Meeting Romeo

After only one night, I have fallen in love. Romeo Montague took my heart with a kiss. I have never felt this way about a person before and I swear I will do anything to make our love work. Even though our families don't get along I hope our love can overcome our families feud. I know I am young but I know I am in love. Will my parents ever approve? Is this love worth going against my family? I hope this all works out. I told my mother that I don't dream of marriage but now its all I want. I want to marry Romeo. I want to be with him forever. Romeo is my one and only love. I will love him forever.

Nurse

I feel like my nurse is my mother. She takes care of me like my mom should. Nurse listens to my problems. She also gives me advice. Why doesn't my real mom do that? Why doesn't she care? All she does is force me to marry someone that I don't love. She didn't even ask me what I want. So with that I guess I have to depend on Nurse to take care of me. I mean I know she will be there for me. I just wish my mom did the same.

Abandoned I'm only 13 and my life is starting to crumble beneath me. My one true love killed my beloved cousin, Tybalt, then was banished. I tried my hardest to shun and be mad at him, but I love him too much! Ignoring him was the hardest thing i have ever had to do. He is the "light to my dark" and the "good to my evil". We are perfect for each other and for you rbetter half to be taken away like that really hurts and tests how much you care for them. I caved, i'm weak, i love with all my heart. When he was banished, that was it, I couldn't stand it. I needed him back! So I decided to fake my death, to make him come back to Verona. I will do anything to have Romeo come back. I will always love him and only him.

Paris

My parents told me I have to marry Paris. My father thinks it will make me happy again. If only he knew that I am depressed because Romeo is gone, not because Tybalt was killed. I don't want to marry Paris. I don't love him, in fact I don't know him. I love Romeo, I only love Romeo. I can't even marry Paris, since I'm already married to Romeo. Will Friar even marry us? I want to tell father that I am already married, but I can't. I can't tell him that I am married to the enemy. I can't marry Paris, I can not love him.

The Potion

Friar is a genius! He's given me this potion, he is my savior! My wedding is only moments away and Friar Laurence has presented me a potion that will put me to sleep and I;ll deceive everyone... They'll all think I'm dead! Then I can finally be with my love, Romeo. The only problem is... The potion might actually kill me. But I think it's worth the risk. I'd rather be dead than live in a world without Romeo. I'm so scared... I can hear the church bells now... I have to drink it. If this does end up taking my life, and if someone finds this, please. Tell Romeo I love him and we will be reunited again someday.

__**My poem to Romeo**__

If you die for me, I will die for you. And our graves Will be like two. Forever, You and I will always be together I will always love you. Romeo and Juliet That is who we are, You will always Be my shining star Don't leave me, For I could never leave you. If you die for me, I will die for you.



This is my Nurse. She takes care of me and listens to my feelings. She is like a mother to me.

I love Romeo so much. I wish we could openly share our love, but because of our families differences, me cant. :(



These hearts represent me and Romeo's love. There are two hearts, one for me and one for Romeo.



I have to take a potion to make me look like I'm dead. I am scared because it has a risk of killing me. I hope everything will be okay.

I am going to kill myself with Romeo's dagger. He died for me so I should die for him.

__**Essay**__

In the play Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, we find Juliet to be a naive little girl with no real understanding of love. Juliet proves herself to be such a naive person when he mother is talking about her wishes for her to get married and Juliet simply dismisses it saying, "It is an honor that I dream not of." (Shakespeare 1, 5, 4). Juliet doesn't want to marry, however after she meets Romeo she quickly changes her mind and is "in love" with him. We used the lyrics from Taylor Swift's song "Love Story," to show how young Juliet really is. Lady Capulet says, "She's not fourteen" (Shakespeare 1, 3, 13). She is young and naive because she thinks that she is in love after only one day. The diary entries that we put into our wiki show Juliet's feelings on Romeo, the nurse and her arranged marriage. Juliet loves Romeo so much that she says, "Deny thy father and refuse thy name,/ or, if thow wilt not, be but sworn my love,/ And I'll no longer be a Capulet." (Shakespeare 2, 2, 37-39). Juliet think she loves Romeo so much that she is willing to deny her name and her family to be with him. When Nurse wants Juliet to forget Romeo and marry Paris, Juliet feels betrayed by Nurse. "Ancient damnation, o most wicked friend!" (Shakespeare 3, 5, 248). To Juliet, Nurse was like a mother to Juliet, but when Nurse doesn't agree with Juliet, she feels betrayed and doesn't love her anymore. "He shall not make me there a joyful bride!" (Shakespeare 3, 5, 122). Juliet doesn't want to marry Paris because she is already married to Romeo and only loves him. Juliet chooses to go against her parents wishes and not marry Paris because she is secretly married to Romeo. Her destructive actions and disobedience lead only to her personal sorrow and ultimately, her death.

Love Story by Taylor Swift is a great song that describes the relationship between Romeo and Juliet.

Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen is a song that perfectly tells how Juliet feels about Romeo moments after they first met.

P.S. I Love You is a great love story about holding the ones you love most, near to you and never letting them go. This relates to the play because of Juliet's love for Romeo is stronger than ever and when Romeo is banished, she is crushed.

A Cinderella Story, yet again another movie. This movie relates to Juliet because in both the play and movie the girl is willing to go to the ends of the earth to be with her "Romeo".

I love you - those three words have my life in them. ~ by Alexandrea to Nicholas III ~

This is a quote that we think Juliet would love and stand by. She devotes her whole life to Romeo and how she can be with Romeo.
