Romeo and Juliet vs. West SIde Story

West Side Story is different than Romeo and Juliet because they are both different kinds of love Stories. For Example, in West Side Story, the story took place in the 20th century. Also, their were two gangs, The Jets (Americans) and The Sharks (Puerto Ricans). The Shark's leader sister (Marie) fell in love with an former Jet member (Tony). Therefore they had to hide their love. On the other hand, in Romeo and Juliet, their are two families, (Montagues and the Capulets). The families are enemies, and Romeo is from the Montagues, and Juliet is from the Capulets. They both fell in love, but they can't be together since Juliet was in an arranged Marriage to a prince and their families were enemies. Therefore, Romeo and Juliet and The West Side Story are both different.
