What is the theme of this passage?

maurice watched his grandfather typing furiously on a typewriter and mumbling to himself. he couldn't resist sneaking behind him and breaking his concentration.

"hey, grandpa, what are you working on today? " maurice asked.

"oh, nothing special. go watch that little tv you carry in your pocket."

"it's a cell phone, gramps," maurice said with a laugh.

"whatever you call it. you can go back to it and not bother with me." his grandfather tried to wave him off, but maurice pulled up a chair and sat next to him.

"come on, gramps, let me have a peek. i promise, i won't disturb you." maurice bent over to read the letters on the sheet of paper coming from the typewriter. the machine always puzzled him. he knew what it did, but he couldn’t understand why his grandfather stuck to this old thing instead of using a computer.

maurice spoke up after a few minutes. "gramps, you know this will be a lot easier to type if you use my laptop. you don’t have to worry about making any errors, and you don’t have to put in another paper every time you reach the bottom of the page. and no more of those messy black ribbons, either."

"that's the problem with you kids. you want everything the easy way," his grandfather replied, shrugging off the boy's questions.

()activityconstruct an argument about a topic, theme, or idea that you read about in william shakespeare's romeo and juliet, act ii or act iii. make sure you create a central claim for your argument that is debatable. provide textual evidence from the play to support your argument.my analysis juliet shows maturity by putting their needs before hers. after juliet has arranged her 'death' with friar lawrence, she is an emotionally awoken woman who will do anything to be with the one she loves. "and i will do it without fear or doubt, to live an unstained wife to my sweet love". juliet faces her fears and trusts in god and friar lawrence. she is forced to use trickery in order to stay true to dear romeo. this showed remarkable courage. before she takes the potion she uses a soliloquy that confronts all her fears. she speaks in blank verse showing the seriousness of the situation. when juliet awakes to see a lifeless romeo lying beside her, juliet's maturity and loyalty takes over and she takes the decision to choose eternity over the present. the quotation "then i'll be brief. o happy dagger! this is my sheath; there rust, and let me die." shows the quickness and determination of juliet's death. during the period of a few days juliet matures into a committed and reliable woman and wife, capable of taking decisions without the of others. shakespeare shows this by clearly stating the different stages that happen and by making everything occur in a short period of time.part cwrite a 300-word essay arguing the thesis of your analysis.
