Warm Weather Activity

My favorite warm weather activity is going to the beach. I started doing this when I was really little. This is my favorite because I love laying in the sand. I also like meeting new people there and going in the water/jumping over the waves. In the ocean, I like to go way out and ride over the waves with my friends.

Renaissance

The Renaissance influenced Shakespeare's work. One of the ways was that he updated the simplistic writing style of the pre-renaissance. Another way was that Shakespeare was able to explore the humanity of every character regardless of their social position. Lastly, he was able to bring into play his knowledge of Greek and Roman classics when writing his plays. Those are some ways the renaissance affected Shakespeare's writing.

Important Tips

In this article, there are some important tips. When reading Shakespeare's plays, locate the subject, verb, and the object of the sentence in order to understand it. The object of the sentence is usually placed at the beginning in front of the verb and subject. Also, Shakespeare often leaves out letter, words, and syllables. Shakespeare also had about 30,000 words in his vocabulary. Those are some of the important tips in this article.

Vacation

Over vacation I am going to Salem, Massachusetts for a few days with my family. We are going to go to the witch museums and the House of Gables and the cemetery and stuff that. We are also going to go shopping and walk around and such. I think it's going to be really cool to learn about all the witches and stuff. It should be fun. (:

Shakespeare's writing style is called iambic pentameter. That is when you write in verse and each line has 10 syllables. Also, the syllables are are five pairs of alternating unstressed and stressed syllables. They have a certain rhythm which is ba-BUM / ba-BUM / ba-BUM / ba-BUM / ba-BUM. Each beat of the verse, is a set of syllables called an iambus. I learned that William Shakespeare also wrote sonnets and love poems to express his love into words. Also, that when you try to read his work, it would be difficult since they were written over 400 years ago and the words he used have evolved since then.

I think the real William Shakespeare did and did not write the plays. What I mean is that Christopher Marlowe's death was a supposed fake and he changed his name and such. William Shakespeare was the same age as Marlowe when he "died". They were also both play writers. I think they are the same person.
