Shakespear!

In our 9th grade english class we are learning about Shakespear, but mostly Romeo and Juliet. I love the story of Romeo and Juliet, and have loved learning about it. The way that shakespear writes, and the dialouge he uses in between characters is amazing. Some people hate going to class and learning about this stuff, but I find it very interesting. I almost wish that we could just learn about it all year! I'm not sure why people don't enjoy learning about it, because if you pay attention to the story, it is the opposite of boring. The characters are obviously different than us, but in a lot of ways they are the same. They go through trials and hardships just like we do today, but the way they respond to them is the main difference. Most people living here today wouldn't kill themselves if they couldn't be with their "love" but Romeo and Juliet have so much compassion and love for each other that they would go to those extremes. The way they describe their love and pain really makes you understand how they are feeling, and gives you a glimpse of what it would've been like to live in that time era. I'm not sure what life would've been like if there were two houses, The Capulets, and The Montagues. Shakespear is a brilliant writer who captured the world with his stories, but most of all with Romeo and Juliet.
