I want to start out by saying that this video was hilarious! haha and that I don't think that I'll ever be in the top three on the first one to blog ever again! I have watched only one of Shakespeare's plays. That play was Romeo and Juliet. Wow! It has a great story line but I have to warn you now, take an aspirin or tylenol before you even start the movie. Goodness, the way they talk drives me absolutely insane! It's harder than reading the King James version of the Bible! And no, I have never talked to any of my family about Shakespeare.

Unknown said...

The only thing I know about Shakespear is that he wrote "Romeo and Juliet". Now I know that he wrote a lot of other things.

Shakespeare was a good writer and he did amazing work.I'm familiar with romeo and julietbut that is about the olny thing I know.

I am now familiar with these works of William Shakespeare: Othello, Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, King Lear, and Julius Caesar. These are some of his most famous works and are tragedies. I just watched my first movie on Shakespeare’s life. I would like to see one of his plays as long as there are female actors. The blog movie was really funny. It was interesting to find out that Shakespeare is believed to have translated a book of the Bible. I have never talked with any of my family members about reading Shakespeare. Although, I hear it is all you ever read in high school

I'm now familiar with Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Hamlet. I have actully never seen a play by Shakespeare, but after watching this blog, I guess I could say I've watched a clip about his life. No, I've never discussed reading Shakespeare with my parents nor my siblings.

I am familiar with Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and Hamlet. I really haven't watched a movie or a play about Shakespear's life or actually seen his plays. After this video I learned a lot more about his life and all of his plays and sonnets. My family isn't really smart so we haven't even discussed it at my house.

I never really thought anything of Shakespeare, but I never really listened or watched any of them. I don’t like plays; I just think that they are plain and boring. I think that there is no point to them. I have heard of a couple of his plays, but I never cared about them, because I don’t like plays. I think that he was a good writer, I just don’t like watching, or listening to plays. Some of my parents friends have watched a couple of them, and they said that they didn’t really like them.

I am now familiar with Shakespeare being the author of Romeo and Juliet. I saw a blog video on what his life was like and what he did. I’ve never really discussed reading any book with my family, let alone Shakespeare.

Unknown said...

The only titles i am presently familar with are, Romeo and juliet, Othello, and Hamlet. I've never really heard of anything else but those. Yes, i've actually seen romeo and juliet, live. Nope, my mom might know about some of Shakespeares works, but i've never asked. My little brother is 9, so i'm pretty sure he's never even heard of shakespeare's work.

Unknown said...

The only title I’m familiar with is romeio and juilet. I have not ever watched a movie by shackspere. I never watched a movie on shackspere either. No I haven’t discussed shackspere with anyone except the kids at school and in my class.

The one play i am most familiar with is Romeo and Juliet because everyone knows that one. But know i know alot more about him and that he wrote alot more than that. No i have not seen any movies from any of his plays because im really into the romance and love movies. I cant really remember any time me and my family talked about Shakespear but we probably have when i was little or something.

Unknown said...

I am familiar with Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet. No, I have ever watched a movie based upon his life, but I think I have watched some of his plays but I ca not remember which one's. No, I have not really discussed about reading any of Shakespeare.

Unknown said...

I am most fimilar with Romeo and Juliet because you'd have to live under a rock not to know about it. I have'nt actually saw one of his plays before, i've just seen like movies or T.V. shows that are like plays in school and stuf like that. I have never talked about any kind of plays with any of my siblings because im not interested in the whole drama lifestyle.

Kayla said...

There are three titles by William Shakespeare that I am most familiar with, and those titles are Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, and Julius Caesar. I havent seen any movies based on Skakespeare's life but I have seen the Romeo and Juliet movie. I have not discussed reading Skakespeare with my parents. Although I have discussed reading it with my brother. My brother and I talked about some of his writings. The ones that I am most familiar with are normally the ones that we have spoken of before.

Well.... I'm just going to start with saying this movie was so funny. Shakespeare has written alot of great pieces but unfortunately the only one I'm familiar with is Romeo and Juliet. I have watched a movie from shakespeare. It was Romeo and Juliet. The movie was so CONFUSING!!!!! I literally had a headache afterwards. They need to translate the early english language into today's very simple english. I have also watched a movie about his wife. He had a very interesting life, and he is a great writer in all categories including even poems and sonnets. My parents have wanted me to read shakespeare for a long time but I just can't put myself through all the confusion. Once they translate into a new version or something, I really don't want to go near a book by shakespeare.

All I have ever heard about his writing are that they are long and boring, though I don't believe that they would be too hard to read, just a little boring since they were not geared to our society.

I am familiar with Othello, Romeo & Juliet, and King Lear after watching the blog movie. I have not ever watched a movie about Shakespeare or one of his plays or talked about it with anyone. The movie was funny and had information in it. I think it is good for kids after 7th grade to see.

victoria said...

I want to start out by saying that I admire shakespear because his work is the most romatic and beautiful book and play he's everdone.

Steff said...

I am familiar with Othello, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, and Hamlet. Before I have watched a movie on Julius Caesar. It told the story of how he came to power and then was killed by the people who followed him. But I have never watched a movie (besides this one) on Shakespeare's life. It seems pretty interesting. (Or not) But the way the movie we just watched put it, made it seem worthwhile looking up on the internet. (Though I haven't yet.) No, I have not discussed anything about Shakespeare with my parents or siblings. (My siblings don't really seem interested in Shakespeare. XD They don't have much of an attention span for it either.)

My Momma says I saw "Ten Things I Hate About You" but I don't remember it. All my cousin said was she didn't like Hamlet so No, I haven't discussed reading Shakespeare with my siblings or parents.

I personally thought that video was hilarious, and pretty random at that! I don’t know many titles by Shakespeare, all I know by hearts are Romeo And Juliet and Hamlet. No I have never seen any movies based on Shakespeare’s works, life or plays, though I have seen some of his works parodied countless times. The only time that I have discussed anything to do with Shakespeare with my family was when my sister had to memorize 50 lines of Hamlet for school.

Some titles by William Shakespeare are Romeo and Juliet ad Hamlet are the only ones that I know about. No I haven’t ever watched a movie or play based on Shakespeare’s life. His work just hasn’t appealed to me like other things have. No I haven’t read any of Shakespeare’s work; therefore I haven’t talked it over with my siblings and parents. Although while I’m in high school I do believe that we’ll be reading a lot of old English. Such as; Shakespeare, Beowulf and other great works by many artists. This video was one of the funniest videos I’ve ever seen also.

I know very little about Shakespeare. I have never seen one of his plays or read one of his books. I do not remember watching any movies that had anything to do with Shakespeare and if I have, i didn't realize it. I don't talk much of Shakespeare because I know so little about him. However, my mom owns an old book of sonnets by Shakespeare it is extremely old and falling apart but it is very interesting.

Im more familiar with Romeo and Juliet. Its a great play. I dont think I have ever watched any of Shakespeares plays. No I havent went over this with my family they are not much for shakespeare.

Andrew said...

Honestly, I am not very familiar with Shakespeare's plays. Although I am somewhat introduced to Rimeo ad Juliet, even though I do not fully understand the concept, the meaning, nor have I personally gone into depth with any Shakespeare plays. Sadly, I have not read any Shakespear plays, but would like to in the future. I also have not talked with my parents or siblings about shakespear or his work, considering my siblings know absolutly nothing about Shakespear.

Wes said...

I really don’t know much about Shakespeare. I do know that he is an English poet and he wrote plays. I think that the video was pretty good. I liked the music and the way it was done.

He is known all around the world for his famous plays. He also worked as an actor. Shakespeare got married when he was 18 and had 3 children. He lived in London, England where he became very famous.

I have heard of the plays Hamlet, Macbeth, and Romeo and Juliet, but I have never seen a play or movie. My dad had to build a model of the globe theater when he was in high school. I bet I will have to learn more about Shakespeare in high school and college.

I've been familiar with alot befor seeing this but I did see a few I didn't know of. I once watch Much Ado About Nothing, but I wasn't hooked. I don't read alot of book, so it is unlikely that I read any of his work with my family.

I am afraid I have only heard of Romeo and Juliet. I may have heard of the title Hamlet but that is it! I can’t say that I have ever watched a movie based upon Shakespeare’s life or one of his plays. I have seen some television shows that have a line or two that is suppose to be in the play. I actually have talked to my brother about Romeo and Juliet. He had to read it or watch it or something like that. He told me basically what it was about.

Romeo and Juilet. Yes, i'v only seen a romeo and juilet movie but it was a newer version!No, i have actually never took the time out to read the book or dicusse it with my nieces or nephews or siblings. Based on the movie i think shakespeare did a wounderful job with the story.

Romeo and Juliet is perosonally the only poem i know by shakespeare. I have never watched a movie nor seen a play by shakespeare's life.Me and my parents discuss a little bit but not a lot. We mostly discuss Romeo and Juliet but hats about it.
