• You need to include the thing you don’t want to do in the beginning and end, and have ten or more alternatives listed in the middle of the poem.
• The point of the poem is to create outrageous alternatives to show exaggeration, so do not create alternatives that you actually would want to do. A student example is provided.

 

 Student Poem:
Oh have me share my bed, rather than eat mayonnaise,
With one million slimy grand-daddy long legs,
Or take away my phone; or leave me alone
In the dark; forbid me to eat chocolate;
Or make me stay a rainy day at Disneyland;
To have no social life in school,
Isolated from all my friends;
Or bid me listen to classical music, or raid my closet
And dress me like a preppy…
These that to hear them would make me tremble…
I would do without fear or doubt
To never have to eat, or look, or
Smell mayonnaise again

 

JULIET
O, bid me leap, rather than marry Paris,
80 From off the battlements of yonder tower;
Or walk in thievish ways; or bid me lurk
Where serpents are; chain me with roaring bears;
Or shut me nightly in a charnel house,
O'ercovered quite with dead men's rattling bones,
85 With reeky shanks and yellow chapless skulls;
Or bid me go into a new-made grave
And hide me with a dead man in his shroud—
Things that, to hear them told, have made me tremble—
And I will do it without fear or doubt,
90 To live an unstained wife to my sweet love.

 

Act 3, scene 2: Night Imagery

Directions: read Juliet’s speech in Act 3 scene 2 lines 1-33.
1. Write down each time the word “night” is used (including the entire image)
2. What feelings/images are associated with each use of “night”—you can describe the images or draw them.
3. How does the imagery of night add to this scene?
4. How is the image of night in this play different from how night is traditionally symbolized in literature?
5. Draw a picture of one of the images from the passage.

Yin-Yang Project:

 

Represent Romeo’s state oxymoronic state in Act I, scene I by creating your own yin-yang symbol.

 

Directions:
1. Chose one oxymoron from the following lines:
Here’s much to do with hate, but more with love.
Why, then, O brawling love! O loving hate!
O any thing of nothing first create!
O heavy lightness! Serious vanity!
Mis-shapen chaos of well-seeming forms!
Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, Sick health!
Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is!
This love feel I, that feels no love in this.

 

2. Find pictures on line, in newspapers, and magazines to represent each aspect of your chosen oxymoron. You can draw a yin-yang symbol and draw pictures that will fill the symbol. (if so, disregard part 3).

 

3. Create a Yin-Yang on paper and glue the pictures on this respected side.

 

TIPS
Fill each side with pictures but still keep shape of the Yin-Yang Symbol
Do not forget about the drops of white & black in each side of circle
Add color for more points
