Today, we discussed further who is responsible for Romeo and Juliet's death. In addition to reading 20 minutes tonight, finish your essay. It is due at the start of class tomorrow. Here are the instructions you were given:

Who Is Responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s Death

In a well-crafted three-to-five paragraph essay, argue for whom or what is responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s death. Your essay should have the following components:

1. A header that includes name, date, and introduction and conclusion techniques.
2. An introduction that fits one of the techniques we studied and provides context for the reader (title and author of text and brief summary of plot).
3. A clear thesis that states who is responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s death.
4. Solid body paragraphs that prove your thesis using at least two pieces of textual evidence that are correctly set up and commented upon.
5. A conclusion that fits one of the techniques we studied this year and solidly wraps up your essay.
6. Adherence to standard form: Double space your essay, use standard spelling and punctuation, and write legibly.
