The play, Romeo and Juliet, is considered to be one of the best Shakespearean plays ever written. This play is about two star crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet’s, forbidden romance, due to the feud between their families. My group and I chose to perform Act 3 Scene 5 of the scene for numerous reasons.

“Star Children.” “Yes.” “Why?” “I don’t know.” We are not children. We are women, seniors, everything. But we look like children. Teens, even. But we are hundreds of thousands of years old. That is our secret. Star Children! Such a corny name. However, we became this for a reason; we are sprites. Shapeshifters. Some of us are angels. Others are just supernaturals. Nevertheless, we are all members of the magical community. -------------------- We’re trying to track them down. The Enemy.…

various ways in which we can tell our cancer stories, but my favorite type of media is through books. Of all the books I could possibly talk about, I choose The Fault in Our Stars, which I believe is the book for those who need a differential perspective - whether you’re a cancer patient or not.

As a result of these themes and the book’s ending, it has been banned by several school districts. Books can help introduce difficult concepts and promote intellectual and emotional growth. However, they need to be appropriate to the level of maturity of the reader. Children’s literature should be able to teach a lesson that…

growth. I give honest feedback in hopes that I will receive the same. If my peers grow, it allows me to grow as well. 2.
