Update on Swagger, and why I am enjoying Romeo and Juliet
In my book "Swagger," Jonas Dolan is currently trying to help Levi (his new friend) receive a good grade in his classes. After a lot of thought, Jonas decided to try to tutor Levi. Jonas made this decision when he saw Levi trying to write down everything the teacher said. He also noticed that he was not doing well in school. Levi was struggling with understanding what the important concepts were to study for tests. When Levi told Jonas that he could not play after school basketball because his grades were low Jonas decided to tutor him. During their tutoring session, Jonas noticed Levi take out 3 pages of notes with nothing important written on them to study. When Jonas explained to Levi what the important things were, Levi was very surprised and shocked that Jonas knew what was important.
Romeo and Juliet:
What I am enjoying in Romeo and Juliet is the occasional rhyming. I also love the suspense that is built up. I really want to know what will happen because Romeo loves Juliet, but the two families hate each other. When Tybalt saw Romeo in their house he wanted to kill him, but if Tybalt did kill Romeo he would be killed, because both the families were threatened by the prince that if they ever fought the families would be killed. So I can’t wait to see what will happen to the 2 families and Romeo and Juliet’s relationship.

That is an interesting aspect of enjoyment! I never really gave much thought about rhyming in Romeo and Juliet, maybe that will help keep me entertained while reading Romeo and Juliet. You are the first student I have found to enjoy Romeo and Juliet.
ReplyDeleteI have mixed feelings on Romeo and Juliet, taking into consideration that it's too cheesy for my taste-- but I have to say, the rhyming is fun to read.
