Lord Capulet and Count Paris are walking together through the streets of Verona. Paris expresses his wishes to marry his daughter, Juliet, and Capulet says the marriage is fine but his daughter may be a little too young for him. Lord Capulet then sets his servant out with a list of names to people invited to his party. The servant realizes he's illiterate and seeks help, only to bump into Romeo and Benvolio. Romeo reads out the list to the servant and finds out Rosaline is going to the party, so he decides to go to the party himself.
Prompt C:
1. Paris- What is your incentive on marrying Juliet? How will it benefit you?
2. Lord Capulet- Why would you ask your illiterate servant to find people whose names are on a list?
3. Benvolio and Romeo- Why haven't you realized that going to the party is dangerous if anyone realizes you're part of the Montague family?
4. Romeo- What makes Rosaline stand out more than other women that you've seen before? Is it because she won't love you back?
5. Paris- Are you frustrated with Lord Capulet? Are you impatient in his two-year delay on your marriage with Juliet?
Prompt E:
This image of fire represents Romeo's decision to come to the Capulet's party. Fire can be tamed and used for beneficial purposes, like how Romeo thinks he can make use of this party to meet with Rosaline. However, fire is also dangerous if out of control; the consequences of Romeo being caught at the Capulet's party may be fatal because of the rivalry between both families.
I like your image because it represents Romeo at the Capulet's' party. This shows how dangerous it is for him to show up because this is his rivals house. His decision is very controversial, but he would do anything for his love.
ReplyDeleteI can admire how you use fire in prompt E. It was creative how you explained the risky, but also rewarding situation of the Capulet party and integrating it smoothly into the image of fire.
ReplyDeleteI had the same question for Paris, I was suspicious of why he wanted to marry Juliet so quickly. How does he benefit from the marriage?
ReplyDeleteWell done Derek. I like greatly the way you explained the significance of your photo. Do you think fire is more dangerous or beneficial?
ReplyDeleteI'd say fire is more dangerous because it can burn something more easily than it can cook it.
DeleteI really like your questions, especially the one about Paris. Althogh we never get Paris' actual age, it seems that most of the men his age in this book are already married.
ReplyDeleteI like you picture because the symbol represents the benefits and risks of fire, just as Romeo looks at the benefits and risks of going to the party.
