For the little ones!!

First off I love how Mrs. Duke tells us to write and offer guidance and advice to future victims haha thats great. She is basically telling you that this class is impossible.

Dear ALL little ones that get Mrs. Duke, its hard, i would start freaking out right now and try and do something about it. There are a lot of things you need to do in order to get a good great. Some of those things are Read the books, blog, look ahead, vocabulary, homework, and participate.

Participation- this can make or break your grade in this class. Be sure to participate all throughtout the year, if you do then it is just easy points that you will need in the long run. Even if you just talk a little, make sure it is quality and that you are not talking to your friends cause Mrs. Duke sees everything. Dont be like Elliot, Robert Garrett and Ross. They talked all the time in class just not about what we were learning.

Homework- I know Mrs. Duke gives you alot of and that everyone hates it, but make yourself do it, it will help on the test a ton and i will make your grade so much better. Theres alot so work hard and effecient.

Vocabulary- One word, IMPOSSIBLE. It is one of the hardest things in this class. You cant just remember the words and deffinitions, you need to no sysnoyms, antonyms, the part of speech and how it relates to whatever you are doing. Good luck, your going to need it for this.

Look ahead- I no most people just look online and see what they have for homework that night and do that, but you cant do that in this class. You cant do that, there is so much stuff that you need to do, looking ahead will save you alot of time, there might be a project do one day on the assignment page, and you will look at it and be like wtf, if you would have looked ahead you would have known about that and you would have been prepared.

Blog- Blog……like this one, they are very annoying to me and i cant stand them. It takes so long in my mind and I am so happy about this being my last one. Blogs are due every monday, dont wait tell sunday night to do this cause she will take off point, do it in your free period time. Trust me it will help you. Also make sure you are always making comments, if you dont it is going to kill your grades big time. Good luck.

Read the BOOKSSSSSSSSSS- Omg the biggest and stupidest thing you could do is forget to read the book beacuse you are lazy, i know it takes forever, but it will help in the long run of everything. I didnt read that much and my test grade showd it. I think i failed every test in this class because i hate to read. DO IT.

Hahahahaha sucks for yall, this class is hard. Have fun buddy

Im FINISHED with blogging

Dear Simon Russell Beale

Wow, there is not a whole lot to critique, I think you did a wonderful job on this and I wish you could have voiced every charactor, because there was not one other charactor being voiced that was as good as you. The only thing I cant think of it to maybe slow your voice down a touch. I think that will allow people to follow you easier in the book. Another thing I would suggest to you it to get into the acting business, cause you did amazing and I would love to watch you in a couple of movies. Like Angels and Demans, i think you could hve done a lot better in that movie then what Tom Hanks did, he is just to old for the part. Good luck and i enjoyed listening to you.

Dear Kenneth Branagh

I loved the fact that we were able to read and watch some of hamlet in our english class, it really helped me think and imagine what exactly is going on. The fact that we read Rosencrantz and Guildenstern and Hamlet at the same time really killed my thoughs about everthing and I started to get really confused about every. I personally think that you are a great actor, but in my mind there are a couple of things that you could have done to make the Hamlet movie better. I think, from the short part of the film that we watched, that you were a little to dramatic. You always tried to make everything seem all dramatically. I dont really know how to put it but act more like a normal person would then what you did. But other then that little thing, i think you did a great job in the movie.

rosencrantz and guilderstern (95-end)

In this reading ROS changed a lot in my thinking. He went from being a goofy guy to a gay (like really gay) and stupid charactor. On page 100 ROS and GUIL are talking about weather they are on a ship or not, and ROS asks if they should stretch there legs and GUIL replys no and that he doesnt feel like stretching and ROS then says that he will stretch them for GUIL if he would like and guilerstern replys no thanks and then ROS comes up with the great idea of strtching each others legs. GAY.

Also on page 104 GUIL made a statment saying “-you just repeat it in a different order”.  I was thinking to myself and said that that is exactly what Rosencrantz does, he always makes everything stupid by repeating amost exactly what Guilderstern say but just in a slightly different way. MAN that gets me mad because i get confuses when reading whick charator is which.

I dont really like the ending, did Hamlet die? Why would they want to kill Rosencrantz and Guilerstern, when they never did anything wrong that i know of? Im kind of confused and i cant wait to talk about it in english today!

Rosentcrantz and Guilderstern (Pg. 74-95)

Haha this was a funny reading in my mind. I thought the funniest 2 parts were on page 74 and 87. On page 74 ROS and GUIL are talking to each other and GUIL asks what he is doing and ROS says walking then GUIL asks if he was walking on his hands and if he was stark naked, HALIRIOUS!! On page 87 ROS and GUIL talk about splitting up and looking for Lord Hamlet and they decide to split up and go in different direstions, then they think hamlet might be violent so they decide to stick together, then they both say that they are going to come with the other, then ROS say that if they both go then Hamlet could come here so one decided to stay, and finally again they think he might be violent so they stay together there. HAHAHA STUPID

In this reading i really see ROS and GUIL getting stupider and stupider. Why would you ask someone if they were walking on there hands, or if they were stark naked? Was it common to be walking on your hands back then or naked? In my mind I think that they are just tring to be funny, because they are charators that come across stupid but very funny!
