Already in Act I we (the readers) see how big the rivalry of the Montauge's and the Capulet's. The Montauge's servants Sampson and Gregory discuss what they will do to the Capulet's servants and maids. I have already realized that there are two types of people in this story the ones who try to keep peace and the people that are violent. I have learned that Romeo is out of favor with his "girl friend" and that Benvolio is Romeo's cousin.
Shakespeare uses very advanced words that are a challenge in and of itself to understand. Shakespeare seems to write the play with a very pompous tone. He also uses very strange sentence and word choice. The plot doesn't seem very complicated at the beginning of the story except that it is difficult to initially realize what Gregory and Sampson are dong and where they are.

CITR and A Perfect Day For Bananafish
My favorite character in CTIR was Holden's little sister Phoebe and my favorite character in "A Perfect Day For Bananafish" was the girl on the phone. Some similarities are that they are both girls and have connections with men. Though Holden is Phoebe's brother and the man in the Bananafish story is the girl's boyfriend.
In both stories the reader gets a lot of information that turns out later in the story to be irrelevant. And the main characters are also males. There are also little girls in both stories, and the main characters also have lots of turmoil in their lives.
