Dear God Brother,
It's been a while since we've spoken to each other and I was thinking that we may be able to reconnect, talking about what's new and what has changed. In my ELA class we have begun to read Romeo & Juliet by the legendary bard, William Shakespeare. I have just finished the first scene of act one, as this tragic love story has been written in the form of a play and through reading this I have found the story slightly hard to understand but nevertheless interesting. I am sending this letter to you in hope that you may get a better understanding of the story crafted by Shakespeare and I hope that after you have read this, you will somewhat understand Shakespeare and perhaps gather a better understand of the bard's work than I have.
To me, the story begins as two characters planning to take action against the apposing side, until the opposite side see's them insulting them openly and a fight breaks out in public, swords drawn. In my opinion, this was a foolish thing to do in the first place, declaring hate openly when you are outnumbered. But reading this has also taught me that as words are spoken, they can mean something else entirely from what you would think it had meant. Truth be told, I had to look at their definitions for words at least several times to learn what they meant because at first it seemed like a bunch of words strung together to make meaningless sentences. But after learning what their words meant, I was thrown of quite a bit because they had boasted about doing some rather disturbing things to others.
I hope this may be of help to you if you decide to take up reading Romeo & Juliet, knowing that you have to look out for hidden meanings while reading. I would recommend this to you but than again this type of reading isn't really for everyone, but since I don't really know about your tastes in reading I can't be sure.
My best wish's go out to you brother, and I hope that you can keep in touch.
-Your Brother Through God, Tyler
Cool letter. By my guess, everyone is doing this. I like Romeo & Juliet. I love the poetry, but, yeah, it can be difficult to understand. I've actually just finished reading it so....
