In the book, The Small Outsider, David had just learned more about food. He learned that some food is edible like steak and celery, and then he learned that some things you shouldn't eat. On page 90, it states,"From then on he tasted everything he ran across. Wthin a few months he had eaten his way through an incredible number of unlikely substances. He ate the cuffs off his shirt, took off his socks and chewed them into tiny shreds, and within six weeks munched his way through an entire bedspread. He was like a moth. He chewed dozens of holes in our blankets and nibbled the bottoms off all the clothes hanging on the line. He worried the pompoms on slippers, and chewed through the cords or blinds." But clothes weren't the only thing David chewed on. He also began stuffing dirt, bugs, nails, bottle tops, sticks, and stones into his mouth. David's mother believes that this is just a phase and that it will end soon, hopefully.
In Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare, I am learning that there are two lovers that immediately want to get married after meeting at the Capulet's Party. But I do have one question. When Romeo talks to Friar Laurence about him marrying Juliet, why doesn't Friar Laurence argue, even a little bit, with Romeo about marrying Juliet since both households are enemies?
