* If you were faced with ending a relationship because your
family and your girlfriend/ boyfriends family did not get along, would you end
it or stay together? Explain why or why not and be sure to use examples when
explaining and also relate it to Romeo and Juliet.
If I were faced with a ending a relationship because my family did not get along I would end it, I would do this because what's the sense in going out of my way to see someone your parents wouldn't want you to see. But really it's not the kid’s problem it’s the parents and it damages the kid’s future for all the hopeless memories. But in reality why take the risk of getting in trouble to see one of your cousins that you may not even like. You can have a huge different perspective if they are apart of your life but this is how I somewhat feel. There is no reason to lie to your parents about something so pointless and to get in trouble over it.
ReplyDeleteI don’t think Romeo and Juliet should stop being together because they truly love each other and have heart for each other and would do anything to be together. They love each other and they just met “Love at First sight” its crazy to think but it seems true. I find that this is a great question to ask kids who have many family problems and who don’t talk to certain people in their family.
I completely agree with you. I say this because I understand and wish I mention in my answer about "love at first sight." I also agreed with you when you talk about not really know because you are not in that persons perspective. and most of all I agree with having a family feud damaging a kids life. great quote though.
DeleteIn many relation ships one another from each family could not like each other. If I were faced with ending a relationship because my family and my girlfriend’s family did not get along at all I wouldn’t know what to do. I say this because both my family and my girlfriend would make me happy however, if both my girl friend’s and my family was at war I would have to see what the best option is to do in the situation. Say if the feud was minor I would stay with my girlfriend no matter what others say. However, if both my and heir’s family has issues with each other was as extreme as that of Romeo’s and Juliet’s family feud I would have to make a choice that wouldn’t coast losing the other. I say this because it would be hard losing that “part” of my life. But I couldn’t be 100% sure because I never life through a family feud. That is my opinion on my idea of what I would do if I was in love with a girl who’s family is at war with mine.
ReplyDeleteMany examples from Romeo and Juliet can relate to this question. I say this because what the question is asking is exactly what took place in the story. For example, t would be hard losing that “part” of my life, this can be related to Romeo and Juliet because in the play’s finally Romeo kills him self because he would rather kill him self then life with out her which is exactly what I would fell letting my family or my girl friend go. Another example is when Romeo is hart broken in the begging of Act.1 and he says to his friend that his life was taken from him because the girl he love dose not share the same emotions / feelings for him. Those are just a couple examples from Romeo and Juliet that can relate to the question.
i totally agree with you michael. you need to look ast the pros and cons. like what you said you have to choose the best option. i really like how you said that. good job.
DeleteIf I had to end my relationship with my boyfriend because our families didn't get along... i would be pretty pissed and confused. I wouldn't know what to do but I'd probably would stick with that person especially if I'm in love with him. I would just have to make our parents reason with each other and try to hold it together and convince them with a bunch of family meetings. I would do all I can and just try to make them see the brighter side of things. Instead of always going head to head. This blog relates to romeo Juliet a lot because their families are like different names . . (Capulets, Montague) so they don't get along but romeo and Juliet like each other and can't be together so they basically have to hide it from some certain people . But I don't see why they wouldn't like eachotheer . Its pretty stupid... they should try and work things out for their children's happiness . It would only make romeo and Juliet happy and it would be selfish of they didn't think about their feelings or love lives . But no I wouldn't end my relationship because of others peoples problems . ' blood isnt really thicker than water . Its just a myth . If our two families couldn't resolve the situation between the two , them we would just move far far away from it all . And only come back to visit .
ReplyDeleteI agree with you because if you do really love someone you would want to stay with them until the bitter end no matter what. If I was in Juliet's place in this whole thing I would definitely stay with the one I love. I wouldn't care if my family and his family are fighting because its our lives not theirs. I would always try and fight through this conflict to be with the one I love because it is pretty stupid that I can't have a happy life just because my family. I think the whole family feuds are stupid unless it was for a good reason but if not then why are we in a feud anyways.
DeleteI agree with you, Kanisha. There's no point to the feud between the Montagues and Capulets in Romeo and Juliet, and in the play they're really just fighting because they've always been fighting, and doing something just because it's what you've always done doesn't make any sense.
DeleteThis question is kinda an opinion because you have to choose between family and my boyfriend. I think I would pick depending on the situation. In my perspective if your boy/girlfriend is so sweet and nice then you would fight for them but if they are like abusive and just plain out mean then you would definitely not be with them and you would probably choose your family instead of them. This question really depends on the situation at hand or at that moment when you need to decide either of the two.
ReplyDeleteIn Romeo and Juliet they were just having a crush on each other they didn't even know each other's names. Romeo had just gotten over Rosaline now he likes Juliet that's just madness. The play makes no sense if they would know each other for a bit longer then it would have been better but I guess since Shakespeare wanted star crossed lover he made them, but really even in the hunger games series they knew each other before they started loving each other. If Shakespeare wants them to not know each other then that cool but at least don't make them kiss because that is like your sealing vows to a relationship and after the kiss I don't think Juliet will be able to live with a break up and even though I know they both die, but if they didn't she would probably not have lived without her dear Romeo. This question is exactly what Shakespeare didn't think about while making this because he would have made them know a bit more than they did about each other but this question also happens to be different in all movie then their books. I know my life isn't a movie nor a book but let's just see where I go in life because this question may just save my life one day I know if Juliet had this knowledge she might just have children and she might also live to see her true love if it wasn't Romeo.
If I were faced with having to choose between ending a relationship with someone because my family and their family did not get along and staying in said relationship, I would stay in the relationship. I would choose the latter option because if my family and another family did not like each other, that is their problem, not mine. I see no logical reason to end a relationship just because some people might be irrationally upset about it. Also, it would not be wise to get all stressed out about a problem that has not much to do with me and is rather insignificant compared to the real problems in the world anyway- like starvation, war, sickness, etc...
ReplyDeleteThis relates to Romeo and Juliet because the Capulets and Montagues do not get along well, and Romeo and Juliet's relationship would surely be frowned upon by their families.
I agree with you. No family should get mad because someone loves each other. why should the family argue over something so unreasonable.
DeleteIf I face a ending relationship between both my girlfriend’s family and my family i would not end our relationship together. Just because the family doesn’t get together does not mean that we can’t be together. If both of our family didn’t want us to be together i would do anything to try to see each other and to be together if i was in this situation. Romeo and Juliet love for each from what i read is like they can’t spend more than 30 mins away from each other. They love being together. they enjoy each others space. If i truly loved my girlfriend i would do anything to try to see my girlfriend. When Romeo sneaked to juliets home to see her was because he had to see her again. he loves her so much that he just wants to be next her all the time. If they can manage to keep their relationship so far without having their family’s knows about it means something. If my family had a disagreement with my girlfriends family why should it concern our relationship together. Sometimes family’s have to get over the fact that their son or daughter loves someone from a family that they hate. Its their life not the parents, and if they mess up thats their lesson to learn from it. Parents can’t always control their kids life, but they can’t always hold your hand when you mess up on something that you thought was right. if the parent is always controlling your life how can us as the kid learn from it. so if i love loved someone from a family that hated my family, but there kid loved me why separate us. How is our love destroying both familys. someones love should not affect a family theres no reason to it. And if there was a reason it will probably be “oh you can’t date that person because we don’t like their family”. If that was the case then get over yourself. no one’s love should be a problem to anyone if i loved that person then i love that person. If your family doesn’t like me for it well then so be it, because you don’t have a legitimate excuse to not like me.
ReplyDeleteif my family had to end my relationship just because our families didn't like each other I wouldn't brake up with my girlfriend. I would stay with her. I wouldn't care what my family would say or her family. if we love each other I think that we should be together. just because our families cant be together doesn't mean that me and her cant be together. if her family hated me I wouldn't care because the only person that I would care about in her family would be her. also if my family hated her I would tell my family they don't know what they are talking about. I would also sneak out every night just to see her. I would care for her. if our families hated each other I would get enough money just for me and her so we can runaway together and buy a house. so that way nobody can bother our relationship and we don't need to hide our love. if our family didn't hate each other then I wouldn't want to runaway with here. also we wouldn't need to hide our love. if our families got along then we can just be ourselves and love each other. I would not want see our families fight. I would want us all to be united and love each other. if they don't like our relationship that we have then forget them
ReplyDeleteIf I were faced with a relationship ending because my family and my girlfriend didn't get along, I would try to stay together. Romeo and Juliet faced the same problem, they couldn't be together because and Romeo got banished. I would try to stay together because I won't let my parents end a relationship. Romeo and Juliet tried everything to stay together, she even faked her death, but Romeo took it seriously and killed himself and then she killed herself too. That's is what I would do if my parents tried ending me and my girlfriends relationship.
