TEOGRITMM and The Capulets

Tillie Hunsdorfer and Juliet Capulet both are teenage girls living with drama filled problems and emotionally unstable families. Even though these stories are thousands of years apart, the two girls lead fairly similar lives.
Tillie's mother is really stubborn and selfish. She wants Tillie to obey her rules even though they don't always make sense. Juliet's father is the same way towards Juliet. He wants Juliet to marry Paris even though she doesn't want to. When she tells her father about her feelings he gets furious and yells at her. Mrs.Hunsdorfor yelled at Tillie after the principle called to tell her that Tillie was a top contender for the school science fair.
In both of the stories, there is a nanny in the family. In TEOGOMOTMM, Nanny is an very old unresponsive woman who is staying in the Hunsdorfer's home. She is staying there because Tillie's mother is taking care of her. In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet has a nurse that is like a nanny. She is old and happy. 
These two stories are similar with their large amounts of drama and emotion.

  1. I agree, both stories are very dramatic and have many similarities. I didn't think about how both stories have a nanny. Good job!
