At the beginning of this scene, Act 5, scene 1, lines 5-9 Romeo tells us a little about a dream he had in Mantua. He's exiled and living in another city but he's happy and expects to see Juliet again soon. He says:
I dreamt my lady came and found me dead
(Strange dream that gives a dead man leave to think!)
And breathed such life with kisses in my lips
That I revived and was emporer.
But that's all he tells us. I'd like you to fill in the blanks of this dream. What exactly did he see, what was the place in his dreams like? Were there colors? What does an Emporer look like? Dreams are always different from real life. Describe Romeo's dream in detail. Minimum 50 words.

Murphy's Law
Murphy's Law says: "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong."
Look over Act 4, scene 1, lines 89-120. This is the Friar's plan to get Romeo and Juliet out of their problem, to allow them to live happily ever after.
Tell me five things that might go wrong with the Friar's plan. (Number them)

You can't tell them the bad news
Have you ever been in a situation where people expected you to do something but you didn't want to do it; and what's worse, you couldn't bring yourself to tell the other person or people that you didn't want to do it?
Either remember such a situation or make one up but either way be descriptive. What is it they expected you to do? What happened when you couldn't bring yourself to tell them you didn't want to do it? What advice would you give to other people who find themselves in a situation like this? (Using dialogue in stories often makes them more vivid.)
Answers that are overly short will not receive full credit. (How long is 'overly short'? I'm not sure but I know it when I see it.)
