Yes, I have heard of William Shakespeare many times. I have never seen a movie or a play based upon a work of William Shakespeare, but I have heard about the movie that was based on him, 10 Things I Hate About You. Yes I have been to a lot of play most of them were at the college. My favorite author is Mike Lupica. He makes reading his books very easy. A fact about William Shakespeare is that even though he is one of literature’s greatest figures never attended a university. I enjoyed watching this blog I thought it was hilarious.

Yes, I have heard of Shakespeare. I have not seen a play or movie based upon any of his work though, I don't think. I went a Broadway play once in New York, we saw Mamma Mia. MY favorite author is Stephenie Meyer, I think all of her books are amazing! Shakespeare died on his fifty-second birthday.

Okay, first of all, name ONE person who HASN'T heard of Shakespeare. Go ahead. Try. I have seen like EVERY version of Romeo and Juliet. I have been to plays, of course. I don't have a favorite author. I did my research paper on him, so let's see... His exact date of birth is UNKNOWN! The only reason April 23rd was chosen is because he DIED on April 23rd. That's it! Have a nice day!

I have never seen a professional play based on his work but I have seen a movie based on Hamlet....I think. My favorite author is Lynn Gardener. I am actually reading a book by her right now.

Yes, of course I have heard of him. According to the video he is the GREATEST WRITER EVER! haha. I have seen a more modern version of romeo and juilet as a movie, but I have never been to a play. My favorite author of the moment is probably Nicholas Sparks. There is just something about his books that makes the exact words and ending in my head for days. One fact I found out about William Sakespeare is that on average he wrote 1.5 plays each year.

Before I begin this week’s blog, I would like to say that this is my favorite video so far. I simply adore the person saying, “We’re all dead!” J

Yes, I’ve heard of Shakespeare. I think I heard of him for the first time when I was in kindergarten! I thought the frilly things he wore around his neck were hilarious. Obviously, everything was hilarious back then.

I have seen several works based upon his masterpieces. As a matter of fact, “Love Story”, a great song, was based up on “Romeo and Juliet.” A lot of television shows show high school students reciting lines from the same play, too.

I have been to several plays in my life. I can’t remember all of them but the one that I remember the most was seeing “Mamma Mia!” on Broadway. It was a rather spectacular performance, I might add.

Here are a few facts about Shakespeare:
Shakespeare's family was all illiterate!

Shakespeare never published any of his plays.

No one knows the actual birthday of Shakespeare.

Many eminent authors and politicians do not believe that Shakespeare wrote his plays...

No portraits of Shakespeare were painted when he was alive.

A relative of Shakespeare on his mother’s side, William Arden, was arrested for plotting
against Queen Elizabeth I. He was imprisoned in the tower of London and executed.

Suicide was a common theme with Shakespeare. It occurs 13 times in various plays, including Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar and Othello.

Macbeth is also believed to be a cursed play for actors. Quoting Macbeth in a theater outside of an actual performance is said to bring misfortune to the actor, the production and the theater.

If you type “William Shakespeare” on Google, it says that there is about 2,950,00 results.


Thank you for reading my blog!

Lots of Love!

I have been to the plays Charlie and the Chocolate factory, The Telltale Heart, The Necklace, The Monkey's Paw, etc. I don't know whether they are supposed to be in quotations or not. Probably. I don't have a favorite author but I have many favorite authors.

This video looks very scary I would not like to be there it would scare me to death I wouldn’t know what to do. I probably wouldn’t even try going to it just because of the way it sounds and bulls are to wild I don’t see why anyone would ever want to go to anything like that again. And if I did try going to a bull run then I would probably stay were the people don't get ran over by them.
