ReplyDelete2)The conflict of the novel is two gangs deeply hate each other. There is a hispanic gang called the sharks and a caucasian gang called the jets. Then a boy from the jets falls in love with maria who is from the sharks.
3)The two main characters are maria and tony. they are two teenage kids who fall in love with each other even though they are in opposite gangs and no one want them to be together.
4)Romeo and Juliet are alike to west side story because they love each other even though they arent ment to be together.
1.The setting of the novel takes place in New York, Harlem.
ReplyDelete2.The novel is about two gangs in New York, the first gang are the Caucasians, and the other gang are hispanics. Both gangs hate each other. Within no doubt this novel is person v.s. person. Moreover; in both gangs there is a member that is is fully in love with the other member of the gang. Within the hate of both gangs there love is impossible.
3. Both main characters of the gangs are Maria and Tony. Both in love with each other, two young teens that felt in so in love with each other that they would do anything to see each other. However; a member of both gangs interfere them at all cost to separate them and there love.
4. Romeo and Juliet, so as West Side Story have a strong similarity. Both base on a love story, a love that is impossible, for the use that in Romeo and Juliet there problem was the strong dislike of their family. However; in West Side Story the problem is the dislike of both gangs. Both novel contains star-cross-lovers.

ReplyDelete2.The conflict is between two gangs. The Jets, who think they are the best gang in Harlem, and the Sharks, who are the new gang full of hispanics. The Jets are determined to get rid of the Sharks, and the city is safe for now. The conflict is person vs person.
