What is Fluff? Discuss: 3 Minutes What comes to mind when you hear the word fluff? Websters: “something inconsequential” or a “blunder.”

What is Fluff? Mainly a negative connotation for: Unimportant, repetitive extra

Find the Fluff… This paper is going to explain why Romeo and Juliet are faithful companions. Romeo and Juliet were really in love, but they were star-crossed lovers. What I mean is that they wanted to be together, but they really couldn’t be because of their families. Romeo and Juliet stuck together no matter what, as I stated previously. In my opinion, I think that Romeo and Juliet are the perfect example of faithful companions because they couldn’t stand to be apart from each other. They went so far as to kill themselves for their love, which is really desperate. The point I am trying to make is that Romeo and Juliet were really determined to be together, whether in this life or the next.

Examples of Fluff In other words What I mean is… The point I am trying to make is… In my opinion… As I stated previously… As I said in the beginning of my paper… This paper will show/prove that…
