I think that the most powerful person in this play so far is the Prince Escales because he is the prince of Verona. He has power of Verona, he basically can decide things around in Verona. For instance, like how he had banish Romeo because of the murder of Tybalt.
2. There were many metaphors that Shakespeare had used for us to have a better understanding of Romeo's feelings toward Juliet is by comparing her to the sun, angel, star, and things that are just  mostly bright. This means that Romeo is saying that Juliet is warm, bright, and beautiful.]]> 2016-12-15 18:02:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/143913687 Tim https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/143913757 1. the most powerful person is Prince Escales because he is the prince of Verna means that he can do anything he wants since it is his city.
2. First, he uses the word sun, in lots of cultures, sun symbolizes warm, brightness, and justice, and moon star symbolize beautifulness and romantic, that would definitely make have a better think of Juliet when Romeo uses the word like this.]]> 2016-12-15 18:02:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/143913757 Ashley https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/143913929 1. i think the most powerful person in the play is the prince escales because ]]> 2016-12-15 18:03:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/143913929 Drew https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/143914043
1: I think the most powerful person is Prince Escales. I say this because for one. He’s the prince and back then Prince’s had lots of power. He has the power to banish people or even sentence them to death if they have done something wrong. 

2: some metaphors Shakespeare uses for Juliet are Angel and Sun. Shakespeare uses the words because they both are like holy things. Above man.  Angels are almost always seen as holy beings and the same as the sun. Both are related to happiness and just overall just goodness

I think the most powerful person is prince Escales because he decides what is going to happened and has the power over Verona. the citizens have to obey him and do what ever he wants them to do.
2)
Shakespeare uses the metaphor
''the sun''. The sun is bright and sunny, it makes people. He also uses the metaphor ''angel''. He describes Juliet as a beautiful innocent angel. Romeo loves her and uses many metaphors to describe his love.]]> 2016-12-15 18:04:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/143914171 Maryem https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/143914540 1. In my opinion, the most powerful person in the play is Prince Escales. I think this because he has power over all of Verona, he gets to choose the fate of the citizens. He was also the one to sentence Romeo to banishment from Verona.

2. A few metaphors Shakespeare uses is the sun, stars, and things that are bright. I think that Romeo uses these words to describe his mutual relationship with Juliet and it helps us to understand his feelings better because it is obvious that it would be a compliment for someone if you compare them to something as bright as the sun or stars. ]]> 2016-12-15 18:05:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/143914540 don https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/143915324 1. so far i think prince escales is the most powerful because he can choose what happens in Verona. no body is allowed to disobey or he can choose to kill them or exile them.
2. he compares her to good things instead of bad things. in the script he compares her to jewels instead of comparing her to dirt. he calls her a saint instead of saying she is a demon. he also calls her the sun to say she is bright. he's using different objects that are good to complement her.

I think the most powerful person in the story is Prince Escales because he is like the president  of Verona and has lots of power. To prove this he told the two families to stop fighting and the listened almost immediately.]]> 2016-12-15 18:09:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/143915608 Ava https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/143915657 1. I think prince Escales is the most powerful person in the play. I feel this way because he has the power to execute Romeo or he can change his mind and no one can over power him. 
2. a) It it the east, and Juliet is the sun. (Shakespeare, 2.2.3)
 b) O speak again, bright angel (Shakespeare 2.2.26)
This lets us understand that Romeo thinks of Juliet as something bright, high, and good. ]]> 2016-12-15 18:09:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/143915657 Alizeh https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/143916683 1.I think that Prince Escales is the most powerful person in the play. I think this because he decides to choose Romeo’s fate. Also, he is the king, the judge, the president and everything of Verona. Everyone obeys his orders. 

2.Romeo calls Juliet an angel which means she is innocent and heavenly. She is beautiful and precious like an angel.
Secondly, he calls Juliet the sun. He means that she is really beautiful and has brightened up Romeo’s life just like the sun brightens the earth.

I think the most powerful person in this play is the prince Escales because he is the prince of Verona. He had the power to decide everything in Verona. Just like how he decided to exile Romeo because he killed Tybalt. 
2. The two metaphors that Shakespeare used to help us understand Romeo’s feeling about Juliet are comparing her to the Saint (Angel), and the sun. This tells us that Romeo thinks Juliet is beautiful, bright, and sweet.
]]> 2016-12-16 00:45:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/143973846 Rameesha 1. I think the most powerful person in this play is Prince Escales, I think this way is because he is the king of Verona. The city of Verona he owns it he has right to give punishment to the people or people. https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/143974280
2. In this play Shakespeare uses many metaphors and I think the two metaphors that I found very interesting are, when Romeo comes to Juliet’s Balcony and says her that she is like a sun, and like angel. When he uses sun he means that Juliet is such a bright lady she is beautiful, and the second one is when he calls her angel he is says her that nothing can be compare to her.

Two metaphors that Romeo used to describe Juliet is angel and sun. Shakespeare used these wordsrepresent  how highly Romeo thought of Juliet. These also meant how high above and powerful Juliet is. ]]> 2016-12-16 14:27:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/144054304 Elliott https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/144086125 1.       I believe the most powerful person in the play is Prince Escales. This is because he can tell anyone in his kingdom to do anything, and they must oblige. As well, he can exile or sentence the person to death if he feels their crime is that bad. Another reason is that, he can do almost anything he wants and can get away with it.  
2.       Two metaphors that Shakespeare uses to describe Juliet are, angel and sun. Shakespeare uses these words because he is trying to match Juliet with something. That something is brightness. An angel can be bright and the sun is bright. He also uses these words because those two things are good things to be.  

]]> 2016-12-16 16:23:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/144086125 Maaz https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/144151101 1. I think the most powerful person is prince Escales because when the two family's were fighting, as soon as the prince came they stopped fight(the two family's were powerful). Also he was the one who decided to exile Romeo and no one disagreed because they didn't have the power to.
2. Two Metaphors that Shakespeare uses to describe Juliet are the sun, and angel. he used these words because to Romeo Juliet is the most beautiful person he has ever seen like she came from the heaven. He also thinks of her as the sun, (she stands out) she shines as bright as the sun.]]> 2016-12-17 02:37:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/144151101 Sabby https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/144151359 1. I think the most power full person in the play is Prince Escales. I think this because he has the power to banish people, kill people, and overall he can do anything to the people in Verona because he is the prince. 

2. Two metaphors that Shakespeare uses to describe Juliet is an angel and the sun. I believe he used those words to show the audience how much Romeo loves Juliet and how highly she is thought of by him. ]]> 2016-12-17 02:54:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/144151359 Paige https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/144153375 1. I feel the most powerful person in the play is Prince Escales. I think this because prince Escales is the ruler kingdom of Verona, what he said is what is done no matter what is said. 
2. Shakespeare uses lots of metaphors but two Romeo uses to describe Juliet is angle and heaven. He uses this because these words describe how gorgeous Juliet is, how he looks at her and shows how deeply in love Romeo is with Juliet. ]]> 2016-12-17 05:17:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/144153375 Destinee https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/144153537 1. I feel the most powerful person in the play so far is Prince Escales. First I think that prince is the most powerful person so far because the has power over that whole city. second because the prince gets to decides who lives and who des and also who get to live in the city. next he is also the most powerful because he is the prince. lastly because the is the one who looks over the whole city and he has his own family so he does not have to pick what family to pick between.
2. The first metaphor  pick was when, Romeo called Juliet the sun, when they were talking at the balcony talking after the party. The next metaphor was when Romeo called Juliet was a angel. This again happened at the balcony sense]]> 2016-12-17 05:30:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/144153537 Taya 1.) So far in the play I believe that Prince Escales is the most powerful person. I feel that Prince Escales is the most powerful person because he controls everything that happens in Verona. For example, after both Mercutio, and Tybalt are killed, the Prince decides to write Romeo’s own fate for him, and banishes him from Verona. 2.) Romeo uses a lot of metaphors to describe Juliet. One example, is when Romeo refers to Juliet as the sun. Another example, is when Romeo refers to Juliet as an angel. Shakespeare uses these two words because of the power they hold. To be referred to as being as bright as the sun, would mean that Juliet almost lights up Romeo’s life. To be referred to as being an angel, would mean that Juliet is honest, beautiful, and pure. https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/144153624 2016-12-17 05:37:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/144153624 Kate https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/144153691 1.       I think the most powerful person in Verona is Prince Escales because he has power over everyone in Verona. Everyone fears him because he can choose to execute anyone he wants.
2.       Romeo compares Juliet to the sun and to angels. The sun gives humans life. Without the sun, we couldn’t survive. Romeo is comparing her to the sun because he can’t live without her. Angels are symbols for heaven, when you think of heaven you think of angels. He is comparing her to angels because he thinks she is heavenly. By comparing her to these two things it shows that he thinks the best of her. That he is in love with her.

I think the most powerful person in this play is Prince Escales because he is the prince of Verona. He rules over Verona. He makes all the decisions, deals with conflicts, and gave instruction to everyone in Verona. Everyone in Verona must listen to him.
 
2. Some metaphors that Shakespeare used were sun, star, and angel. This makes us understand that in Romeo’s heart, Juliet is bright and saintly. She is perfect, and flawless. All the words Romeo use to describe Juliet is about how good she is.

I think that the most powerful person is Prince Escales because he gets to decide what happens in Verona.

2. one of them was The Sun, i think that he said that because she is so bright, beautiful, and caring for everyone. the second one was that she was an angel to show that he really did love her alot]]> 2016-12-19 23:23:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/144399056 https://padlet.com/ndcwpg/uvnoavfaszgz/wish/144408246 1.    So far, I believe Prince Escales is the most powerful person in the play because of the examples of power and authority he has shown so far throughout the book. Some examples are when he exiles Romeo after the incident with Mercutio and Tybalt resulting in their deaths and the part where he tells both families that their punishment would be death if they caused another riot that had happened just before then. Prince Escales controls what goes on inside the city of Verona since he is the prince of the city. This why I believe Prince Escales is the most powerful person in the play Romeo and Juliet.

 2.    Two metaphors that Shakespeare used to describe Juliet are words like “sun” and “angel.” Romeo uses these words because he wants us to understand how highly he thinks of Juliet. These words help us understand his feelings more and how amazing he thinks Juliet is. The words are used in a way that compliment her beauty and how glorious she is in his eyes.
