  1. Krishna, I like your summary. It tells the reader basically everything that happened. But when you said "...this problem will be dealt with by your father" don't you mean "this problem will be dealt with by her father"? Other than that, you wrote good notes!

  2. I really think your summary accurately depicts what happened in the scene Krishna! I have something for you to think about though, if Juliet did get kicked out where do you think she would have gone to?

  3. I really liked how you incorperated the angered relationship between Juliet and her father. It really shows well what the state of their relationship is when you say the quote, "I tell thee what: get thee to church o'Thursday, Or never after look me in the face. Speak not; do not answer me". Good Job!

  4. Referring to your question, how exactly do you think things will fix themselves when all the facts are exposed?

  5. I liked how your theme said that the problem would fix itself after all facts were exposed, since that was how the Montagues and Capulets finally buried the hatchet. However, do you believe that their newfound peace was worth the price of Romeo and Juliet's death?
