Excerpt from America's Great Outdoors Initiative
Donn Saylor
1 Pollution levels are increasing. Threats to nature are rising. It has never been more important to protect America's natural
beauty. At the same time, the country keeps growing. More people means a need for more goods and services. If not sensibly
made, these goods and services can cause lasting problems in nature. Large companies and big businesses often think only
about customers' wants. They pay less attention to the long-term problems that the natural world could face as they try to
quickly meet those wants.

"and i will do it without fear or doubt, to live an unstained wife to my sweet love". juliet faces her fears and trusts in god and friar lawrence. she is forced to use trickery in order to stay true to dear romeo. this showed remarkable courage. before she takes the potion she uses a soliloquy that confronts all her fears. she speaks in blank verse showing the seriousness of the situation. when juliet awakes to see a lifeless romeo lying beside her, juliet's maturity and loyalty takes over and she takes the decision to choose eternity over the present. the quotation "then i'll be brief. o happy dagger! this is my sheath; there rust, and let me die." shows the quickness and determination of juliet's death. during the period of a few days juliet matures into a committed and reliable woman and wife, capable of taking decisions without the of others. shakespeare shows this by clearly stating the different stages that happen and by making everything occur in a short period of time.part cwrite a 300-word essay arguing the thesis of your analysis.
