write a letter in which you attempt to persuade Juliet to reconsider marrying Romeo so quickly. This letter will be addressed to Juliet Capulet

it has to be written in 3 paragraphs

Answers

In the streets of Verona another brawl breaks out between the servants of the feuding noble families of Capulet and Montague. Benvolio, a Montague, tries to stop the fighting, but is himself embroiled when the rash Capulet, Tybalt, arrives on the scene. After citizens outraged by the constant violence beat back the warring factions, Prince Escalus, the ruler of Verona, attempts to prevent any further conflicts between the families by decreeing death for any individual who disturbs the peace in the future.

Romeo, the son of Montague, runs into his cousin Benvolio, who had earlier seen Romeo moping in a grove of sycamores. After some prodding by Benvolio, Romeo confides that he is in love with Rosaline, a woman who does not return his affections. Benvolio counsels him to forget this woman and find another, more beautiful one, but Romeo remains despondent.

Meanwhile, Paris, a kinsman of the Prince, seeks Juliet's hand in marriage. Her father Capulet, though happy at the match, asks Paris to wait two years, since Juliet is not yet even fourteen. Capulet dispatches a servant with a list of people to invite to a masquerade and feast he traditionally holds. He invites Paris to the feast, hoping that Paris will begin to win Juliet's heart.

Romeo and Benvolio, still discussing Rosaline, encounter the Capulet servant bearing the list of invitations. Benvolio suggests that they attend, since that will allow Romeo to compare his beloved to other beautiful women of Verona. Romeo agrees to go with Benvolio to the feast, but only because Rosaline, whose name he reads on the list, will be there.

In Capulet's household, young Juliet talks with her mother, Lady Capulet, and her nurse about the possibility of marrying Paris. Juliet has not yet considered marriage, but agrees to look at Paris during the feast to see if she thinks she could fall in love with him.

The feast begins. A melancholy Romeo follows Benvolio and their witty friend Mercutio to Capulet's house. Once inside, Romeo sees Juliet from a distance and instantly falls in love with her; he forgets about Rosaline completely. As Romeo watches Juliet, entranced, a young Capulet, Tybalt, recognizes him, and is enraged that a Montague would sneak into a Capulet feast. He prepares to attack, but Capulet holds him back. Soon, Romeo speaks to Juliet, and the two experience a profound attraction. They kiss, not even knowing each other's names. When he finds out from Juliet's nurse that she is the daughter of Capulet—his family's enemy—he becomes distraught. When Juliet learns that the young man she has just kissed is the son of Montague, she grows equally upset.

As Mercutio and Benvolio leave the Capulet estate, Romeo leaps over the orchard wall into the garden, unable to leave Juliet behind. From his hiding place, he sees Juliet in a window above the orchard and hears her speak his name. He calls out to her, and they exchange vows of love.

Romeo hurries to see his friend and confessor Friar Lawrence, who, though shocked at the sudden turn of Romeo's heart, agrees to marry the young lovers in secret since he sees in their love the possibility of ending the age-old feud between Capulet and Montague. The following day, Romeo and Juliet meet at Friar Lawrence's cell and are married. The Nurse, who is privy to the secret, procures a ladder, which Romeo will use to climb into Juliet's window for their wedding night.

The next day, Benvolio and Mercutio encounter Tybalt—Juliet's cousin—who, still enraged that Romeo attended Capulet's feast, has challenged Romeo to a duel. Romeo appears. Now Tybalt's kinsman by marriage, Romeo begs the Capulet to hold off the duel until he understands why Romeo does not want to fight. Disgusted with this plea for peace, Mercutio says that he will fight Tybalt himself. The two begin to duel. Romeo tries to stop them by leaping between the combatants. Tybalt stabs Mercutio under Romeo's arm, and Mercutio dies. Romeo, in a rage, kills Tybalt. Romeo flees from the scene. Soon after, the Prince declares him forever banished from Verona for his crime. Friar Lawrence arranges for Romeo to spend his wedding night with Juliet before he has to leave for Mantua the following morning.

In her room, Juliet awaits the arrival of her new husband. The Nurse enters, and, after some confusion, tells Juliet that Romeo has killed Tybalt. Distraught, Juliet suddenly finds herself married to a man who has killed her kinsman. But she resettles herself, and realizes that her duty belongs with her love: to Romeo.

Answer: Dear Juliet,

I have wrote this letter to you because Romeo has talked to Friar Laurence into marrying you. But at first he was furious becuase Romeo is madly in love with Rosaline but no he is madly in love with you. He wants to spend his life without I would to you are a really smart girl and you are everything Romeo could ask for. Romeo didn't know what true love until he met you he thought he was in love with Rosaline. But for some reason he started to fall madly in love with you Juliet out of all the people he fell in love with you Juliet. I really would love to see you and Romeo get married you both would look wonderful together. The reason why I say that is because you are pretty,kind,beautiful, smart, and kind and you are everything he could ask for in a person.Romeo, oh Romeo he is as sweet as can be sometimes, he really loves you my darling Juliet. Please I am begging of you Juliet please marry Romeo.

Is there such thing as "too nice?"

Answers

Answer:

I believe so; Yes, because it can get too a point where you're too naïve

Explanation:

Answer:

Explanation:

There is no such thing as being too nice. If you are being nice then people are going to want to hang out with you more and basically communicate with you more because you have a nice personality. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you are too nice. People who tell you that don't really have a good personality and you should stay away from them. If you be nice to others then they know you are a good person on the outside but on the inside is what counts more . One more thing!! Don't be nice to the point where you let people tell you what to do or let them walk all over you. Also don't be nice to the point where you are too naive to realize what is wrong and what is right.

Ask yourself this question: Are you nice on the inside as well as you are on the outside? If you are continue to do this , If not , you need to work on what personality you have on the inside rather than show what you have on the outside.

The King's Order

In 1763, the war with the French ended with the English gaining possession of the whole of America from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River. This part of America was ruled by George the Third, King of England, who was now determined to send over more guards but wanted the people in the 13 colonies in America to pay the cost of keeping these guards. However, people were not willing to do this because they felt that they were able to protect themselves without help of any kind. Then the king said, "If the Americans will not give the money, I will take it from them—for pay it they must and shall." This was more than the king would have dared say about England; for there, if he wanted money to spend, he had to ask the people for it, and they could give it or not as they thought best. The Americans said, "We have the same rights as our brothers in England, and the king cannot force us to give a single copper against our will. If he tries to take it from us, we will fight."

The "Boston Tea Party"

However, George the Third did not really know the Americans, and he did not think that they meant what they said. He tried to make them pay the money, but they would not, and from Maine to Georgia, all the people were of one mind. Then the king thought of an alternate plan and arranged for shiploads of tea to be sent over to New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Charleston. He ordered, "If the tea should be landed and sold, then every man who bought a pound of it would have to pay six cents more than the regular price." That six cents was a tax, which the people refused to pay. When the tea reached New York, the citizens sent it back again to England. They did the same thing at Philadelphia. At Charleston, they let it be landed, but it was stored in damp cellars. People would not buy any of it anymore, so it all rotted and spoiled. In Boston, they had a grand "tea party." A number of men dressed themselves up like Native Americans, went on board the tea ships at night, broke open all the chests, and emptied the tea into the harbor.

Which statement best describes the purpose of the passage?

A. to entertain with a story about how American colonists lived under King George the Third

B. to provide an account about the history of the relationship between England and America

C. to compare the different leadership styles exercised at the time in England and America

A It hints at how the author's tone changes.

B It marks a change in the narrator's mood.

C It confirms that danger is ahead of them.

D it describes a change in the atmosphere.

Answers

Answer:

D. It describes a change in the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Neil Gaiman's short story "Click-Clack the Rattlebag" revolves around a horror story told by a  young boy to his sister's boy friend. Through the boy friend who is the narrator of the story, we can understand the theme of the story of how things are not how they originally seem to be.

In the given line from the story, the narrator talks about how the atmosphere changed from the small kitchen to the hallway. While the kitchen was "warm and cosy", the hallway was much more "chilly and draughty and dark". This, added with the scary story-telling, develops the suspense in the story.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
