Conflict in Romeo and Juliet ---l======> <======l--- [those are swords fighting (: ]

        After Tybalt kills Mercutio, that is the last straw for Romeo. Romeo can't going on being nice and refusing to fight. So he gets back at Tybalt by taking his life as Tybalt took his friends life.When the Capulets find out that Tybalt has been killed, Lady Capulet is devastated and she wants Romeo to die as soon as they can find him. She didn't care that Tybalt took a life, all she cared was that she wanted Romeo dead and she wanted him dead then and there. Now Romeo and Juliet's love is really forbidden, there is no way that now they can be together in peace because of what Romeo did. In the paraphrased section above, there are a couple types of the same conflict, person vs. person. The first conflict is Romeo vs. Tybalt, the two are fighting against each other because of the conflict of Tybalt and Mercutio that ended a life. The second conflict is Romeo vs. The Capulets.The Capulets now have total anger towards Romeo because he killed their nephew and now they want his life in return for their loss. This is important because now the chase is on, now the forbidden lovers sneak and try to find ways to meet one another without being seen. This is a big part to the romantic theme, people will do a lot for true love, and it's better to make friends not enemies (:
          In life we all have our problems and conflicts, whether it be a loss of a loved one, a bad grade, parents divorced, moving away, getting in a fight with your gf or bf, losing your best friend, losing your house, and so many more that could be listed off. Everyone and i mean everyone has problems, some just might be smaller or less effective than others. Romeo and Juliet's problem is their love, how it is forbidden and how Romeo is now wanted for death while Juliet is being forced into a marriage. In my life I have had person vs. person conflict so many times. With friends, family members, siblings you name it. My conflicts have never involved death and swords or anything like that but some have ended in fun ways. One time I was sitting in a chair wearing one of my younger sister's socks on. She was freaking out about it, telling me to take it off. I told her to relax and to calm down and that it was fine. That it was just a sock and it wasn't like she needed it for anything special. She kept pestering me and I just laughed and ignored her. She started provoking me and saying that she would take it off if I didn't take it off she would. I asked her playfully if she wanted to go and she said yes. So I stood up and so did she. She came forward (through out all of this, my mom is laughing) and i took her arms, wrapped them around her so she couldn't move, took her legs out from under her and sat on her(: She was laughing so hard because she couldn't move but overall I won.
Everyday I have conflict in my life, if it is big or small it doesn't matter, it is there. In my life, conflict just means another bump in my road that I have to over come and push my way through. People deal with conflict in all different ways. Some people deal with it in violence, some in fun ways (like I did), some in hurting themselves, and some don't deal with it at all. they just ignore them and try to work around the conflict.

Romeo And Juliet: Shiver

Romeo and Juliet, as we all know, has been the base of so many books, songs, movies and more. One of the references I found was a book called Shiver by Maggi Stiefvater. This is a book about a wolf and a girl who are in love but can't be together. He is human during the warm seasons and is a wolf during the cold. He has been watching her since she was a little girl but without her knowing. They can't be together and it's like Romeo and Juliet. Their love is pretty much forbidden by some force of law. In Romeo and Juliet it is their parents and their family feud but in Shiver the couple can't be together because of who and what they are. When Sam, the wolf, is human he and Grace, the girl, are always together. In their town, they have the best connection and it was defiantly love at first sight like our little lovers ( Romeo and Juliet). Both of these novels have main character deaths in the end, and they are both in the tragic category. Overall, these too books are similar in their romance but very different at the same time and they make a nice contrast. 

Romeo And Juliet

          Honestly I absolutely love reading the book in class. I get way way way more out of it and understand everything better. I don't know why but that's how I am with all books. Even the discussions from Great Expectations where better than not talking about the book at all.
          I can connect with the whole parent thing. I would rather have my friends come ask me whats wrong compared to my parents because it is so much easier telling them things that are going on, hard things and etc. There are also just some stuff that you don't tell your parents. You friends are there to support you and your parents as well but it is more difficult to let your parents know whats bothering you. Its nice to have your parents wonder if your okay but if they are on your case all the time about everything it is wonderful to get a break from all their nagging or reminders or "helpful" advice on everything that you do. My parents are mostly always wanting to know whats going on with me, how my day goes, what goes on, to fix something if I mess up and more! Its nice to know that they care but sometimes I just feel overwhelmed by their caring. This kinda relates to the fact that their parents do care about them but not enough to talk to them face to face. I think that they want their parents to show their concern more than through someone else. I love that my parents care for me but they care in uneven areas. I wish that they would care about the things that are important to me rather in some areas where I wish that they could cool off.
          Reading on my own... I'm okay with it. The words on the side help but when we read it aloud in class and when you point out things, I get it almost 100%. It helps me out so much. I do read at home and I can decipher the material but when we do it in class, it helps me catch important or funny concepts that I didn't on my own. I'd say that yes it is getting easier but that is because of the class work.That goal is defiantly being met for me, I mean it helps me out so much and I can't say it any simpler than that. I am not getting any other outside help besides the information on the left pages. Sometimes I will read out loud and that just makes it enjoyable for me because it's like my own little play and I can make voices and etc, and I am a dork in that way where I would read the lines as if I was acting it out. I also will read to my little sister but they don't get it so they end up walking away :/ but oh well (:
