Hello English Scholars - 

I am having immeasurable issues with the publication for my Journalism class. I will update this site as soon as I can, but for now, please remember that you have homework that is due Tuesday.

You may use either your book or this summary to complete the questions at the end of Act II of Romeo & Juliet.

Have a great weekend! Send caffeinated thoughts!
