Dear Capulet and Montague Families,

     The behavior of your children was truly atrocious, the way they acted in the plaza.  It certainly goes against the guidelines of which we try to teach our impressionable children. Their reckless behavior is what got two young men killed. They used violence to solve a conflict that in no way called for it, which something that should had been taught to the hooligans. It is something that a family teaches at a young age that obviously was skipped when it came to these boys.

      There are many more things these boys did that were just rude. One of the young men was actually bathing in the fountain; he was the first boy to die. It showed no manners what so ever, things that are or should be taught in the home and showed everywhere else.  And even as the boy was dying his friends just stood there thinking he was joking. That showed no understanding nor did it show compassion, both of which should be known.

      The moral of the boys was appalling. How could when one that just fatally wounded another just run away? All of this just not to get caught. Then in a fit of rage, one of the young men kills the boy that just killed his friend. It is taught, or it should, be that violence is never the answer and revenge leads to nothing but an empty satisfaction.  None of the actions that the boys showed were of that of a gentleman, something that all young men are raised to be. Only one boy showed the attitude of a gentleman when he tried to break up the fight. At lest there is one boy in your family that shows true manners.

 

Sincerely,

Tessa Ke-Ana Rogers
