Okay I'm doing Romeo and Juliet in English right now and Shakespeare is really one of my weaknesses, I find it uber pointless and we didnt even get enough class time to finish reading the book, nor finished watching the movie yet. On Monday and Tuesday, we have an in class essay which means that we've been given the essay topic already so we can prepare, but have to do the actual writing in class. I really have next to no clue on what to say, and I was wondering if anyone who's familiar with the story could possibly help me out? Maybe explaining the essay topic since I dont completely understand it, or like some ideas as to what my thesis or body paragraphs could be about? Please and thankyoou, I would be very grateful for any amount of help
The essay topic is: No one may flout the hierarchy with impunity. I understand what the words mean, but not how I'm supposed to write about it in direct relation to Romeo and Juliet.
You should write about how R and J shouldn't of went against their family wishes and loved eachother?
Jesus those three words really confused me. I had to google what "no" "one" and "with" meant!!!
Wow, how ironic. I'm writing an essay as I type this.
But SQUEE! I love Romeo and Juliet! Okay, is the essay supposed to be more inspired by the book or the movie? Because their totally different.
Thanks, wkw :) And yay, Tea to the rescue! Its based on the book ^^
Well that's good, I'm more familiar with the book. I've seen the movie like, once.
So yeah, what Wkw said was basically what I would have said. Really put it into depth. But gosh, "No one may flout the hierarchy with impunity"? And I thought my essay was hard.
If your in doubt, you could always start talking about TS's Love Story. XD
Thanx =) So basically I say that Romeo and Juliet "flouted" the hierarchy by breaking so many rules and acting against their parents wishes and because of that they got what they deserved? That shows how flouting the hierarchy with impunity is not possible since in the end you will pay for your actions? Ugh if yes, its hard enough doing an essay like this but even harder when it goes what you believe in lol.
Ooh how I wish I could talk about Love Story instead, its so much easier and simpler to get. Not to mention that if I'm doing work on something I even somewhat enjoy I usually end up getting a decent mark lol. But if I get really desperate, I shall take your advice to heart and introduce my teacher to the best country artist >:]
Haha, nice. Yeah, from what you've got so far, it sounds like you'll do just fine. If that were only the case with my essay...
Lol Mazei xD. Alright, many thanx, Tea ^^ Whats your essay on, does ya need any help?
Nah, I'm done my essay, thank god. It's about the book I just finished reading for a Novel Study, and it was even harder than that Euthanasia essay I did awhile back. Apparently, my English teacher enjoys assigning essays.
Haha, did you really write that?! That's EPIC!
Glad I could help. Good luck on the essay! ^^ {Oh, btw, what's the word limit?}
Thank you (: And I dont think there's a word limit, its just write as much as you want can within the 2 periods given, which should total approximately an hour and a half of actual writing time.
aww! Lucky! I love the book. Well I've never seen the movie but the book is most likely better. Anyways the dieing seen almost made me cry. XD
