on Based on what we have discussed about the purpose of the Prologue in terms of what it tells us and why it was written, your first task for this unit is to create a movie poster for Romeo and Juliet.
on Today we are going to establish a general understanding of what happens in the play and start looking at the text by reading the prologue.
In the beautiful city of Verona, where our story takes place, a long-standing hatred between two families erupts into new violence, and citizens stain their hands with the blood of their fellow citizens. Two unlucky children of these enemy families become lovers and commit suicide. Their unfortunate deaths put an end to their parents’ feud. For the next two hours, we will watch the story of their doomed love and their parents’ anger, which nothing but the children’s deaths could stop. If you listen to us patiently, we’ll make up for everything we’ve left out in this prologue onstage.

The Prologue does not merely set the scene of Romeo and Juliet, it tells the audience exactly what is going to happen in the play. The Prologue refers to an ill-fated couple with its use of the word “star-crossed,” which means, literally, against the stars. Stars were thought to control people’s destinies. But the Prologue itself creates this sense of fate by providing the audience with the knowledge that Romeo and Juliet will die even before the play has begun. The audience therefore watches the play with the expectation that it must fulfill the terms set in the Prologue. The structure of the play itself is the fate from which Romeo and Juliet cannot escape.
on Below is an example of a main body paragraph. Let’s look at it and see how it could be improved. The essay question the paragraph is answering is: Tommo learns a lot about courage and cowardice. Do you agree?

Cowardice was showed a few times by Tommo, the time he couldn’t tie his shoe laces and didn’t ask anyone and waited for the teacher to say something. As the story went on, Tommo changed dramatically. Tommo always wanted to tell someone about how his beloved father died. That shows that Tommo is completely down about himself and doesn’t have confidence inside him to tell anyone.
