Green Eggs & Hamlet

A) How do you know Hamlet?
- My sister who previously took AP Literature and Composition read Hamlet. They told me a lot about the story line and how Disney's The Lion King is related to Shakespeare's Hamlet. I don't know much about the story itself, all I know is that a character is named Hamlet and there's a ghost in the story, too.
B) What do you know about Shakespeare?
- Shakespeare was a play writer, he wrote many plays such as Romeo and Juliet, Midnight Summer Dreams, and more.  Shakespeare was famous during his time, many riches and high class citizens would go to see his plays. Many poor and middle class as well. He targeted all the social classes so that everyone can enjoy his plays. Also, his plays are mostly tragic with a sense of humor in each play.
C) Why do so many students involuntarily frown when they hear the name "Shakespeare"?
- I think many students frown when they hear the name "Shakespeare," because he wrote difficult plays to understand. Freshman year, when we read Romeo and Juliet, our teacher had to explain every part that had humor in it because it was just so hard to understand what Shakespeare was going for in his play. Relating back to the humorous jokes from long ago is difficult when we are all brought up in modern times.
D) What can we do to make studying play an amazing experience we'll never forget?
- Of course, watching other students and bringing out everyone's sense of humor can make an experience that we will never forget. Except for those people who can't bring the point across, will make is difficult or unable to understand what's going on. Reading as a class and discussing will make it the most effective, but no an amazing experience.
