Death cleans up shop in Verona
Prompt B:
With the murder scene at the Capulet Tomb, and the city guard coming rushing to investigate, I can relate to this scene, when there was what we learned after the event to be a false bomb threat at the Statue of Liberty. I remember seeing all the commotion and being evacuated to the boats to go back to the city. While we were at Ellis Island when the alarm went off, we were bombarded by questions from reporters back at the main harbor. My brother, grandparents and I all gave our alibis to the press, my brother's was later used in a broadcast from a local New York news station. While there was no tragedy, as in Romeo and Juliet, I still found the who, what, when, where, why's of the reporters quite relatable to the Friar having to tell the entire story behind Romeo, Juliet, and Paris' deaths
Prompt G:
If I were to step inside of Friar Laurence's shoes, I would feel very nervous, frustrated, and worried. Having learned that my message to Romeo did not go through, the decisions Romeo could make are very unpredictable, and are likely to jeopardize the entire plan. After finding Romeo, Paris, and now a freshly, officially dead Juliet in the Capulet tomb, I am very scared of looking like a criminal, being at the murder scene, with the watch guard approaching. Not to mention, after delivering my alibi to both families, I am quite ashamed of the Capulets and Montagues, as their stupid feud led to the death of Tybalt, Paris, Romeo, and Juliet.
I like how you use empathy to see what life is like for Friar John. I also like how you used the book and what was happening and told us what he would've been feeling.
ReplyDeleteI like how you connected the final scene to something in real life. The scene sounds quite like your description on the evacuation of Ellis island.
