Open your mouth

It has become uncool

In society to challenge authority

I believe I must implore you

Declare your opinions

Let your wisdom be heard

Speak with passion

Display your conviction

Uncertainty is a tragedy

But nothing to stop for

Exhort society

Speak with determination

Speak with conviction

Speak with authority

Romeo and Juliet's battle

Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives.
C. S. Lewis

Love is a powerful emotion which can drive you to do almost anything, including killing yourself. Romeo and Juliet is a heartbreaking story about two lovers, Romeo and Juliet. They come from two families that detest each other so much that they would kill the other on the spot. Romeo meets Juliet at a dance hosted by her family. It is love at first sight for both of them. They are then devastated to find they are both in love with their enemies. Romeo is then confronted by Juliet's cousin in a duel. Romeo wins the battle but gets sent to prison for the murder of Juliet's cousin. During this time Juliet creates a plan to be together with her lover. She will take a potion that will give the impression that she is dead and when she is announced to be dead she will go find Romeo and run away with him. Just in case Romeo doesn't kill himself after hearing the death of Juliet, Juliet sends one of her servants to tell Romeo the plan. The servant is unable to deliver the message in time and therfore Romeo is forced to believe that his reason to live is dead. He visits Juliets grave and kills himself by taking poison. Juliet is soon awakened to find her lover dead. She can't live without Romeo therfore stabs herself. The death of Romeo and Juliet brought peace to the two families fueding. The main idea of this love story is that love isn't always easy to attain but you must be willing to fight for it.


Love is something that can bring misery while searching for it but can bring happiness when found. Romeo and Juliet both experienced obstacles along the way in the fight for love. For example Romeo was challenged by Juliet's cousin to duel. He knew he would either die or be sent to jail for murder, yet he fought. Juliet knew she would have to give up her family and the comfort of her home to run away with Juliet, yet she came up with the plan to run away. I think they fought because they believed their lives would be nothing without the other one. They were both strong fighters that would have given anything to be together. Including their lives.


At the end of the story both Romeo and Juliet die. I think the death was not caused by the late messenger but the parents of Romeo and Juliet. If they hadn't hated each other to the point that their children weren't allowed to see each other, then Romeo and Juliet would not have had to run away to be with the one that their heart desires.I think marriage should be for love and nothing less. For example to this day there are still arranged marriages in India. I think every human has a right to freedom. They shouldn't be trapped by their parents. Romeo and Juliet are inspiring role models that tell us love is worth fighting for.


Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy with a moral. They both gave up everything for love because they believed it was worth it. Their fight was ended by their deaths but that doesn't mean they failed. They gave their lives up for each other without a blink of an eye because they couldn't have lived without each other. I think everyone should follow their example by believing in love and fighting for it. Without love there is only misery. Fight for love. Its worth it.
