The feud has ended with just having one of people of each houses Capulets and Montegues dead in Verona Beach. A tragedy has happen Romeo and Juliet have died together knowing they were in love. By each others families being enemies this was the cause they would've have been together. This all started with Romeo his heart had just been broken by Rosaline. Then his friend Mercuctio insisted him to come with him to the Capulets party were Romeo falls in love with Juliet.They start seeing each other secretly knowing that they are enemies.There was also other deaths like Mercuctio and Tybalt. Mercuctio was just being a brave friend to stand up for Romeo because Tybalt was furious of him being in the party but it ended up with Mercuctio death. Then Romeo stands up to him because his gets mad because he killed his loyal friend and kills Tybalt. Before that all happen Romeo and Juliet were already married secretly by the friar. When Juliet finds out of his death she breaks down because that was her cousin. Her family was insisting her to get married with Paris a good wealthy man.Although she didn't want to get married to him so the friar helped her. He planned to make her drink a potion so people could think she was dead. It worked we all did so did Romeo leading to his death. He was supposed to know but he got there late seeing Juliet dead and he killed himself. Although it all went wrong Juliet woke up from her deep sleep seeing her love dieing so she kills herself.Just because the families weren't getting along didn't mean this had to happen. This caused allot of range to the Prince causing him to punish everyone.



Romeo was the guy that was in loved with Juliet. He was a 17 years old boy which family was an enemy of Juliet a Capulet. He was related to Benvolio, Lord Montague, and Lady Montague. He loved to get himself in trouble just to be with Juliet which he really loved. He was very romantic and handsome. Although he started to get more sentimental from being with Juliet. He also suffered a lot at first his dearest friend Mercuctio dying and then thinking that Juliet was dead when she was not and he kills himself. Although he got to marry Juliet.

Juliet was the girl that was in loved with Romeo. She was 12 years old which her family was enemy of the Montegue Romeo. She suffered allot through the struggle between her and Romeo. Also a family member died her cousin Mercutio. She was related to Lord Capulet and Lady Capulet. She was a very drepressing teenager in her first love life. She was really brave girl to be with Romeo. Although she was pressured to do things she didn't want to do like her family wanted her to get married with Paris and if she didn't they woul've kicked her out.

Nurse:"My poor Juliet she just wanted to be with Romeo. I could've stop this tragedy. I knew what was going on."These were words from the nurse a close person to Juliet the one she told everything to. She couldn't say much she was very depressed of Juliets death in the interview.

Benvolio:"This is such a tragedy I would always try to stop them in there arguements. I am so ashamed of my family that they had to be enemies with others. My dearist Romeo why did this have to end badly,."Benvolio was depressed like others in the interview he was very regreting and ashamed of his actions.

The prince has punished the Capulets and Montegues from the death of Romeo and Juliet. He has decided to make them think about how this fued has affected their families and to get along to be friends.There will be a trail and for sure the nurse will be there and the Friar. From what they have known they should be investigated they have alot to do with it.

YOUR views on Euthanasia

After reading Mice and Men and the two new articles my stance in euthanasia is not right.I think euthanasia should be abolish people are doing it just because they loose hope. Like the father he just renunciation and decided to stop the feeding tubes because he had no hope that she would come back after 17 years. Then George did the samething he eradicated Lennie's life because he felt bad for him and didn't want him to suffer anymore more than he had in his life. This is also caused by what is going on in life like recession . People are loosing there jobs and stressing out causing them to think negative. Like the father from the second article he killed his family because he was stressing alot.It is also not the legitimate way to end someones life because the person does deserve it and they have to live life. This just caused by money like the both fathers maybe one couldn't pay any more for the hospital bills it was a stake to him.

1. Reflecting on Of Mice and Men
a. Explain George's perspective for what he did to Lennie
b. Do you think that was the best thing to do for Lennie?

a.George killed Lennie when they meet after he killed Curly's wife. He thought
that was the best thing to do for Lennie so he would go through more in life. Also so another person wouldn't kill him like Curly because then Curly will make him suffer dieing more brutal ways.He thought that he would be the right person to end his life because he made it peaceful talking about their dreams.

b.I think that it was not the best thing to do for Lennie if wanted him to die some body would've done it. Like if it was me I my conscious would bother me all of my life for killing a close friend just because I felt bad for him or her of their living situation.

2. Father in Italy Accused of Murder

a. Using a "quote" to support your response, explain the father's reasons for what he did.

"Late last year, 67-year-old Beppino Englaro, won an intense 10-year legal battle to allow his daughter's feeding tubes to be removed, saying that was her wish."

The father's reason was that his daughter wish was for feeding tubes to be removed. I think that he just wanted to grant his daughter last wish. Also he just wanted to do what a good father would do for their daughter.

b. Using a "quote" to support your response, explain if that was the best thing to do for the daughter.

"Eluana Englaro, who had been in a vegetative state for 17 years, died Feb. 9 in a clinic in the city of Udine after doctors removed her feeding tubes. She was 38."

It was the best thing to do for the daughter because she was suffering for 17 years and nobody deserves that. Also although maybe she did not show it a person can feel the suffering because she is not living life if your alive in herself. So it was the best thing to do for her to take the feeding tubes I would like that if I was her if it was for 17 years.
c. Do you agree or disagree with what the father did? Why?
I do agree with the father because if I was a father and my daughter granted that wish i would do it. I wouldn't stand seeing my child suffering for long period of time. Then what would life be for her if she can practically can't live it when your alive. She would do better in her other life were it can be peaceful. Also he deserve all this drama but people have different opinions.



3. Man Kills Family after Losing his Job

a. Imagine and list things that might have been going through the father's mind as he contemplated his "mercy" killing. (In the article, the father's suicide note gives specific evidence of why he did what he did. Elaborate on it.) Specifically, what could he have been negative or paranoid about?
What have been going through the father's mind as he contemplated his "mercy" killing was negative stuff not positive stuff he would've done. Like he couldn't live with being fired from his work and thought it was over for him. That he couldn't take care of his family so he gave up. Also he was paranoid and thought he was a failure to his family then what can the family think more of him after killing them. Instead of trying to look for another job or trying other options positive ones it had to end like this.



b. Unfortunately, with America's failing economy, many professionals are losing their jobs. While many do not resort to something as extreme as the man in the article, it does cause stress within families. What are some ways that parents can support children (to succeed in life) that do NOT require money?

They ways that parents can support children (to succeed in life) without money is always being their for them. If the child knows that the parent is always there supporting them that's all they ask for. If they see that the parents do care about them they will succeed in life because they are doing it for some one. Also helping them when they need help and listing to them. That's all we ask we don't ask for money that comes and goes what we need is a healthy parent that is there until one dies through good and bad times.
