Teogromitmm
I just finished reading through the first act of the The effect of man on the moon marigolds and it was a fast read. It was very different than any other book that I have ever read. I couldnt really truly relat to any of the characters. But if there was one character that I could sort of relate to, I would chose Tillie. There isn't really a close relation but I can kind of tell where she is coming from being smarter than a lot of the people at her school. I can't relate to Beatrice or the Nanny because they are both older than me, and Ruth seems a little too concerned with her popularity for me to be able to relate to her.

Romeo and Juliet
The character that I chose to follow throughout the play was Romeo. This is one character that definitely changed a lot throughout the play. In the beginning he was still grieving over losing Roseline. He was a very emotional person and really needed love. He was very self centered and basically felt like he was the only one that mattered in the world
He would always make quick decisions that didn't turn out to be good ones in the long run. For example when Tybalt and Mercutio were sword fighting, when Mercutio was stabbed, he made the quick decision to start fighting Tybalt, which would eventually lead to him being banished. Whenever he was around Juliet though, he was different, he was calm and relaxed. It probably seemed to his family that he was a traitor because he barely thought about the death of Mercutio, and thought more about Juliet.
The day before Juliet had to marry County Paris, she decided to take a sleeping potion, to fake her death, and then run away with Romeo. But as soon as Romeo sees the love of his life Juliet lying dead. He immediately turns back to his old self and starts making quick decisions. He decides that he wouldn't be able to live without Juliet and kills himself right then and there. Again his quick decisions turned out to not be helpful in the long run, because as soon as Juliet wakes up and sees romeo dead, she actually kills her self.
