Romeo and Juliet: Scene 1 Act 1

Dear my invisible cat,

Some important observations I've made so far are that the Capulets and the Montagues really despise eachother.  But the Prince of Verona is trying to bring peace among the two families (but obviously thats never going to happen). Also, I've noticed Romeo is very heartbroken because he can't have Rosalinda. He is dramatically upset.
My experience now with reading Shakespeare was quite interesting. I didn't think I'd understand much, and I was right..but I'm learning and thats whats important. If I were to give you advice on how to read Shakespeare, it would be to just think about what the context relates to in modern times, and try to connect with the text somehow. That way you'll understand it better.
So I really enjoyed reading the first scene out loud and kind of reenacting them. It was actually fun to see everyone participate, who normally wouldn't.

Thats all for now, Love Nawreen.
