I'm doing a modern version of Romeo and Juliet Act 2 Scene two in my Lit. class. It's not like paraphrasing it but more like summarizing it, cause then it would be too long. but, like i said it's a modern and today-ish theme, so you can change the setting to something more modern but you can't change the meaning and main ideas of the part.
I really need some help please!!
thanks to those who help!

Take a look at "Romeo You Idiot" on playscripts.com...it might help give you some inspiration.
