  1. Maybe the prince could separate the two families until they finally apologize and then they could all be happy again and nobody fights anymore

  2. My people why are you fighting , Verona is supposed to be a happy and welcome place. My new law is that if anyone fights again then you shall be banished from this city and you are not welcome here again, because violence isn't the answer.

  3. I could ban every weapon in the street. To make sure they never get any swords. If they don't stop this i would give them this last warning.I can't even walk on the streets without seeing these gangstars.If they keep up this fight on verona is going to be sheded with blood.The montagues need to stop winning up the capulets with those silly tshirts before the capulets lose there temper this feud has gone on to long.

  4. I think he can ensure the city remains peaceful by taking weapons like swords with themselves.The rules we need to put in the place are the following:
    No carrying weapons around the city
    Weapons shall be banned forever
    No biting thumbs in the street
    No saying bad words and being rude to people.

    I'm upset because everyone's carrying weapons and they are ruining our city,I demand this to not happen again,we need to make the city a better place.



    I didn't do the CONSEQUENCES one because I don't know what CONSEQUENCES mean

    1. Look up the word consequence, give me a definition, then tell me a consequence for thumb biting in role as Prince Escalus.

      Delete
    2. People Thumb Biting shall be punished

      Delete
    3. You have not answered my question Deborah!

      Delete
    4. Consequence means a result for example if you study hard you will pass your exams.
      Citizens of Verona if you bite your thumb at another person, you will be thrown in the stocks. People will then throw rotten fruit and vegetables, even rotten eggs!

  5. My people why are you fighting, violence is not the answer and it will never be the answer, if you do this fighting nobody in Verona will feel love in the streets. Verona is supposed to be a warm and welcome City and if you fight, the hatred will grow inside of you. Because of some gangs around the streets they make children and families feel unwelcome and they fear that something could happen to them.My new law is that if anyone call anyone a hateful name like footlicker or flappedmouth parrot then they shall be thrown into the pillory and stocks. I hate to see young children fear the bad. Verona use to be filled with love in the air but now its negative and cruelty that people have grown into, no one should feel hatred in Verona ever. If anyone agrees with me then please report to me and if you witness any citizens fighting then report to me please, don't let anyone feel fear.

      Anybody who brake these rules will be punished by being thrown in the stocks and rotten fruits and vegies will be thrown at you. The crime for this would be murder. They would be punished if murder, witch craft, street sleeping and street fighting, no no no this will not be acepted!

  10. I'm prince Escalus in my city there should be no violence because the citizens shouldn't be threatened or fell scared. It's unexceptionable in our rights for innocent people walking around and fell threatened, by swords. The swords are getting band because when the sword is around innocent people and children can get hurt, so the hospitals are going to be packed. Though's insult like " A most notable coward, an infinite and endless liar, an hourly promise breaker, the owner of no one good quality.” Like that it is revolting i cant take it any more. The big show of family crests are showing way to much, If i ever see you again In a group more then 3 its the stoke you go. This is the last and finale warning to much blood has been wasted in that horrible fude If you don't end it there is going to be very bad consequences.

    1. What would the consequences be Jayanna? Remember the different types of punishment in Tudor times that you have learnt about. Would these consequences change according to the crime?

    2. if they stole or never payed for there food or forgot to pay then the would ether, get put in the Stoke or have there ankels tied up. Gossiping was also a crime, if you gossiped you would get the brank, if you talk your toung gets chopped of. If you would make poisons or you was left handed you was altamaticly called a witch and would get burned or boiled alive. Murder would get head chopped of and banished.

  11. I, Prince Escalus, are extremely worried about the affairs in my town. Innocent civilians are scared to go out at night! This knavish behavior must be stopped! I shall ban people in groups of more than three people. They are scaring us. Any person wearing a Capulet or Montague coat of arms shall be flogged. It will antagonize one or the other. No weapons within 100 meters of Verona. That person will also be flogged since there will be enough harmed people to take a hospital to breaking point! The Capulets and Montagues shall have to negotiate a truce. This feud shall stop now or they don't stay. One family will have to move away. You have been warned.

  12. i think that he should stop the fight and stop using swords and band it because people can get hurt when they are fighting each other. this is a disgrace we can,t have this behevier of insalts we need to try and not argure uther wise you will be punished. this city needs to heal because people are angry of your insalts. you need to at least ingore each other so you wouldn't be so agressive to each other because what i have seen is a discus the's people are really angry at you of the insalts you make this has to stop because it is getting to far i need to see no argurements because i can't believe thattwo familys can be so discustin when they argure and fight you need to stop this

    1. So Destin, keeping in role as the Prince, explain how you will stop this. What rules will you put in place? What consequences will there be for those who break the rules?

    2. The consequences will be either that person is banished, or they are to be sent to a colonized area called New south wales prison.Anyone who object's there will be an execution in waiting.Including that patronizing brat,Romeo. I hope I've made that decision clear enough.

  14. Everyone STOP THE FIGHT! If you wont stop there will be a big warning. The warning is if you wont stop you will have big consequences! If you do stop your life will be peaceful. Also the consequence is if you say something TERRIBLE to someone or BITE YOUR THUMB at some one you will be put in STOCKS! Or if I catch you pull out your sword you will LOSE all your money and be BANNED from this country. DO YOU UNDERSTAND! I don't wont to see blood in the streets again.

  15. I need to ban insults from the city centre, because it is winding people up. It is horrible to hear people call each other a measly pignut when children are around. Also, there is blood split on the street we also need to ban swords it is to much violence.If we see people with swords we will throw them in the stocks. I need to warn people because if people dont stop killing people they will be wiped with painful leather on there back they arms will be chopped of by a sharp knife and they will be burnt or boiled alive. I this feud has gone on for to long so it will end now.

    why are these people upset if they are upset they dont need to take dangerous sharp swords to kill each other one of the family could of come tell me what is wrong and i will deal with it. I demand them to stop now or they will be thrown in the stocks

  16. I will ban insults like calling someone a footlicker because it causes trouble. Also i will ban swords to stop all the blood being split. Our city must be safe.

  17. i will band all the swords from people because when they kill people all the blood come out of them also little kids see it then they find it disgusting sometime they will do it when the are big and it will sometimes be very hard to stop them so they have to go to the stocks all the day and they through rotten fruit and veg at you all the day.What he has to do is give them a warning so they do not do it again. if they bite there thumb at someone the person will fell threaten by what they did.

    ReplyDelete
  18. They need to make more laws like banning insults the punishment will be putting them in the stocks and rotten food will be thrown at you. I will limit how many people can be together in the square. Only two people can be together at a time so no gangs of ruffians will be allowed. The hospitals will be packed to the brim and there will blood everywhere if we don't.

This is because they are so dangerous and the hospitals will be very full,streets of blood everywere,you also need to stop because there might be some children around ...Maybe I will kill you for murdering a child and if you murder a adult you will go in the stocks for two weeks. Next rule no using foul language like you good king of cats or pignut.

  21. I must confess that this feud has been spreading around the world. We must stop it now. It is just to much I cant stand it not at all. I have been seeing swords these past month. If we don't stop this there is going to be blood every were I bet its going to flood. there are going to be consequences of it so we better confiscate all the swords before there going to be trouble. If I see any laid out body I think I am going to faint. If you dare wine up somebody with your crest you would never play with your gangsters again then you'll learn never to do it again.

    2. The cosequences will be that they will be thrown into the stocks because they have killed people and they need to face there time for what they have done. If they take a dagger to the streets of Verona they will be slapped by the prince's servant and after that if they carry on they will beheaded. If they steel something then they would put a s for steeler.

    2. I will make a sign and hang it up so if anybody disobeys me it will be a serious punishment so now they should know right from wrong. For example, if you carry a knife or gun after 7 o'clock, you will be apprehended. Other punishments will be given, like flogging or the stocks. Drinking after 6:30 pm is illegal. If you get caught you will be forced to wear The Drunkard's Cloak.

  29. the 1 rule is if you do something wrong you get punished.2 you can't fight around or two guards will come and take you to a lonely place.3 you can't have a big gang that is over 5 we will separate you and your friends so you will turn out to have no more friends.4 you can't eat to much food or if you do the punishment would be the next party we have you will be the one buying the food and you would not be aloud to eat something what you bought.5 you can't invite friends that was to late and they wasn't even there yet because if you do you will never get to come again.6 you can't shout at people and be annoying to people because then we will do the same what they did to the pursone it is just not right.

    2. No one is to fight and weapons like a katana or swords and no brass knuckles in the square and no threats and no biting your thumb. You are not allowed more then 4 Capulets or Montagues in a group or face jail for 18 years. The punishments are: Your head chopped off, drown, and a hanging from the throat.

  36. I'm afraid the city of Verona is no longer safe,the Montagues and Capulets are making the streets scary to live in.This family feud between the Montagues and the Capulets has gone for too long that Verona is not safe to others anymore.This has got to stop! If thither's more fighting on the streets of Verona thy life shall pay the forfit of the consequences of thou has caused. The consequences will involve thou: being sent to prison,thou being executed,thou being killed,thou being forced to move,thou being slapped to death,thou being dragged across the floor with a horse and thou being sent to live in a different country.Otherwise thou'll be killed by your own family members.

  37. I an so devastated because every ordinary citizen in this city is afraid to leave there house or even step on ground !therefore consequences will be applied. Because of murder and stealing I, Prince Esculus, will be changing the rules from this day forth. Whoever murders a person will get a fine of £200 and the money will be given to the man/woman's husband/wife. We would also add more police to stop life of crime and if you are caught by police you will go in jail for a year. Thief's I've gave you a warning and I hope you use it wisely.
