Often times people say that William Shakespeare was and still is a legend.  They <span>are correct.  It is amazing how Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet written </span><span>centuries ago can be better than Franco Zefferelli's movie production of Romeo </span><span>and Juliet, which had much better technology to work with only decades ago. </span><span>Although the movie appeared better, it left out some major parts.  The play had </span><span>better mood and plot details which made it much more dramatic and by far a </span><span>better presentation. </span><span>One major difference between the play and the movie occurs in mood.  An example </span><span>of this is the marriage scene.  In the marriage scene of the play, Romeo and </span><span>Juliet act very serious.  The reader can tell this by the way the two speak. </span><span>Romeo says that the Holy Words the Friar speaks can make something without an </span><span>equal (Act II, Scene 6, Line 4) which is a very intelligent thing to say. </span><span>Whereas, in the movie they kiss and giggle the entire time.  This leads the </span><span>viewer to believe that Franco Zefferelli wanted the two to look like fools, that </span><span>they could not do anything the way it is normally done because they are children </span><span>in search of quick love.  This is bad because it is not very realistic.  In </span><span>real-life, young adults would take the matter seriously because they know it is </span><span>a major step in life.  Because the play is not entirely trying to make the two </span><span>look bad, it is the better production. </span><span>Another major difference in the mood of the play and the movie is in the funeral </span><span>scene.  The funeral scene of the play is a very serious event.  Juliet's family </span><span>is very upset and think that they are the cause of her "death".  Also, the Friar </span><span>soothes the family of the loss of young Juliet's life (Act IV, Scene 5, Line 65). </span><span> However, in the movie version of the funeral scene, again everyone is sad but </span><span>this time the Friar lets out a giggle as he pretends to pray for Juliet.  This </span><span>is a major difference because if someone had seen the Friar giggle, it may have </span><span>changed the entire play.  They may have questioned him why he giggled but since </span><span>he would not have a reason he may just spill what he knows.  Since the movie was </span><span>once again unrealistic, the play is the better production in this scene as well. </span><span>Some other major differences between the play and the movie occurred in the plot </span><span>details.  One example of this is in the beginning of the story.  In the play, </span><span>Romeo is just getting over Rosaline "rejecting" him (Act I, Scene 1, Line 155). </span><span>This means that he could have just been very upset.  Resulting in him just </span><span>grabbing the first thing he could find which just happened to be Juliet.  If he </span><span>had never even met Rosaline he probably would have never met Juliet either. </span><span>Although in the movie version of this part, all that the viewer knows is that </span><span>Romeo is extremely upset from something that was never brought up.  If Franco </span><span>Zefferelli had added this to his production it would probably make more sense </span><span>that him just leaving it out and having the viewer guess what was the matter </span><span>with Romeo.  Due to this difference, the play once again is better because the </span><span>plot is more thought out then the movie where the viewer has to guess. </span><span>Another difference between the play and the movie in plot details is at the </span><span>ending of the entire story.  In the play, the families are finally at peace as </span><span>Romeo and Juliet's real funerals take place .  The Montague's even decide to </span><span>erect a gold statue of Juliet and the Capulet's shake hand's with them which are </span><span>very good signs that the long and bitter feud of the two families is over (Act V, </span><span>Scene 3, Line 295).  On the other hand,  the movie only shows that he two </span><span>families have come together.  But this is for a reason that virtually and two </span><span>groups would come together for-a funeral of one for one of their family members. </span><span>All that the families do to acknowledge each other is as they walk into the </span><span>church, they turn to face their equal in the opposite family.  This is probably </span><span>the biggest difference out of the productions because one of the goal's that </span><span>Romeo, Juliet and Friar Laurence had was that this marriage would end the </span><span>quarrels.  The play's version of this was better because nobody really wants to </span><span>see a sad story which Romeo and Juliet is until the end but the play makes it a </span><span>happy story (in a way) by one of Romeo and Juliet's primary goals being </span><span>completed, although they had to die for it. </span><span>Due to all of the examples listed here, the mood in the marriage scene, the mood </span><span>in the funeral scene, and the plot details in the beginning and the end of the </span><span>play, the play is without a doubt, the better production.  However, if Franco </span><span>Zefferelli had made his movie more as a work of art instead of a production, and </span><span>spent a little more time in doing so, he could have had himself one of the best </span>movies ever, which William Shakespeare did with his play Partner sites: Spanish Language Schools, Pit Bull, and Free Essays and Term Papers

I need help with this ASAP please and thank you … I need to get it done today… can someone please help me with this
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

So the predicate is the part of a sentence or clause containing a verb and stating something about the subject, apart from the noun/ subject of the sentence and then the verb phrase would be the verb paired with its object/ what the verb is doing to it (ex. running a marathon). In the case of number one it would be "writes funny stories" with the predicate being that along with the words following it in the sentence. Number 6 is "put the dirty dishes". Hope that helps!
