English 1B: Arguement Writing An Introduction

Claim (Thesis/Topic sentence):

Is Romeo and Juliet a tragedy or comedy?

Evidence (introduce/quotes):

ROMEO

“Alive, in triumph!

And Mercutio slain!

Away to heaven, respective lenity,

And fire-eyed fury be my conduct now!

RE-enter TYBALT

Now, Tybalt, take the villain back again,

That late thou gavest me: for Mercutio’s soul

Is but a little way above our heads,

Staying for thine to keep him company:

Either thou, or I, or both, must go with me.”

Warrant (analysis):

This quote supports my topic sentence because it shows how much Romeo cares for Juliet and doesn’t want to fight with any of her family. It becomes so tragic when Tybalt kills Mercutio, he wouldn’t have been dead if Romeo would have just helped him out in the first place. Romeo became very upset with Tybalt and let out his anger by killing Tybalt.

Backing (analysis):

There’s no doubt in my mind that this terrible thing wasn’t a tragedy. What would you do if someone had just killed your best friend? It’s hard to hold back that much anger for so long. Romeo couldn’t stand what Tybalt had done. He needed to stand up for what his rights were, not Juliet’s.

Counterclaim (analysis):

Some people might look at this as a comedy because why would you respect someone who hates you and is about to try to kill you and your best friend.

Rebuttal (analysis):

When you overall look at everything you can see how this is such a tragedy to so many people. Romeo is heartbroken that he has lost his best friend, killed one of his wife’s family member’s, and has lost trust from the person who is most important to him out of everyone. Juliet.

Organization

Organization is an important thing to me because when I'm not organized I feel like my life is a mess and that I don't have anything in order. When I have a messy room or messy back pack my brain feels stuffed with too much things to do in so little time. When I procrastinate and don't manage my time usefully I just feel very stuck and out of place. I honestly don't know what my reaction should be when I end with a room filled with messes everywhere. Sometimes I feel like I need time to clean it up but other times I feel like I need to get the job done then and now. When I am organized my brain feels like I have more space to be thinking about other things that I can get done or I can just take that time to relax and be proud for cleaning up what I had to do that day. Organizing can be hard and can get better if you just pick up a few things here and there. I am very happy when I come home to a clean bedroom and I can spend more time studying for an upcoming test, or watching a little bit of T.V.
