Barriers can consist of an inability to be accepted for who and what you are or where a society can deny you an ability to develop a sense of self.

Romeo and Juliet Argumentative Essay Decter, Michaela
Due: 05/15/17
Period 5
The story of “Romeo and Juliet” has been extolled as a perfect, timeless,
romance. However, underneath its shakespearian glamor, it is a story of two, very
young children, who were both neglected by their families, until they both ended up
taking their own lives. Romeo and Juliet should not be a couple, young teens aspire to.
In the end this is a tragedy, not a love story made to last through the ages.
At first glance, the love-at-first-sight cliche seems sweet and adorable, until you
realize Juliet is only thirteen, and Romeo is not much older. Capulet states whilst

In the poem, “The Sick Rose”, Blake addresses “rose” in the first line, “O Rose thou art sick.”(1) and laments that the rose’s “bed / Of crimson joy”(5-6) has been defined by an “invisible worm,”(2) particularly by its “dark, secret love.”(7) A love that is dark and secret would imply a sinful, sexual nature or act that is done violently as is portrayed in “In the howling storm:”(4) and destroys the rose’s life “Does thy
