Romeo and Juliet

The first part of Romeo and Juliet was a change of pace especially, especially after recently reading the Catcher in the Rye. Like we discussed in class, there were a lot of sentences with the words scrambled around from how we would normally say things. For example on page 6 (I marked all of the pages) it says "Not having that, which, having, makes them short.". Also there are a lot of different words (which was expected) that were used back then that we don't use now. On page 21, Juliet says "Come hither, nurse. What is yond gentleman?" I also didn't think that the story would start up right away with Romeo wanting love so bad. In the beginning of the book, I was confused because Juliet didn't show up in the story until about page 11, and she is one of the main characters in the book.
