Spring Break Homework: Question #2

I meant to have this question up early this morning, so I apologize to those of you who have been patiently waiting to respond. Since the last two have been pretty lengthy, here is a shorter question for you:

Now that we are through with Act I, make one prediction of what you think may happen in Act II. Keep in mind that Romeo & Juliet is five acts long, so please do not respond with "Romeo and Juliet will die"--that happens in Act V. Please answer in one complete sentence and use proper grammar and spelling!

Spring Break Homework: Question #1

Reread the part in scene four where Romeo & Juliet meet for the first time. Romeo's actions and his speech are very convincing--Juliet is hooked from the start. Using text to support your claim, in what ways is Romeo's language better than a pick up line? What is it about what he says that has Juliet from the first touch of the hand? Do you think you would ever fall for someone using the same attempt on you?
