* If you were faced with ending a relationship because your
family and your girlfriend/ boyfriends family did not get along, would you end
it or stay together? Explain why or why not and be sure to use examples when
explaining and also relate it to Romeo and Juliet.*
If i had a relationship where our families did not get along i would be upset but figure a way to still be together.if that doesn't work out then i would have to end it.To me family is way more important then love.My family is everything to me so to see them be upset with my decisions i would be upset and would feel bad.Then i would end up breaking up with him and being upset so it is hard to say what i would do.In romeo and juliet they ignore their families and stayed in love but eventually they kill themselves mistaking the other one as dead.I would never want to be that in love because it eventually gets to much for people to handle leading to death.It starts to control lives and makes you seem so easy to fall in love which is bad.Then people get sick have each other which leads to more bad things and i wouldnt be able to handle something so big and controlling.In romeo and juliet they forgot that their families didn't like eachotherand still fell in love .It ended up as the families not liking each other because their children who were young killed themselves over immaturity and love.I think that it would be very immature to have each other killed for just love that was probably immature and unnecasary.That is why if our families didn't like each other i would break up with my boyfriend because it would be stupid to try and love someone you're parents don't like.It would be wrong because in my opinion faimily comes first.
ReplyDeleteOver all I think bridget did a very good job on her passage. She had a lot of great points in it. One of them was, family is way more important then loving someone other than family. I agree with this a lot. Family is more important than loving someone that's not part of your family.All in all I think bridget did a really well job on her passage.
DeleteElenas writing was very good. I thought she had great details and really related to her person experiences with this writing task. All in all Elena really did a wonderful job on this writing task/
DeleteIf I was faced with an ending relationship because my family and my boyfriends family didn’t get along i would probably end the relationship. Why would i potentially risk someone's life because two families couldn't get along? That would be sort of selfish of me i guess you can say. Also, i wouldn't want to lose someone i love but, if that’s what it takes to make everyone safe and happy that’s what i would do for them. Family always comes first. That’s the most important thing to my family. I've heard this for as long as i can remember. Yeah it may suck that i lose the love of my life but, i would do anything for family and even my boyfriends family. Even if the two families don’t like each other. My family and my boyfriends family know the best for us. So it would be best if we didn’t see each other anymore if that’s what our families want. So since my family know the best for me, i might as well go with their opinion and stop seeing my boyfriend. This can be related to romeo and juliet because, capulets and montagues don't get along so they want romeo and juliet not to see each other anymore. What can’t be related is that i would leave my boyfriend. Romeo and juliet rather get married and keep it a secret from family. I wouldn’t keep it a secret from my family because i know one day they will find out and that’s when i would really have to say goodbye to my boyfriend. In conclusion, if i was faced with an ending relationship because my family and my boyfriends family didn't get along i would probably end the relationship because, my family knows best, family comes first, and it could potentially risk someones life.
ReplyDeleteI think Elena did a very good job. Family should always come first not a person that could break your heart. Family will always be there for you and you shouldn't have to choose between family and a boy. All in all I think Elena did a very good job on explaining why she would pick her family.
DeleteIf I was faced with a relationship with a girlfriend that affected my family I would try to work it out first to get my family to talk, and if that didn't work than I would most likely end the relationship. I would do that out of respect of my family. They raised me and brought me up and for me to choose a crush I've known for alil bit than my family ive know for 15 years if selfish and inconsiderate. Secondly if my relationship got in the way of my family I would be upset because at that point in time id probably be in love and not no what to do but right now since im not in that tough, but then in that point of time I would need to realize that family always come first no matter what. I can relate this to family members that are so deep in relationships they cant even appreciate what their parents gave them their whole life they only think about themselves and their girlfriend/boyfriend. It is simply not right and sickening to watch family's fall apart and get into fights over stupidy like this.
ReplyDeleteI think that Stephen did a good job because I also think that family is more important than your boyfriend or girlfriend. This is because they are not always their for you but your family is. I really do think that Stephen did a good job during this blog and I hope that he keeps it up
DeleteI think Stephen has an excellent point he actually is a real gentlemen in this situation that is exactly what I would do and thats the respectful way to do it . Goodjob Stephen
DeleteIf I had a relationship where our families did not get along I would end it because it is not worth the fight. Family is more important because they will always be there for you. If you are dating someone and things get rough they may ditch out and leave you with a broken heart. I wouldn’t want to fight with other people about who I love. But at the same time I think my family will be there even though they don’t like my friends or the people i date. I would listen to their advice, but i have to make my own decisions. Life is about letting go and grabbing something new. I don’t want my family to not like the person i love. Unlike romeo and juliet they fought for their love and die because of it. they would fight for their love and do anything to be with each other. I otherwise wouldn’t fight for love if it wasnt meant to be. I wouldn’t want to fight with my family because they are all i have. In life i learn if one door closes another one opens. Most likely there will be many more relationships in my life and maybe i will find the one and would be like romeo and juliet. Love will find its way in and keep hold of something. Yet again i would always choose my family first because they taught me right from wrong.All in all i would not fight with my family and i wouldn’t choose a person over them either. family is more important than any person that can break your heart.
ReplyDeleteIf i was in a relationship with a girl and my families and their families didn’t get along i will stay with the girl if i really love her. I think that it shouldn’t matter if we're from different families that hate each other, it matters that we love each other and let us live our life the way we want it. What I think i will do is keep it a secret because i don’t want to lose my family and don’t want to lose my girlfriend. If i didn’t really love my girlfriend i would not risk my life falling for her. At least it won’t be like then when if they quarrelled they would be put to death. This essay question really relates to Romeo & Juliet in numerous ways. One way is that in the story, they both came from families that hated each other ( the capulets and montagues) and they still risked their life for each other. They didn’t care what families they were from but they loved each other. Also if they didn’t love each other they wouldn’t risk their lives. I really think that if people loved each other they would definitely risk their lives to be with each other. Romeo and Juliet did it and why not others. As you can see that is how I would handle a situation if I loved someone and they were from a family my family hated. I also explain how it relates to Romeo and Juliet. If a time like this happened to me, I would know exactly what to do like Romeo and Juliet did.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kyle. I wouldn't end the relationship. I would try to work things out so things would not be crazy. I wouldn't want my family upset with me but some things are worth the risk and fight. You have to fight for the things that matters. Those a few reasons why I agree with Kyle!
DeleteIf I had a relationship where our families did not get along I would try and work it out. just because are family's might not like each other because of things that happened between them shouldn't evolve or effect my life. I would try to get are families to talk it out. I would also try to explain that what ever happened between them shouldn't be dragged out and they should just get over it. in relative to Romeo and Juliet, there families didn't like each other because of things that happened centuries before they were even born but because they dragged it out so much it effect generation of the families. now they only kids have no choice but to keep their love a secret . its isn't fair to them because at the end they end up dying because they couldn't live without each other because they knew that there families wouldn't except it. but its sad that it takes to the point there kids take their life's for them to realize how ignorant they were fighting over things that happened years ago. I would personally do what Romeo and Juliet did but i would have at least tried to work it out with are families.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a relationship where the two of our families did not get along together I would most likely try and find a compromise but if the feud was too harsh I would ultimately give up the relationship. Some examples of this are like in the book "Romeo and Juliet" where Romeo's family, the Montagues, and Juliet's family, the Capulets, disliked each other greatly but, even though their family's hatred was in their blood, it was not in their hearts. The reason why I chose to inevitably give up my relationship is because the fighting between our two families will cause me and my family members to resent me for dating the "enemy" and cause me to choose between family or my girlfriend, putting a ton of stress on me. I have had some experience with this before and it is a very tough decision to make. My mother and my girlfriend's mom, who shall not be named, were having a dispute about my girlfriend's mom's parenting style. This caused great tension in our relationship causing me and my girlfriend to argue amongst our selves. After a while we were both fed up with the fighting and just decided to end it before our parents, or more like mothers, got physical. Of course things got very violent between the Capulets and Montagues but despite all the hate their kin had for each other they remained together and it took only their deaths to end the fighting and blood shed. I would have tried to at least reasoned with the other family and I would most likely not give my life in order to end a feud with another family and mine own. But, apparently Romeo and Juliet loved each other so much that they were willing to risk even their lives for their love.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Alex when he says he would try and compromise. I disagree thought when he says if the feud was too harsh, he would give up. Sometimes you have to fight yourself for what you think is best for you. It can be hard, but if you really like the person, it's worth it. I would fight for the relationship no matter what.
DeleteIf my family and my girlfriend's family did not go along well and our and we had to break up I would be pretty upset. Though even if id did I would not let it end for a very long time. Meaning that I would get back together with her. This is because then how would our families know if we still were boyfriend and girlfriend. THEY WOULDN'T KNOW!!! Like an example is if we go on a date to the movies and I could drive we could just say to our parents that we,are going out with a bunch of friends like to the mall or something. S o it is kind of like Romeo and Juliet they do not see each other for awhile and then soon they finally do again. Until the [part when they kill each other which I think that is pretty dramatic to be a lot. To me this is how I would not end mine and my girlfriend's relationship even if both of our families did not get along very well at that point of time.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love Nick’s reply to the blog. He relates it to Romeo and Juliet in his own way and depicts it very well. He also has an incredible way of thinking outside of the box with this. His parents wouldn’t know about them. That way they could still date. I like Nick’s comment and I think his way of thinking like this is just Genius. A good thing to think about after reading Romeo and Juliet how they could have done what Nick was thinking.
DeleteIf I had a relationship where our families did not get along, I wouldn’t end the relationship. If I really had strong feelings for this person, it would be too valuable to end. The relationship could go for a long time. It could turn into something great. In a book I read called Scribbler of Dreams, the Malone’s and the Crutchfield’s hated each other. The main character, Kaitlin Malone, was born into hating that family. Kaitlin had fallen in love with Bram Crutchfield. Kaitlin really liked Bram and they started dating. Even though their families hated each other, they didn’t end the relationship. Kaitlin had also lied to Bram and told him her last name was Hampton. She didn’t end the relationship though. This can relate to Romeo and Juliet because they both knew their families hated each other. They didn’t end their relationship because they liked each other too much. Sometimes you have to not listen to the hate and fighting that’s going on and do what you think is best. You have to do what’s right for you. So, I wouldn’t break up with my boyfriend if our families didn’t get along. A relationship can be too precious and fragile to end. If the families didn’t like it, I would try and talk it out with them. I would tell them that the fighting has been going on too much. This type of problem also reminds me of the song Come Home by OneRepublic. In the song it says “I get lost in the beauty of everything I see. The world ain’t half as bad as they paint it to be. If all the sons, all the daughters, stopped to take it in. Well hopefully the hate subsides and the love can begin.”
ReplyDeleteIf you were faced with ending a relationship because your family and your girlfriend/ boyfriends family did not get along, would you end it or stay together?
ReplyDeleteI can’t truly answer this question because it depends how much we care for each other. Also, I am still young so I have plenty of time to waste on looking for the right person. If my family didn’t like someone’s family they must have a great reason because they give 2nd and 3rd chances to EVERYONE, even people who don’t deserve them. You cant turn your back on your family. You have to be loyal because in the end, they are all you have. But on the other hand, if my family new how much I like that person I would expect them to end the feud for my happiness. But considering how young I am, there are always other fish in the sea. But the future is a long time away and all I need to be focused on is school and having a good high school year. If I only have what i want in the future on mind then I will be missing out on a handful of things that could help me more in the future. Therefore I guess in the long run I would keep my loyalty with my family before any guy.
If I was ever faced with ending a relationship because a family member or a friend did not agree with it I would not even think about ending it. I would especially not end it if I was madly in love with the person. You should never have to end a relationship because someone else did not agree with it. It is your OWN relationship, no one elses. They should have no say in the matter on whether or not 2 people should be dating. Romeo and Juliet are a perfect example for this. Even though they fell “madly in love” with each other in a few hours they still were in love and even though the family were fighting they should have no say on if the 2 children were dating or getting married. In fact it would of helped the family a million times better than anything else because it would of proven they could get along instead of fighting. You should never break up with someone because someone else told you to, you should only consider it if they have reasons for you not to date. If a reason is the 2 familys fighting then that it no where near a good enough reason to leave someone that you love with all of your heart. You would need some actual reasons like if they were to cheat on you or something along those lines. Your love and relationship and time should be given to whoever you want to give it to and it should stay that way for as long as the two of us want not when someone else says.
ReplyDeleteI agree with him. I do believe if your madly in love with the person others people opinions. I do agree there has to be a better enough reason to break up a relationship. When in reality instead of giving up its easy to fix the situation without violence. Exactly its your own relationship not your families. Love is a strong emotion and it shouldn't fade away because of someone else
DeleteI would stay with my boyfriend if my family and his family have a feud. In a relationship I believe no matter what obstacles or what people have to say about your relationship you should stick through it. I would tell my family deal with it they aren't dating my boyfriends family so why are they so sour about everything. Romeo and Juliet stood together but it was more violent. Times have changed and we have other ways of solving problems instead of using violence. I can just talk it out with his and my family and see if they can just be civil. They don't have to like eachother and be buddies but just be civil for the sake of me and him.
ReplyDeleteI think if I had relationship and my family and his family did not get along I would try to see if everyone would at least be civilize. But if that doesnt work Im going to have to end it. My family is everything to me they brought me in this world and they can take me out . That would be the respectful thing to do and not to disrespect him but he also should want the same. I would not want to hurt him and im always going to care for him but it just wouldnt work out . Same goes with,my friends if him and my freinds dont get along for a certain reason and thats my good freind I would probably do the same thing. Thats a really tough situation,to deal with and im sure that goes for alot of people.my sister went throught that wen she was a teenager her boyfreinds family and My family really hated eachother my family wouldnt stop my sister from seeing him but his tried to . His dad kept trying to fill his head with negative stuff about my sister and my family just to try and keep him away but my family is not like that and she actually made the decision to break up with him and till this day they still have feelings for eachother and our families do not get along still but not as bad as before . Everyone goes through something like that and depending on the person they will handle it different. If you were respectful and actually respected your family you would do the right thing but only you can say what is right and what is wrong you just have to know.
DeleteLove is a strong emotion that can be shared by one, two or more people. Love can be towards family, friends, items, and a certain person. Love can also be torn apart by that person or maybe even people. People will sometimes be in a relationship and their families will tear them apart. If I were to be in that kind of situation, I don’t what what I would do. It matters how much I love the person I’m with. But more than likely, I would choose my family over the person I’m with if I absolutely had to choose. Family almost always comes first in situations like those. My family has always been there for me, high or low. No matter what, they are the ones who have my back and will fight at my side when I need them the most. My Family is one of the most important things in my life and I won’t really put any body else over them. So really, no matter who it is, unless the person I’m with is extremely important to me, everytime I will always choose my family over them no matter what.I love my family and they love me. This can clearly relate to Romeo and Juliet. The Capulets and the Montagues were the two main families in Verona Italy. They were constantly feuding with each other and fighting. Romeo and Juliet were in these families but separated by the families opposing hatred for each other. But, Romeo and Juliet didn’t care, they just wanted to be together. So they chose each other over their families and died in that process.
