Letter

Dear Friend Person,
I just started reading Romeo and Juliet in class. So far what we learned was that Romeo and Juliet's families are rivals. Although they are both the same social status, they hate each other. Romeo is in love with a girl that doesn't love him back. He is very unhappy, so all his friends are suggesting him to go out and look for another girl.
The way Shakespeare wrote was really interesting. Well, it can also get confusing. Luckily there are these pages that help you decipher what he is saying. Since he uses a lot of puns, and jokes that can be hard to understand, you might need to re-read the lines to understand what he means. Because although there are the pages to help you understand what the words mean, you might need a dictionary close by. I do understand what most of the book is saying though.
Reading Shakespeare is defiantly something new, and I think that it's important that we are reading it because it's a new experience.
