Where do I go from here?

Dear My True Friend,

       After all that's been happening lately, I decided to write you longing for some advice. I know you've been in tough situations like this, so maybe you could help me get through mine. My cousin Tybalt has been killed by the love of my life, Romeo, who has now been banished from Verona, but why is the question I ask. Why did this have to happen? Yes, Tybalt was wrong in killing Romeo's kin, but Romeo didn't have to kill mine, I guess. Then again, I do feel his hurt and pain. I want to see him, but now I may never get the chance to, and because my parents are prescribing me to marry someone that I secretly hate, I don't think I'll ever get the chance to call Romeo mine again.

       I still suffer the grief and sadness of the two people I most loved being gone. I just want to live happily and free. Is that to much to ask?  Nurse tells me that Romeo is having painful thoughts about what he may do to himself. Me and him both now, because I don't think I can live without him. It's undecided what shall happen, and I love Tybalt dearly, but life without Romeo is no life at all.

      I hope this letter has touched you in some way, and I don't mean to saden you with all my sorrow. But please write me back soon, you are the only person that I have, and actually trust. Surely we will stay in touch.

With hope,

Juliet

  1. Good post, Raeven. I like how you approached this prompt as a letter to a dear friend. My intention had been to write it as though you were keeping a journal, but this works, too. I think your interpretation of Juliet's feelings is accurate and shows a lot about how you view her actions. Also, your post is well-written and flows nicely from sentence to sentence. Keep up the good blogging!
