Romeo and Juliet

Shakespeare doesn't exactly tell us what happens at the end but he implements it even in the title. "The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet". I think Shakespeare tries to tell us what happens at the end so we are attached to the book until the very end tring to figure out HOW exactly it all happens. Shakespeare is an amazing writer that wrote many plays. He has an ability to keep the reader interested until the very ending. His writing is also unique because in almost everything he writes there is a double meaning that we try to find and understand. This romantic tragedy proves how well Shakespeare can write and express different things at a time.

Stealing.. Right?wrong?only choicee?..

In Rudy's and Liesel's case we can't really judge if what they're doing is right or wrong. Liesel's foster parents can't afford to buy food and Liesel hasnt recieved enough education to know better than to steal. So the truth is Liesel and Rudy dont have much of a choice.. Either they starve or they steal.

Book Thief Prediction

My prediction for what will happen to Liesel in the book is that she is going to end up dying. I think this because the Holocaust is going on and she lives in a foster home and usually that affects the child. Also she has lost her brother and lives away from her mother. Another reason is that in the prologue death talks about how he sees her 3 times and all around dead people, so i think that the 3 time he sees her is because she is dead.

Mancinis At Risk

For some reason my opinion is different this time... ough the Mancinis are in
I think that even though the Mancinis are in grave danger, they should by all means help their family. And with Oscars dad as an ambassador it will be easier for them to hide in their house. YEs i think they are taking the right steps because well at least me, I would do EVERYTHING possible to protect my family form danger. My opinion is different this time I guess because now we're involving family.
