Write a multi-paragraph response explaining how Romeo and Juliet is a coming-of-age drama. Explain what it has in common with other coming-of-age texts that you have studied this year (you might consider “The Stolen Party,” “What Happened During the Ice Storm,” “The Fight,” “Tamera’s Opus” or others). Include issues that Romeo and Juliet face that teenagers today still have to deal with. Be sure to:
Explain your ideas with reflective commentary.
Use the best details & evidence from the text to clarify your explanation.
Correctly state the names and authors of any texts you reference.
Thoughtfully paragraph - each paragraph should have a specific focus and make a specific point!
