Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet-
Hi.
It's been a while, but to all Shakespeare lovers, there is a series called ''The Pelican Shakespeare'' that has all the  wonderful Shakespeare plays. From tragedies, to comedies, to history, and last but not least to entertainment is all on the pages of the books in this series. What's really cool is that it has Shakespeares' original writing in play form, so you can feel his wonderful writing pound in your head as you read these books! For everyone's information I just finished reading Romeo and Juliet for a book project in my school. It took a while (4 days, which is long for me) but it was worth it!!!!!
             Just to make sure you know, William Shakespeare was a European play-write, who now is the most famous play-right in the world. Along with being a play-write, he also made words (such as amazement), and phrases (one being ''Knock, Knock, who's there?''. His most known plays are the tragic ''Romeo and Juliet'', the crazy ''Midsummer Night's Dream'', the spooky ''Hamlet'', and the scary ''Macbeth'' (also known as the ''Scottish Play''That's some important things about William Shakespeare.
              So, like I said, I read ''Romeo an Juliet''. The tragic tale is about to star-crossed lovers that are apart because of there families disliking each other. They try to make things right, but when there is misunderstanding, things start to fall and they both pass. It's a beautiful way of writing, but when I read it, there was water in my eye's.
              If you are interested in this book series, you can find them at a bookstore, or maybe even a library (I doubt it though). I found ''Romeo and Juliet'' (along with others) at the''Bunch of Grapes'' bookstore in Martha's Vineyard (if you want to know the exact address, I'll put it up on my blog for you to see). Other book's in this series include, ''Twelfth Night'', ''As You Like It'', ''Macbeth'', ''A Midsummer Night's Dream'', ''Othello'', and much more. 
I hope you find this interesting.   
Sincerely yours,
 Sita McGuire.

  2. Yes, I agree. Good article! And reading "Elizabethan" English is hard. Even though it took 4 days you did not give up. AWESOME!
    I hope you write about other plays too.
