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?
I don't really have anything against Shakespeare and I have not read alot of his writing. I know he writes plays and books but not much more. I know he writes stuff like Romeo and Juliet but I don't know if he actually wrote that himself. I also know people who have read it and they all say that it is the most boring thing that they have ever read in their whole life. I have read some of Romeo and Juliet and it was okay, not boring but not the kind of book I would normally read. So I will have to go with, please don't make us read Shakespeare! It is hard to understand and really boring! I can't keep my attention on the book long enough to even get what it is about! Don't make me try to read that stuff! But I honestly bet that the stories and plays are good, just if we read like a simplified version, I think all of us would like it more.
