3. Bell Ringer “These violent delights have violent ends  And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,  Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey   Is loathsome in his own deliciousness,  And in the taste confounds the appetite.  Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;  Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.” • On your own, interpret this quotation. • Can you find all of the figurative language/figures of speech? (hint: there are 3 big ones) • What about connotative words?

4. Is the no fear version as good? These sudden joys have sudden endings. They burn up in victory like fire and gunpowder. When they meet, as in a kiss, they explode. Too much honey is delicious, but it makes you sick to your stomach. Therefore, love each other in moderation. That is the key to long-lasting love. Too fast is as bad as too slow.

5. Brain Snack: If you're a Twilightfan, you're probably thinking that Friar Laurence's "These violent delights" line sounds familiar. That's because Stephenie Meyer uses the quote as an epigraph for the novel New Moon. These violent delights have violent endsAnd in their triumph die, like fire and powderWhich, as they kiss, consume.

6. I asked you to think about this quote yesterday What’s up with the second half of this speech?? What main topic of the play is he vaguely referring to here? The earth, that’s nature’s mother, is her tomb. What is her burying, grave that is her womb. And from her womb children of divers kind We sucking on her natural bosom find, Many for many virtues excellent, None but for some and yet all different. Oh, mickle is the powerful grace that lies In herbs, plants, stones, and their true qualities. For naught so vile that on the earth doth live But to the earth some special good doth give. Nor aught so good but, strained from that fair use Revolts from true birth, stumbling on abuse. Virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied, And vice sometime by action dignified.

9. Crafting an Argument with Film Activity • First, complete the left column of the organizer based on the balcony scene of the play from reading it alone. • This is what you imagine the scene should look like.

The mood as well. • Characters—what they will look like and act like—personality. How they are/should be acted. • Dialogue—how much will be directly from the play? How and will it stray from the play? • Other—this is your chance to point out something you see. What parts stood out to you and what do you expect to see/what do you see

10. While watching the 2 versions • Complete the columns for each movie clip. • Be as detailed as possible. • This is the evidence that you will pull from for supporting your argument afterwards. • Insufficient notes and attention will lead to insufficient evidence.

15. Why does Juliet tell him not to swear by the moon? ROMEO Lady, by yonder blessèd moon I vow, That tips with silver all these fruit-tree tops— JULIET O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon,That monthly changes in her circled orb,Lest that thy love prove likewise variable Where else have we seen nature talked about in this way?

16. What literary devices are used here? It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden, Too like the lightning, which doth cease to be Ere one can say “It lightens.” Sweet, good night. This bud of love, by summer’s ripening breath, May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet. Who says this and what is he/she talking about?

17. What is being said about the nature of virtues and vices here? For naught so vile that on the earth doth liveBut to the earth some special good doth give;Nor aught so good but, strain'd from that fair use,Revolts from true birth, stumbling on the abuse:Virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied;And vice sometimes by action dignified

18. What literary device is used here? Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrowThat I shall say good night till it be morrow.
