SHAKESPEAR!!!!????

What comes to your mind when you hear the words, "Now we're going to read Shakespeare!" Do you cringe in fear? Do you giggle with glee? What past experiences have you had with Shakespeare to make you react the way you do?


When I first heard that we were reading Shakespeare I was not excited though not dreading it. Then when I read the topic for this thing I was even more not excited, but then as I was working on writing this paper I decided that it might not be that bad. I have not read any of his books/plays so I should not be the one to judge them....yet.

I have seen a couple plays and movies that Shakespeare wrote, the ones that come to my mind are: The "Taming of the Shrew" and "Romeo and Juliet". I don't think that those were that bad of plays/movies, they did have a little weird plots though. There was one play I went to when I was little and I think that it might have been Shakespeare, but I am not really sure. The reason I liked it was because we got to throw tomatoes at the bad guys. But I didn't understand the plot at all, and I don't remember the name of it.

Some of the plots are really confusing. Yesterday I was talking to my sister about what we had to write and thought it would be a ton of fun. She also said that the books are not confusing to her, so I think that they just take some time getting used too. We will see how this goes. :)
