PS I love talking to all of you about being like I am.
To the poster who mentioned about her grades slipping:
Don't give up! I know it sounds hypocritical, coming from me, but I'm spurred on mainly by the thought that it will be worth it in the ned.
Is anyone else reading Shakespeare?
Because I'm feeling kind of lonely right now, I'll tell you about a situation I had with my librarian:
Me: Can I have a copy of "The Tempest" please?
Librarian (shocked): The Tempest?
*Pause*
Me: Yes. Shakespeare.
Librarian: Oh. Are you doing Shakespeare in school?
Me (laughs nervously): Um. No. I'm reading it. I love Shakespeare.
Librarian: Oh? That's quite...keen, isn't it?
Me (laugh again): Um. Maybe. I guess so.
I think our society is very strange like that, the way someone like me could feel ostracized (spelling?) even among adults. I could just FEEL her eyes burning on my walking sticks, which I've had since my operation. |
Well, To Kill a Mockingbird is a classic, but I havent read anything else by Lee.
The last thing I read was Hamlet, which I loved. It was surprisingly easy to read. Most of Shakespeare is once you get used to the language, and I enjoy his writing. The thespians at my school performed the Taming of the Shrew during the last semester of school, and I loved it. After studying him all through school, I thought I'd be tired of him by now; but the more I learn of his work, the more I love him.
