  20. Yes i do truly believe that true love does exist, the reason why is cause Romeo and Juliet had a very deep close strong connection when they both saw each other they felt very happy this kind of feeling that does not come natural to just some people you have to really care and have a good heart to have true love throughout your life.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Romeo and juliet are in love . I think that they did fall in love at first sight.I believe that romeo killed him self over juliet that is true love . Romeo that she was dead and he couldnt live without her that is true love .

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. This is not one sentence, but rather it is three. So it's not a thesis statement. Also, you use the words "I think." There are several cases where you don't capitalize proper nouns like "Juliet."
      The point that he would be led to suicide is a strong point, however, it is also the only point of support you offer.

      Delete
    2. This needs to be only one sentence. Don't use the words " I think" in this sentence.

  22. Romeo and Juliet are experiencing real, true love because they meet with each other secretly, they are trying to get secretly married, and at the end of the story they kill themselves by each others side.

    1. A little bit confusing but Romeo needs to be capitalized. What does "he would not have fallen out of love" mean.

    3. But good job overall.

  24. Romeo and Juliet are experiencing real, true love because Juliet faked her own death to be with Romeo and Romeo killed himself because he thought Juliet was died and he wanted to be with her and after she woke up she killed herself so she can be with him too.

    1. You could make this in to two sentences or you could use another appostery.

  31. romeo and juilet are in true love because juilet faked a death to be with romeo and romeo accually killed himself because he thought juilet was dead and he wanted to be with her and after she killed herselve to be with him too

    ReplyDelete

    1. You need to capitalize Romeo and Juliet. Also when you say "romeo and juliet are in true love......." You need to say, "Romeo and Juliet are in love because....." You need to capitalize Juliet when you use her name. Same with Romeo. Also, I think you meant to put actually instead of accually. When you say "he wanted to be with her and after she killed herselve to be with him too." You need to say, "he wanted to be with her and after she found him she killed herself to be with him too." Good job other than that.

      Delete
    2. The names need to capitalized. You need commas where the ands are expect for the last and. Your last example needs to be worded different. Like you could say after she killed herself to be with Romeo.

      Delete
  32. Thesis- Both of the characters Romeo and Juliet think that they are in love but it may not be true love. Therefore Romeo and Juliet are not experiencing true true love because, Romeo doesn’t know what committing means.

    1. how do you know that they are not inlove and how do you know that he is not knowing what commitment means?

    Replies
    1. You need to have Romeo and Juliet capitalized. Also when you say "he meet juliet he was in love with another girl." You need to have "he met Juliet; he was in love with another girl." Or you could put "he met Juliet while he was in love with Juliet. You sentence is a run on that is why I say this. Other than your capitalization and punctuation it is a really good thesis. It is a good thesis because it does not use all or every. I does not want the reader to be like "Who care!!" So good job Rhonda, just try and work on your capitalization. :)

  39. Romeo and Juliet are experiencing actual true love because they seem to not stop thinking of one another and are strongly attached, they have such diverse communication when speaking to each other in what seems to be a true manor, and they find the need to separate everybody else just to be together.

  43. Romeo and Juliet think they are in love, but they really aren’t. Evidence shows that Romeo was love sick and then moved straight to Juliet, they kissed as soon as the met because of attraction, and they already say, "I love you," when they don't even know each other that well. While they have feelings that lead to love, they are not in love right now.

    4. Capitolize the beginnign of a sentence, this is not really an adequate sentence. Work on evidence and use Ms. Bates format that's on the boardd and try to find more reasponing try and go back to the story and gather information. Try to state who the people are as well an unknown reader wouldn't know who "they" were and could get confused. I would try again.

  54. Romeo and Juliet are in love because they were in love at first sight. Romeo was in love before Juliet which makes you think is he just playing her? I say that its true love because when Romeo heard Juliet was dead he came there to see her killed his self when Juliet woke she killed her self as well.

  55. Romeo and Juliet are experiencing true love between them they had a very deep close strong love connection between each other, the reason why is cause they took very high risks to be together and also fought for their love and conquered the battles of evil who was against them ,Romeo and Juliet also died for each other cause they killed their selves for one another to be together in a place they may call heaven in their eyes cause they saw something very deep and special inside each other.
