ELA 9 Discuss and support Themes of Romeo and Juliet
Welcome back in 2016, Nines! We’ve a few more things to do to conclude our study of Romeo and Juliet.
Today you each need to sign into your own blogs and create a new post titled Romeo and Juliet: Themes to Consider. You’ll write a short paragraph response to any five of the following themes:
- The generation gap between young and old
- The uselessness of violence
- Stubbornness and pride leading to death and heartbreak
- The strength of young love
- The dangers of dishonesty
- Revenge leads to destruction
- Fate often controls lives
For each of your short paragraphs, you need to:
- first explain what is meant by the theme topic
- explain how it applies or is found in the play R&J
- refer to at least one specific event as an example of the theme
- explain how that event relates to the theme
