Connections

While reading this book at home I can understand what is going happening on the surface. But when we discuss what we read at home in class it make me look at it in a new way. I think that it is hard to relate to the play in many ways. One thing that I can relate to in the play is with Juliet.  Even though I did have a mom that loved me and I lived with her. I was raised by another woman. My mom worked a lot when I was younger and I would spend a lot of time with my moms best friend. Just like Juliet I will always love my real mother and would do anything for her, but someone else was always there that wasn't my mother.

Reading this play has been difficult. It hasn't been the hardest play or novel that we have read. At times Romeo + Juliet can be every hard to understand what is going on, but if I go back and re-read the part that I am confused I usually can figure out what is going on. In class when we read and discuss the play I understand it in a different way. In class it is easier to find the puns, and the metaphors. I think that reading the play in class is really smart and isn't a waste of time. Reading it aloud has really helped me understand the play.
