Summary and feelings about Romeo & Juliet

I recently just finished The Fault in Our Stars by John Green and it was one of the best books I have ever read. The novel is about a girl named Hazel, dealing with terminal cancer and how she meets Augustus. He is a recent survivor of cancer as well. The story follows their relationship and how they deal with being sick but making the best of what they have while they’re still alive. It’s such an inspiring book and there’s no part of the book where I was bored; I read the whole thing in a day it was that good. Augustus and Hazel’s relationship isn’t too sappy or girly and their discussions were really deep and got me thinking, which I really loved about the book. It completely changes your view on life and I’ve never thought a book could do that but this one did for sure. I completely recommend it to anybody.

Along with my CPR book were reading Romeo and Juliet. I’ve read a Mid Summer’s Night Dream last year and I did not understand any part of it. However, I’m doing a good job understanding and analyzing this play so I’m really enjoying the story. My favorite part about reading Shakespeare is the humor he puts in. You have to think about it for a while, but once you get it, it’s pretty clever. He’s an artist in his writing so it’s hard to understand long speeches that some of the character’s give. I have to reread and decode what they say, which can be tedious work. However, it’s worth it because the story is really intriguing and tragic.
