Forbidden Love Romeo and Juliet and The Westside Story are terrific books that have many similarity and differences. Romeo and Juliet is about a young love that their parents don’t get along and will not allow them to see each other. The Westside Story is about two gangs, the Jets and the Sharks. A member from the Jets, Anton, falls in love with a member from the Shark’s sister, Maria. The two gangs don’t get along. These two books turn up having a lot in common, but have many that they don’t have in common. These two stories have a different time setting. Romeo and Juliet took place in the 1400s in Italy. The Westside Story took place in New York City in the 1950s. They have different ways for speaking. Romeo and Juliet have that Shakespear way of communicating, but The Westside Story has more way of talking the every we do now in days. In the Westside Story they didn’t like each other because of race. In Romeo and Juliet, they cant be together because their parents don’t like each other. Romeo is a Montague and Juliet is a Capulet. These two families have hate each other from many centuries, and neither family will forgive and forget the past. Also, in Romeo and Juliet, Juliet dies but, in The Westside Story, Maria lives. Even though these stories have many differences they have a lot in common. Romeo and Anton both die from their love. The boys both meet there soul mate at some type of dance. The love Anton felt for Maria and the love Romeo felt for Juliet made them deny their families. Juliet and Maria’s family both had a guy picked out for them, and they ended up loving Romeo and Anton. Juliet cut herself off from the Nurse, her parents and her social status when she followed Romeo. Maria cut loose from her family, her dead brother’s memory and her social circle when she decided to run away with Anton. There are many characters that are alike in the stories Romeo and Juliet and The Westside Story. The Sharks, in the story The Westside Story, are like the Capulets in Romeo and Juliet, and the Jets are like the Montagues. Romeo is like Tony because they are both falling in love with a woman from a rival’s family. Benvolio is like Baby John because there always wanting to keep the peace. Tybalt is Bernardo because there both a relative of Maria or Juliet, their both obsessed with fighting the other side, and Tony or Romeo kills Tybalt or Bernardo. Anita is the Nurse because they help Maria or Juliet through this hard time. Romeo and Juliet and The Westside Story are very romantic stories. I personally like Romeo and Juliet better because I don’t like musicals. I didn’t understand the musical part of the story. Even though Romeo and Juliet was hard to understand because of its traditional dialectic it was still a more romantic story. In conclusion, Romeo and Juliet and The Westside Story were both similar romantic books. There character are a lot alike. They main idea is also alike. The Westside Story is just a modern version of Romeo and Juliet.

Critique my Romeo and Juliet essay
Critique my Romeo and Juliet essay?
I know it isn't very good, but i need help with fixing it up a bit and making it sound better. In the tragic story of Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, the two lovers, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet of Verona, Italy, are sentenced to their death by the decisions they make. The lovers are separated by their feuding families, causing them to make many rash and impulsive decisions; their actions are very sudden and given little thought. This in turn ends their love, and their lives. "These violent delights have violent ends, and in their triumph die; like fire and powder which as they kiss consume" (Act II Scene VI). In this tragic story, Romeo makes many rash decisions. First impulsive decision is to go to a dinner held by the Capulets, the enemy family, knowing his current love, Rosaline, will be there. At the party, Romeo sees Juliet for the first time, immediately forgetting Rosaline. “O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear; Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!†(Act I Scene V). Romeo thinks Juliet holds all the beauty of the world, and nothing can compare to her. The second decision is to visit Juliet from the garden under her balcony. He knows the risks, and if he were to get caught he would be killed by the guards. The same night, he proposed marriage to Juliet, who would send her nurse to Romeo the next day, the day of their sudden marriage. The day of the marriage, Romeo got in a battle with Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt. The brawl began with a letter to the Montague household concerning Romeo’s presence at the party the night before. Romeo’s friend Mercutio first took on a battle with the enemy, ending in his own death. Romeo’s impulses resulted in him seeking revenge from his wife’s cousin, beginning another duel, and ending with the death of Tybalt. Romeo ran to the Friar with the punishment of being banished from Verona forever for killing Tybalt. Romeo is sent to Mantua, where he is told his wife has died. He races back to Verona for proof, “O my love, my wife! Death, that hath suck'd the honey of thy breath Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty†Act V Scene III). Romeo kills himself when he sees a dead Juliet in her family’s tomb. Juliet’s decisions also contribute to the tragic deaths of the lovers. After some persuasion, Juliet agrees to marry the boy she has only known for a few hours. She is to send her nurse to Romeo the next day. Her next decision that truly contributes to the tragedy is agreeing to marry a man named Paris to please her parents. Earlier that day, Friar gave her a potion that only the two know will put her into a deep sleep, to all others she will appear dead. The wedding is scheduled one day earlier than planned, causing her to take the potion earlier. The Friar has less time to contact Romeo, and Romeo is informed that Juliet is dead, without knowing she only took a sleeping potion. The Friar would have Romeo ready for Juliet when she awoke from her temporary death, letting them be reunited without losing the love of their families, but Romeo never got the message. Juliet kills herself after seeing her husband dead on the floor of the tomb. Romeo and Juliet die due to the rash decisions they made throughout their story. Their decisions are very impulsive and rash. The death of these star-crossed lovers brings the feuding families together for once. They both have grievances for the loss of their beloved children, but put the past behind them and try to get along. Each family vows to make a statue of the other’s child, in honor of their deceased children.
