Ethan Catalan 810 Letter to Romeo
Dear Romeo
I have heard about all of your conflicts lately, I have heard that you were deeply saddened after witnessing Mercutio's death. Although, your actions after his death were caused by your emotions which ended with a lot of violence. You let your anger out on Tybalt and that led to his death. I know you didn't want to fight him at first because because he is the cousin of your wife, Juliet. She loved Tybalt dearly and you broke her heart, she must really love you if she is still married to her cousins murderer. Now for killing Tybalt you have been vanished for Tybalt. At least now I hope you know how to control your emotions and I hope they wont control you in the future. You will eventually be forgotten for your crime and get back together with Juliet.

My Reading Life
My name is Ethan C and I like reading but I'm not the biggest fan of it. I am a very picky reader. The genres I like to read are sports and young literature. Some genres I often get lost in is Sci-Fi and Fantasy. The places I like to read are in my room sitting next to my desk or my big dinner table. Some of my favorite books are The Million Dollar Throw by Mike Lupica, Finding Alaska by John Green, No Chill [ i forgot the author], and books similar to them. Like I said before sports and young literature are the books that I read this summer, I really enjoyed them. All summer I was also reading lots of articles about sports. I am a die hard Mets and Giants fan!
Summer Reading.
