Great Overview of Romeo and Juliet

This book is great for helping students understand Romeo and Juliet better. It is also an entertaining story on its own. The book isn't easy reading, it is more moderate and challenging but because it uses modern English and is told in a story telling manner, the book is great for helping students. I will use this in my classroom.

Compelling and complex

This familiar story has been reflected on by so many people, and their outlooks tend to be differed. Some think it a romance, some a drama, some a tragedy. I consider this amazing tale all of these. Sometimes, I will read it and I will cry, sometimes I can read it and not feel a specific emotion. That's whats so interesting and wonderful about this play. It is difficult for a thirteen year old to comprehend the complex structure, but it has touched me so, that I find myself using quotes on my peers! They may find it strange, but the fueds between the two infamous families relates much to the war to scrabble to the top of "popularity"It's really intriguing to compare it to everyday teeenage life. It's quite a load to handle, but it leaves an imprint on your soul forever.
