Romeo and Juliet

I think that it is much better to fall in love than to be forced to marry someone. When you fall in love yourself you obviosly get to choose who you marry so you can find someone who you think is interesting and things like that but if you are forced to marry someone then you might end up with someone who is your complete opposite. Also if your forced to love someone you could not even have meet the person before and that would be awful. Also it seems that when you are forced to marry someone it is for the money or the fame, like Lord Capulet tried to make Juliet marry Paris because he was famous and rich. I think that it is one thing to force your child to marry someone, but like in the book i think that it is stupid to expect them to like that they are being forced to get married, and thank your parents for having it set up. Baseball tryouts finally ended adn i was the last person to get cut. It was very close adn im pretty mad about it but i wish the team the best of luck. Also i checked on gradespeed and looked at my six weeks grades and it looks like i got straight A's for the first time in a long time.

I agree with your thoughts on love and Romeo and Juliet, they are similar to mine. I'm sorry to hear that you didn't make the team, you're pretty beast at baseball, congratulations on your grades.

I agree that it is much better to choose who you merry than be forced into. That sucks that you were the last one to get cut.

I agree with what you said, but have you ever thought about how high divorce rates are even in places like the US, where people supposedly "marry for love"? Maybe skilled matchmaking would actually be a better system.
