Remember, a paragraph is at least 7 sentences.  Remember to include a topic sentence for each answer. Remember to use, explain and cite contextual evidence in each example. Example:  "Gregory, on my word, we'll not carry coals" (Act 1, sc 1, li1).

here is another example.

(Act 1, sc 1, li 18-22).

1. Discuss the sources of tension in the first ACT.  Why are these characters upset?
2. How does Romeo describe the women he loves in Act 1?  Refer to things like word choice, connotation, tone, figures of speech, and so on.
3. Describe the Lord Capulet, Lady Capulet and the Nurse.  Describe Their relationship with Juliet.
4. Refer to Mercutio’s lines in Act 1.  (Concentrate on the Queen Mab Speech) What kind of friend is he to Romeo?  Would you like to have him for a friend?  If so, why?  If not, why ?
5. Discuss the Prologue and what you already know about the play.  If you were Romeo and Juliet, would you follow love or stay loyal to your family and friends?  Explain your reasons.
