Yes I have definitely heard about Shakespeare. who hasn't? Though I have heard about him I haven't seen any movies or plays about his works. The only plays I've been to are from Fairmont state. Mt favorite author is either Robert Jordan or Eoin Colfer. A fact about Shakespeare that almost no one knows about is that Shakespear has no descendants; therefore, there's no way to be related to him.
I think that most people have heard of Shakespeare, or have seen a movie or play based by him. I haven't been to a Shakespeare play, but I would love to! My favorite author is Jeanne DuPrau. She wrote my favorite series of books, "The City of Ember". A fact about Shakespeare is that many of Shakespeare's plays are based on others' earlier plays, histories, and poems. This was common practice at the time he was alive.

I have definitely heard of shakespeare but I've never read or seen anything that has to do with him. I'm not sure if he wrote romeo and juliet though lol. My favorite author james patterson. A fact that I found on google was that he had no relatives
I have heard Shakespeare many times. I have seen MacBeth in movie form. I was younger at the time, so my dad wouldn't let me see all of it. I went to a Broadway play when I was nine years old in New York. My favorite author is John Green, who wrote my favorite book, "The Fault in Our Stars". Shakespeare died at the age of 52.

Everyone shoulld know of Shakespeare. Either through his play or the movies. I have never seen one of his plays, but I have seen one of his movies. My favorite author is Sara Shepard. Sara Shepard wrote my favorite book series, "Pretty Little Liars". There is also a televison show based off her books, which I love the show as well! One fact about Shakespeare is he was born in United Kingdom, and he died in United Kingdom as well. He died on April 23,1616.

I have heard of Shakespeare and have seen some movies based on his work. I have not seen a play but wpuld like to sometime. A fact bout him is that he has no children or family .
I have heard of Shakespeare and I think most people have. Even thoughI have heard of him I have never been to a movie or play based on his work but I think it would be fun to. I have been to a play before but it was when I was little, I would like to go to another one sometime. My favorite author is probably Margaret Peterson Haddix because all of her books are full of suspense. An interesting fact about Shakespeare is that he wore a gold hoop earring in his left ear.

I have heard of Shakespeare, and there was a video that I saw back in 5th grade. which was a long time ago and I hardly remember anything about that. There are some plays that I have been too because my cousins are a part of it. My favorite author is either James Patterson or Suzzane Collins. But, on Google I saw that Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway when he was 18. She was 26 and she was pregnant when they married. Their first child was born six months after the wedding.

Yes, I have heard of Shakespeare. I think it would be pretty hard to find someone who hasn't heard of him. I haven't seen anything by him, but it does seem like it would be interesting. I haven't been to a play before, but I've wanted to. My favorite author would be Neal Shusterman, though I love many others as well. Shakespeare died on April 23, 1616 at the age of 52.
~Tressa Floyd~ 6/7th
I have heard of the author, Shakespeare. Throughout the years I have learned a lot about him and what he stands for. In my opinion, a lot of people have heard of who he is, but not many understand what he is about. His talent for writing is emotional and inspiring, and often tells a great story. Sometimes when reading his work, people, may find it hard to get the meaning out of his words. I have heard but no seen the play and story line of Romeo and Juliet. This is a pretty common play and is featured in a lot of tv series consisting students taking part in plays. Personally I have not had much experience on this topic but I find it very interesting to learn about.
Stephanie Allen, period:4/5
Throughout the entirety of my life, I have heard of Shakespeare on multiple occasions. To my understanding,no, I have never seen a play or movie based about Shakespeare. On the other hand, I have been to a play, which was, "The Wizard of Oz". Personally, my favorite autor is Gordon Korman who has written many if my absolute favorite books! An interesting fact I could add would be that all if Shakespeare's plays and poems were either; comedies, histories, or tragedies. In conclusion, I really don't know very much about Shakespeare other than that he was a fantabulous writer!

Isaac Swiger/4-20-14/1-2
I believe that most people have heard of Shakespeare, so I definitely have and I hope many others have. I have never seen a play based off one of his works, at least that I know of. I have seen "The Lion King" many times so I have seen a movie based on one of his works, which in this case I believe is "Hamlet". I have been to a few plays but it was a long time ago so I barely remember them. I would have to say that my favorite author is either Suzanne Collins of "the Hunger Games" series or Neal Shusterman of the "Unwind" series. A very unusual fact about Shakespeare is that he was buried in the Holy Trinity Church. The creepy part is that Mr. Shakespeare put a curse on anyone who dared to move his buried remains from this resting place, and for now his remains have been untouched out of fear of his curse.

I don't really know Shakespeare only thing I do know is that he is a real famous poet.William Shakespeare was born on April. At eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway, a woman seven or eight years his senior. Only know a few things I know about him not to much. I have heard he has some real good poems but ones but I don't know any off the top of my head. My mother just like told me a little but about him. I would say he is before my time. Cause I usually hear about people but him I really haven't heard to much about.
I have heard of Shakespeare before. He wrote the play Romeo and Juliet. I have seen three play's, Peter Pan which I forget where or when I saw it. In 2009 when we went to Myrtle Beach, I saw a play about the Civil War. Then just last year on my Y-Teens trip we saw a Broadway play in Pennsylvania. My two favorite authors are Susan Collins who wrote the Hunger Games trilogy, and Sara Shepherds who wrote Pretty Little Liars.

Yes I have heard about him. I heard about his crazy love story as well. But i have not ever seen any of his work. Nor have i ever been in a play although i have seen plays. There are many true statements about shakespeare, but one that sticks out to me is the fact that he killed him self because he thought a girl he only knew for two days was dead. That was pretty dumb, she was only a thought at the time. I wouldnt have done the same!
