PROMPT B

Romeo and Juilets separation reminds me of the Syrian refugee crisis. In the Syrian Refugee crisis familys(and lovers) have been torn apart by civil warl. The civil war is similar to the constant fighting of the Montagues and Capulet. The prince is similar to the U.N. in the sense that he tries to stop the fighting but does not achieve his goal often. His decree that anybody who fought on the streets again would be killed is similar to the U.N.'s chemical weapons stance in Syria. Friar Lawrence is similar to aid agency's , because he tries to help both Romeo and Juliet and provides a safe haven for both of them.
