     i have recently finished reading the book romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. this book is about two star crossed lovers who can not be together because they are each others most hated enemies. as the sneaky teenagers they are they meet anyway. the story all started when Romeo Montague met Juliet Capulet at a party held by the Capulet's. romeo and his friends sneak into the party. romeo sees Juliet and falls in love the minute he sets his eyes on her. they eventually fall in love during the story. romeo and Juliet get married because they were so in love. but when Juliet finds out she has an arranged marriage with prince Paris she decides to fake her death. when romeo finds out she is "dead" he commits suicide poor Juliet wakes up to a dead romeo lying on the ground and she kills herself too.

      the book is really sad. i think that all the sneaking around they did is what made the story more intense and if they just told the truth maybe they wouldn't have ended up dead. they were Juliet and romeos behavior was foolish and they everyone found out about their secret love when they were dead. i think that it was very brave to have snuck around though because you never know what there parents would have done if they found out. and if you really love someone you would do anything thing for them.

      overall, i enjoyed Reading the book even though it was a little hard to understand because it was Shakespearean language. but that made you want to learn more about it. i thought it was interesting to read because it taught me more about how to analyze writing that was harder than what i usually read.i recommend this book to people like romance, tragedy and if you want to challenge yourself.
