The first connection that came to mind when I read chapters 9- 12 was the story, Romeo and Juliette by William Shakespeare. Both Romeo and Juliette were star crossed lovers and from different tribes in addition, they still loved each other. However, their parents and their tribe members would tell them to stop seeing each other yet, Romeo and Juliette continued. Romeo and Juliette connects to The Chrysalids because of Anne and Alan. Anne had telepathic powers whereas on the other hand, Alan did not. Anne’s whole telepathy group that included David and Rosalinda told Anne to not get married to Alan due to Alan seeing Sophie’s toe and reporting it to the inspector. These remind me of each other because of how they both were from different groups,
In this passage by Friar Laurence, he uses the contrasting ideas of ill and well to show the control Juliet's parents have over her life.
When analysing Romeo and Juliet it becomes apparent that while the two main characters’ lives were said to be predetermined by fate, it is Romeo's deep love for Juliet that acts as the catalyst that sets his fate into motion. Romeo was bound to love juliet but it was Romeo’s deep love for juliet that gets Romeo in to trouble. Additionally, Romeo gets to caught up in the one and only love of his life and when all the sudden it was gone he decided to kill himself. Although Romeo stated, “with love's light wings did I o’erperch these walls”( 2.2.73-75). This would prove that know matter what happens romeo will always go after Juliet/love Juliet. Ultimately, it is Romeo who is to romantic therefor creating the fate for himself and Juliet.
Connections between Act One of Romeo and Juliet plus the song “Seven Nation Army” by The White Stripes are inevitable throughout both. One might make an affiliation, of the following song lyric, to Romeo’s departure from the party after discovering Juliet is a Capulet in Act One; “And the stains comin’ from my blood tell me, “Go back home”,” (Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes). Romeo’s emotions, his blood, and the battle scars left after Rosaline parts ways with Romeo only distresses things much worse when finding out his only true love appears from his only true animosity of a Capulet. The blood that not only stains his emotions with sorrow, confusion, and anger but stains his entire life which he lives in every day. Going home, back
In the play Romeo and Juliet, there are many different connections between my life and the story. But, I have chosen to make one of the most obvious connections in my life, which is my friend Colin and I, connected to Benvolio and Mercutio.

Romeo feels protected and concealed as “The darkness will hide me from them” (Act 2, Scene 2, 75). Juliet often calls for the night to arrive “bring in cloudy night immediately” (act 3, scene 2, 4) as then the lovers can meet in secrecy. Juliet compares Romeo as her day in night “Come, night.
On special occasions, long, floor-length gowns are worn by women as a show of elegance (Leed, Drea). Juliet is to be courted by County Paris, so she dresses her best during the Capulet party. Because of the Capulets elevated social status, the family outfits were made of more expensive fabrics and brighter colors. As dictated by the Sumptuary Laws, only families of higher ranks were allowed to wear crimson, gold, black, silver, and white colors (Hanson, Paige), so during the Capulet party, Juliet wears a white gown, to symbolize purity and virtue (“The Color White”), with gold embroidery displayed on the forepart of the dress. The gown is made of silk and velvet fabrics which is good for elegant gatherings and ruffs and sleeves are made of

In Act 1, Scene 1, through lines 150 to 251, Shakespeare explores the theme of love by introducing Romeo, a character with a cliché personality, in the dialogue between Romeo and Benvolio. An example of this is the use of military language by Romeo, when talking about Rosaline, which manages to convey a sense of insecurity and danger about love, and in turn, creates a sort of ridiculous perception of the characters' love for the audience. Romeo says, "siege of loving terms,/ Nor bide th' encounter of assailing eyes," (1.1.204-205) this shows that Romeo uses cliché language - violent and degrading to another person to refer to them as wild, which was commonly used in marriages during Shakespeare's times - to refer to his loved one, just like
Juliet displays many of the qualities of an ideal woman through her words and actions. In act one, scene three, Juliet prominently stands out as a respectful, pure, and obedient, young girl for many reasons.

Furthermore in the conversation, Lady Capulet begins to bring up Paris, a young bachelor interested in Juliet’s hand in marriage. Since, a daughter had little to no say in her marriage, such a decision was left up to her parents.
