Prompt A:
In this scene, a fight breaks out between the Capulets and the Montagues. Sampson really initiates it when he gives the Montagues their form of a middle finger: biting his thumb. Benvolio isn't able to calm them down, and this causes chaos. Romeo, on the other hand, is explaining to Benvolio how he loves a girl but she doesn't love him back. Everything is all happening at once, and it is a lot to take in. This reminds me of Draymond Green in the NBA. Draymond initiates fighting most of the time, and from there it escalates quickly. He is not a very well liked player by others in the league, as he now has the reputation of being annoying and starting brawls on the court. None of the conflict has to start in the first place, but like both scenarios, one action can start a whole chains of actions, eventually making war and fighting. The Capulets and Montagues need to find peace between each other, or else nothing will ever be worked out. In addition, Romeo needs to move on and find someone else, like how Draymond has to move on and not let things bother or distract him from playing.
You explained this scene really detailed and I also agree with your example of Draymond Green.
ReplyDeleteI like it how you went into a lot of detail and how you explained the scene in enough depth to where the readers can understand what is going on.
ReplyDeleteI like the connection that you made with basketball
ReplyDeleteI think the way you connected the way that the Capulets and the Montague's fighting to a very relevant, modern day example was very insightful. Another similarity could be how no one on the other teams like Draymond except for his own teammates because his emotion is valuable.
ReplyDeleteI find this comparison interesting. Do you think it is a good or bad strategy to be mean and pugnacious, but also strong and determined in sports?
