.... after they have begun school. Every day millions of people turn to their televisions as a form of escape from the pressures and stress of day to day life. The television, to them, serves the purpose of entertaining them for a half hour or an hour at a time.

I believe Romeo is both right and wrong: not returned love is pain, but Romeo doe s not truly love, as he is merely infatuated by a woman. The next definition of love comes from Juliet, who, before meeting Romeo, did no t even have a definition of love .....

.... Wars: The Phantom Menace, and the original film, A New Hope, there are many similarities between this summer’s hit movie and Lucas’ first directed film of the series.

Once the party is over, Romeo hears Juliet on her balcony talking of how she loves Romeo and together they speak of their impending marriage. What? It seems that they are obsessed, not in love.

Romeo demonstrates his immaturity again when he slays the Capulet, Tybalt. Being an idealist, he does not think about the consequences of his actions. He knows that Tybalt is Juliet's cousin, and that .....
