Choose one of the main characters from the play Romeo and Juliet (Nurse, Romeo, Juliet, Mercutio, or Tybalt), and think about how you would have approached his/her situation. What would you do differently? What would you do just as the character did? Write a modern-day scene based on that character and story. Will this character's differences define him/her? Or, will he/she expand beyond those differences? You decide. It's your story. This is a creative writing practice. Have some fun with it!

If I were ever in Romeo's situation with Juliet, with the mentality of this century that we currently live in, I would have handled the situation somewhat different. Firstly, I would have never made the mistake to kill Juliet's cousin. For that action caused even more drama than needed. Juliet and Romeo would have been able to love in secret much easier without the death of her cousin.
