Sample of Scene summary:
Prologue The play starts out with the Chorus revealing everything that will happen in the play. There are two families in Verona that hated each other, but are brought together by the death of their children. Tragically, their deaths were the only things capable of bringing them together. The play that follows explains the situation in more detail.
Act I Scene 1 The start of the play introduces two characters from the house of Capulet, Sampson and Gregory. In conversation Sampson expresses how eager he is to show bravery when confronted by his foes; Gregory humorously makes Sampsons rage look silly by calling out his true nature when confronted with a fight. Their dialogue is filled with nothing more than male camaraderie jesting until they come across two servants of the Montague house and try to start a fight without looking like they are trying to start a fight, since they could get arrested if they started one. The scuffle grabs the attention of the elders of both houses, Lord Montague and Lord Capulet. Both are willing to join the youngsters fight in defense of their house. The Prince of Verona sees the feuding men and is very upset excusing everyone and threatening their lives if there is another fight between the two. After the House of Capulet disperse the Montague members stay behind and start to converse about the state of Romeo. He seems to be carrying depression and his parents and cousin Benvolio do not know why. Benvolio makes a promise to Romeos parents that he will find out why Romeo is behaving the way he is. Upon the departure of Lord and Lady Montague, Romeo saunters in the scene and reveals to his cousin that he is upset because he loves a girl who does not love him. Patiently, Benvolio get Romeo to tell him who this lady is and why she refuses to love Romeo. Romeo is smitten with a young lady that will soon become a nun. The ever-promising Benvolio vows to find a girl that will make Romeo forget this crush he has on the future nun.

Dear Journal, I am suddenly worried about the pace that my daughter Juliet is taking when considering her marriage to Count Paris. At first I believed she were too young, but now I agree with her mother time is of the essence. She is giving special attention to someone else and I know how silly the minds of young girls can be concerning love. I do not want her to
__________________________________________ Advice Column Dear Lady Luck, I am madly in love with a boy from the house that has been a thorn in my families crest for years. I would much be okay with treating the family in such a deserving way despite how silly this
ongoing war has been, but I found out today that this boy loves me too!... With angst, Too young for Love
Dear Too Young for Love,
Your dilemma is a serious one. Family trust is one of the first types of trust and loyalty that we learn. How you decided to gp about this situation could set the bar for your reaction to many more challenges to come. You seem to be very young but eager nonetheless ___________________________________ Greeting Card On the back of the greeting card translate your quote or give information about your picture i.e. When speaking to Juliet in Act I Scene 3, Lady Capulet is making an attempt at convincing Juliet to strongly consider Count Paris for an option to marry. The quote is saying that fish live in the sea so it would be unnatural to see one living outside of the sea. The same applies to Paris and Juliet. It's wrong for a beauty like Juliet to hide from a handsome man like Paris.
