Prompt A
In act 1 scene i it begins by Sampson and Gregory fighting with some Montague servants having to be separate by the Prince by proclaiming a death sentence upon anyone that disturbs the civil peace again.

In Act 1 scene 3 before the feast, Lady Capulet ask Juliet of what she thinks of getting marry and she answer by saying that is something she hasn't thought about. Lady Capulet also talks about how she was almost the same age as Juliet when she gave birth and that is time for her to start thinking about marriage.
Act 1 Scene i: In our society people tend to put each other down with insults which reminds me of what happen
in act 1 scene i with Sampson and Gregory. They both decided to start insulting the two Montague servants they see while they are on the streets of Verona. People in our society will always insult people by their economic position or their body shape. In school or in social media people put each other down by the mean comments they put in a picture you upload on Instagram or by a tweet. It's unfair that people in society always try to make people feel less and worthless. In scene i Sampson and Gregory insulted the servants to make them feel that they are no one and that they have no power exactly what happens in our society this days.
Your summary was really good and helped me understand the reading more. Also, I like how you connected what happened in the book with something that is still relevant today
