The deaths of Romeo and Juliet

Author: Andrew Cabrera



Introduction: In the city of Verona there are two families that have had some differences in the past. The two families are the Capulets and the Montagues. From ancient grudge the two families have always hated each other. Then Romeo went to a capulet party with some of his friends and there he saw Juliet and he felt like he was in love again. Then Romeo and Juliet got secretly married. Then a tragedy happened Romeo was banned and both of them were sad because they thought they wouldn't see each other anymore. Then Juliet took something that the frior gave her so her family can think she was dead. After that another tragedy happened Romeo actually thought she was dead so he drank poisen then Juliet woke up and saw him dead so then she killed herself for real.



Romeo's profile: Romeo is the son of Lord Montague. He is 16 years old. The thing I know about him is that he likes to take risks because he married Juliet and his family didn’t allow that. His personality is intelligent and sensitive. Benvolio is associated with Romeo because he is Romeo’s cousin and his close friend.

Juliet’s profile:
Juliet is daughter to Lord Capulet. She’s 12 years old. She’s like Romeo she likes to take risks, and her personality is that she use to follow the rules therefore you can call her a good girl until she fell in love with Romeo. When she fell in love with Romeo she broke a rule because she married an enemy. The nurse would associated the most with Juliet, Juliet would tell the nurse everything.

Statements from the Nurse
The nurse was interviewed after the tragedy and she said: "I knew it was a bad idea to let Juliet marry Romeo. I should have never helped Juliet get married with a Montague. It was all my fault that Juliet killed herself just because Romeo was died. Now I regret talking to the frior to get both Romeo and Juliet married."

Statements from Benvolio
Benvolio was interviewed after the tragedy and he said: " Come on Romeo don't worry about Roseline there are other girls. Thats why we should go and crash the Capulets party, it will take your mind off Roseline. I think it was a good thing I took Romeo to the party because he started to like Juliet and forgot about Roseline. Then he thought Juliet was actually died so he killed himself.

Consequences
The Prince was punish them by making them have peace between each other. Who even broke it would be ban like Romeo. The Nurse and the Frior would be the people that would be on trial. The reason is because they were the only people that knew they were married. Also because they help them plan the wedding and the frior got them married. Therefore the Nurse and Frior would be the people I would put on trial.

View on Euthanasia

I don't think mercy killing is a legitimate way of ending someones life. But I'm guessing some people think mercy killing is a legitimate way of ending someones life, for example murderers always have a Luger when they want to kill someone. When the do they wear a mask or something to cover their face so they can be anonymous so if they are not successful the person who they tried to kill will not be able to identify them. When the murderer would go kill someone they always do it in surprise because if they go up to someone that person is more likely to yammer. I am sometimes against euthanasia because its just like abortion its still consider killing someone. But some people are drawn to believe that its a right thing to do. But i also promote euthanasia because there is a lot of people prefer to die that to live.

"Mercy" Killing

1) Reflecting on of mice and men

a) In the book Of mice and men, the character George shoots what you can call his "best friend" in the head to end his life. The reason why George killed Lennie is because if he didn't do it the Curley would have to do it. But George doesn't want curley to do it because he knows Curley would torture Lennie before he kills him.

b) I think what George did was the best thing for Lennie. The reason why is because George didn't want Lennis to suffer. He was going to suffer if Curley would find him, Curley would make Lennie suffer before he kills him since Lennie killed his wife.


2) Father in Italy Accused of Murder


a)"Late last year, 67-year-old Beppino Englaro, won an intense 10-year legal battle to allow his daughter's feeding tubes to be removed, saying that was her wish."

The reason why he did that was because he said that would be what his daughter would want. To the man he doesn't see it as murder i think to him he thinks he did something right. He thinks he did something right because if i was him i would think that my daughter would be suffering so I would just remove the feeding tube so she would not suffer anymore.

b)"Late last year, 67-year-old Beppino Englaro, won an intense 10-year legal battle to allow his daughter's feeding tubes to be removed, saying that was her wish."

I think that was the best thing to do for his daughter. The reason why is because she's pretty much dead the only thing that was keeping her alive was the feeding tubes. So thats why I think he wanted to remove the feeding tubes not only because he didn't want to see her suffering but also because that would be what she wanted.

c) Yes I agree with what he did. I agree because if she was pretty much dead might as while just remove the feeding tubes so she can die. And if that would be her wish to remove the feeding tube then I would do it so she will not be suffering.

Lord of the Flies



I picked Tupac as Ralph. In the story Ralph was a leader and I think tupac could of been a leader if he was still alive. Ralph also wanted things to go his way and i think tupac was the same way. I also read a book on tupac and it said that he would never back down from anything or anyone and read was like that in the story. Also in the story Ralph and Jack didn't get along so thats why I picked Biggie Smalls to be Jack. Well I don't know why tupac and biggie didn't get along but i think it pretty much start in the rap business. Tupac was also pretty smart and Ralph was smart to.




I picked Biggie Smalls as Jack. Biggie Smalls is like Jack because he tries to be the leader when he is not and thats one of the reasons why him and tupac didn't really get along. I also think that Biggie could of been stubborn and thats how Jack is. Jack is like Biggie because just like tupac he would not back down from anything or anyone and thats wht Jack was one of the hunters in the story. Since him nor Ralph didn't back down from anything that was a main reason why they would be in the same page and always bumping heads. And thats why Jack was always trying to become the leader. Both biggie and jack were really smart thats why i picked him to be Jack.


The person i picked to be piggy is Peter Griffin from family guy. I picked Peter because thats how piggy would look if he was older. The reason why they look alike is because both Peter and piggy wear and need their glasses. Another thing they had in common is that they were not skinny. They also had the same roles from example piggy was never the leader and if you see family guy you will see that his wife is usually the one in charge.





I picked Larry Fitzgerald to be Simon. I picked Larry Fitzgerald because they both have things in common for example Larry Fitzgerald is not in charge of the football team that he plays for but he will soon and Simon was not the chief or the leader but he can. They might not be leaders or a chief but they still do their jobs. They also make sure they the other kids and/or the players do their job. But for Simon it wouldnt happened because they killed him because they thought he was the beastie.



I put Jason as Roger. I picked Jason because he is known to kill and Roger is now known because he killed piggy in the movie. They are the same because Roger wasn't always bad he turned bad when he joined Jacks tribe. And Jason wasn't always bad either he turned bad because he was always getting bullied.




These guys would play the beasties.



If i was the director I would change the story for example I would change the location the movie will take place in Mexico. This place would be better because they wouldn't has to make shelter because theres places to live already. Another thing I would change is that no one will save them they just need to work together and find a way to go back home.
