In your packet, there's a sheet that discusses some of Shakespeare's language tricks: personification, metaphor, simile, allusions, reversed word, reversed thought and reversed sentence construction.
For this blog, you can either ...
find an example of one of those language tricks in Act I of "Romeo & Juliet"-- and cite the scene and line number
OR
write an original example of reversed word, reversed thought or reversed sentence construction.
