In English class, we are learning about Shakespeare and his plays. We are going on a field trip this Friday to watch one of his plays, called "All's Well that End's Well".
Today, we watched half a movie about Shakespeare's life, entitled, "Shakespeare in Love". Some of it may not be true. It was about how a women named Violet, who loved the theatre, fell in love with Shakespeare and he fell in love with her. That inspired him to write a play on a love story. Queen Elizabeth didn't think that love could be shown in a theatre, and that it was all about comedy and making people laugh, so he wants to prove that he can.
That movie had many sexual content in it, that made it very uncomfortable for me to watch, but I guess it was okay. We also had to fill in some blanks on a work sheet while we watched. I didn't fill in every single one, since I found it hard to understand all of what the people were saying, because they talked in an old fashioned way, and they had sort of an accent that you would here from people from England. I can't wait until the field trip!
