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.

It is important to have this labeled as a "international humanitarian mission". This is because they don't want a US-led offensive in another muslim country. The Obama administration is eager to transfer the military command to NATO to portray the six-day-old operation as the international humanitarian mission.

Article, once again

I think the United Nations shouldn't supply the rebels with the weaponry they are asking for and just keep the no-fly zone. I think this because they don't deserve them. They are going against what is right so they shouldn't give them any weaponry. Maybe if they didn't do that stuff, they should.
