capulet is triggering her daughter to be severely injured (emotionally) and they pressure her most about marrying someone in a given time. Juliet has made the mistake of not telling her family about her loving the man that killed her cousin but she knows that her mother would send her out of the home or do something worse that could have prevented her to ever see Romeo ever again. When Lady Capulet says "Will you cry about your cousin’s death forever? Are you trying to wash him out of his grave with tears? If you could, you couldn’t bring him back to life. So stop crying. A little bit of grief shows a lot of love. But too much grief makes you look stupid." She doesn't understand that she isn't worried about that but then Juliet emotions hit her hard. 

Act 2 Scene 5: Prompt A

• In an orchard at the Capulet place, Juliet waits for the Nurse to come back with a message from Romeo.When the Nurse comes back, she plays a little game by refusing to tell Juliet anything and complaining about her aching back.Finally, the Nurse gives in and tells Juliet to run to Friar Laurence's cell where Romeo is waiting so they can get hitched.Before the scene ends, the Nurse says she'll "fetch a ladder" for Romeo to climb up so the lovers can spend their wedding night together. She also manages to turn her description of Romeo "climbing" the ladder into Juliet's "bird's nest".

Act 2, Scene 4, Prompt B

Mercutio - What's the big deal with protecting Romeo? He's all grown up
Nurse - Why are you taking so long to deliver the message?
Juliet - Why don'y you deliver messages to Romeo yourself?!
Romeo - Why aren't you nice to the Nurse? You seemed harsh.

Prompt A: Act 2 Scene 2: A Familiar Story

The Montagues and the Capulets is something that I can relate to. As a child my friends were really dramatic. Whenever we saw someone we didn't get along with, they always would say something or want to confess something to them. They were somewhat enemies which is basically the story of the two families, until the end of the story.

A Beating Heart

I have felt the butterflies dance,

I have stumbled with my words,

I have blushed at your smile,

but I’ve always wondered where

the line between crushing on

someone and falling in love goes.

I wonder what it’s like

to love someone with

all you’ve got, to no

longer see straight,

and to ache for someone

despite their mistakes.

I wonder what it’s like

to fall for someone,

even for their flaws,

their aggressive moods

and their mysterious hearts.

I wonder what it’s like to

love someone, to allow

someone to have your

heart, to have someone

make your darkest days

seem just a little bit bright.

They say you accept the love

you think you deserve, and I

wonder what love that belongs

to me, and which I accept

and maybe deserve.
