While Benjamin Franklin is known as a statesman and diplomat, he was also an accomplished inventor and scientist. Franklin was mainly a printer by profession, but he also investigated natural phenomena, such as ocean currents and lightning. His marine research led to his publication of a map of the Gulf Stream currents. Franklin developed theories about electricity, made famous by his experiment with a kite and a key during a lightning storm. As a result of his work with electricity, Franklin invented the lightning rod, which protected buildings from lightning strikes. Always curious and imaginative, Franklin also invented the bifocal glasses, the Franklin stove, an odometer for carriages and a musical instrument called a glass armonica. He investigated evaporation as a cooling technique and designed nautical enhancements, including watertight compartments.

Romeo and Juliet, a play by William Shakespeare, tells of two young lovers from feuding families. Romeo is a Montague and Juliet is from the Capulet family. Earlier in the play, Juliet and Romeo meet for the first time at a party. In this scene, Romeo has climbed over a wall into the garden outside Juliet’s room. She is on the balcony and has not seen him. She thinks she is alone, although Romeo can hear her.
Juliet: ’Tis but thy name that is my enemy. Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What’s Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot, Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!What’s in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet. So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call’d, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name; And for that name, which is no part of thee, Take all myself.
