Figure1 These days we have all kinds of gizmos and gadgets and a thousand ways to communicate with all our emails, phones, text messages and what not, Clearly no one has the time to pick up a pen, write a letter and post it and obviously no one even has the patience to wait for it to be delivered. We all live in a Hi-Tech savvy world where no one believes in simple and olden traditions. Its all about high speed Wi-Fi and E-cards and not to forget a global want for Internet. …show more content…

But today’s generation would rather agree to disagree because why would you want to send a hand written Christmas card when you could just send a virtual Santa Claus waving through the Internet E-card system? Is it the same thing? Can a letter and an email have the same kind of emotions involved while opening

    Shakespeare Essay Some people think that teaching Romeo and Juliet in the ninth grade is too hard or deep. Some people think that Romeo and Juliet is good to teach in the ninth grade to learn life lessons. My view on teaching Romeo and Juliet is good to teach in the 9th grade because it is a good coming of age story and helps learn about life. One reason I think that Romeo and Juliet is good to teach in ninth grade is because it helps young students to learn about life such as love, and how it can destroy or help someone in love. It is also relevant to teenage boys and girls that are going through problems in the 9th grade.

  • Essay On Romeo And Juliet's Death

    915 Words  | 4 Pages

    In my opinion I think that the feud between the two main families, the Capulets and the Montagues, is the most responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s death. The conflict between these two families is so distasteful that it causes Romeo and Juliet even more of a struggle as they try to find and keep their love. This conflict between the Capulets and the Montagues has been going on for a very long time and neither side is willing to make up for whatever may have happened in the past. Because of this a strong dislike is portrayed when someone sees a person from the opposite side. If the family feud wouldn’t have existed Romeo and Juliet would not have any large reason to hide their relationship.

In William Shakespeare's, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo and Juliet die from miscommunication between the characters, not fate.
