Answer 35

Write an original poem. Your goal is to continue connecting “Romeo and Juliet” with the song you chose for Part A of this assignment. Now you are going to be the songwriter, or poet, and create your own song or poem. Your original poem should continue to explore your thoughts on the similarities between “Romeo and Juliet” and the song you chose. If the characters of both were similar, you can create two more characters that have those similarities as well. If the main idea or theme was similar, your poem can have that same main idea or theme too. Your poem should be between 10-20 lines in length.

Answer 36

Answer 37

Oh, that wasn't fun haha um basically there's no wrong way you can dothat becuase you r teacher can't really say oh you suck at writing poems haha just put some work into it

Answer 40

But, your teacher can't actually say that to you so that's good. I just compared love to things like to bad things but then to good things to show the good outweighs the bad if that makes sense

Answer 41

it does

Answer 42

Okay, so don't do that exactly haha especially if you have Mrs. Pote as your teach

Answer 43

"Wise men say only fools rush in ..."

Remember the people in Romeo and Juliet who advise them not to rush into their romance, saying it would be foolish?

"But I can't help falling in love with you ..."

Romeo and Juliet feel they have no control over their feelings; it's like they're being washed away by a flood. This is very common when people experience love for the first time -- it can be overwhelming. The biggest thing the song and the play have in common is that they're both about how falling in love, particularly for the first time, can make you feel like you're not in control.

"Shall I stay, would it be a sin ..."

Romeo and Juliet know their families wouldn't approve. But they can't stop wondering what could be wrong about the way they feel about one another.

These are three examples of how the play and the song relate in theme and meaning; you can think of more. A (pretty bad) couplet that might work in a poem relating the song and the play could be:

"How can people tell me that I shouldn't be with you
When everything I feel inside is wonderful and new?"
