The writing style in Romeo and Juliet is complex. Shakespeare uses different sentence forms, or syntax, in his writing. It means the same thing, but can be very confusing. Also sometimes, he will have the characters talk in rhyme or poetic forms. Such as when romeo is talking, the ends of his sentences will rhyme. Another part of the book is in a sonnet. Shakespeare also uses iambs in his writing to complete his style.
The characters in Romeo and Juliet are very interesting. Romeo was so heartbroken about Roseline, but the moment he sees Juliet, he forgets about her. I wouldn't think it would be that easy to get over someone. Juliet is only 12, and planning to get married. I find that way too young. I also don't think they would be in love after seeing each other one time. Benvolio seems to be very helpful and kind, and trying to make peace with people. The nurse is somewhat crazy, launching into a giant speech with no warning, and always watching over Juliet very closely.
The plot just started to introduce itself at the end up Act 1. Romeo and Juliet had just met, and already fallen in love. But they know they can not be together because of their family feud. even though they know that, they are willing to try. Also, the families got into a public fight, and were threatened by the Prince. This causes more tension because they know that they can not fight anymore, but they still keep the feud.

A Perfect Day for Bananafish vs. Catcher in the Rye
I think that Seymour is like Holden. They both seem to have their own ideas of who they want to be and how to live their life, even though it might not be acceptable. Both of them also aren't the sanest. Seymour is diagnosed insane, and Holden was depressed and very energetic. He also ended up in a mental hospital. Seymour must have also been depressed to kill himself. They're also both nice to little kids. Holden was nice to Phoebe, and loved her a lot. Seymour was nice to Sybil and went swimming with her. They also both lie quite a bit. Holden loves to lie, and does it all of the time. Seymour lied to Sybil, but also spoke his opinion on many things, making Muriel and her mother worry.
I think that Sybil is like Phoebe. They both don't care that Holden or Seymour are not quite right. Phoebe loves Holden a lot and was willing to go across the country with him. She also believed what Holden told her. Sybil believed Seymour's story about the bananafish and also was very excited to play and swim with Seymour. They also have similar personalities, being independent at a young age, doing whatever they want (reasonably).
I think that Muriel is like Sally. They both stick with the people they like, even if they don't quite understand them. Muriel doesn't really understand Seymour or what he's going through. Seymour and Muriel also don't seem to fit together. They are very different. Sally is a lot like that because she doesn't understand Holden's personality or actions. They're also alike because Holden and Sally talked about running away, but Seymour and Muriel actually did, driving to Florida.
