Respect your elders!

From what we have read so far, write an extended response (at least one well-developed paragraph) that explores the following statement:

As Romeo and Juliet progresses, the audience is positioned to see that in the Capulet household respect for the family elders is paramount. 

As you develop your paragraph, ensure that you include/complete the following:

1. A clear topic sentence that answers the question

2. Depth and detail in your analysis - please note, I am asking for analysis NOT a recount of the play

3. Reference to one or more characters (you may also like to take the time to comment on any differences that can be seen when considering how this theme relates to different characters)

4. Relevant evidence that helps to support your main points

5. Synthesise your evidence - take the time to explain why it is relevant. Please note, this does not mean your simply include a quote and then translate it into what you deem 'normal' English. You are writing for an informed audience who understands the language in the play

6. A closing statement that adequately sums up your response

7. Take the time to proof-read and edit

This is due on your Blog by Friday 

Please note, there is a possibility that I will not be here on Friday; however, I am still expecting that the task is completed. This is because there will be a new piece for you to work on over the long weekend and I would like to look at this response over the weekend.
