You Cant Hurry Love:

You Will Just Have To Wait

The song, “You can’t hurry love” by Phil Collins definitely has a good meaning that people should hear. The person who needs to hear this the most is Paris. Paris, a character in Romeo and Juliet, desperately wants to get married to a 14 year old, but must wait.

TS-After scrolling through my ipod I found the perfect song for Act 1, Scene 2 of Romeo and Juliet.SD In this scene Paris wants to marry Juliet, but Capulet thinks differently.CM- Juliet’s father, Capulet, tells Paris, “Let two more summers wither ” before you marry. CM- Capulet is telling Paris his daughter is only 14; don’t rush love. Wait two more summers until she is ready.SD- This scene reminds me an of a song by Phil Collins called, You Can’t Hurry Love. CM The part of the song that relate to this scene says, “My mamma said, you can’t hurry love, no you’ll just have to wait.” CM- These lyrics relate to the scene because both Paris and Phil want to rush into love; but their parents tell them they must wait. CS-Paris, a wealthy, handsome man, is trying to hurry love, but he will just have to wait. (Appositive)

TS- You Can’t Hurry Love is not my favorite song, but it has a nice meaning and fits great with Romeo and Juliet. SD- When Phil Colins says, “you can’t hurry love”, I think of the people who hurry love, then soon fall out of love. CM- I find it sad how many people get married to quick then divorce. CM- A great example of people who hurry love are some celebrities. I always see it on magazines, “Divorced After, 3 Months”. CM-This cycle of a quick marriage then divorce occurs quite often. SD-Love is not something that can transpire (Thesaurus Word) overnight, “love don’t come easy”. CM- Love isn’t easy, it takes time, and a lot of patience. (Appositive) CM- In fairytales, couples meet and get married within a week and... “they lived happily ever after”. Thats not realistic at all. CS- I think if Paris and Juliet get married too quick, they would surely fall out of love.

Love and marrage is not a weekend in Vegas. It's a serious commitment that takes time. People who jump the gun may end up very unhappy.

Self Assesment- I am hoping that I explained my essay clearly. It was not easy to talk about this subject since I am only fourteen. I think I did good with my appositives. But I think I could have made my final paragraph longer.
