Product Description: A new approach to the love story that never grows old!
The "star-crossed" lovers have moved readers and movie-goers in a variety of forms through the years. More than 55,000 copies of various print editions of the play are sold annually. The manga version of Romeo and Juliet infuses new energy into the trials and tribulations of history's most passionate and celebrated young lovers.
Romeo and Juliet for Young People An alternative to the same old Romeo and Juliet for young people! Certain classes seem to dive into Shakespeare, while others drift over him, never really sure what his most famous tragedy is truly about. This comic/manga version, is a useful tool for students struggling with the reading of Shakespeare's language, making the play accessible while still requiring the student to read key passages. The pictures capture the student's attention and often times get the hesitant student to read what they normally wouldn't. I used this version to teach last year and was amazed at the response! Very helpful and well done!
Love, defiance and tragedy. Romeo and Juliet, a cursed love. In a world locked behind Verona walls, the story ofRomeo and Juliet questions the very meaning of love and the importance of it.. It puts forward the notion that a life without love is not worth living, and explains the decisions, the conflicts and tragedy that illustrate the journey in between.Trapped within an ongoing feud that denies the love that Romeo and Juliet posses, it is a strugglein itself to defy their parent's authority, which to some may seem adolescent, but in actual fact is quite honourable.It describes a tragedy so moving, so gripping. It lets us feel the emotionally charged characters,their beliefs, loyalties and values, in such a way that grips our very souls to feel such pity for theend result of their cursed love. They loved only forsome hour's time, but sacrificed a lifetime's worth
