If I had to describe Romeo, I would say he is very dramatic. He's dramatic because its almost as if he over reacts over everything. "Too smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss." it goes without saying, this statement didn't need to be as detailed and, awkward... He's also almost like an 'old school player' for lack of a better phrase. Reason being, he kind of goes after any girl he desires and doesn't care what the consequences. However, Romeo is more of a lover rather than fighter. He chooses to be civil rather than get mad and make it an on going argument.

Romeo Montague's Characteristics



Romeo’s character is very mope at the start because Roslyn his lover wants to be a nun and that is not what Romeo wants. Now that he has found Juliet he has gotten happier and he is now in love with the Capulets daughter Juliet. He finds Juliet at the Capulet party and instantly falls in love. Romeo and Juliet both have a case of love on first sight and they are both very respectful to their families and they love each other every much. "Oh romeo, oh Romeo why are you Romeo deny your father and refuse your name and ill no longer be a Capulet"(pg.84). This shows that Juliet loves romeo and he knows that because he was listening to her. "If your intentions are honorable and your object is marriage  then send me a word tomorrow where and will you will go through the ceremony my life will then be yours" (93).

Discribing romeo?

Romeo is a Montague who doesn't believe in violence, and is love-struck with Juliet,  also he is love-stuck because in act 1 scene 5 Romeo saw Romeo and thought to him self that he wants to marry Juliet .

What i think about that young romeo

In the play Romeo and Juliet by William shakesphere I get a sense that Romeo easily fall I love with any one who is beautiful. I believe that he is because a day before he met Juliet he was in love with a girl named Rosaline who was a nun, and a day later he was love-struck with Juliet. I  also believe that Romeo has a golden tongue "As a rich jewel in Ethiops ear." Also I believe that Romeo is a huge lady's man. "Tickle the senseless rushes with their heels." This quote shows that Romeo tickles women with his tongue, the way he speaks to women. All in all I am not surprised that Juliet fell in love with him.

Oh Romeo, Thou Art Romeo!



In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Romeo is very love-struck.  In act one scene one it states, “Out of favour where I am in love” (Shakespeare 34). This shows that when Romeo sees a beautiful girl, and he falls in love. Romeo feels that time runs by so slow when someone is in love. He could also be considered a lady’s man because he says nice things about women. One thing Romeo says is, “Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear” (Shakespeare 68). This quote shows that he “knows” how to get the women. He always tries to sweet talk them. From the parts we have read, I like Romeo. Romeo always strives for love. He won’t give up on it, even if others want him too. I don’t identify with him at all. This is because I don’t say I’m in love with someone and then say nope, this person is better. If I’m truly in love with someone, I will stay in love with them no matter what.

Romeo's character

So far I think that Romeo is very love struck, a pacifist and he is very not fight worthy. He is love struck because he just wants to fall in love with a girl, so far most of theses women have been very not nice to him and they don't want to be in a relationship with him. He has just now fallen in love with Juliet and it makes him happy because she loves him too so this makes him very love struck about women and how they feel about him. He is also a pacifist this is because he doesn't really want to fight anybody he is sort of nice and sweet about everything. He doesn't even ever show up at the brawls between the two families so I feel this makes him a pacifist. Last i feel that Romeo is not very fight worthy. I feel that he doesn't want to fight anyone and if he did he probably would lose because he is to scrawny. In conclusion, this is what  i think of Romeo so far.

I believe that some people have advantages in sports do too how they were born.  Genetically some people are born taller than others.  This gives them an advantage in basketball, because they can get to the rebound or shoot over people much easier.

Gladwell’s opinion was that people who are born earlier like in January tend to be more talented or stronger in what they do.  He used the example of hockey and how if they are bigger built and stronger they will be a much better player, will get to play with higher leagues so he will get better with the competition, and he will be more mature so he will be more committed and want to practice more.

I agree with him because people who are born earlier are old for their age, so sometimes they will be stronger than the average age group he is in.  This will be an advantage for them because it would be easier for them to get around the guy and you could shoot much harder.  The chapter for sure made me rethink what I said, because it is so true that if you are stronger and more mature you will do much better in the sport you play.

He used a hockey roster with their date of birth so you could see that most of the hockey players were born in that time period.  They were very convincing because I saw that most of the hockey players were born in the month on January and that proves the point that they are good at what they do because they are older than their age group.
