Need Help with Rome and Juliet

[kilted exile]

2 Questions.

1) do you know what similies/metaphors are?

2) Have you read the play?

If the answer to both is yes, then you should be having no problem with this assignment

If the answer to Q1 is NO: a similie is where you compare 2 things as similar using the words like or as (e.g. he was as cool as a cucumber, or the bullets sprayed from the gun barrel like raindrops from the sky). A metaphor is where you claim one thing is not similar to another thing, it is the other thing.

If the answer to Q2 is NO: why not?, however it is not a hard assignment, simply open up your text or check the text on the main site & pick nearly any Act & you'll find all the examples of similies/metaphors you will need.

The tartan bedecked one is spot on.

i was wondering, since i don't want to be too, too rude - maybe finding 1 quote per day is taxing for some reason? is english your first language? if not, and you are taking this class to improve your understanding of it and english authors, google will translate 'simile,' 'metaphor,' and 'personification' into non-english languages; this may help.

Catty! But right.

Hm? If Romeo didn't kill Tybalt, justified or not, then things might have turned out quite different. He lost his cool; lost his temper. Actually, if he wasn't so involved in the middle of Tybalt and Mercutio, Mercutio might not have been killed. Guess he has an overzealousness. If he had just eloped and moved to Switzerland, everything might have been hunky-dorry.

Can someone please explain what this quote means or suggests?
- 'Could you not take some occasion without giving'
it is a quote from Mercutio towards Tybalt.
