 Written on February 20, 2007 Summary: romeo and juliet version. mo student review by mahed m. The story is about 2 young people who are in love. And there parents hate each other, and that effect show much time spend together, I personally think that your parents have an effect on how u live. But I guess in Verona that's not how it works. But I personally think the movie is better than the book. Because it is shorter and I don't have to pay attention on it.the setting takes place in Verona.  Written on February 20, 2007 Summary: stupid student review by gabriel c Romeo and Juliet is a story about to lovers that meet at first sight. The biggest problem they have together is that both of the families have been fighting and hate each other since they both have been born. It all started when Romeo been depressed ever day moping around and feeling sad all of the time because he loved Rosaline and she did not love him back. So one day Romeos cousin told him about this party and that Rosaline would be there so they left and Romeo saw Juliet there and followed her to her house and both exchanged thoughts about each other and decided that they will get married but secretly. So they had to come up with a plan to pretend that Juliet was died so the can get married and the planned failed and they both ended up killing themselves. Play was very stupid it sucks no one should read it because there is no point of reading this because all this play is taking up your time. Written on February 20, 2007 Summary: R&J-Summary By EricaH Romeo & Juliet is a romance novel. It's a story that will make your heart sink. This magnificent couple had such a strong love for each other. It was so strong that they died together. In the beginning it was crazy how they are enemies and they want to be together but it's hard to because what they are doing is wrong to their families. At the ending they died together with their love stronger than ever, it's a heartbreaking story, wishing that they would live happily ever after. I really enjoyed this story, although I do wish that they could have lived to be together and in love.  Written on January 21, 2007 Summary: A Wonderfully Written Play About Idiots To get to the point, I really hated Romeo and Juliet. While the lines, though archaic, were extremely well-written, I found myself hating most of the characters. I really didn't like the way Romeo was so in love and so heart broken by Rosaline, and then, in the miracle of an instant, fell in love with her cousin, Juliet. It makes it seem like Romeo was either making a mountain out of a molehill about his feelings for Rosaline or else Juliet was his rebound, and all the much better because she was young and naive (as girls who aren't yet 14 tend to be) and therefore eager to return his affections. And then, aside from how quickly they fall in 'love', there is the matter of their suicide. Honestly, even if it was true love, Juliet was an idiot to kill herself for him, and he was an idiot to kill himself in the first place. They had potiental to be things or do things in their lives, and although that potential was stunted by the times, it was still there, but wasted for the price they wanted to pay for love. They might have been star-crossed lovers because of their feuding families, but they only exacerbated the situation with their rash (and stupid) actions. The language is great, though. I thought it was particularly amusing that some of the lines were written in blank verse while others rhymed; it signified the importance of the lines that did rhyme, underlining key points. I had to read this in school years ago and hated it, then reread it recently to see if I liked it any better. I didn't, so read it at your own risk. Written on December 4, 2006 Summary: Immortal Story Presented So Anyone Can Understand The Vocabulary Of course this is an immortal story that has been read for centuries and at least one beautiful motion picture has been based on it. But, I guess I'm a "dunce" because I never could understand much of the dialogue. "What he say?" was my reaction to much of it. But, I discovered these Folger Shakespeare Library editions that have the dialogue as written by Shakespeare in Elizabethan English on the right side of the page and the "translations" and explanations on the left. Wow! That format makes it very easy to enjoy this book without going to a dictionary every 90 seconds or so! And, for teachers, I think they'll be overjoyed when they see the positive results they could get in class! If you have any opinions about this edition please email boland7214@aol. |
