      @@ellenmarch3095 honestly, i think the school should focus more on creativity and individuality more than being forced to learn about how other people are creative. even if it sounds childish, maybe do small projects involving our own creative writing skills or 'make your own play' type thing that gets creativity flowing instead of worksheets that no one is interested in doing. involving these types of small fun activities help me learn and get to be involved more than sheets of homework that are just all questions that you can just listen to the answer for. because that way, with homework, it doesnt really get you active on the subject, more just bored or aggravated at it.

      ROMEO AND JULIET (RECOMPOSED)
      by Jason Rudge
      THE PROLOGUE
      The CHORUS enters.
      Our scene is set in an enticing city
      Where two rival households swap stinging scars,
      Uglifying the air two teens make pretty
      When true love blows their hearts across the stars,…
      Which rouse a prickly sun imparting heat
      To twisting blades that twist the plot on stage
      For the benefit of worms seeking meat
      From fools who rashly court despair and rage.
      Youth can make fools of all the greatest lovers,
      But sometimes outside forces play a part
      And in this tale a foolish youth discovers
      His love can’t keep old hatreds from his heart-
      Nor halt hearts taking trips to heaven’s gate,
      Which fast becomes the lovers’ tragic fate.
      The CHORUS exits.

    Lies in his bed ,walks up and down with me.
    Puts on his pretty looks,repeats his words,
    Remembers me of all his gracious parts..."
    From King John.
    The man who wrote that felt the loss of his child.
    He can still feel his presence, grief stricken with the loss he expresses it in the way he can do best .
    And down the ages we feel that pain and pray we never have to go through it.
    And through that expressed grief we remember Hamnet and his father .

    I definitely plan to use this in my class. I am teaching a poetry unit prior to reading Romeo and Juliet, one aspect of which focuses on the Shakespearean sonnet. Students read both Sonnet 18 and Sonnet 130, then wrote their own. I think they would love this. It's great because it highlights 2 important things: that Shakespeare is very relevant today and that poetry can delight our imaginations. Not to mention, it adds the element of drama. Love it.

    My rich banker friend quoted Shakespeare all the time along with Cicero and Homer. I did not understand the Latin and Greek parts but he said a classical education was the best training for modern banking, commerce and industry. He died a very rich man but I was a flake and did not listen. Now I realize that the tools of intelligence are language and while schools can teach functions they cannot teach intelligence as the recent failure of the bankers has proven. He was also a great charmer and charmed the panties off many beautiful women though he was short and stout. There is more to it than they taught me when I was a boy but I was not intelligent enough to realize it.

    Sometimes many of us may wonder what people will remember of us when we are gone, and of course one could imagine the same of a country. The British , a small group of rain on islanders, built the largest empire in the history of the world, they were the first people to invent an entirely new economic system known as industrialisation, they and their progeny have to date been the most inventive people in modern times.
    Now readers, before you condemn me for lack of modesty, I once heard an interview on BBC radio 4, the question discussed was what would Britain be remembered for if the country ended, and he replied “our literature” and so it is , the pen is indeed mightier than the sword. Don’t forget Shakespeare , the greatest gift of these islands to the world, and now in your possession, and yours.

    My mother used to say: "That's Greek to me." Didn't know she was quoting Shakespeare!! (Incidentally, my mother was from Atlanta, Georgia.) I wonder if Mom knew she was quoting the great author? 🤔

    "On quoting Shakespeare" should have been correctly and gratefully attributed to Bernard Levin. Too many in the audience- there in person and here online - might incorrectly assume this gentleman wrote that himself - even though he did a great job, don't misunderstand me.
    He also fluffed the sonnet ... but the pressure and drama of a TED experience probably threw him off.
    Good effort.
