providing you can write legibly, and use a thesaurus you're onto a winner.

Fanciful metaphor, the livery of Romeo the dreamer, versus cold, hard truth and logic of Juliet's 'suicide'. Complete opposites of approach showing the reality of the situation.

Gotta love English. *Sigh*

Big fan of the Bard.

So, how'd the coursework go?

Thank god I'm not at school any more I'm pretty good at writing clever sounding BS for that sort of thing so I always got good marks but by god I hated it! I think its the quickest way possible to get kids to hate english lessons.

On a lighter note, that bird who's got that song out at the minute about romeo and juliet is rather tasty

If you ever find that a website you want to visit's blocked by the school, use jimmyhat.net . I use it all the time, you can also use it to view *ahem* naughty websites without getting ballocked by some oversensitive teacher great name too!!

Read it instead of playing on the net.

What JuJu said. Just compare the two, it really is as simple as that. I don't know the play off by heart, so don't know what the scenes are and it's been years since I read it but there should be some distinct differences.

If worst comes to worst and you really haven't a clue at all, then try another english teacher. Ask for an example of a comparison to make.

Is one a soliloquy, angry scene, romance scene etc etc etc
