Similarities between the Capulets and The Effect of Gamma RaysMan-On-The-Moon Marigolds

Both of the stories have a slow start, and in the end of the books a person/animal important and cared for by the family dies. Also in both stories Matilda (Tillie) is much like the main character of Romeo and Juliet, Juliet.Their mothers also worry more about their daughters appearance over substance. Although we the readers don't know Tillie's exact age we know that she is in middle school so that makes her about the same as Juliet. 

The stories are set in different times, and the families are at very different economic standpoints. Tillie's family is at a very low economic standpoint and Juliet's family (Capulets) is at a very high economic standpoint and they are very wealthy. Juliet also seems to be much ore irresponsible than Tillie is.

When comparing the books on the surface it is hard to see many common elements in the stories. So upon a closer look there are many common elements in the stories, but this can be applied to the comparison of anything. One of the largest thing that I realized how much time periods, economic status, who you were brought up by effects how you act and your personality.

I can relate to this story because I go to school and I really like science like one of the main characters Tillie (Matilda). I can't relate to the story very much but I also have a pet like Tillie's rabbit.When Ruth comes home from school one day she speaks about Tillie having to speak in front the school, I have to make announcements often for my school. There are a few small similarities between myself and Tillie, we both see our mothers often and  we both have siblings.

Romeo's Character Development

Romeo at a glance seems not to have evolved much throughout the play, because he seems to be lovestruck the whole time. But upon closer inspection much internal evolvement has happened. In the behing of the play Romeo is depressed about his lost love with Roseline, and really doesn't want to go the the feast. In Act 1 scene 2 after Benvolio finally convinces Romeo to go to the party, he says the he will only rejoice because Roseline is so much more beautiful than all other women.

During the middle of the book Romeo meets Juliet and is head over heals for her. He is overwhelmed with joy after meeting her, and this can be seen in Act 2 scene 2 when Romeo tells Juliet that he would change his name for her. Also when Romeo and Juliet are married by Friar Lawrence. For a short period of time before they are married Romeo is very anxious, but that can be expected by someone that is about to get married. Over all in the middle of the book where Romeo meets Juliet and they are married Romeo is overwhelmed with happiness, because of his and Juliet's love.

In the last section of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is grief stricken with the death if his wife Juliet. His loss causes him to become severely depressed to the point of suicide. In the beginning and the end of the book Romeo is feeling some type of depression or loss, but on very different emotional levels and for different reasons. His feeling of loss is so great in the end of the book it causes him to commit suicide, and that action truely kills Juliet. So in a completely unintentional way Romeo kills Juliet and Juliet kills Romeo and they kill each other with their devotion.
