Romeo and Juliet was a very long tedious, story. Besides being assigned parts to read orally, we also listened to it on tape. We practiced finding page numbers based on act, scene and line, and rhyme scheme. Throughout the story, we took various quizzes. Some of them I might have done alright on, but most of them I flat out failed. To me personally, the quizzes were not very helpful in understanding the story. Half the time when we were reading, I was zoned out! My eyes were closed, yet I comprehended the main story line. We watched the movie and are now writing an essay on it. My topic explains why the story involves both an attraction based on lust and love between the "two star-crossed lovers." Reading " Della and Jim" and comparing it to "Romeo and Juliet" was hardcore yesterday. Yet, I liked to write it. Reading gets so boring, I like to hands- on show what I've learned.
Writing this essay is probably my favorite part about this entire chapter. My understanding of the material might not show in a failing test grade, but it can show in my writing. From Romeo and Juliet, I have learned that true love does exist. However, it takes time to find it. Sometimes, love is worth dying for, and you have to follow your heart. Your parents intuition in general and towards you does matter, but does not have to control your life. It cannot.
