Beyond the gate, lies a dull, gloomy factory blocking my view. Below where the river lays, rustic boats stay still like they have been forgotten. Above the giant grey concrete building, the sky is glim, and I can’t even hear the chirp of one bird. Surrounding me is nothing but this factory, which feels like it is just staring at me as it awaits my arrival. The workers who are guarding this building I am about to enter, have serious faces that look glued in that position. Continuing past these peasants their large dogs growl at my appearance, although it doesn’t bother me.

Key events that happen in the morning:

1. Someone wakes me up – I hear a voice call my name.
2. Munch on some breakfast – I smell the granola as I open the packet.
3. Get changed – I feel my itchy kilt hit my legs.
4. Brush my teeth – I can taste the fresh mint overtake my mouth.
5. Pack bag – I see my computer that I almost forget to pack.

A semantic field is a technique often used by writers to try keep a certain image perpetual in the readers mind. Shakespeare uses this technique throughout Romeo and Juliet by referring to different pictures that he wants to keep fresh in the readers head. An example of this is how he would refer to God a lot throughout the script, this kept the message that they were religious in out minds.

CONCLUSION: 

Juliet: I sent the Nurse at 9 o’clock. She promised to return in half an hour. Perhaps she cannot meet him. That can’t be. Oh she is slow! Loves messengers should be thoughts, that fly ten times faster than sunbeams. They should be strong enough to push shadows over the dark hills. That’s the way doves carry Venus so fast, and that’s why Cupid has wings that let him fly as fast as the wind. Now it’s noon. That’s three hours since nine o’clock, but she hasn’t come back. If she was young and passionate, she’d move as fast as a ball. My words would bounce her to my sweet love, and his words would bounce her back to me. But a lot of old people act like they’re already dead—sluggish, slow, fat, and colourless, like lead.

Oh my God, her she comes. Oh sweet Nurse, what is the news? Did you meet with him? Send your man away.

Nurse: Peter wait at the gate

Juliet: Now Nurse, why do you look so sad? If the news is sad tell me like it’s good and if the news is good you are tricking me with your sour face expressions.

Nurse: I am tired. Can you please me alone for a minute my bones ache. I have been running all over the place.

Juliet: I wish you had my bones and I had your news, now please Nurse tell me, speak good.

Nurse: Jesus! you’re in such a rush, can’t you wait a little longer I’m out of breathe.

Juliet: Well you had enough breath to tell me you had know breath. The excuses you are making to make it longer than the news itself. Just tell me if the news is good or bad, I can wait for the details later but need to be satisfied now.

Nurse: Well, you have made a foolish choice. You don’t know how to pick a man. Romeo? No, not him, though his face is more handsome than any man’s, and his legs are prettier, and as for his hands and feet and body, they’re not much to speak of, and yet they’re beyond compare. He’s not the most polite man in the world, but, believe me, he’s gentle as a lamb. Well, do what you want. Be good. Have you had lunch yet?

Juliet: No I haven’t had lunch! And everything you just told me I already new. Tell me about our marriage, what about that.

Nurse: Man I have a bad headache, my head is pounding. It feels like its about to shatter, and ouch my back to (Juliet rubs her back) Oh no the other side, Ouch it hurts so bad. Curse you for sending me all over town, ya know I could get sick and die.

Juliet: Believe me I am so sorry that you are in pain, oh but sweet sweet Nurse what did my love Romeo say?

 

JULIET
The clock struck nine when I did send the nurse;
In half an hour she promised to return.
Perchance she cannot meet him: that’s not so.
O, she is lame! love’s heralds should be thoughts,
Which ten times faster glide than the sun’s beams,
Driving back shadows over louring hills:
Therefore do nimble-pinion’d doves draw love,
And therefore hath the wind-swift Cupid wings.
Now is the sun upon the highmost hill
Of this day’s journey, and from nine till twelve
Is three long hours, yet she is not come.
Had she affections and warm youthful blood,
She would be as swift in motion as a ball;
My words would bandy her to my sweet love,
And his to me:
But old folks, many feign as they were dead;
Unwieldy, slow, heavy and pale as lead.
O God, she comes. – O honey Nurse, what news?
Hast thou met with him? Send thy man away
