Abu, I like the way you have given the text a more urban feel. The speech of the characters has been adapted, but lots of the original meaning is still intact. Well done.
Targets:
1) You scene needs to be at least 500 words to be eligible for the badges on offer here. The feedback below will help you to achieve this.
2) You should look at the detail of the original scene and develop your own scene accordingly. Shakespeare gives lots of detail within the language of the characters to show their feelings towards one and other. For example, what are the characteristics of the three parts of the kingdom that are on offer?
3) Even though you are giving the characters slang language, you still need to spell it correctly or use apostrophes to show the missing letters (the accurate term for this is apostrophes of admission).
4) Can you make the characters’ names bold?
5) Every line should end with a full stop.
6) You have used some of Shakespeare’s original language and it jars with your own. Could you adapt this language so that the transition is less obvious?
