In the play Shakespeare they have many significant scenes. But perhaps the most important is Act three scene one. It is the turning point of the whole play. This really puts the relationship of Romeo and Juliet down a terrible path that ends in the death of both of them. The scene starts with Benvolio tells Mercutio they should get off the streets.

I put annotations on my script so I knew when to joke, get angry, or any other emotion. I thought that really added to my character. I also thought I did well at showing who I was talking to. Rather than looking at my script and looking down, I would try to look up and look at who I was talking to. I would make this even clearer by doing gestures. Such as, when I said, “And a blow.” to Tybalt, I held up my fist to his face. Overall, I thought I did well but felt that I could improve in multiple
