Read the Poem "High Dive" and then answer the prompt that follows.
High Dive
My stomach is communing with my toes
My legs - boiled noodles having no will to support
I force one foot up
then the other.
I hold fiercely to the hand rails
as I climb slowly.
The voices of my fear screech their warnings,
"Don't go! Don't go!"
Pushing my fear behind me, I step onto the board.
It quivers alive - mirroring my quaking legs.
I struggle cautiously to the end;
Cementing my feet, I lean precariously forward
and peer into the depths below.
The twinkling eyes of the ripples catch my frightened stare;
The crystalline nymphs implore me,
"Just fall forward! Stretch out your fingers. We will catch you!"
I almost believe leaning ever nearer
Then - fear grabs me.
"Don't do it! It's too far!"
The voices do battle;
I'm caught in between!
Suddenly a new voice enters the fray.
"If you're gonna jump, jump! You're holding up the line!"
I turn, aware that several bodies block my escape.
I look to the right and see my friends beckoning far beneath me.
I lock my fear away,
Place my arms over my head
and fall forward.
My fingers slice the surface
I plunge into the quiet depths
Hearing the whispers around me
"You did it! You did it!"
I emerge - smiling -
The nymphs victorious
Fear slinks away.
I leave the pool and walk back with gained confidence to where my journey began.

Read the excerpt from act ii, scene v of romeo and juliet. friar laurence: these violent delights have violent ends, and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which, as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness and in the taste confounds the appetite: 15 therefore love moderately; long love doth so; too swift arrives as tardy as too slow. friar laurence is motivated to offer this warning because he knows that something bad will certainly happen to the lovers. feels that romeo is acting foolishly and should not get married. enjoys giving advice because he is wise and can others. wants to caution romeo about the consequences of his actions.
