♥Review

This is William Shakespeare’s tragedy. This Romeo and Juliet have a modern setting. For example, modern clothes, cars and guns are used in this story.The Montagues and the Capulets are enemies from long ago.
Romeo was in love a certain woman, but it wasn’t true love. However he couldn’t give up. He heard that the woman would go to a costume dance party. This party was held under the auspices of the Capulets. He decided that go to the party with his friend. Anyone could know that he is the Montague. He saw a beautiful woman on the other side of an aquarium. He fell in love with her moment. This is Juliet. Juliet was supposed to get married, but it wasn’t what she wanted to do. Her father and mother recommended that she marry Paris. However she wanted to marry a man whom she loves. She thought that the party was dull. Such time, a man appeared before her eyes. She fell in love with him immediately, too. They kissed as they tried to avoid attention. He sneaked into her mansion after the party was finished. They swore their love to each other even though their families were enemies. They carried out their mind. They decided that meet at 10:00 the next day. Romeo came back early and asked Father Laurence to marry them. The next day, Romeo and Juliet married. They were very happy. But it was a transient happiness. Juliet’s cousin killed Romeo’s friend. Frantic Romeo killed Juliet’s cousin, too. Romeo was banished from town. Juliet talked to Father Laurence. Father Laurence gave her a small bottle. This content was medicine that can make everyone think she is dead. It is only good for 24 hours. She pretended to be dead, and would elope with Romeo. How will they be?

♥Impression

I like the pool scene best. This scene is beautiful. Water’s brightness and wetness together is very romantic. I think this scene tells that there is a time of happiness inside tragedy. I think it expresses that love’s naively, turn their world by love. They had brightness by each other could meet before their life. I think that they were happy that can meet one another. (440 words)
