TEOGROMITMM Stuff

Hey fellas.
I didn't do my post last week because I didn't get the book because I was sick, so here are both my TEOGROMITMM posts:

I can relate to this book because, like Tillie, I have my hobbies that I really love to escape my real life sometimes. Of course, the difference of this similarity is that Tillie gets involved with her hobby when she wants to escape her mother's verbal abuse while I get involoved with my hobby usually because I'm bored. And, unlike Tillie, my hobby is not science. That's all I could really find that I could relate to, so...yeah. Next post!

I actually think that Tillie's family and the Capulets actually have a lot in common. For one, Lord and Lady Capulet are a lot like Beatrice because they both think that they are doing the best for their daughters, Lord and Lady Capulet forcing Juliet to marry Paris and Beatrice keeping Tillie away from school, but they never listen and accept their daughters' true desires: Juliet's desire to marry Romeo and Tillie's desire to go to school and learn about science.
I sort of found a link between the characters of Ruth from TEOGROMITMM and Nanny from Romeo and Juliet, even though Nanny is technically not part of the Capulet family. Personality-wise they're not very similar: Ruth is very desperate to fit in, but she finds it hard to because of her epilepsy, and Nanny is an overall sort of mother-figure to Juliet. Their similarity is that both of them help Tillie and Juliet respectively with their desires, although Ruth only minisculey.
The big difference between these two families is the real technicality of their lives: the Capulets are very wealthy, Tillie's family is very poor. I also found that while Tillie openly discusses her desire for science and school, Juliet keeps her desire to marry Romeo a secret from everyone except for Nanny.
