Romeo And Juliet Dialectical Journal

I can see the moon from here. She just came up over that building.(...) I’ve always loved the moon. I’ll even go out looking for her when she is not in sight. We read Romeo and Juliet in school last year and I was surprised and kind of mad when Juliet called the moon unreliable- “inconstant” she called it. I tried to start a discussion about it in class, but it didn’t really go over. Juliet seemed to be saying that since the moon was never in the same place from one night to the next that it was “inconstant”. I think she just liked to hear the sound of her own voice.

Juliet was very beautiful. Romeo couldn’t talk to her for five seconds without going on and on about how beautiful she was. The thing is, five seconds earlier he was going on

and on about someone else.
But I think the moon is very constant. She’s always there. Not in the same place all the time, and you can’t always see her, but she is always there somewhere. And tonight, she is right over that building. Just a little sliver on her way across the great big sky.
