Critiquing Romeo and Juliet......

http://www.sparknotes.com/shakespeare/romeojuliet/
^^The website i chose to critique

This website is a very informative and useful source that provides assistance to students while they read the infamous William Shakespeare play, Romeo and Juliet. Some handy feautures included in the wesite are chapter summaries, chapter analyses, a plot overview, character descriptions, study guides, and a quiz is even included for you to take after you finish reading the play. I definitely plan on using this website as we prepare to read Romeo and Juliet.
I am indeed looking forward to reading my first piece of William Shakespeare's literature, and this website can assist me as we read it in class. Here is an example of a section of a chapter summary for Act I, Scene III:
"Lady Capulet asks Juliet what she thinks about getting married. Juliet replies that she has not given it any thought. Lady Capulet observes that she gave birth to Juliet when she was almost Juliet’s current age. She excitedly continues that Juliet must begin to think about marriage because the “valiant Paris” has expressed an interest in her (I.iii.76). Juliet dutifully replies that she will look upon Paris at the feast to see if she might love him.' As you can see, the summary is informative and succint.

I look forward to using the 'site, and i give it a full 10/10! haha :]

Glad you found this site Pat, it is going to be very helpful while we read Romeo and Juliet. I was hoping for a little more meat on what you found on the site itself, showing me you read what was available to you. Score 40/50. Nice work.
