Romeo and Juliet (reading skills)

I was going to post about my book, but then I thought that Romeo and Juliet would be a better blog wince everybody in the class would have read it. So today we finished reading act 4 scene 1 and this is the scene where Juliet talks with Paris where he tries to comfort Juliet because he thinks she is upset about Tybalt's death but in reality she is upset about Romeo being banished to some place that starts with a 'm'. When Paris leaves, Juliet and Saint Friar Laurence come up with the plan of when Juliet is to marry Paris, she is to drink a potion that Saint Friar Laurence gave to her. This potion would make her look dead, but she would actually be asleep. Then when her family puts her in a tomb, Saint Friar Laurence  and Romeo will carry her out and Romeo and Juliet will live happily ever after, the end. Sadly, I don't think it will end that way. I know that they both die, so I predict that when Saint Friar Laurence and Romeo try to have her escape, Saint Friar Laurence leaves because the police show up and Romeo is left with Juliet and they try to run away but get caught and stabbed. I want to know how is Saint Friar Laurence going to tell Romeo how to get Juliet, since he is banished and all. Also, what will Juliet tell her father? will she tell him that she is already married, or of her plan? This story reminds me of Gnomeo and Juliet (the dumbified version) because it is the same story, only with gnomes. I can relate to Saint Friar Laurence because he just wants to stop the fighting and help out with some friends. In the real world, there are real life stories of 'Romeo and Juliet' style lives, such as the story on this link: modern romeo and juliet.
