I need help with Shakespeare. Does anybody have an English degree. I have to write a huge essay on Romeo and Juliet. All I ask that each of you guys give me a sentence. Even though I have to write a huge essay, you guys can give me a start.

The essay is on how their words, actions, and sacrifices prove throughout the story that they love each other.

Can anyone give me a sentence that has a lot of commentary and adjectives that talks about how their sacrifices and actions prove their love and if possible provide THE action or sacrifice you are talking about in the sentence.

Give me the quote.

Sounds like you're looking for a thesis statement. If not, anything that has "a lot of commentary and adjectives that talks about how their sacrifices and actions..." is a run-on sentence that will make your teacher scream. Here's a simple thesis statement:

In William Shakespeare's play of the same name, Romeo and Juliet prove through their words, actions and sacrifices that they love each other.

Here's the thesis expanded into an introductory paragraph:

Many people question whether the feelings between two people as young as "Juliet and her Romeo" (fourteen and sixteen years old respectively) can be genuine, abiding love. Playwright William Shakespeare is careful to assure us that this is so. All throughout ROMEO AND JULIET, Shakespeare reinforces the authenticity of his young protagonists' love through their words, actions and sacrifices.


In the next paragraph, if this is how your teacher prefers to see these things, you can give a sort of "list" of what scenes you'll be using in your paper to prove your thesis. You might be better off just getting down to it. The possibilities are too numerous for me to start quoting things here (and after all, that just means that I would be writing your paper for you--not my thing!). It's up to you to find specific WORDS, specific ACTIONS (or implied actions as given through dialogue) and, perhaps most easily, their SACRIFICES (don't fall into the trap that their deaths are the only sacrifices in here--they each sacrifice love for family, their parents' trust, the good faith of their friends, and Juliet sacrifices the only confidante she has trusted until now, her Nurse). So, you need to write at least three more paragraphs. I would write at least six more, for such a "huge" essay, 2 dealing with WORDS, 2 dealing with ACTIONS, 2 dealing with SACRIFICES. Oh, and you always need a concluding paragraph.

Get crackin'!

The quote would be from no other than Shakespeare himself
"To be or not to be, that is the question whether tis nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune..." try using something like that from Hamlet!!
