from The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Act 2

Persuasive writing tries to influence readers to accept an idea, adopt a position, or take a particular action. Write a letter to Romeo and Juliet advising them on how to proceed with their relationship. Your letter should define romantic love and develop an argument for Romeo and Juliet to take their time and wait for marriage or to trust that they have found true love and marry immediately. Support your argument with examples from the text and conclude by suggesting the actions that Romeo and Juliet should take.
