Dear Person,
We are soon to be reading romeo and juliet, and i am quite happy we are to do so. I have not yet read a book of Shakespeare's, so i am not entirely sure of what to expect. I know that there will be the old version of english used throughout the book, in fact, all of it is probably old english. Being that i speak and write in such an eccentric way, i may be able to easily understand Shakespeare's language, for i believe that they might be quite similar.
On other note, my mother has been recently nagging me about our "incompetent" ELA classes, for we never have group readings on classics. I have told her that we were to be reading Romeo and Juliet and she was very pleased. She said she read Romeo and Juliet in 8th grade too. Well, at least now she cannot say our ELA system is incompetent because it is up to speed with hers, and she was satisfied with hers.
The weird thing about Shakespeare, is like you are rereading. Because his works are so famous, I pretty much know the whole plot about Romeo and Juliet. I also know what happens, who dies, and how it ends. Why read it then? Because of the literary style and devices used in it, and because the plot and story is so amazing that it must be analyzed more thoroughly. That is also the same reason why you would reread a book, or re-watch a movie. i can't wait to read it, and i'll tell you about it later.
Sincerely,
Jake Lester
