Tybalt and Love

Tybalt is a character in the play who is  not very fond about love or having good relationships. He shows this clearly in the play. He doesn't really get along with everyone and he doesn't really love someone.  His view on love is shown in the first scene when he fights with the Montague's.

Good and Bad Relationships in Romeo and Juliet

One example  of a good relationship is between Juliet and The Nurse. This relationship is an example of a mother and daughter. A quote from the play is "But first let me tell ye, if ye shall lead her into a fool's paradise, as they say, it were a very gross kind of behavior, as they say. For the gentlewomen is young, and therefore, if you should deal double with her, truly it were an I'll thing to be offered to any gentlewomen, and very weak dealing" She said that to Romeo. That line is saying that Romeo better not use Juliet and it better be for real. I also think that this is a bad relationship because the nurse makes decisions which should have made by Juliet's mom. 

An example of a dysfunctional relationship is between Tybalt and Mercutio. I think this is an example of a dysfunctional relationship because they cant seem to find good in one another. In the play Mercutio says that Tybalt is "The prince of cats" which basically means hes quick on his feet. That is one good thing i could find between this relationship. I don't think Tybalt wanted to kill Mercutio, but instead i think it happened in the heat of the moment. My opinion about this relationship is that it has some good and some bad parts. 

I believe William Shakespeare thinks that there is always good and bad in a relationship. Because it is more common in real life than a good/good relationship. 

Interm Report

I think I'm doing pretty well in this class because i have finished the assignments on time and to the best of my ability. I have around 25 comments and i should work on giving some more feedback. I also believe i lack in participating in class, because of my shyness. If i need help for a starting point for example an essay or a story i would ask Jagdeep and he would give me some good ideas. In this class i improved my computer skills and increased my knowledge of computer technology and shortcuts on the keyboard.

Relationships

The three poems we read were all about relationships but in a different way. The first poem we read was "How was Your Heart" by Charles Bukowski. The second poem we read was "To a Stranger" by Walt Whitman and the last poem was "Unentitled" Jennifer L'Hirondelle.

"How was Your Heart" is about how the author had a bad relationship with his dad. He writes about what his dad did to him. This poem is also about not having a girlfriend and how he had to go to whore houses. His life was pretty bad but he still had hope. "What matters is how you walk through the fire", that line represents how he still had a positive look and how he handled the situation through the rough times. 

"To a Stranger" is about a relationship that he never had. He wishes that he has a perfect life or a perfect relationships. The author also thought that nobody liked him. 

"Unentitled" is a different type of a relationship. Its a human to a non-human relationship. The poem is about how the author loves nature and how she always feels at home.
