The Last Moments Of Romeo And Juliet

Introduction - "A Pair of Star-Crossed Lovers Take Their Life"



What were the events that led deaths of the two lovers, Romeo and Juliet?
State basic information of who, what, when, where, why, how.

Romeo and Juliet were the child of a Montague and a Capulet.The people that led the death of Romeo and Juliet were their parents because their parents both had rage on each other. They both commited suicide in the tomb of the Capulets. They killed them self by drinking a poisan drink and the other killed herself by stabbing herself. They also killed themself because Romeo was banished from Verona and Juliet faked her death to go with Romeo, but Romeo thinks she dead so he commits suicide. Then Juliet find Romeo dead so then she stabbs herself with his knife to go with him.

Romeo Profile

Romeo is a boy that his parents are Montague and he is also the only child. Romeo is 18 years old that is going with a younger girl. His personality is that he doesnt like getting in trouble and also likes Juliet when he sees her. His friend Mercutio and his cousin are associated with him because they to parts together and I think that they think of Romeo of being their brother to protect him everytime. To protect him when he gets in trouble.

Juliet Profile



Juliet is a girl that her parents are Capulets and she is the only child. Juliet is 12 years old and she is with a older boy. Her personality is that she really doens't like listening to her mom and she likes Romeo when she sees him. She is associated with her cousin Tybalt and her Mother and the Nurse, and her Father and they think of her that they think she likes Paris but she likes Romeo. They think that she is getting marry with Paris.


The Nurse says:

"I can't beleive that this has happened to my poor Juliet! I shouldn't have accepted this that she should love Romeo, and I should her from the beginning to not get with Romeo because he is a Montague, and to tell her to get with Paris instead."

Benvolio says:

" How could this happen to Romeo if he doesn't get in trouble much, and he is quiet guy how could he die."

Consequences

I think that the prince will punish them by if next time there is another fight brawl they will get banned from Verona. I think that the people that should be in trial for the death of Romeo andJuliet is Lord Capulet because if Juliet wouldn't to get marry with Paris she was going to get kick out of her own house so she fake her death to go with Romeo.

MERCY KILLING

1a)In george's perspective he thoght by killing Lennie there won't be anymore trouble. The other thing that Lennie will be happy where he is going is heaven or hell. So Lennie couldn't get in trouble everytime he tries to do something good or tries to talk to someone.

1b)I think that it wasn't the best hing because Lennie is mentally sick. Lennie could have gone to a special institution. The other thing that Lenniecould have done was not to work. It is better Lennie to not work because he might do something wrong and mess up everything in the job.

2a) I think one of the reasons of what he did because he didn't want to see her daughter in a vegetative no more.The other reason was to make her est in peace. The last thing was that its been 17 years and she wasn't woken up.

2b) I do agree with his action on her daughter unplugging the feeding tubes. If he wouldn't unplug the feeding tubes h e would still pay money for her. I would do the same because I wouldn't want to see my daughter like a a vegetative stage.

3a) I think that Mr. Lupoe was paranoid that he lost his job. The other was that his wife lost her job too and they both couldn't find a job and pay the house. So he thought killing himself and his family would be the solution.

3b) I think that they could the children to keep doing good in school to not be in this crisis. The other thing is to keep going to school then graduate and get a good job after high school or college.

4) My views on euthanasia is that Mice and Men and the other two article both do or different euthanasia. Like in Mice and Men, George probably got tired of Lennie getting in trouble just for nothing. In the first article about a man unplugging the feeding tubes of her daughter that was in a vegetative stage. He got tired of seeing her daughter in that stage. In the second article the man was probably depressed of losing his job and didn't think of another solution so he thought killing his family was the solution.

MICE AND MEN

1)Was it OK for George to encourage Lennie to fight Curley? Could there have been another solution? If so, be clear about what that solution might have been.

I think that is was okay because so Lennie could defends him self when anybody wants problems with him or when they are bullying. I think that there could have be another solution. the other solution could have been to talk to each other.

2)It's true that Lennie doesn't TRY to get into trouble, but he always does anyway. Considering this, do you think Lennie should be working at all? Should he be in a special institution away from society?

It is true that Lennie trys not to get on trouble but he still gets in trouble because he is mentally challenged. He should not work at that condition he is in. Lennie should be in special institution away from the society and should not work.

3)Curley is a boss like his dad, which is probably why he has to be mean to his workers. Without being aggressive and showing his power, do you think would he still get respect from his workers?

If he didn't show aggressive or power Curly won't get respect. He won't get respect because everybody would think he is a wimp. Then everbody would do whatever they want when they are working.

4)In your opinion, do you think it's OK that Curley's Wife flirts with Slim?

In my opinion it is not okay because slim gets jealous when she is flirty with other guys when they are working.
