Someone help me please...i have to write an essay on this passage
Juliet:The clock struck nine when i did send the nurse;
in half an hour she promised to return.
Perchance she cannot meet him.That's not so.
O,she is lame!Love's heralds should be thoughts,
Which ten times faster glide than the sun's beams
Driving back shadows over low'ring hills.
Therefore do nimble pinnioned doves draw Love,
And therefore hath the wind-swept Cupid wings.
Now is the sun upon the highmost hill
Of this days journey,and from nine till twelve
Is three long hours;yet she is not come
Had she affections and warm youthful blood,
She would be as swift in motion as a ball,
My words would bandy her to my sweet love,
And his to me.
But old folks,many feign as they were dead--
Unwieldly,slow,heavy,and pale as lead.
[Enter nurse and peter]
O God,she comes!O honey nurse,what news?
Hast thou met with him?Send thy man away.
These are my guidlines:
Examine all signifagant images,lines,stylistic devices,words,descriptions,and moood or tone indicators appearing in the passage.
Then i have to orient the reader as to where the settting is.
I have to have 3 paragraphs and the opening paragraph and thesis statement is always hardest for me.Its due tomorow and i cant think of how to formuklate anything..please help!!1

Romeo And Juliet
Oh, you are the roots that sleep beneath my feet
And hold the earth in place
Each time a faucet opens
Words are spoken
The water runs away
And I hear your name
No, nothing has changed
There was this book I read and loved
The story of a ship
Who sailed around the world and found
That nothing else exists
Beyond his own two sails and wooden shell
And what is held within
All else is sure to pass
We clutch and grasp
And debate what's truly permanent
But when the wind starts to shift
Well, there's no argument
And hold the earth in place
Each time a faucet opens
Words are spoken
The water runs away
And I hear your name
No, nothing has changed
There was this book I read and loved
The story of a ship
Who sailed around the world and found
That nothing else exists
Beyond his own two sails and wooden shell
And what is held within
All else is sure to pass
We clutch and grasp
And debate what's truly permanent
But when the wind starts to shift
Well, there's no argument

Re: Romeo And Juliet
AH! I did romeo and juliet! yayyy
okay- just think of the significant images- of the sun going down, as in time running out- just look through and pinpoint all the ones that make a clear image in your mind. And think how they could be symbolistic to the play. Moods and tones- Juliets waiting for the nurse, she wants her to come, shes very impatient. Just talk about that, and talk about why she's impatient, what she's waiting for.
The thesis is always hard for me too. Before you do anything, you know that you have to write three paragraphs. Do an outline. Teachers are always telling you to do an outline, and i tried it and it made the essay writing so much easier. Okay- think of how you want to pair these up to make an essay. You can do the first one on, say, significant images and lines. The next one on maybe the mood or the tones that are presented. Then the third could be the words, devices or descriptions that SHOW the tone and mood. For the thesis, just mention these three things. Remember the formula for the essay- hook, lead, thesis. Teachers love that..
if you need any more help, I could try.. good luck!

"I have a feeling that you're riding for some kind of a terrible, terrible fall. . . . This fall I think you're riding for-it's a special kind of fall, a horrible kind. The man falling isn't permitted to feel or hear himself hit bottom. He just keeps falling and falling. The whole arrangement's designed for men who, at some time or other in their lives, were looking for something their own environment couldn't supply them with. Or they thought their own environment couldn't supply them with. So they gave up looking. They gave it up before they ever really even got started"

Re: Romeo And Juliet
thanks soo much, i got an opening so far...lemme know whatcha think...
"Romeo and Juliet",a play by William Shakespeare,is a masterful play that uses many different literary devices.Shakespeare uses several different devices,such as,metaphors,vivid imagery,symbolism and tone to describe what is happening in the play.He also uses metaphors that wind throughout the entire play and many symbols.There are several examples of this throughout "Romeo and Juliet".These devices can be especially found in scenes spoken between the two main characters,Romeo and Juliet themselves.
