ROMIETTE & JULIO SHARON M. DRAPER ARIEL D.

SUMMARY Romeo and Juliet. But it’s opposite. Romiette and Julio. African-American and Mexican-American. Julio, new to Cincinnati. Romiette, born and raised in The Queen City. Their relationship not liked by a gang, the “Devildogs”.

MAIN CHARACTERS Romiette Cappelle Julio Montague • African-American • Mexican-American • Tall and slim • Tall and strong • 16 years old • Loves to swim • Terrified of water • Moved from Corpus Christi • Parents: Lady and Cornell Cappelle • Hated Cincinnati before meeting Romiette

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ROMIETTE CAPPELLE • She has dreams about her drowning and a voice calling out to her at the end of the dream. • After meeting Julio, it turns out the voice belongs to him. • After constantly sitting with Julio at lunch, the Devildogs threaten Romiette and Julio because Julio is not black and they don’t approve of their relationship.

DESTINY • Romiette’s (Romi) best friend • Has a fetish for telling people about things that’s going to happen to them • Because of their zodiac sign

SYMBOLS • Fire and Water • They’re significant in this story because Romi’s dream is of her drowning and Julio hates fire. These are significant things in the story, mainly at the end.

THEME • The lesson of this novel, in my opinion, is to be yourself no matter what people thinks.

QUOTES • “Romi stood there shaking and angry. ‘Peace? Doesn’t look like it. I wonder what that was all about. Something’s going on here. ’” • “’Soul mates’, he said quietly. ‘Forever. ’”
