Post 6- Death

I have just awoken. Friar Laurence is explaining to me that both Romeo and Paris are dead. There is no reason for me to live anymore. I don't understand why the Friar wants me to leave with him. I told him I couldn't live without Romeo. I kiss Romeo, hoping there would still be poison on his lips. I have no luck. I take my love's dagger, and take my life. The Capulets and Montagues have agreed to end their feuding. Since there have been so many deaths, there will be no disagreements or fights. Although I might not be on earth, I can now be with my beloved Romeo forever. I feel bad for my family and the Montagues. But it turned out better in the end, for everyone.


Signed,
Juliet

Post 5- Another Tragedy

I am so grateful for Nurse! She went to tell Romeo to come and see me before he leaves, and took him my ring. Romeo and I had a lovey night but my mother came to give me some news so he had to leave.So apparently Paris talked to my father about marrying me. My father promised Paris that I would marry him on Thursday night, that's only two days away! I don't want anything to do with that man. My father said he will leave me to die if I do not marry him. I can't just  forget about Romeo and marry Paris. My life is such a mess, so I went to seek Friar Laurence's advice. Unfortunately, I met Paris there. We talked a bit, but Friar rushed him out. Friar had a plan for me. He made a potion that would put me to sleep for 42 hours. It will make it seem like I am dead, so I don't have to marry Paris. I passed out as soon as I drank it. I can only imagine everyone's reaction. I'm sure Nurse and my mother are devastated. I wonder what is going through my father's mind, he must be so heart-broken. And poor Paris, he was so excited to marry me. Well, it's something I must do to remain faithful to my husband. It will all be worth it in the end.

Post 4- Tradgedies

The greatest day turned into the most terrible day ever! Everything happened so quickly after Romeo and I parted. The story is, he ran into Tybalt, my cousin. Tybalt, always being so prideful, challenged Romeo. Romeo refused to fight so Mercutio took his place and fought him. Tybalt stabbed and killed Mercutio. Romeo got upset and wanted avenge his dear friend Mercutio. The fight ended with Romeo stabbing Tybalt and killing him. The Prince sought out the fight with my mother and Lord Montague. Finding Tybalt dead, my mother demands that Romeo be killed. Benvolio attempted to defend Romeo but my mother would just not have it. Lord Montague defends his son as well. The Prince as torn, he decided to let Romeo live but he banished him from Verona. Can you believe it? My dear Romeo must leave just hours after our marriage, we have not even had our wedding night! I don't know what to do! I cannot live without my beloved Romeo.

Post 3- Marriage

So last night, the love of my life Romeo and I made plans to be married. I will send someone to ask Romeo of the wedding arrangement the next day. Dear Nurse went to receive the news for me. It took her hours to get back, I was so anxious! When she arrived, it took her a long time to explain herself and to give me the news. I was getting so frustrated with her, as usual, all she did was complain. Eventually, She told me to go to Friar Laurence's cell so he can marry Romeo and I. I was so overwhelmed with joy! After the small ceremony, we had to separate because no one could no about our marriage. Romeo is such a hopeless romantic, he is so happy.

Post 2- The Party and Balcony

So many unexpected things happened tonight, I don't even know where to start! At first, I was kind of hesitant about the party. I was nervous about meeting Paris. While I was dancing with some people, I met a handsome man named Romeo. He is very kind and sweet. I instantly knew it was love at first sight. We danced, kissed, and talked the rest of the evening. Everything was perfect until the party had ended and Nurse told me that he was a Montague. A Montague! I couldn't believe it, the person I love is part of the family that my family despises.
That night, I was on my balcony confessing my deepest thoughts. It is so terrible that Romeo is a Montague. I just wish he could have a different name. Little did I know, Romeo had come to see me and heard everything I had said. I was so embarrassed at first, but then I was upset and worried. I was upset that he had been spying on me. I was extremely worried that he would think I was desperate and wouldn't like me anymore. He confessed his love for me. I am so happy that we have mutual feelings. Romeo and I decided we wanted to be married. Romeo left as quickly as he came, but he said he will take care of everything, and make sure everything is in order for us to get married. I cannot wait!

Post One- The Fight and Paris

Everyone has been talking about the fight in the market this morning, it was between the Montagues and Capulets, as always. Obviously Tybalt was involved, he always seems to be causing trouble and looking for a fight. And then there was my poor father, who is getting so old, while trying to defend himself with a sword from the Montagues, my mother told him he needed a crutch. Apparently the fight got so out of control that Prince went down and declared death to whoever continued to fight.

My mother Nurse just finished speaking with me about starting to find a man to marry. My father is throwing a party tonight, and a man named Paris will be there. Mother and Nurse say that he is very good looking and is a suitable man to marry. But honestly, I haven't even thought about marriage yet. I'm only thirteen, I don't feel prepared enough to get married. I know my father agrees, he is so caring and always wants the best for me. I'm sure he would understand if I don't want to get married yet. I guess I'll have to wait until the party tonight, I might as well give Paris a chance.
