“Had me at Hello” by Olivia Holt: This song pairs well with Act 1 Scene 5, the scene where Romeo walks into the Capulet's’ party looking for Rosaline but he spots Juliet and instantly falls in love with her. The verse “you don’t have to try to hard, you already have my heart, you don’t got a thing to prove, i’m already into you” relates to when Romeo then went up and talked to Juliet and is instantly in love with Romeo. When Juliet says “for saints have hands that pilgrims hands do touch, and palm to palm is holy palmers kiss” she is basically encouraging Romeo to make the first move and kiss her, that proves that Juliet already has fallen in love with him. The verse “Hold, hold, hold, hold me tight now, cause i'm so, so good to go, don’t say,
Feeling unwanted from the closest people in your life who turn away from you when you need them the most, is the worst feeling a person can endure. I chose the song “My Story” by Sean McGee, because people young and old can relate to his song. People from different backgrounds can relate to each other when there are living homeless or raised as a foster child. Sean McGee wrote “my daddy don’t know, my momma don’t care, it don’t matter if I’m here, it don’t matter if I’m dead” people all around the world have the same issues and share a common culture. A master status is the most important status a person occupies, this is a key factor in determining a person’s social position.
“Then He Kissed Me” by The Crystals contains a stylistic technique of layering. In the beginning of the song, it starts out with a guitar solo and then more instruments are continuously added in one at a time, along with the singers. The sound is rich and complete with multiple instruments layering in the background, which means that doubling and/or triple rhythm sections were used. The instruments blend together to create a single effect that builds up to a climax. Near the end of “Then He Kissed Me”, each instrument gradually drops out one at a time to create a decrescendo effect in the sound, counteracting the layering technique in the beginning of the song.
Romeo says that his hands are not worthy enough to touch Juliet’s’ hand and if she’s offended by him touching her hand then he can make it all better with a kiss. But, Juliet thinks his hands are worthy enough to touch hers and them holding hands is like they’re kissing.
Yet when Romeo sees Juliet for the first time, he forgets all about Rosaline and instantly falls for Juliet. In Act 1.5, Romeo is the first to spot Juliet and immediately feels an attraction to her. In addition, Romeo thinks Juliet is very beautiful and convinces her to kiss him without knowing each other. Then in Act 2.1, Romeo pursues Juliet and goes to her balcony and begins to profess his love for her. When Romeo is swearing that he is in love with Juliet, she stops him and says everything is happening so quickly.
Juliet`s beauty instantaneously mesmerizes Romeo, which ultimately diminishes his previous affection for Rosaline. In this scene, impulsive behavior and decision- making are greatly portrayed. During Romeo and Juliet`s first encounter, he asks for a kiss “[my] lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready to stand, / To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss” (I.v.95-96). On his initial reaction to seeing her, Romeo boldly approaches Juliet with the sudden desire to kiss her. Romeo`s coaxing portrays his persistent personality and the strong emotion he feels towards her to which is far beyond his control. Consequently, the overpowering feeling that has taken over Romeo, which causes him to ask for a kiss from someone he met moments ago. Ultimately, Romeo`s decision to ask for a kiss
It shows that he prioritized her looks above anything else which by definition is not true love. Subsequently after “meeting” the couples short term infatuation becomes more apparent. Romeo pulls Juliet into a hallway and convinces Juliet to kiss him, “My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a render kiss” (1.5.95-96). Romeo’s actions once again prove that he is not truly in love. Instead of getting to know Juliet he decides to kiss her. The two demonstrate that any non physical characteristics are close to irrelevant to each other. After their affair Romeo leaves the Capulet’s party. Juliet then turns to nurse to and asks for Romeo’s name. Nurse responds by telling Juliet that she knows not who the man was, “What’s he that follows here that would not dance”? “I know not” (1.5.132). The simple action is all that is
“Over There” is a song written by George M. Cohan in 1917. Nora Bayes, Enrico Caruso, Billy Murray, Arthur Fields, and Charles King were among many who recorded the song. It was written as a propaganda piece encouraging young American men to join the army to fight in World War I. The song was incredibly popular, selling over two million copies of sheet music and one million copies of recordings by the end of the war. Cohan, the writer, was eventually even awarded a Congressional Medal of Honor for his work on this song.
That is another example of Shakespeare's convincing portrayal. of the power of love and thus love at first sight. The part of the play where Romeo first sees Juliet is a very important part of how Shakespeare convinces the reader that love at first sight exists, however Shakespeare also places some doubt in the readers' minds.... ... middle of paper ... ...and sex very closely in this play and the first meeting is no exception to this. This is again proof to the reader that Romeo and Juliet is in love with me.
Romeo says he is only going to rejoice in splendor of his own. Romeo believes he will only ever be in love with Rosaline. But, what he doesn’t know is he will soon fall in love with a girl named Juliet at the ball.
Romeo and Juliet is one of the most famous love tales, but what if the play is not actually a tale of love, but of total obsession and infatuation. Romeo has an immature concept of love and is rather obsessive. Romeo is not the only person in the play who is obsessed though. Many people throughout the play notice his immaturities about love. Very rarely was true love actually shown in the play. attention. Romeo childishly cries to his friend, Benvolio because Rosaline will not love him back and says " She hath forsworn to love, and in that vow/ Do I live dead that live to tell it now" (I i 219-220). Romeo is stating that he's ready to die for loving Rosaline. This is exactly the same attitude Romeo had towards Juliet a little later in the play. During Scene I, Act ii, Romeo's friend, Benvolio tries to get him to go to the Capulet's party to help him get over Rosaline and meet other women Romeo gets very angry and emotional when he suggests this. “Now Romeo is beloved and loves again, / Alike bewitched by the charm of looks” (II 5-6). The chorus expresses Romeo’s juvenile way...
“Now everybody dresses alike. That’s the problem with progress” (Bauer 53). That quote is in the book Hope was Here by Joan Bauer. It is explaining how you could always tell who the bad guys were versus who the good guys were in the olden days because the bad guys wore capes and all black. Now everyone dresses alike so it is harder to tell, but if you knew Hope Yancey you could tell she is one of the good ones. Her along with her aunt, Addie, travel around the country looking for places Addie could cook at, most of them being diners. Soon they end up in the small town of Mulhoney, Wisconsin filled with lots of cows, diners, and corruption going on. They had recently found a job at a diner with an owner suffering from cancer, names G.T. who
Romeo, one of the star-crossed lovers, is affected by his feelings for Juliet. In the beginning, Romeo is desperately in love with Rosaline. Romeo mopes around describing his love as “too rough, too rude, too boist’rous, and it pricks like thorn” (1.4.25- 26) because Rosaline did not feel the same way about him. When Romeo lays eyes on Juliet for the first time, he forgets all about Rosaline and exclaims, “Did my heart love till now? Forswear i...
For act 4 scene 5, we chose the song ‘I’d Die For You’ by Bon Jovi because in this scene, Juliet drinks a potion that could possibly kill her. We chose the lyrics "I'd die for you, I'd cry for you, I'd do anything, I'd lie for you" because Juliet would risk anything just to be with Romeo even if it meant she could be harmed from it. For act 5 scene 3, we chose the song A Thousand Years by Christina Perri because in this scene, it is where both Romeo and Juliet commit suicide because they love each other so much that they could not live without each other. We chose these lyrics because of that, "I have died every day, waiting for you. Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years, I'll love you for a thousand more.
When Romeo meets Juliet, he claimed to be immediately in love. Although he has been sulking over Rosaline, when he met Juliet, he states, “Did my heart love till now? forswear it sight! For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night” (Act 1.5 Lines 51-52). The entire time as he envisions love with Rosaline, it was all incoherent. Romeo’s impulsive attitude causes him to fall head over heels with Juliet, which begins the drama in this play.
I was nervous entering the Capulet’s house at first I thought we would have been caught. When I saw Juliet I knew she was the one I loved her so much she was so beautiful. I just wanted to not let her go. I know that she loves me and my empty spot with Rosaline is gone finished my chin has been healed with Juliet’s love. And my lips have been sealed with her lips. What a beautiful day.
