I need interesting facts for it. We are writing "LOVE LETTERS." It's from one historical couple to another. I chose Romeo and Juliet, and am doing it from Juliet to Romeo.
I'm trying to do something creative like, make the paper look old or burn off the edges and stuff.
And ideas on that too?
Well, since it has to have 5 facts INSIDE the body of the letter, i was thinking something like, I am sitting here on my balcony in (historical place) but the thing is, i barely know anything about Romeo and Juliet just the main plots! I'm not even sure what the historical place was! Help!

Why on earth didn`t You pick something You know. It`s Shakespeare, it`s XVI century, and it`s Verona,Italy. They`re both nobles,so, well educated. But, in those days, people ( that is - female) weren`t to be abrupt about their feelings. It was considered unfeminine. So, no open declarations of love, or liking, just, You know, You got his letter, and You admire the style, but You don`t believe him, if he is true, he must give evidence at the ball (under masks, very popular in Italy). You`ll be dressed like Titania ( that`s the period of Renaissance, they were mad about Antics), he should come like a Dominican priest (Italy, remember?). Please, You will be accompanied by your nana, but You tell him You`ll speak in Greek when it is safe to meet him. (Greek and Latin were the signs of good education,like English is today). And in the letter, You can tell him it`s dangerous to send You music under window, and that, perhaps, he can meet You in the market, You`ll be in Your (sort of a rickshaw, I`m not certain about an English word), it`s made of green silk, You`ll put Your hand out, he can take Your handkerchief,...,and what does he think of Dante`s poems (Italian Renaissance poet...). Hope this helps. Good luck.
