1. Journal #2 Think back to an instance where you had a senseless conflict with another person. What act made you both realize the foolishness of the situation? If you cannot remember a specific instance, invent a scenario. Describe the event in detail. *Length requirement: 2 paragraphs.

2. Prologue:  Two households, both alike in dignity  In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,  From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,  Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.  From forth the fatal loins of these two foes  A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life,  Whose misadventured piteous overthrows  Doth with their death bury their parents' strife.

3.  The fearful passage of their death-marked love  And the continuance of their parents' rage,  Which, but their children’s end, naught could remove,  Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage—  The which, if you with patient ears attend,  What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
