1. * required identify the narrations point of view.

2nd person
3rd person limited
3rd person omniscient
1st person

1. * required 1 which theme is hinted at in the first paragraph of romeo and/or juliet?

Explanation:

Question 11

The excerpt uses "you" to address the reader, which is characteristic of 2nd person point of view. 2nd person narration directly addresses the audience as "you", matching the language here.

The paragraph discusses relationships, noting that success isn't only defined by lasting forever (even breakups can mean success) and challenges the idea that relationships without death are failures. A hinted theme is that relationships can be successful even if they end (or that the traditional view of relationship success/failure is flawed).

Answer:

2nd person

Question 12 (assuming we analyze the first paragraph: "It’s sad, and you’re sad, but as you reflect on the three wonderful years you shared you begin to realize that relationships can be a success even if they end in a breakup. They have to, right? Otherwise every relationship you’ve ever had and ever will have will be a failure unless one or both of you DIES, and that’s baloney. That’s straight up baloney sandwiches.")
