Romeo and Juliet/ West Side Story Compare and Contrast I recently finished reading Romeo and Juliet‚ as well as West Side Story. As I read I noticed various things which were similar between the two stories. That also got me thinking about the things that are different as well. One of the obvious similarities is what happened to Bernardo and Tybalt as the stories progressed. They both tried to stop the two lovers from continuing their romance. If they left the two lovers alone they would have lived

1. Compare and contrast these poems. Poems: 1. Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening‚ Robert Frost Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village‚ though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year.

Essay Comparing and Contrasting “Two Kinds” vs. “Blue Winds Dancing” While both of these stories have different themes regarding cultural issues‚ the characters involved similarly have their own reasons that compel them to oppose their individual situations.

Another example of alliteration is "winnowing wind". This example also creates a melodious
