Hamlet Post 2

Well Im gona make this post about act 2 as much as possible. Lets see how much I can get down about this book. This part of the story seems to be about love. This is something that caught my eye because I like love because love = girls and I like them. Even though im not a fan of Shakesphere at all it does amaze me that he divides this play up into different parts and each part feels like it has a different emotion. To me it seems like Mr. Shakesphere does this a lot with his plays.

Hamlet Post 1

For me when it comes to reading like this I get very frusterated because it simply doesnt make sense to me at all. Like really who understands this stuff, the only people that do are people who are very gifted such as someone like Mr. Fiorini. Without spending class time on the text I would understand nothing about Hamlet. Even the movie doesnt help that much because its so drery and boring. My first step in organizing my information the Hamlet as I started reading it was to get the characters in order and seeing who is who. Once again after I did the this spending time on talking about the text in school helped explain whose who even better to what I understood. I just wish I could understand why Shakesphere has to be so difficult. Just a write a story in which everyone can understand it.

Hamlet

Since Ive started to read Hamlet I havent really understood much from the first two scenes. If it wasnt for what we done this week in class I wouldnt have any clue what was going on in the play. What we did this week in class is exactly what Id like to do with things I dot uderstand. Take Hamlet for example. We all got into gorups an took excerpts from the play and had to translate them into what todays people could understand and coprehend. Then not only did we translate the words we acted out to the class what I thought was more descreptive then ever because I got to see how the characters act in the play. I like this because I really couldnt get a feel for what kind of emotion they show as they read their parts in the play. The reasoning why I think im not too good at reading Hamlet is simply because when I dont understand a line or two I go to translate it and by the time I figure out what it really means I lose my whole thought about what was going on previously in the play. I dont see myself reading shasphere for fun in the future.
