Act 1 Scene 5: Prompt 3

In the novel, Romeo and Juliet have just met and Romeo has fallen in love with her. He tries to flirt with her but she acts like she is uninterested. She waves him off by saying that her hands are for praying, not kissing, but he keeps going at it, and he gets her to let him kiss her hand. After this, she starts to like him, and lets him kiss her on the lips. They clearly like eachother because Romeo fell in love at first sight, and because Juliet lets him kiss her. Their relationship looks like it will last because she likes him and he likes her, and after the party she asks her nurse who he is. She is told that he is a Montague, but she still likes him, so that shows that even if he is an enemy, she still loves him.

What is Love?

What is Love?

Love is a small bud

growing on a small plant

during the winter season,

cold,

weak,

alone

Until spring comes

it blossoms and grows into a beautiful flower

bright colors, tall stem, the small plant has grown into a large plant

during summer the plant grows some more

taking in sunlight and looking better than ever

But winter returns

the plant shrinks, the flowers die,

and the plant is again a small bud

After the long hard winter, spring visits again

The bud soon grows into a flower again

With many brighter flowers and a longer stem
