Connecting to Romeo and Juliet

     While reading scene 1.4, when Romeo is walking to the party with his friends, I thought of me and my friends. We always seem to be mocking each other and giving each other smart aleck remarks. We just banter back and forth like Romeo and his friends (we’re probably just as over-dramatic, to). So much for the statement that friendships are built on mutual respect. All seriousness aside, though, is mostly how we behave. We can be serious if necessary but how can you have fun without fun? If I, like Romeo, am ever in a bad mood, I can always depend on my friends to cheer me up.

      I believe that I am doing very well reading at home. It’s easy to at least get a general idea of what’s going on. I find the section summaries and definitions are very helpful. However, I still would only understand about half of what is going on and being said if we didn’t read in class. I see many little details that I missed when re-reading the section in class and you explain all of the details I didn’t get when reading. It is very helpful to read in class.
