Melissa Young 8th Period Assignetment On Page 96 In Spring Board Book *READ BOTTOM OF MESSAGE FIRST*

Melissa Young 8th Period January 7th, 2011 In every conflict there is always two sides; for example, Juliet in "Romeo and Juliet". Juliet is faced with a very deep, and very complicated decision to make; leaving her with a major conflict within herself. She has two choices, one of which is to run off with her "star crossed lover (Romeo)", or to obey her father the man that helped to give her life. If she goes with Romeo , Juliet's' father and her whole family will disown her and she would be ban from her home forever, but she would be happy with her one true love. On the other hand if Juliet were to obey her fathers rule she would be able to stay in her home, but she would never be able to be happy with the man she truly loves. In her case its more of a battle of happiness. The start of this conflict within Juliet's heart and mind began at her masquerade. She was supposed to be getting to know the prince because he was soon to become her husband, but the boys who had snuck in from the Montague house including Romeo had "crashed" the party. Romeo caught eye of Juliet and made endless attempts to dance with her get her alone know who she was and so on and so forth. He soon came to know that she was Capulet's daughter. He knew he wanted her and she wanted him so he tried everything in his power to see her without being killed. He got her to fall in love with him with all his charm and sweet talk and she wanted to marry Romeo not Prince Escalus, but since the Montague's and the Capulet's were at feud since before Romeo and Juliet were born, they were not even allowed to speak to each other let alone get married to each other. She was left with a choice cross her fathers house law or be with the one she loved. This conflict sounds simple just to talk to the parents but that is not so easy back in those days. She made a plan to solve this conflict to where she wouldn't have to choose it would just happen but it had gone very wrong. Her plan was to send a letter to Romeo by servant due to she cannot leave the house, and he was ban from the city for fighting and killing Tybalt. The letter was supposed to read that she would be laid in the Capulet crypt but she would not be dead she would merely be sleeping. Since this message never made its full way to Romeo in time, he thought she was really dead. He went back to the Capulet crypt and went to visit her grave. As he stood there and saw what he thought was his loves dead body, he drank poison and committed suicide to be with his one true love and die next to her. When she awoke she found Romeo dead next to her coffin. She Kissed his lips just to make sure there was no more poison left on them to kill her too, and when there wasn't any there she took his dagger from his waist belt and stabbed herself to death. They died together but it did not work out for more of the better or the worst. This conflict is one of the biggest conflicts in this tale. It contributes to the story as a whole showing that you really cant have everything and nothing really can be perfect. This is shown by Juliet's plan going so very wrong. She could not keep her name as a Capulet and be with Romeo so she devised a plan that would make this "perfect" in a way to where she can be with Romeo. As you know that didn't play out to well, they both ended up together yes but only in death. It also shows how fate is supposed to work. Meeting Romeo was by accident and was not meant to happen neither was kissing him or dancing with him or even falling in love with him, it just happened. That is truly how fate is supposed to work, your not supposed to look for it your just supposed to run into it on accident.                     Mr Winfrey,       I do not have a printer at the moment, and i do not know if i will be in school tomorrow or not. I went to the doctors to find out i have brocitis, and i do not feel well still.
