Comments
This ïs an excellent example of a descriptive paragraph. Not only does it use descriptive vocabulary but it also demonstrates a unifying mood. The mood is romantic and flowery - indicative and connected to the thoughtful title "The Flower of Verona". Furthermore this piece is well connected to the actual content of Romeo and Juliet and displays evidence of thorough research.
