In Romeo and Juliet I feel there is various themes such as; being honest‚ moving too fast‚ and needing to be more mature. The main theme I see throughout this Novel is how they need to be more of an adult‚ and knowing how to handle the situation better.

The burning of the American flag is not attributed to a certain group of citizens but to those who strongly disagree
