Studying The Culinary Art Half My School Day

In this essay I shall be explaining why William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet belongs in the ninth-grade curriculum. Romeo and Juliet should attend the ninth-grade curriculum because of these three reasons. The first reason is that ninth-graders are at the age where they start to catch feelings for each other and if they read Romeo and Juliet they can stop and think about the people they are catching feelings for. The second reason is that the book has lots of inspirational quotes that I think students can learn from. Finally, William Shakespeare is a great writer and deserves more people to read and learn from his novel.

One might think that masculinity is only a mental and ethical issue, yet throughout the tragic play of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, masculinity proves to be a two headed beast that not only is a mental but also physical problem. All the way from the beginning in scene 1.1 to the final scene of act 5, there was constant conflict occurring with short breaks of love and triumph collapsed by more ensuing conflict. Furthermore, a majority of this clash between the two families, Capulets and Montagues, was indirectly or directly evoked by the masculine behavior exerted by the men in the story. All things considered, the tragedy where two lovers upon many others meet their ultimate fate of death would have never been a tragedy without all of the masculinity that all of the men characters seem to exude. All throughout this essay, it will become more apparent that the idea of the internal and external need for masculinity in the men has consequently kindled the fire of conflict between the Montagues and Capulets in the tragedy because of the status quo, disrespect for women, and mindset of a masculine man.

In this essay, I will take a gander at the play of Romeo and Juliet. I will examine how Shakespeare has utilized dialect in the play for symbolic impact. I will also see how Shakespeare has displayed love and the path in which Romeo and Juliet converse with each other, I might choose whether their affection was genuine and discuss their parents differentiating perspectives and conclusions. I will likewise remark on the play's pertinence today and perceive how Shakespeare has utilized dramatic devices and structures to improve the discussion between the youthful lovers. All throughout the play, there is a consistent theme of love and destiny, I will be dissecting this subject and show how it influences Romeo and Juliet.

In William Shakespeare’s play “Romeo and Juliet”, Shakespeare presents characters in difficult situations in Romeo and Juliet through various language techniques and structure. Romeo and Juliet were star-crossed lovers. Both Romeo and Juliet were from feuding families that would not approve of their marriage. In the play they are presented with many difficult circumstances. The play was set in the Elizabethan era; there was a significant change in religion, family and politics. Attitudes and key scenes highlight the theme of love in difficult circumstances and prepare the audience for Romeo and Juliet’s suicides at the end of the play. In this essay I will be exploring the ways Shakespeare presents characters in difficult situations.

I’ve demonstrated unusual academic ability since elementary school. During my time at River Oaks Elementary, an International Baccalaureate school, I enjoyed and excelled in the Gifted and Talented program. My second-grade teacher told my parents at the end of the year that in his opinion I already knew all the material that I would learn in third grade. Therefore, he recommended that I skip the grade entirely. Although my parents didn’t let me skip third grade, I continued to challenge myself. I asked for extra homework and devoured half the books in the library in my spare time. My wonderful teachers let me work at an accelerated pace and gave me higher level problems to keep me interested and enthusiastic about school. Similarly, my eighth-grade Spanish teacher strongly recommended that I skip Spanish II and head straight to Spanish III my freshman year. This time, I was old enough to express my desire to accelerate my learning; I urged my parents to let me skip the class and reassured them that I wouldn’t be too overwhelmed. They trusted my judgement, and I’m so thankful that I made this decision. I borrowed my teacher’s book over the summer and pored over it for an hour every day until I was confident in my abilities. It was intimidating walking into the sophomore- and junior-filled class on that first

Derived from the potent lessons that one should learn throughout their childhood and adolescence from parental figures is the concept of a moral compass; when one lacks this sense of guidance it can dramatically affect their ability to form a sound sense of judgment which could expose them to unfavourable consequences. In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the theme that when young people face a lack of parental guidance the effects can be detrimental to their futures is demonstrated comprehensively. The first reason for the tragic outcome of the play can be traced back to the selfishness of several supporting characters that bear significant roles in the coming of age of both Romeo

An infinite amount of children believe that Shakespeare is meaningless and is too difficult for them to read. Those many adolescents read the book for school, earn retched grades, do not understand the story, do not ask questions, and allow themselves to fail, all because they think that Shakespeare is pointless. For those who read it know how beautifully Shakespeare catches teen romance in Romeo and Juliet. Some might say that they know what all of the teenagers of the world are going through, but really when one becomes an adult they begin to think differently. When doctors and other officials tell a teenager that they know what they are going through, that man or woman, most likely, cannot recollect what it was like as a teen. One wonders

Juliet is not unlike the typical young women constantly struggling to find happiness and acceptance from those who are closest to her. Young Juliet must confront the harsh reality that exists between her and those who profess to be her friends and family, which is they failed to support her, love her, and lift her up with she needed it most. In the timeless book, “Romeo & Juliet” William Shakespeare writes a moving story about the betrayal, disappointment, love, and eventual death of Romeo and Juliet. No reader can truly appreciate and understand the level of Juliet’s struggles without first understanding the roles the Lord Capulet, Friar Lawrence and Romeo, their betrayal and their role in her faithful decision.

First of all, the work of William Shakespeare still applies to present day life. Sometimes people may not realize but some situations and events are much like Shakespeare plays. For instance, a young girl killed herself and then days later her boyfriend also committed suicide. This love tragedy is nearly parallel to “Romeo & Juliet”, a play by Shakespeare. Another example of Shakespeare’s relevance to present day life is the fact that his work teaches life lessons. A lesson that is taught in “Romeo & Juliet” is that communication saves relations, If the Capulets and Montagues were willing to talk out their differences then Tybalt wouldn’t have died. This proves that ninth graders can learn from Shakespeare, the play emphasizes the importance of communicating verbally when it comes conflict instead of using violence. Overall Shakespeare offers ninth graders the roadmap to the human at an

There is no denying that Shakespeare is a definitive playwright. He has presented us with classic works that have set the precedent for drama and the theatre. Among Shakespeare’s more notable plays are his tragedies. In the tragedy his protagonists are often given flaws in their character and hence, are suitably named tragic heroes. The downfall of these protagonists is often a result of their own character flaws and unfortunately, they suffer a doomed and unhappy ending. While the tragic hero is flawed they must also be honorable and worthy of the audience’s understanding and sympathy. On a quest for righteousness the tragic hero often goes through immense suffering which is why the audience can feel bad for him. For the most

William Shakespeare wrote many plays, including Romeo and Juliet. The real title of the play is The Extraordinary and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet takes place Verona in the mid-1300’s. The idea of identity heavily impacts the story of Romeo and Juliet. By the end of the play, family affiliation, gender, social class, and age all contribute to the tragedy of the play. Today’s idea of identity is drastically different than the 1300’s, but at the same time, they are very much the same.

I first knew Romeo as a young child, introduced to a family in a brutal, durable fight with the Capulet family. Throughout the years, I served as an educator to him. He would regularly come to my cell to trust his issues to me. It was through these discussions that I got to know him and imparted upon him the essentials of life. I taught him to neglect the contention between his family and the Capulets, and to dependably obtain new companions, not rivals. Romeo ended up being an amiable, kind, and young fellow. He was likewise an extremely singular young fellow; he would preferably take strolls alone through the sycamore trees than circled by his companions.

I was in the best of settings when I realized that Shakespeare was indeed great. My freshman year in high school, I had English class with an esteemed teacher, Mr. Broza—hailed as the Paul D. Schreiber High School Shakespeare aficionado, founder of Schreiber’s Annual Shakespeare Day, and, perhaps most heart-warming of all, a self-proclaimed Shakespeare lover whose posters of The Bard could be found as wallpaper in his small office. How lucky I thought I was. Indeed, if I wanted to appreciate Hamlet, I was in the right hands.

Shakespeare’s employment of dramatic struggle and disillusionment through his character Hamlet, contributes to the continued engagement of modern audiences. The employment of the soliloquy demonstrates Shakespeare’s approach to the dramatic treatment of these emotions. The soliloquy brings a compensating intimacy, and becomes the means by which Shakespeare brings the audience not only to a knowledge of secret thoughts of characters, but into the closest emotional touch with them too. Through this, the audiences therefore gain a closer relationship with Hamlet, and are absorbed by him because they are able to resonate with his circumstances, as he is faced with enduring truths of the human condition. Through these, the struggle and

This essay will discuss several literary criticisms of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. After skimming through several articles, I ended up with four peer-reviewed journal articles, each a different critical perspectives of the play: feminist, psychoanalytical/freudian, moral, and new historicism. My previous studies of Hamlet, as well as my rereading of the play this semester, has collectively given me a general knowledge of the text. My familiarity of the play made it easier for me to decipher the academic journals and see the connections each critic made with the play.
