Sonnet

Romeo, dear, my love is vast
Holding onto our last kiss
The time that passes is not fast
Your eyes and lips are what I miss

You had to leave so sudden, so soon
Our love is frowned upon
But I love you more than the stars love the moon
One day, I will be able to see that smile on

The face that draws me in, oh so much
I want to hold your hand and never let go
I yearn and long for every touch
and just knowing that you know

Keeps me going from day to day
But why do you seem so far away?

THE CAPULETS AND MONTAGUES ARE AT IT AGAIN!

There was a fatal brawl last night that left two citizens dead and one citizen missing. Mercutio, in close relation to the Prince, and Tybalt, who was a cousin to the Capulets were killed and Romeo Capulet is currently missing. Benvolio, of the Montagues, was an eye-witness to the terrible scene and was interviewed for his full report on what happened. According to him, Tybalt wanted to fight Romeo but Romeo declined and tried to mediate the situation. Also, making alleged suggestions that Tybalt and himself were related. And Mercutio, who had some violent tendencies, decided that he would fight Tybalt himself. But, in Romeo's attempt to solve the problem, he got inbetween the two of them and Tybalt ended up stabbing Mercutio. He died on the spot. Then, Romeo's anger got the best of him and he killed Tybalt for killing his best friend. Then, he just decided to run away so he wouldn't get caught. The Capulets and Montagues have been fighting for as long as we can remember. A few weeks ago, the Prince declared that if he heard of one more fight between the two infamous families, there would be a death sentence. You would think that with this warning, the familes would consider changing their violent ways. We got a few comments from the Prince, saying that the families will pay for the unfortunate events of the terrible night. Romeo is still missing and the forces are working as hard as they can to find him. As for now, our deepest sympathies go out to the kin of the fatalities.

Act III, Scene 1 Newspaper Article Assignment

Terror struck the citizens of Verona when there was a knock-down, drag-out brawl between the Capulets and the Montagues. The end result was two fatalities and one missing person. The Capulets lost their fine cousin, Tybalt, and the prince lost his kin, Mercutio in this terrible fight. We interviewed Benvolio, of the Montagues, and had him tell his story. "That Tybalt came out of nowhere all like 'yo Romeo, I want to fight! I want to fight,' and Romeo was all 'nah man, I don't want to do this, I love you' and then Mercutio, always ready to fight was all like 'hey Tybalt, I can fight you,' and so then they started to fight but Romeo got in between them trying to make peace and then Tybalt reached around and stabbed Mercutio under Romeo's arm. Then, Mercutio died and I tried to comfort Romeo but there was no use. Then, Tybalt came up and Romeo got mad and lost his temper. I looked away for just a second and when I looked back, Romeo's sword was in Tybalt's chest. So, I told him to run and go find some place to stay." These families, as we all know, have been fighting for a while. But, Tybalt's man was there too and he said the story went the same way, except that Tybalt was minding his own business. Other eyewitnesses, on the other hand, agree with Benvolio's story. We interviewed the prince and all he had to say was "they will pay. they will pay." so we don't know exactly what is in store for the two families or if they'll find Romeo or not. I guess it's all just a waiting game for now. (DH)

CAPULETS AND MONTEGUES FIGHT AGAIN

Yesterday, in the late evening, the Capulet Family and the Montague family continued their fighting in the town square. This time, there were two casualties. Tybalt Capulet, 14, nephew of the great lord Capulet, was allegedly slain by Romeo Montague, 14, son of the Great Lord Capulet. "The reason behind this," says Benvolio Montague, "is because of the fact Tybalt killed one of Romeo's best friends with no reason but to fight." Another eyewitness states "It seemed like he [Romeo] was trying to break up the fight! Then he killed Tybalt. Tybalt must have made him mad* somehow." Mercutio, 14, cousin of the great Prince of Verona, was the other Casualty. He was allegedly slain by Tybalt, using Romeo as a shield when trying to break them up.
This feud has been raging on for years. Both families have been described as 'hot headed' and just wanting to fight. Lord Capulet had this to say about the feud: "It was getting tiresome. We had no reason to fight but to satisfy the rage that we felt about... well ANYTHING really. We are both powerful families and we got envious of the other for doing nothing wrong. I was about to stop fighting completely. That was before this hot-headed, good for nothing* Romeo Montague comes charging up, thinking he owns the place! He kills my only nephew!"
The Prince has this to say about the entire thing: "I don't know exactly what happened, and I don’t know if I ever will, but blood was slain and I can't let that go unpunished. My cousin is dead and Tybalt is dead. Romeo Montague will be banished from the streets of Verona."

our love is not just strong feelings we share
it is also happiness and sadness,
which is brought by the loneliness i cant bear,
it sometimes brings anger i must confess.
i feel there is nothing to do to help.
when i am so far away, who will be
there to ease your pain? i will be your help
whenever i can. you are there for me
to show your love and care, which brings upon
such happiness. your kindness, honor, and trust
show that love is there. the smile i see on
your face makes me high, this is why i must
share that wonderful feeling more with you
just to prove that my love is oh, so true.
(KA)
Romeo Montague, my only love,
I dont want to waste anymore dear time.
You are like an angel sent from above,
Sent here to this earth to be only mine.

When my eyes met yours, i knew we could be,
Somthing always special and something great.
Even though shouldnt love, here are we,
Truely in love despite our parents hate.

Im always in love and lost with out you,
We could marry and be toghter now.
How can i show Romeo Montegue,
I wish my parents would accept you.. how?

I am in love, i am truely in love,
I dont need a push, i dont need a shove.

France?

Okay, so my mom had this "great" idea that i should be married by the time i'm 14, just because she was. i dont want to be her, though. i want to be my own person.

so, she set me up with this Paris guy. (i don't know, maybe he's actually from France.) and my father invited him.

he got to the party and we danced a couple dances. he's a terrible dancer but i wouldnt dare tell him that. thats the kind of thing you keep to yourself.

then, i met this other guy. i didnt even know his name and he kissed me. full on, lip to lip kiss. it was really cool, and an interesting new experience.

after he left, i asked my nurse what his name was. she told me his name was none other than Romeo Montague. there's a big problem with that. us Capulets HATE the Montagues, and here i go falling in love with him. i'm in big trouble, arent i?...

The Party


Im going to a party, where i will meet paris. He is beautiful (as my mother says) inside, so he must be beautiful outside as well. The only problem is my father does not want me to marry as soon as me or my mother would want. i have no idea when i will be getting married, but i hope it will be soon, for i am almost fourteen. I have to convince my father to let me marry paris as soon as possible! -AM

Juliet's Scrapbook


Today, my mother actually talked to me. She called me (well, technically, my Nurse did) and she sat me down. But of course, she wanted about that Paris guy. She thinks that since she was married and had children when she was 14, I have to do the same! She also thinks that since Paris is handsome, his personality is just a great. But, i beg to differ. I know nothing about love, or boyfriends, or husbands for that matter. Sometimes I think my mother just wants to get rid of me. My nurse never made me feel like that. She has always taken care of me, ever since I was a baby. If I needed to talk about something, she was there and not my mother. Why does it have to be that way? Once I have children, I will try to spend time with them. So anyway, I think Father planned a party at our house and he's inviting Paris. I don't really want to meet him but maybe I will have fun. Who knows, maybe I will meet someone else. (BR)
