Prompt G: Character Imitation of Juliet
Dear Thou Diary,      April 21st, 1467

Where is the Nurse? Does it take that long for her to come back from finding information about Romeo? All I want is for her to show up with the information from my love...
UPDATE: The Nurse did finally show up! Romeo has asked me to marry him oh! This is the happiest day of my life. Will we have kids though? There is so many stuff to plan! I think we should have about 2 kids. I feel like I am rushing everything however. To marry someone I just met... I guess it's called Love at First Sight! I am thankful I am not marrying that Prince! How could my Father think that he could just pair me up with someone he thinks I love? I am in control of my own body and I get to make the decision of who I want to marry.

Sincerely,

Juliet

Prompt G: Diary

Dear Thy Diary,

I must say that today has been a bad day for thy. What doesn't Rosaline love me? I got everything! The

good looks, the muscles, and the personality. I'd rather die than face this situation! It must be my family and

the Capulets. Why does thou Capulets must trigger such feud against the Montagues? This must be the main

reason why she doesn't love me! If I were my father, I would settle this feud and stop the fight. Only then

will I ever have a chance to get with Rosaline.

Prompt A: Summary

The story starts off in Fair Verona where two guards are talking about the feud between the Montagues and

Capulets. The House of Montague Servants comes closer and the two guards discuss how to trigger a fight

between them. One of the guards bite his thumb, an insulting gesture, which triggers a small fight. Benvolio,

the nephew of Lord Montague, draws his sword in an attempt to stop the fight. Thybalt, the nephew of Lord

Capulet, draws his sword and the two also start fighting.  Lord Montague and Lord Capulet also enter but

their wives prevent them from fighting. Prince Escalus enters the stage to ultimately break up the fight. He

also notes that anybody who breaks the peace will have severe consequences. Lady Montague questions

where Romeo is and Benvolio finds him alone. Romeo is sad because the love of his life, Rosaline, does not

love him back and sworn a life of a virgin. Benvolio tries to tell Romeo to ultimately forget her.
