I believe that writing e-mails is better than writing letters to each other.

Paying for the internet connection does relate to writing letter and e-mails because you brought up the fact that paying for letters is expensive.

I know that back then they did not have computers. I am just using it as an example and I am just trying to say imagine if they did. Also, even though e-mails are reached faster, when you know you are getting mail just waiting for the letter is a great feeling. For example, the awaiting of the letter; you really want to know what will be in it and it's a mystery until you get it. When I get letter in the mail I get very excited just waiting for it because I really want to know what the other person wrote to me.

Natasha:

I believe that e-mails are better than letter writing because they reach the recipient faster. When you send letters to someone, it takes at least one day for the letter to reach the recipient. I predict that most people would want to get their reply quickly. Also, In the time of Romeo and Juliet, they did not have computers and writing letters was one of the only ways to keep in touch with someone.

Avni:

In my opinion, letter writing is more sophisticated and better than e-mails. This is because letter writing is more thoughtful than typing. When people write letters, they show their feelings more.

For example, when Romeo wrote a letter to Juliet it was much more romantic. He did not just write an e-mail and say "Oh, my dear I love you; reply ASAP."
