Federica Balboni Period 4
ReplyDeleteRomeo comes into my bakery shop now and then, he loves my chocolate chip cookies. He hasn't been in recently I have no clue why. The cookies miss him:(.
The Capulets and the Montagues feud is very silly in my personal opinion. I don't know why it started I believe it had to do with them both being very rich and wealthy and competed against each other with it. I baked all the deserts they were serving at the party. I was invited as a thank you for baking the sweets, my husband and children attended too we all had a very good time.
I think Paul and Juliet's marriage wouldn't work out, she is at such a young age and she shouldn't be forced to marry someone she doesn't love. When she loves someone then her time will come and she will marry them no one should force her or stop her from true love because its a special feeling that shouldn't be taken away. I know the nurse, she is a nice woman and babbles alot about her family, we knew eachother before she started working for the Capulets.
Abdullah Ahmad Period 3
ReplyDeleteRomeo is my nephew's friend and seem really sad because he got rejected from a girl named Rosaline, that's what Mercutio told me today. The Capulets and the Montagues feud is very pointless, we should look towards the future. I'm bascially netrual because I believe in peace instead of Tybalt's father. I was invited by Lady Capulet because she's a family friend of mine. I'm not in favor of Paris and Juliet's marriage because Juleit is very young amd shouldn't forced by her mother like this. Lady Capulet always bossed me around as we were children. When Juliet loves someone then her time will come because its a feeling that can't be broken. I know the nurse, she is a nice lady and she talks alot about perverted things to me. We knew each other after she started working for Lady Capulet.
Chris Garritano Period 7-
ReplyDeleteBeing the barber for the Capulets, I do not have the chance to meet Romeo or observe any of his behaviors. Of all the gossip i hear in the shop, none is about Romeo. But who would want to talk next to a Montague? Everyone talks such rubbish to both the Capulets and Montagues, but to be honest, I have no idea what started the feud. If I put together the constant chatter at the shop, my best guess would be power. The two families are very very rich, and they would like to keep it that way. They do not want another family coming in and taking all their money.
As to the Capulets ball, of course I was invited. I perfected everyone's hair who was dancing that night. My wife was invited as well, but the children needed to stay home, for they were a bit young.
Paris had stopped by into my shop the other day to prep for the dance, raving about how he was going to marry Juliet. I was going to say he was foolish, but I wanted to get into that ball. I personally think that Juliet may be a tad young, and should wait another year. Also, Paris does not seem like Juliets type, for he is way too conceided and arogant.
Unfotrunately Juliet's marriage descisions are not my job, but it is Lady Capulet's. On the topic of her, what a terrible woman! At least you could have a little decency. All she does is just boss people around without even a thank you. I am a huge supporter of the Capulet's but come on! It is preposterous. If I had to choose one, she is my least favorite. But don't tell anyone, I like my job.
Daniella Lagani Period 7 (Elizabetta, a poor maid)
ReplyDeleteI don't really know the young man Romeo but I do know that he is part of tge Montague side. I see him around town sometimes but recently he has been acting strange. He looked depressed or upset about something, but I am not that close with him, I don't know what has got him down.
I know that there has been a feud between the Capulets and Montagues about who is the wealthiest. I don't really know how it all began but their is a huge probably between them both. My name was absolutley not on the guest list, I am not important enough to be on it. The Capulets probably don't even know I exist. I don't even know anyone who was invited.
I am In favor of the marriage of Juliet and Paris. I heard that Paris was a nice man and Juliet is getting older and soon she will be too old to marry, I think she should just marry Paris. My marriage with Nario was arranged and I ended up ok with four healthy, beautiful children. If I were one of the three women I would think it is right for Juliet to be marry Paris, I would allow her little freedom to speak her opinon but thats it.
Mike Salvatori
ReplyDeletePeriod 3
Romeo and I are the tightest of friends. He is like a brother to me, unfortunately I have not seen him around town at all. I hope all is well with him and his family.
The Montague and Capulet feud is competiton for supremacy, both families are very wealthy. Gladly, I was not on the list for the Capulet Masquerade because I am such good friends of Romeo. I did not want to spend my time around those people anyway.
To be honest I do not care who Juliet marries, but I think Paris is too old for her. Compared to other Capulets she is a nice girl and deserves better than Paris. I know Juliet from around town. She is very sweet and always seems to say hello to me.
Kyle Lometti period 3- I am a money maker but I am also a part time gardner. When I work at the home of the Montague's I often see Romeo hiding in the garden and he looks very lonesome and sad. I have tried to talk to him about it but he always runs away before I can get to him. I think that the fighting between the two families is absurd because no one is benefitting from the fighting, it is only hindering the prosperity and happiness of the two families. My was not on the list but I know I'm going to the party. I love crashing parties. On the day of the party Im going to cut out of making it rain a little early because parties are my main priority. I am not going to tend to the Montague's garden on the day of the party because I only do that if work is slow in the field of making it rain. Personally I think that as long as Juliet loves Paris and gives her consent then she should mary him. But if Lady Capulet is just forcing her without taking her opinion into consideration then I think that it wrong. I know the nurse and she is pretty sick and twisted in the head. She is always cracking crude jokes because she is a little rascal
ReplyDeleteBrandon Antolino period 3
ReplyDeleteAye Romeo my bud, me and Romeo go way back till we was both wee lads. I just had spoken to him around a week ago. I havent seen him since then. When i saw him last he was on about this girl Rosaline? I couldnt get through to him because him would run off. I hope he is doing well same with the Montague family.
The fighting between the two families is nothing but a headache. No one gets power or any benefits at all. I think its a pride thing, but it seems pointless to me and all it does is disturb the peace in town. I am not going to the party because i would not want to betray my montague bros.
I dont think Juliet should marry paris unless she deeply loves Paris. It doesnt make sense to be forced to marry someone you dont love, because you will never be happy. Love is the best thing in the world and you will know wehn your in love its a amazing feeling and i know juliet does not love paris.
I know Juliet and she is a sweet little girl who is very pretty.
DeleteAriel Coonin period 6
ReplyDeleteRomeo, ay sweet Romeo. Of course I know him. I live and work in the Montague household and am deeply in love with Romeo. He is so sweet and romantic, but he barely knows I exist. I hate how he mopes over Rosaline all the time these days. He is not the same and I miss the old him. She isn't even pretty and surely doesn't treat him right. If Romeo were mine, oh gosh, I would never treat him in such a way.
I truly don't know where or when the feud between the families started, I only started working here a little while ago and back home I didn't hear much of the gossip. Being from a poor family, I didn't spend much time in the main square and was pretty disconnected from the news. I think it started a while ago...long before my time. Other maids say that they have been feuding as long as they can remember. I wasn't on the list for the Capulet's party, but that makes sense. As a maid I am rarely invited to these things and since I belong to the Montague family I would NEVER be invited to this. During the party I just stayed back and did chores around the house. Work doesn't stop just because the silly Capulets decide to have a party.
I don't think Juliet should marry Paris. From what I hear she doesn't know him or like him very much and people shouldn't have to marry someone that they don't love. I believe that one day I will marry Romeo because he will realize that he loves me just as much as I love him and love is what makes a marriage work. Even though Juliet is from the Capulet family, I still think that she seems like a sweet girl and she cannot choose her own family. I hope that she ends up happy...but don't tell my boss.
Kiana Comizio Period 7
ReplyDeleteBeing Juliet's cousin I do not know Romeo personally. However, even though I'm part of their family I'm not positive how the feud between families started. Ever since I was little I remember my uncle and aunt hating the Montague's. It was something I was raised to do. No one ever questioned why or asked how the rivalry started. It was probably over power though. I was invited to the party, as were my parents because my dad is the brother of Lord Capulet. When discussing the matters of Juliet marrying Paris with my parents, uncle and aunt, or the general public, I act like I am in favor of their marriage. I have to respect my uncle and aunt's decision but secretly I am in favor of Juliet marrying the person that she is in love with. It is easy for me to relate to Juliet because my parents have arranged me to marry someone of their choice. I rather have Juliet be happy but I have to keep it to myself because I don't want to defy my family.
Max Uretta Period 7-
ReplyDeleteI haven't personally met Romeo yet but I do seem him pass by my blacksmith shop almost everyday. He is usually upbeat and has his head up high but the past couple of days he has been acting upset, sulking and walking with his head towards the ground. I don't know the boy but it concerns me because any Montague is a friend of mine and I don't want any of my friends to be upset. Im not quiet sure what started the feud between the two families but if I was to take a wild guess it would have something to do with power. One family thinks they deserve more power than the other and they think their better than the other so they just started to become rivals. I was not on the Capulet party list because I side with the Montague and I let everyone know that because I personally believe the Montague family is more powerful and respectful and they deserve to be in power over the Capulet family. My family was not on the invitation list either because they are also on the side of the Montague family and proudly represent it by wearing Montague colors almost everyday. Yes I would be in favor of the Paris Juliet marriage because I don't really care who she marries as long as she doesn't marry someone on the Montague side. Two rivals should never become friends and especially not lovers. I feel that if the a Montague and Capulet get married a resolution will come of the two and I believe that Montauge's are better then them and their should be no resolution between us. Montague is better then Capulet bottom line. I don't really know any of the girls but I've seen the nurse around before and she looks like a mean cruel women but Im not really sure.
Nicole D'Annibale (Period 4)
ReplyDeleteI am lucky enough to see Romeo almost every day. I am in love with him, but he simply doesn't know my name or anything about me, just that I am his cook. I have noticed a change in his behavior. It seems that he is in love with a girl called Rosaline. He walks around all day dreaming about her and he just doesn't act the same anymore.
I do not know much about the feud between the families and how it began. I hadn't been a cook for the Montague's at the time I believe it started. I heard about the banquet at the Capulet's house though. It hasn't been brought up in the Montague's house at all and none of us were invited. I just worked a normal night that night.
I don't really care about the marriage of Juliet because I work for the Montague's. But, I guess I am in favor of the marriage between Paris and Juliet because he is a very handsome man and she is very pretty. Their marriage wouldn't really effect me and my work. I know Juliet's nurse from a long time ago. We were friends before we started working for these separate families. I haven't talked to her in a while but I see her walking in the town some days.
Roma S (pd.4)…As one of the Capulet maids, I am aware of who Romeo Montague is. However, I don’t know him personally and only see him form time to time so I do not see a difference in him. I was walking in the town when I fight broke out. All I saw before the men drew out their swords was one of the Capulet boys gave the thumb to a Montague. That was probably what started the fight. I was not on the invitation list since I will be assisting the Capulet family at the party. I will be cleaning the whole house before the party and then helping the servants to serve the food to the guests. Honestly, as long as I have a job, I don’t care who Juliet gets married to. It would be a smart move to marry Paris since he is handsome and especially wealthy. If I ever had a chance to marry a man such as this one and ditch my poverty, I wouldn’t give it a second thought. I happen to know the Nurse very well. She has assisted me with my work many times and is helpful. She is like my second mother. The Nurse, although nice and helpful can be out spoken and improper. I’ll always hear inappropriate jokes from her and try not to listen because some could be so provocative. The Nurse needs to really clean up her act and act like a mature and grown woman.
ReplyDeleteSierra Struzzi 3
ReplyDeleteBeing Juliets sister I am yet to meet Romeo personally, but I have noticed that he is rather upset latley walking around with his head down if he is out of his room.
I do not know how the fued between My family and the Montsgue's began but I am informed on what goes on such as Romeo showing up at the banquet. It hasnt really been talked aboujt just mentioned.
I am not one to judge Juliet on who she marries but I do feel that she isnt making the right chioce. I can tell that there is no real love between her and Paris and i am one who firmly believes that those who marry shall love one another. There marriage would have no effect on me, as it would me sister. Juliet is such an amazing person I would hate to see her in a relationsjip with someone who doesnt make her as happy as she deserves.
Jacee C- Period 7
ReplyDeletei have indeed noticed a change in Romeo. Him and i are pretty close and i am around him quite a lot and i have noticed that he has been very down lately. I have asked him why, but he wont tell me and i do not want to pressure him.
I don't exactly know how this whole Capulet and Montague fight started. All i know is that they dislike each other... greatly. But i am not about to go up to Lord Montague and ask him.
Oh and that whole party that was going on...I know all about little Romeo making a little visit with his troublemaker best friends. I of course was not invited because i am a maid and i work for Montague. So that would just be awkward.
I herd all about the idea of Juliet marrying Paris, i think its weird being that Juliet is still so young but then again, i do not really care. Whatever floats her families boat am i right?
If i was one of the women in this scene i wouldnt have been much help to the situation because i could careless honestly if she marries Paris or not. i mean maybe i would prefer she ditch Paris and try out my little Romeo, but thats not going to happen because of the whole stupid feud and all.
Keith Lometti period 7
ReplyDeleteI do not know Romeo because i am a mule driver so i have never been invited to their home.
I think that the arguments between the families is very stupid and pointless. I am not sure why it started but some people take it very seriously and worship the houses of the Montagues or the Capulets.
I think that if Juliet wants to marry Paris then she should but it depends whether or not she wants to marry him or someone else.
I know the nurse. She is losing her mind but still a nice woman. She says very crude things that many people are offended by but i dont mind her that much.
Nicolette Forgione Period 3- I myself do not know Romeo personally so therefore i havent seen any change in him, because i dont really know him as a person and havent gotten to know him. Also i do not know anything about the families because i am just a seamstress. But my name was indeed on the list because i am a seamstress for the capulets family. Im in favor of the marriage between Paris and juliet because hes a very good looking young man and hes on the capulets! I believe that Juliet is a very sweet charming and nice girl but i do think that she is still trying to find herself and figure out who she is.
ReplyDeleteCarlye Uretta Period 4- As one of the Capulets maids i do not know Romeo personally because he is Montague, but i have seen him around but i was not able to know him well enough to see a difference in him. I was there when the fight broke out but i do not know much more than that i know that a thumb was pointed towards each other but thats about all i know. Being a Capulet i was not on the list. It doesnt really matter to me who Juliet marries but personally id be in favor of Paris considering hes very good looking and is wealthy i feel it will do good for Juliet. Im fairly close to the nurse but i do believe that she needs to being to act like a civilized person because the jokes she says sometimes a quite rude and disturbing, and she needs to act mature and act her age at times too.
ReplyDeleteKevin alvora period 6
ReplyDeleteI am not very close to Romeo. But I can just see that he has changed, before he was a energetic and funny young kid. But now he is acting like a grown man and he Is always depressed. I have tried to ask him about what's going on but when he starts talking i get bored and walk away.
I have no idea how the feud between the capulets and montagues started all I know is that it was a battle over supremacy. But what I can tell you is that it is very annoying that they are always fighting and arguing. These people started a fight in the middle of the town because people were biting their thumbs at people. I was on the list but I am not on any side of the families I just make people laugh by cracking jokes and I feel if I'm not on a side I'll make more money. I have heard things about Juliet and Paris but I don't think that she should marry him because she doesn't even like him. I feel that if Juliet actually has feelings for Paris then she should marry him but if she doesn't there is no point in it at all. It just doesn't make sense for her to get married if she doesn't want too.
Claudia Marino - Period 7
ReplyDeleteRomeo obviously isn’t an uncommon sight in the Montague household, as I usually see him while working. For some strange reason, I have yet to see him at home for at least a fortnight! Benvolio tells me that his odd behavior is due to some unrequited love. It does him no good to mourn what cannot be!
I know not much about how the feud between the Montagues and Capulets began, though I do know that it is as strong as I could imaging a feud to be. Old Montague says nothing but spiteful things when he speaks of Capulet and his family, and is more than willing to unsheathe his sword without hesitating. I suppose the feud is a matter of pride, wealth, and status; as it always is with the nobles. One would think that they cannot see beyond their own noses. Knaves, the lot of them are.
My family and I were not invited to the mask ball for two reasons; we work for the Montagues, and the fact that we are workers at all guarantees that our family name will stay off of the guest list. Nobles and monarchs only.
I hear much about Miss Juliet, and I think she is a bit young to be married. I have also heard about Paris is a fine man. I don’t have much of an opinion on the matter, since I am not directly involved with Juliet’s affairs. I just hope her dear Nurse didn’t go on as she usually does… Lady Capulet would think her language to be inappropriate. Nurse stopped me at the market once or twice and ended up talking with me for quite a while. That woman probably talks in her sleep!
Rebecca O.
ReplyDeletePeriod 4:
Act I, scene i
I happen to be one of the Capulets so obviously, I don't know Romeo! I've only seen him once and once is enough.
I really don't know much about the fight all I know, is the Montague's started it. They really need to keep their hands to themselves and be more respectful around the town, they're not the only ones living on this universe.
My name was not on it, I'm a maid for them so I will be working during the event, not having fun during it, but since I am a responsible maid the Capulet family has decided to treat my family by letting them attend.
I would absolutely love Miss Capulet to be married to Paris! She's a lovely young lady and she deserves to marry into a family with a high rank as her own, I feel that he would truly love her and take care of her, because they have the money to.
Since I'm a maid at the Capulet's I know the nurse quite well! We talk almost every day. I do believe she should be more civilized around Lady Capulet because she is her master.
Jackie Dalfonso Period 6- I know Romeo a little bit, he talked to me a few times, and complimented me on how I play violin. I think its really stupid that the two families fight all the time; I think they should resolve their minor differences. All I know is that they don't like being in the same space as eachother, so much has happened, I forgot how it all started. My name was not on the capulet party list but I was invited to perform for the ball, (not party). Mr capulet invited me because he enjoys how I play. My opinion on Paris and Juliet, I think it would be beautiful, but she hardly knows him, I also think she should have the power to choose who she wants to be with. If she wants to marry him, go ahead. I have nothing against mr.Paris, he is a nice, kind young lad. I do talk to the nurse of Juliet, she was a friend of my mothers. I think she is funny, and nice, but I think she should watch what she says, depending on where she is, because not everyone likes or gets her humor or pervertedness.
ReplyDeleteRichard Hoffberg Period 3
ReplyDeleteI do not personally know of Romeo, but have been told exceptional things about the lad. I just know that his physical condition is great. Also I often see him roaming the streets chasing after women, but lately I have not seen him except with Benvolio in the streets. I have no knowledge of how the feud began between the families, I moved here from Medici five years ago. I was on the invitation list for the safety and well being of all the guests, I hoped my presence was not needed. Since I moved away from my very liberal family in Medici, my past is not known in Verona, my family was not invited. Although I was technically on duty I was permitted to enjoy myself at the party, for being a loyal employee. I have no opinion on the marriage choice of Juliet, but I have knowledge that Lord Capulet would prefer her with Paris. It would also enhance the family name if she marries into popular wealth. I am her doctor and I think she is a lovely young lady.
Brian Ganis -Period 3
ReplyDeleteRomeo and I are very close friends. We walk to the bakery almost every day. However recently i haven't talked to him as much, and when i do, he acts very pessimistic and timid. My gut is telling me it has to do with a women, but I probably shouldn't ask him. I am unaware on why a feud between these two families occurred in the first place. Although one thing for sure is that they hate each other.
My name was on the Capulet invitation list, as well as my family because we are very close family friends to the prince. I don't think Juliet should not marry Paris because she is very young, and she has never even met him. For all she knows he could be a creep. If i was one of the women in the scene I would want Juliet marrying Paris because he and the Capulet's are both very powerful. Them marryig would make each family even more powerful.
sabrina period 4- yes i do know Romeo, i have worked for the Montague family for as long as i could remember. But ever since he met Rosaline he hasn't been the same. all he thinks about is her, sometimes he doesn't even eat when i cook him dinner, he's just to focused on her. All the Montague's try to tell him all the time to move on cause she doesn't want him. I feel that he moves on he will go back to his normal chearful self. The one thing that us Montague's don't like about this Rosaline girl is that she is a capulet. The Montague's and capulets have been in this feud for years. i truly don't know when this feud started, but it has to be over something important if it is still going on today. since i work for the Montague family my name was not on the list for the party, even if i was a Capulet i don't think my name would be on the list since I'm only a cook. I'm not in favor of the marriage between Paris and Juliet. I have this opinion because juliet is not in love with this man, even though marriages are arranged i believe you should still love the person. i feel that even though Juliet if from the Capulet Family she should marry Romeo so the both of them can be happy.
ReplyDeleteTristan Votta Period 6
ReplyDeleteI do know Romeo pretty well due to the fact that I work for the Montague's. Lately, I have noticed that Romeo is very gloomy and lethargic. He does not usually act like this and I don't know exactly why he is acting like this, but I believe it is because of a woman.
The feud between the Capulet's and the Montague's has been going on for as long as I can remember. I believe it is a struggle for power between the two families. I was not invited to the recent party that was hosted by the Capulet's mainly because I work for the Montague's. I am not in favor of the marriage because I just found out that Romeo is now in love with Juliet. If he loses her I don't know what he'll do. I used to know the nurse that worked for the Capulet's and she is very immature and is always cracking inappropriate jokes.
Dominique Loguidice (Period 4)
ReplyDeleteI do not know Romeo personally, I know of him but am not accquatinces with him. I am on the side of the Capulets and am a seamstress on their behalf. I haven't discovered or noticed any strange behavior lately.
I am not exactly positive on how the feud originally began, I believe it was from the fact that both families are extremely wealthy and are very successful. One thing I have noticed is that the feud between the Montague's and the Capulet's have been causing uproars in serious fights, it was never this violent, just extremely competitive. I was happily invited to the Capulet's ball because I am close with them and am a very close with Lady Capulet. I do most of her sewing and will once in awhile do Juliet's. I was invited on behalf of them and was not required to work. My family and I were all invited.
I do not believe that there should be a marriage on behalf of Paris and Juliet, this is only because Juliet should have an opinion on wether or not she wants to marry Paris, it doesn't matter if he's wealthy or the perfect man to marry for Juliet's benefit in the future, it also matters about her happiness and her opinion about this situation.
Scott Bartman- period 4
ReplyDeleteRomeo seems to be the kind of person who is very romantic and emotional when it comes to females. Recently he has changed who he is in love with over the course of a day. my persona knows how the feud started and a little bit on the reason yet finds them fighting pointless. My name and my families names were not on the list because we are "blue collar" workers and are not in the upper middle class. I was working during the fight because I work many hours every day of the week. I would not be in favor of Romeo and Juliet because although they may be in love there families are enimies and with the fighting it will not work. I just think that the whole thing is unrealistic. I know the nurse, we used to be good friends at a young age. I think she has a very good sence of humor and is very nice.
I’m well aware of who Romeo is, who wouldn’t be? With the huge fight that broke out in the town square, I think everyone should have known by now. Although I don’t see him quite often, it seems to me that he is always into his own little world, I never have the time to notice any changes in him. The fighting between the family is completely immature and not needed. Since I am neutral in this dispute, my name was actually on the list, and so was my sister Rosaline. I actually would be in favor of Juliet and Romeo, I believe that it will help both families get over their issues. I believe Juliet it a very pretty and calming young girl, although I am extremely jealous of her good looks, I do have to admit that she is very well raised.
ReplyDeleteI have known of the classic feud of the Montagues and the Capulets for the entirety of my existence. My earliest memories consist of my mother warning me not to get involved with their fights. There are many rumors on how exactly their rivalry began. Some say that they were rival merchants while others say that it dates to ancient Roman times. I do not want to instigate any of the fights or choose one single side. It is unfortunate that they cannot settle their dispute so the town could regain its fallen peace.
ReplyDeleteI am not surprised that I was put on the list for the Capulet party considering that my wife, Florentine, is good friends with their family. I do know that Juliet is also off to be wed to the young noble Paris. he his a fine fellow and the two seem good for each other. Juliet is a nice respectable young lady with a good head on her shoulders. Hopefully she won't do anything foolish soon.
James Delia - Period 6
ReplyDeleteI usually sold some food to Romeo, but I haven't seen him lately. I know that a fight broke out between the Montague's and Capulet's, but I don't know much about their families, I am just a farmer that is neutral and sells food to both families. My name is not on the list because I am poor and don't really know either family personally, I see them every once in a while. I was working when the fight went on, and I only heard it, but din't actually see it. I don't really care what Paris and Juliet do, since I am not a personal friend, but I do think that Juliet is a little too young for Paris. Since I am in the lower-middle class all I know is the nurse and all she does is say perverted jokes that I don't think is all that funny. Her jokes are not needed and aren't funny.
Shannon Zuccarelli, period 6:
ReplyDeleteRomeo has been past my bakery many times, and sometimes comes in for something sweet to eat. Lately, when I see him walking in town, he is looking depressed and is sneaking around as if he doesn’t want anyone to see him.
The constant feud between the two families have been going on since I could remember; Everyone knows about it. All I know is that it began from a power struggle, and it just spiraled from there. The Capulet party list was very long, but I knew that my name, or my family’s was not on it, of course. I am just a baker compared to their royalty. That night I was still at the bakery, baking for the next morning buyers. There was a lot to do, and even if I had been invited, I would not have been able to make it with all the slaving work I had to accomplish.
I would be in favor of the marriage between Paris and Juliet. They seem to make a wonderful couple, being that he is very handsome and rich. Juliet would be a lucky girl. She is fortunate to be able to decide wether or not she likes Paris, but she has to make a decision at this age.
Katie Stevens. Period 4- Being Juliets sister, i have not yet met Romeo. I have seen him around, but since our familys show strong hatred for each other, i am forced to stay far away from him. I saw a change in behavior when i saw him leaving the dance looking anxious, but curious and showing love towards another. I know he was dancing with Juliet, my sister, so i worried that he has developed feelings for her, knowing the powerful hate against the Montagues that the Capulets hold. Of course my familys name was on the list because my mother was hosting the whole dance. I was not working, however, i was helping my mother out with organizing and setting up. I believe Paris and Juliet should not get married because Juliet does not seek to love him. However, i worry for her falling in love with someone like Romeo, a Montague, because of the hatred we have of them. I am undecided, however, i believe she should definitely not marry Paris. If Juliet therefore loves someone else, she should be able to be with and marry him.
ReplyDeleteEmma LaBarbera- Period 7
ReplyDeleteI do not know Romeo, but I heard Juliet last night talking with him from her window while I was cleaning her room. I haven't noticed a difference in my behavior lately from normal. I know the Capulet's version of the start of the rivalry between the Capulet's and Montague's. I've heard that it had something to do with the Montague's and Capulet's fighting over power. To the masquerade ball, my family and my name was not on the list, yet I was at the Capulet mansion cleaning up after everyone because the Capulet's wanted everything to be perfect. I know how mean the Capulet's can be, and by judging by how I don't know the Montague's, I am neutral in this situation. I am quiet, but I have a voice and an opinion. I do not support the marriage of Paris and Juliet solely because Juliet is far too young for Paris, far too young to be getting married, and they hardly know each other. I have a different way of thinking than most people do in my town. In my town, it is normal for 13 year old girls to be married to a 27 year old that she doesn't even know. In my opinion, I believe that if you're someone who values themselves and values their possessions, I wouldn't give that all up for one person that you don't love. In my life, I became a maid when I started all over. I was brought up in an upper-middle class background, but disobeyed my parents at 14 when refusing to get married to a stranger. I moved to this town where it was heard that the Capulet's were very rich and in need of assistance in their house. I had never had any experience as a maid or working woman, but I needed to play the part and was quiet and professional. When I first started to work there, I met the Capulet's nurse who befriended me. My opinion about her is that she is rather uneducated due to the immature and unnecessary comments that she makes towards Lady Capulet and Juliet, but I believe that she is just hiding behind her jokes due to her losses in her family.
Daniel Quinn Period 4-
ReplyDeleteI did not see Romeo because I only do dealings with his father. I do not know how this feud started but my Father was told by Lord Montague that he should not offer his services to the Capulets, which my Father has honored because of the generous dontations from the Montagues. My family was not invited to the party because the it was thrown by the Capulets and family only deals with the Montagues. I would not like a marriage between Paris and Juilet because Paris is very wealthy so if he was to marry the daughter of one of my fathers clients, we would benifit greatly. Out of the women there I would only assosate with the nurse because of my connections but even meeting with her would not be smart for me.
Nick Nelson Period 6-
ReplyDeleteI do personally know Romeo, as he comes into my beer shop a lot. He has been coming in more often recently, and I beleive it has to do with this depression that he's in. But he leaves my shop happily, I make sure of it. I am not aware of how this feud began but it is none of my business. I was invited to the Capulet's party and I was told to be the supplier of drinks. I worked for some of the party and then I was told I could mingle. I then found my homie Tybalt and we blew up the dance floor and got a buch of ladies chasing us around. I am not in favor of the marriage between Paris and Juliet because I feel that she would be the pefect match for my boy Romeo.
Amanda Levkoff Period 6:
ReplyDeleteSince I am a cook for the Capulet's, I do not know Romeo personally. I have heard his name before when I bring Juliet her meals, they are talking through their windows to each other. I do not know much about the fight that went on, but I have heard that the Montague's are the ones who started it all. In my opinion, they should be more respectful and form peace in our town. As for the event, the invitation list was very long. For all my hard work I have done in order to please the Capulets, they have nicely invited my family to the big event. Even though I will be working, making food for this event, it is wonderful to have my family there with me. I would love it to see Miss Capulet and Paris getting married. They both deserve each other and they would be a perfect and happy couple together. Working at the Capulet's I have met many new people there. For example, I became very good friends with the nurse who works for them just like me. The nurse is one of my good friends, I could say we talk a lot of the time together. I do feel that she should be more educated so she wouldn't make those unnecessary comments that she does already.
Oriana- Since my husband works for the montigues i know him because we get invited to all the family partys and for the capuletd and i personally know juliet i am the baker and bake thier cakes for special occasions and more and i approve of thier marriage if two people love eachother they should be happy instead of marrying someone they dont know and trust.
ReplyDeleteI do happen to know Romeo Montague, in fact he is one of my friends. Being around him a lot of the time I have noticed a change in his behavior lately. It seems that he is in a depressed state at the moment. He's simply in love with a girl Rosaline who is not interested in him. Romeo is having a hard time dealing with her rejection but I believe in no time he will find someone else, someone better.
ReplyDeleteBeing friends with both Juliet and Romeo I know a bit about their families feud. Both families are extremely wealthy and have an equal amount of power. The feud is simply a fight over who has the most power and who has the most money in Verona. Recently my family and I were invited to the Capulet's masquerade. Luckily I don't have to work that night because I am a friend of Juliet's. Her family does not know I am also friends with Romeo which is why I was lucky enough to be invited to their masquerade.
Juliet is a sweet young girl. She is one of my good friends and deserves to be happy. She deserves to be happy which is why I do not support her marrying Paris. He is way too old for her and they don't know anything about each other. In addition to not knowing anything about Each other, Juliet is clearly not interested in Paris at all and he should just move on and find someone else. I know all 3 women, Juliet, Lady Capulet, and the nurse. The first 2 women are very nice and respectful people. I have known the two of them for a very long time and I am close with the Capulet family. Unfortunately I also know the nurse. She is an immature lady who needs to stop making such disgusting jokes.
Gabby B Period 3/4
I do know Romeo but not that well im closer with his parents then him but sometimes he would come to my shop and I have been noticing a bit of a change in his mood. He has seemed depressed but he is a young boy so I did right away have the feeling he liked a girl who didn't like him back, and thats very common.
ReplyDeleteI have a stable relationship with both families in fact i tailored the clothing worn by the ladies and gentlemen both of wealthy class i was not working and was invited to go to the party and yes i have known about the fued for quite some time.
I dont think Juliet should marry Paris I think she is a very smart pretty young woman who should be able to make her own dessions, me being 17 and not yet married feel that all girls should have the chance to explore life and all its opiotions
Samantha O'Rourke period 6
I know who Romeo is but do not see him a great deal. I don't even know how this feud began, I was just thrust into the middle of it. The only reason that i support Lord Montague is, like I said before, he does a lot of business with me and he is a generous patron. I was not on the invitation list because I am not very wealthy and do not know Lord Capulet well. Even if I was invited I wouldn't have gone because if Lord Montague found out I was there I might lose his business. Plus, what is there to gain from going to those parties anyway.
ReplyDeleteI do not care about the marriage between Juliet and Paris. They are upper class and don't care about my problems so why should I care about theirs. If this effected me I would probably say that marriage should be consensual and she should also marry someone closer to her age. I've seen the nurse around town. She is nice and good at heart, but she has lost her way and is going insane. She makes sexual jokes which I find quite funny because i am a bit immature, however, sometimes people don't appreciate them as i do.

ReplyDeleteI know Romeo very well. I cook for him almost every night. Recently he has been acting a bit strange. I tried talking to him but he says its nothing to worry about. I acted that same way when I first fell in love with a girl when I was about Romeo's age. That may be the situation, but I'd rather not bother Romeo about it.
There is a party at the Capulet's place tonight and none of the Montagues are invited, including myself. The reason behind this is because of the feud between the two families. This feud goes way back and no one can remember exactly what this rivalry is over.
Supposedly Capulet's daughter, Juliet, has been asked to be married by Paris. I can care less about this situation. I don't care and want anything to do with those Capulets. I actually once knew the nurse of the Capulets. She makes immature comments and acts like she is a child. She is a soft hearted woman, but she really needs to grow up a bit.
Christian Rizzaro
ReplyDeleteI know both family's and i have realized that Romeo has been acting differently lately. The other day when i brought new swords to the Montague"s house i saw Romeo talking to Benvolio about his problems. i decided to listen to what he was talking about and i over heard him talking about a girl he is in love with. he said that she is perfect and she i she one for him. this made sense because just the other day i saw him in his room with all of the shades down. I think that it is good that Romeo is in love but i also think that he should not be this sad about it. i personally think that there are many girls out there that he could go after and he does not realize this yet. He is still young but i think he will find someone to love him back.
Melanie Straface period 6
ReplyDeleteRomeo is a family friend of mine, so I’ve known him for a while. He sometimes would come by where I used to work to talk for a while but recently I haven’t seen him here. His friends have told me that he has been very depressed lately over a girl named Rosaline. He stopped by a couple of days ago while I was working so I couldn’t talk to him for long. He sounded sad and he was talking very soft. Romeo told me that he loved her but she doesn’t have the same feeling for him. I tried to give him advice but he wouldn’t take it.
The Capulets and Montagues have been going on for a very long time. I don’t even remember when it started but I know from my parents that’s they are fighting about their wealth. Honestly I think that the fight is worthless and should stop. There was a party at the Capulets but I was not invited because I don’t really know the Capulets and they know that I work a lot with the Montagues.
I don’t really have an opinion if Paris and Juliet’s should marry because I don’t know them well enough. However some of my friend and people who have talked to me have told me that Pairs is a very nice and handsome man. I believe that people should be able who ever they like. However I do think that Paris is a little too old for a young girl like Juliet.
I know the nurse of the Capulets. She is a sweet and kind woman but sometimes she talks too much. She makes many inappropriate jokes and a lot of times when people make those kinds of joke they are immature, but sometimes I just have to laugh at some of the things that she says because it’s funny.
Jenn Moran
ReplyDeleteI’ve seen Romeo around but not that often, all I know that he is a Montague. Even though I don’t know him that well I’ve seen him a little depressed or upset for some reason. But what I did hear is that the Montague’s and Capulet got into a fight about which one was wealthier. But on my way to work I did hear that Romeo was upset because this girl broke his heart. I am not in favor of Paris and Juliet’s marriage because Juliet is too young and shouldn’t be forced to marry someone she is not comfortable being around with.
Michelle Aguirre (per.3)- I do know Romeo as someone who I casually run into occasionally. I used to have classes with him until I dropped out. Lately, I’ve seen him walking around aimlessly as if a lot has been on his mind, so I haven’t really interacted with him much recently. I do not know very much on the reasons of the feud the Montague’s and Capulet’s have between each other, but I do know very well that they do not get along, which is why I have chosen to be neutral. My family has had much bigger worries than what side to choose so I grew up just accepting the way things were for how they were. The invitation list was indeed very long, and I was invited to go (not my whole family though) since as a soldier I get many privileges but I did not attend because I don’t enjoy those types of gatherings where wealthy people walk around and talk pointlessly. About the marriage between Paris and Juliet, I’m sure Paris is a wonderful man and would take very good care of Juliet, but marriage is about love and if the love isn’t mutual then there can be no connection and they would just end up having a weak and bad relationship. The Nurse was one of my mother’s friends and knows me very well. She definitely isn’t afraid of speaking her mind and says whatever she wants, which I personally admire because as the humble and shy man that I am, I mostly keep all my thoughts to myself.
ReplyDeleteEmily Coash Period 7
ReplyDeleteLiving in Verona, you know pretty much everyone in the town. All though I do not know Romeo personally, I have heard of him and I suppose since he is on the Montague side, he is nothing but trouble. Being best friends with the Capulets directly, I know everything about the feud. The Montague's are terrible people. They should move out of Verona or at least stay out of the Capulets or people supporting the Capulets family hairs. My family has always been good friends with the Capulets. Lady Capulets and I grew up together and we basically consider each other as sisters. My daughter; Bella and Lady Capulets daughter; Juliette are good friends as well. Obviously, my family attended the party the Capulets threw the other night. My husband and I work when we need to but that is very rare because we both came from wealthy families. The party was very fun! I danced with my family, socialized with people all over town (Capulet side of course). During the party i met a young man named Paris. Lady Capulet had told me previously that Paris was going to be the one Juliette promises herself to. I think Paris was a fine gentlemen and he is good friends with Demetri, who is the young man my husband and I picked out to marry our daughter Bella. I think Juliette and Paris would make a lovely couple! Juliette is a young, beautiful, sweet, fun girl who deserves someone as kind and polite like Paris. I was talking to the Nurse of the Capulets and she agrees with me completely. All though the nurse talks about Juliette with rude jokes, i think we could all agree on Paris and Juliette being perfect for each other! The nurse has a very heavy sense of humor which i find disrespectful and rude. I think the Capulets should defiantly hire a new nurse!
Sydney Mueller (Period 3)
ReplyDeleteI have only heard rumors of Romeo Montague since I have been apart of the Capulet house for a few years now, but I have a few friends that work as servants in the Montagues house. They have seen Romeo sneaking around the house in to secret corridors and secluding himself for hours just sitting their mourning over a secret passion. It’s a shame that the Capulets and Montagues can not end this feud and reduce the amount of innocent violence in these streets, because it is worrying that one day someone that I love will make a reckless decision and become lost forever. I wish I knew how the feud started but sadly, I have only heard the Capulet side of the argument and the opinions that I have heard are not going to be changed easily. For the masquerade ball I was able to make Juliets dress, but I was not on the invited list since I am nothing but a servant for the Capulet house. My family did not even know there was a ball, and was astonished when I had returned home early that evening to join them for supper. I told them all the gossip I had recently heard, including the futre marriage between Paris and Juliet. There have been rumors that their wedding is to be arranged in two summers time. I think Paris would be a good fit for Juliet because he has the money and power to keep her happy and healthy for the rest of their life and make their children beautiful. I also heard gossip of what the nurse was saying in front of Lady Capulet and Juliet in her private quarters, and I was appalled at her behavior since she is given a good job and disrespects her superiors. She should fix her language, fix how she behaves in public and private, and be able to conduct herself to seem civilized.

ReplyDeleteI was right in the middle of town doing my daily routine going to get some lunch when I heard from my good friend Mercutio. That Romeo has found the love I his life and I was so happy for him because the last time I spoke to Mercutio he said that Rome was very depressed because of Rosaline. And the great news kept going when I was told that Romeo and Juliet both shared the same love for each other and are deeply in love for each other. But as me and Mercutio where walking I realised that it was allmost imposseble for them to be together because the fact that Romeo is a Montague and Julite Was a Capulite.But I hoped for the best for them and went on with ready of my day
Harrison Steins- Period 7
ReplyDeleteI do not know Romeo personally as I only associate with the Capulets, and my behavior has not faltered one bit, I am still perfectly content with my life. I only know what my elders have told me about the feud. Which is nothing, as a boy I learned that anything that the Montague's did was bed and that I should not like them, this is all I know and this is all I will instruct others. As always I was invited to the party and so was my entire family, I had a ball, and I will throw my own ball in return to show my gratitude. I would be so happy if the Capulets daughter married the fine man Paris, so that she would stay in the family (as everyone does) and so we may have another heiress to the thrown of the Capulet empire. I think there should be a grand wedding and all form the land (except Montague's) should attend. I am close friends with Lady Capulet and she is very dear to my heart. We go way back to when we were children and played in the same castles together. I feel that she is doing a wonderful job raising her daughter and throwing parties.
Carly Rutkovsky period 7
ReplyDeletei don't know romeo personally, but the little i do know of him i've picked up on from the help at the capulets. i also don't know much about how the feud between the capulets and montagues started but everyone can tell from the many outbursts in town, theres a lot of tension there. when the capulet's servant announced the party they were having, it wasn't a surprise to me that i wasn't invited. i'm just a simple baker who brings them bread now and again, no one special.
i recently heard from the nurse that the capulets wish for juliet to marry paris, but i don't know much of him either. i really don't associate with the upper class much, they're so arrogant and conceided i can't stand to be around them, and i hope juliet doesn't act like that when she ages. juliet's only 14 and paris is supposed to be 30 or so and i think that if they're together juliet will want to be free and young and he'll expect much more from her than she can provide as such a young bride. if they get married i doubt it will work out.
the nurse has told me many other things, she's quite funny actually and likes to babble about the people she works for. i've known her for only a short amount of time but she sure does like to open up quickly. i must be going, i have a baguette in the oven that i can't let burn!

Yes i know Romeo, i cook for him all the time, however, he hasnt called in awhile, i mean, i kinda miss cooking for him.
As much as i know Romeo, and how his family is in afeud with the capulets, he has never told me how it started. I guess its because he doesnt want anybody to know. I was not on the list to the party mainly because im a montague, even if i was on the list, i wouldnt have been able to go because i was working that night anyway.
I would not be in favor of Juliet and Paris getting married because i hear rumors about Juliet not liking Paris at all and that she has no interest, i feel its a bad idea. I know Juliet and i feel she is a very pretty young girl who was raised so that she treats everyone with respect and is never rude to people
i have heard rumors about romeo. i have heard that his parents are hard on him and that his cousin benvolio is like his best friend and very protective over him. i have known remeo for a little while and everytime i see him he always has something to say. i dont think it is right that juliet is getting married to paris because juliet doesnt even like him. her parents are forcing thje marriage. i have also heard that the family feud bw the capu;lets and montegues is very bad. thaty they both hate eachother.

ReplyDeleteRomeo seems to be the kind of person who is very romantic and emotional when it comes to females. Recently he has changed who he is in love with over the course of a day. my persona knows how the feud started and a little bit on the reason yet finds them fighting pointless. My name and my families names were not on the list because we are "blue collar" workers and are not in the upper middle class. I was working during the fight because I work many hours every day of the week. I would not be in favor of Romeo and Juliet because although they may be in love there families are enimies and with the fighting it will not work. I just think that the whole thing is unrealistic. I know the nurse, we used to be good friends at a young age. I think she has a very good sence of humor and is very nice.

Gabriella Rheingold- Period 6
ReplyDeleteYes i do know Romeo but have never spoken with him. Since I work for Juliet and her family I am not allowed to speak to him or his family. Although i do not know him directly, he seems like a very romantic and passionate young man when it comes to the women he loves/likes. I rarely see him around since i work as a maid for Juliet so i have not noticed a different in his behavior. My persona does not know about how the feud began between the families but in fact i have heard a lot going on in town about them two, and there definitely is something going on. Yes i most certainly am aware that the invitation list was very long, my name was not on the list not that i was surprised, all they need me for is the cooking; cleaning; and laundry. I do know that the Capulets want Juliet and Paris to be wed at once. In my opinion i do not think that Juliet should marry Paris, from what i hear they do not know each other very well, and she should not marry someone she barley knows. I hope Juliet is happy with whatever decision is made at the end.
I know who Romeo is, but i personally dont know him. I have heard that the feud between his family and the Capulets is very big. They hate one another and will do anything to keep there kids from seeing one another. Me, I have not changed very much, but I have been spending a little more time with my family. i can say that the invetation list was very long, my name was on it, including my family. I was not working that day so i was able to get all dressed up for the party that was going to happen that night. I know that there is going to be a marriage between Paris and Juliet. I dont think this is the right thing to do here because Juliets parents are forcing the marriage on her, and juliet doesent really love Paris. The only reason Juliets parents picked Paris was because they new him and thought that he would take care of Juliet the way that she should.
ReplyDeleteSteven Krgin Period 6
ReplyDeleteI have never really met Romeo so I don't know him personally but what I have heard came from the Capulets. I am not an expert on how the fighting began between the Montagues and Capulets but I can tell that it is not getting any better in any way. Many people including myself have noticed the multiple situations that have occurred between the two families. When I heard that the Capulets were having a party, I thought to myself maybe I was invited. I am a banker and I handle money of the Capulets. Even though I do this for them I am still not up to date on why the Capulets and Montagues dislike each other so much. But maybe if I am invited to the party I can find out more about it.
My thoughts and feeling about the marriage of Juliet and Paris are not so good. I have noticed that Juliet does not appreciate Paris very much. I think that Juliet should marry someone that she loves and not someone that was assigned to her. I hope Juliet will be able to choose who she marries.
Matt Miles Period 7-
ReplyDeleteI have never met Romeo in person and because of that I haven't really changed in behavior. I know that the Montagues and the Capulets have been fighting for a while. I think the feud began due to a disagreement between the 2 families. My name was not on the invitation list however I was the baker at the party and was hired by Lady Capulet. I am not in favor of a marriage between Paris and Juliet because I think that Juliet doesn't love him and I thought that love was a part of marriage so I think that loving one another is a part of marriage. i don't think marriage should be chosen I think that it should happen by fate. I know Juliet. I think that she is a sweet girl who is being controlled by a mother who is narcassistic and doesn't care about Juliet. I think her mother only cares about continuing the family wealth. Besides from this I think Juliet is a benevolent woman and will be one when she grows up.
met Romeo through Juliette. She’s my best friend and our family's share the same blood, but when i saw Romeo I knew he was unique. I tried to find ways to push Romeo and him into the same place as so they can meet but my attempts never seemed to follow through properly. I don't know much about how our feud started but all I know is I was raised to hate Romeos family for as far as I can remember. Being as I have no job occupation due to my family's wealth and my closeness to Juliette's family I was on their guest list and saw firsthand the begging exchanges between Romeo and Juliette. at first I was all for Paris and Juliette getting married but i realized that i wasn't thinking independently so I started to open my mind to new ideas, and when Romeo came into the picture i knew that the two were meant for each other.

ReplyDeleteAct I, scene ii
I don’t know Romeo personally but him and his family has bought food from me and my husband’s food mart before. I have not seen him lately but he was always a nice gentleman when he came in. All my family knows is how the Capulet’s and Montague’s are on opposing side and have been in a huge fight for a very long time. I recently heard that there was a brawl between Tybalt, Mercutio and Romeo but apparently Romeo was just trying to stop them from fighting. I and my husband’s name were not on the invitation list because we just sell the food to the families we are not close friends.
Act I, scene iii
Paris and Juliet getting married do not bother me because I do not know her. However I feel that Paris is a little too old for Juliet. I believe Juliet should be able to marry who she wants so that she is happy and does not have to be judged by her family. Unfortunately her pants are very judging so when Juliet wants to marry Romeo her pants get mad and upset because the two families are at war. They think Paris is the best for her even though other people do not agree with it. I met Juliet at the food mart and we started talking about her and Romeo. I think Juliet is a very nice young woman so I believe she should be able to choose who she wants to marry because her feeling is true love not a set up like with Paris.
Andrea Roos, Period 4
ReplyDeleteI know Romeo personally because I work for the Montague Family. He has always been a hopeless romantic ever since he was young but lately he’s been oddly chasing after a girl who said she’d rather stay a virgin for life than not be with him, well that is if my eavesdropping is correct. Although I’m not concerned about Romeo’s sadness because knowing him he will get over his grief in a small amount of time. However, I just hope that girl Rosaline comes from a good family and has no relationship with the Capulet’s. I'm not trying to make anyone get the wrong idea though, because I do think that the feud between the families is probably one of the most childish things I've ever seen. I'm not very sure about how this whole hatred started but I think gossiping,fighting, and even killing is a pointless waste of time. On top of that this prevents me from being invited to any event hosted by the Capulet's which includes the Mascarade Ball that was held last night. Even though the invitation list was very long, it didn't have my name on it. so I spent my night working for the Montague’s, like I do every night. Then again even if I was free I wouldn’t be attending due to myself being associated with the Montague’s along with a history of poverty and no relatives due to all of them dying off from the black plague. Although I do not mind missing out on a party I’m sure everyone person in Verona who is friendly with the Capulet’s will be talking about it tomorrow and who they danced with. Knowing my ugly self , I'd probably be upset seeing people happily dancing together.
but I've heard some gossip about Juliet Capulet possibly marrying Count Paris. I myself, do not really mind the Capulet's let alone know them personally so I cannot judge. However, I believe that arranged marriages are unfair and seeing them happen all the time in Verona is sad to see people who actually have a chance to love someone but end up being with someone they don't truly love. Considering Juliet is a Capulet sometime tells me that Paris might be interested in her family's wealth and his physical attraction for her.
