Romeo and Juliet Task: Explore Shakespeare?s treatment of the theme of Love in Act 1 of ?Romeo and Juliet?. How does Shakespeare make the first meeting of the lovers dramatic and convincing for his audience? Romeo and Juliet is the story of a ?pair of star-cross?d lovers?, born into two feuding families. The Montague?s and Capulet?s are two households ?both alike in dignity? who have been at war for as long as each household can remember but neither know why. Although we are told the fate of the two lovers at the beginning, using the prologue, Shakespeare still delays their meeting to show the depth of the feud and how it affects Romeo and Juliet.

O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done; The ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won; The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring: But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead. O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells; Rise up?for you the flag is flung?for you the bugle trills; For you bouquets and ribboned wreaths?for you the shores a-crowding; For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning; Here Captain! dear father! This arm beneath your head; It is some dream that on the deck, You've fallen cold and dead. My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;

Shikha Patel September 18, 2013 Period 1 The Scarlet Letter Chapters 1-7 Chapters 1-3 1. The throng of people is townspeople who are there to see Hester Prynne be punished for her crime. 2. According to Hawthorne, the first two places allotted for in any new community are a cemetery and a prison. 4.

Everything else that is surrounding this area is dreary and ugly but this the rosebush is a beautiful piece of nature. The rose bush is supposed to bless the people that go into the church.

In Les Miserables, an ex-convict named Jean Valjean is determined to create a new life for himself. He was arrested for stealing a loaf of bread and for trying to escape from prison, and not until nineteen years later, he was released. Valjean comes across the town of Digne but as an ex-convict, he couldn?t find a place to stay. Luckily, he meets the bishop of Digne who takes care of Valjean even after hearing stories of his past. Valjean tries to steal from the bishop and leave at night but he was caught by the police. When the bishop was asked if what Valjean took was his, the bishop covered for him and said he gave it to Valjean as a gift. From there, Valjean swore to be an honest man and set out to the town Montreuil-sur-mer with a new name, Madeleine.

"The Wanderer" Summary: The poem begins with the Wanderer asking the Lord for understanding and compassion during his exile at sea. He cannot avoid going to sea, however, because this life is his fate. The Wanderer goes on to recall the hardships he has faced in his life, like watching his kinsmen be ruined and even slaughtered. He knows that while he is lonely and isolated, he will think about these things constantly. There is no living person with whom the Wanderer can share what is in his heart. He knows that it is dignified for a man to keep his feelings to himself. He then argues that no matter how hard a man tries to contain his emotions, he can never avoid his fate. An ambitious man can conceal his sorrowful heart, but he cannot escape it.
