Manik told me our "love story" had to be as secretive as Romeo & Juliet's.
I agreed.
Obviously, an actor and ex-band member of a popular band in the country wouldn't want his reputation dented by being seen with a commoner like me. In my right mind, I still couldn't believe what I had done. I sealed a deal with a celebrity to help me fall in love. He probably had a girlfriend.
Making weird faces while emerged in deep thinking, an irritating tapping noise disrupted me.
I opened my bedroom door and saw Chachi standing with a tired expression.
"Nandu, can you fetch some groceries for me from the market? The list and money is on the dining table." She kept a cool voice with no smile. I nodded. She turned and left giving me a satisfied look.

Well, he did try. And the effort ended pretty quickly. I followed behind him, waiting for it to dawn on him that he had forgotten about me. He kept gesturing towards different vendors and saying things as if he was chatting with me. It was about ten steps when Manik finally stopped and frowned at …show more content…
"AG?"
"Will tell you the meaning another day," he said nonchalantly. I followed up quickly and tripped over a banana peel on the dirty road.
Because Manik was right in front me, I fell on top of him, my lips smashing against his in the process. My eyes popped wide at the scenario and saw Manik mirroring my expression. His soft lips--tasting of mint--probably felt squashed under my lipstick stained ones. My cheeks flushed and heart raced from the embarrassment. One of Manik's hands rested on my waist and the other had landed on my butt in the mini-accident. My senses suddenly became extra sensitive and body extra conscious.
I didn't know what to do.
Manik and I were lost in our own world as our bodies pressed again each other's. His hand on my butt cautiously slid up to my waist and he squeezed my waist.
Alarmed by his actions, I rolled off.
Thankfully, we were in a more isolated zone, away from the street vendors.
"Nothing happened," Manik said as he stood up.
I stood up, dusting the sand off my clothes.
"I'm so so--" I

The Deaths of Romeo and Juliet Was it just one person’s fault, or a mixture? In this essay, I will include many different reasons as to why Romeo and Juliet die. I will explain in detail each point and put forward my own opinions. I will use quotes to back up each point and explain why the historical context is relevant.
Life is filled with difficult situations and tough choices to make. The question is, should we choose to make them ourselves? Some people feel it's best to do things alone, while others do not. For example, most of the characters in The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare that are analyzed in the text, “What’s the Rush?: Young Brains Cause Doomed Love” by Lexi Tucker, do not consider other’s opinions at all. However, the opinions of people who love us positively affect our choices so it would be smart to consider them in most cases, but not in those that are very personal.
In William Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, these two protagonists were too blinded by others decisions and love to act with intelligence which ultimately leads to their deaths. These characters lived in a world where their love had to be kept secret or it would have been broken, which is why the characters looked to wiser peers for help. The deep feelings each lover had for one another was influenced by their family and three people who made destructive choices. Which leads the characters being most responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s deaths are Friar Lawrence, County Paris, and Lord Capulet
Belief is a fickle thing. You really don’t get any physical benefit or lack thereof simply for belief. Psychologically, however, belief can be a very powerful thing. It can also be so in ways that we are simply incapable of understanding with our limited knowledge. But in any case, I would have to say that simply believing in fate is not enough to avoid physical consequences, but can occasionally lift some psychological burden off one’s metaphysical shoulders. This theme comes time and time again in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. The characters in the play often believe strongly in fate, using it to avoid psychological burden, but more often than not, their belief is in vain.
In society, people have varying opinions on fate. Many question whether life’s events are pre-determined by fate or whether people have a destiny to serve a greater purpose. Fate versus free will is an archaic topic among philosophers that is ultimately up for interpretation.The question on whether or not something else is controlling life’s events or if they are simply a coincidence faces us in some point of our lives. In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare plays with the idea of fate and its control on the events in the play. He forces us to realize the destiny between Romeo and Juliet involves the fate between the two opposing households as well. Shakespeare blurs the line between fate and free will in his play Romeo and Juliet to show that the outstanding cause of Romeo and Juliet’s tragedy was not something decided- it was fate. It is evident by the events in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet that fate was the main cause of the tragedy in the play, and that Romeo and Juliet held the destiny to finally end the feud between the Capulets and the Montagues.

On a cold, rainy day, Juliet went to Stater Brothers to get food for dinner. She was good friends with the manager there. “Hi Juliet,” said Marcy, the manager as Juliet walked in. “Hi Marcy! How are you doing?,” Juliet responded. Marcy said back happily, “Just fine thank you.” Juliet walked away and headed to the fruits and vegetables isle. When she was there, Juliet noticed a creepy, tall man dressed in all black. Juliet thought that she should keep a safe distance. “Onions, onions, onions,” Juliet said to herself.

I knew what pleasure could be derived from the touch of a human hand, lips, and tongue. I felt slighted, left out. I felt used with a capitol U, and as he snuggled next to me, content in his selfishness, my anger grew. “What the hell was that?” burst from my lips before I could stop myself.
