Homework: Select two characters from the play and compare and/or contrast their views of love with Romeo’s

Homework: Select two characters from the play and compare and/or contrast their views of love with Romeo’s.

• 
  The paragraph should begin with a clear topic sentence which makes a true statement about how Romeo’s ideal of love compares with these other characters. A poor topic sentence will merely identify the topic and name whether these ideals are the same or different. An excellent topic sentence will characterize the difference or similarity.
  

• 
  The essay should be well-developed: Prove the validity of the topic sentence by using details and embedding chunks of quotes from Acts 1 and 2.
  

• 
  The essay will be unified and coherent. Select your characters carefully to build one single main point about Romeo and love. Move from one idea to next intentionally – create a flow.
  

• 
  Proofread the essay for comma usage.
  

• 
  Incorporate a compound sentence which balances two points equally to emphasize similarity or differences.
  

• 
  Use a sentence which subordinates some information to the main point in a complex sentence.
  

• 
  Use an appositive.
  

• 
  Use NO linking verbs.
  

• 
  Use scholarly language and diction. Select just the right word to characterize attitudes.
