Impulsiveness in Romeo & Juliet
"Wisely and slow: they stumble that run fast"(Pg 91, Line 97) those
words spoken by Friar Laurence. Words we must listen too. Impulsiveness leads
to downfall, and therefore people must strike a balance between being impulsive,
and being pragmatic. Time and time again Shakespeare showed us how
impulsiveness leads to tragedy.
First off, Capulet was a prudent, well-balanced person most of the time.
When Paris told Capulet that he wanted to marry Juliet, Capulet said "Let two
more summers wither in their pride/Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride"(Pg
27, Lines 10-11) because he wanted to look out for Juliet and wanted to make
sure she was ready. Though he did tell him to "woo her, gentle Paris, get her
heart;/My will to her consent is but a part" because he was still not passing up
this opportunity for his daughter. Capulet was also practical when Tybalt
spotted Romeo during the Capulet feast, Tybalt wanted to do the impulsive thing
and kill Romeo, but Capulet thought for a second about the consequences. Tybalt
said "I'll not endure him" and Capulet told him emphatically "he shall be
endur'd"(pg. 57, Lines 77 & 78). In this scene Capulet prevented a huge
Montegue and Capulet confrontation by thinking first and not doing the impulsive
suggested by Tybalt. Through thinking these actions through, problems were
prevented.
However, Capulet was at times, a very rash person, and that lead to much
of the misfortune in this play. Hours after Romeo killed Tybalt, Capulet acted
on haste in Act III, Scene 4 and told Paris "I will make a desperate tender/Of
my child's love: I think she will be rul'd/In all respects by me; nay more, I
doubt it not....And bid her, mark you on me, on Wednesday next-" and then
continued to sound delirious saying "Wednesday is too soon;/ O' Thursday let it
be:...She shall be married to this noble earl" and at this point Capulet has
become selfish and impulsive. His daughter does not love Paris, but Capulet is
not thinking because Tybalt had just died. When Juliet refused to marry Paris,
Capulet exploded, and didn't think at all by telling Juliet, "get thee to

Romeo and Juliet is a timeless tale of lovers who's misfortune and immaturity was a cause of their own destruction. The characters individually show immaturity and together demonstrate how ignorance of the world effects more than just their own lives. Romeo and Juliet, as expressed in the succeeding examples, fall in love quickly as a result of their naivety.
Reckless actions lead to untimely deaths. In Shakespeare’s tragedy “Romeo and Juliet”, both protagonists fight for their hopeless love. Bloodshed and chaos appear inevitable in fair Verona; Romeo and Juliet come from enemy households, the Montegues and the Capulets, who have sworn to defeat one another. The young and handsome Romeo weeps over his unrequited love for Rosaline, until he lays his eyes on Juliet. Strong and independent, Juliet seeks to escape her family’s will to marry her off to Paris, a kinsman of the Prince. Fate ties these adolescents’ lives together binding them to witness the ill-fortunes of Romeo and Juliet’s love. Romeo and Juliet prove themselves woefully impulsive through their words and actions, which ultimately lead them along a series of unfortunate mishaps.
The first category, the occasional friends, encompasses three friend types. The first one is the grenade. This type of friend is usually annoying and tough to be around but they serve a critical purpose. They make you look better by comparison. Slightly better than the grenade, is the jerk with the heart of gold. Like the grenade they are generally annoying but unlike the grenade they are genuin...
In life we come across many people. Some will hate us while others will adore us. The ones who hate us can be referred to as enemies and the ones who show us adoration are referred to as friends. There are three types of friends. They are the aquaintinces we make in school, the friends we loose as one grows, and best friends who may stray, but never too far away.
Online and in-store shopping differentiates in various ways. However, they both are convenient ways to shop. Recently, online shopping has been most convenient for me, but I enjoy both ways of shopping. I believe that shopping preferences change depending on a person’s situation. I noticed that many people are starting to prefer online shopping more than in-store shopping.
On a conscious level, we rarely spend much time actually thinking about and classifying our friends. However, since I was a small child, my mother taught me to recognize and appreciate various types of friends. I have discovered that there are three different types of friends. I group them according to how well I know them and how well they know me. We encounter each type of friend everyday, whether in school, home, or at the gym. First, there are the "pest friends"- general acquaintances. Next, there are "guest friends"- social partners. Lastly, we have "best friends"- our true friends.
Friendship is the most wonderful relationship that anyone can have. Ideally a friend is a person who offers love and respect and will never leave or betray us. Friends can tell harsh truths when they must be told. There are four different types of friends: True friends, Convenient friends, Special interest friends, and historical friends. To have friendship is to have comfort. In times of crisis and depression, a friend is there to calm us and to help lift up our spirits.
When comparing two different ways of shopping most people do not even think about, they do both and not even realize it. In today?s society people shop while at work, after work and on the weekends, whenever time permits. Did you ever stop and think how can I get more time in the day for family or just myself? The best way to figure out with all the recourses we have; still most of us go into a store and spend time looking through racks and waiting in endless line to just purchase something. I compared going into a store verses online shopping; to see which on will save you time and money.
Computer technology not only has solved problems but also has created some, including a certain amount of culture shock as individuals attempt to deal with the new technology. A major role of computer science has been to alleviate such problems, mainly by making computer systems cheaper, faster, more reliable, easier to use.
Computers have changed the way that the world works in many different ways. Some of these changes are positive and some of these changes have had negative effects on our lives. From an industrial standpoint most of these changes have been helpful to businesses and the economy. In the medical field computers have had an impact in many different areas, ranging from the way appointments are made to the carrying out of everyday tasks.
The computer evolution has been an amazing one. There have been astonishing achievements in the computer industry, which dates back almost 2000 years. The earliest existence of the computer dates back to the first century, but the electronic computer has only been around for over a half-century. Throughout the last 40 years computers have changed drastically. They have greatly impacted the American lifestyle. A computer can be found in nearly every business and one out of every two households (Hall, 156). Our Society relies critically on computers for almost all of their daily operations and processes. Only once in a lifetime will a new invention like the computer come about.
