Advice letter to Juliet

Dear Juliet,


I know its hard for you, dealing with the death of your cousin and having known your true love killed him. My advice to you is to not feel wrong towards Romeo. Romeo killed Tybalt because he killed his best friend Mercutio, for no good reason. Also if Romeo hadn't killed Tybalt, Tybalt would have tried to kill Romeo and you would then feel wrong towards Tybalt. The best thing you could do right now is to not let it get to you. Try to take your mind off the fact that Romeo was the cause of your cousins death. It will make you feel worse of him but you have to understand that it was done for a reason. Stay strong and continue loving Romeo and forgive him for his crime. That will be the only way you could move on in your relationship. Understand that things are done for a reason and move on. You can't change the past so either way, your cousin is still dead. Romeo did not kill your cousin to make you upset because he loves you. Learn to forgive the people you love.

The theme of the book Maus by Art Spiegelman is inequality. Throughout the whole book when Vladek is telling Art his story during the Holocaust, I noticed the Jewish people and the Germans were not treated equally.

The Jewish people had a much harder life than the Germans. They had to work, were starved, tortured, and barely had clothes that fit. During the winter, if a Jewish person had shoes that were too small or too big, he or she would have to go out in the snow barefoot. Usually, when a Jewish person asked for better clothing, they would get beat. In the book, the Germans were treated like the kings and queens and the Jewish were treated like slaves. Germans were provided with fit and clean clothing, had plenty of food, and were treated as a higher class. They were more taken care of, which was not fair to the Jewish people. Most Jewish people would rather die than to live during the Holocaust at that time.

In conclusion, the book Maus taught many readers about inequality in the 1930's-1940's. Nowadays most people are treated the same, even though there are still some that aren't. Back then it was much more worse and most of the time people were killed for no reason or just little things. This book shows you how much the world has changed.

The Babysitter

          The Babysitter by "tiawrites" on Wattpad, is about how loving someone will not necessarily always be shown in a clear way. The book is about a girl named Isabelle who gets a new job as a babysitter. The baby she is babysitting has an older brother named Jack, and Jack and Isabelle aren't really the best of friends. They have a very bad relationship with each other, but Jack soon starts to show signs of something else towards Isabelle... Maybe love?

          When Isabelle starts dating Sam, one of Jack's best friends, Jack starts being even more rude to Isabelle than before and starts acting different. Sometimes being mean to someone can be a sign of affection towards that person. I think Jack is only acting that way because he likes Isabelle and is jealous but is just too hesitant to admit it.

          Jack and Isabelle are constantly arguing with each other and saying horrible things, until Jack tells Isabelle the truth about Sam and they start to become closer. Now that Isabelle knows the truth about Sam, about how he is a player that messes with girls feelings, Isabelle broke up with him and is starting to trust Jack more.

          Jack changes for Isabelle just so she won't get her heart broken by Sam. This shows he actually cared for Isabelle and never wanted her to get hurt. Deep down he loves her but was just too mad at the fact that she was dating his best friend.

          A lot of people in the outside world can relate to this book because not everyone truly understands how people feel towards them and might think the opposite.
