Is This Love?

Love [luhv]. noun. - a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.

Infatuation [in-fach-oo-ey-shuh n]. noun. - to be inspired with or in possession of a foolish or unreasoning passion, as of love.

So.... Is this a story of love or infatuation? True love or foolishness?

Today's Goal: Analyze the interaction between Romeo and Juliet after the party scene in order to identify the ways in which Romeo and Juliet profess their love to one another:

The Plan:

1. Book Love Reading
2. Grow Notes 
3. Read Act II, Prologue and Scene i
4. Read and annotate Act II, Scene ii, looking for the figurative language that Romeo and Juliet use. (You will find the document you need shared with you in Google Drive)

HOMEWORK:

Your homework is to read through Act 2 Scene 2 of Romeo and Juliet and identify examples of:

• simile
• metaphor
• hyperbole
• personification

You need at least 5 annotations from lines 27-200. You must:

1. correctly identify the figurative language
2. explain what it means
3. explain why that character might be using this device in this moment. (What's the goal/purpose of this device?)

If you don't have a computer: use your book, write the lines on paper, cite them correctly, and explain the figurative language and what it means there. This is the other option for obtaining these points.
