shakespeare's book



The book,I read is title,Shakespeare’s Insults for Teachers. This book is written by Wayne F. Hill and Cynthia J.Ottchen, full of insults that Shakespeare had asked or used when he was alive. I found this book interesting to read because it talks about different ways or things to act upon when it comes to these situation involving the teachers, students, administrators, and even parents. The insults are about teachers that are boring, weird, tyrannical, and incompetent administrator. It is also insults for students that are lazy, get distracted easily, and even those that always have excuses to do things. I know that few of students who are always coming up with excuses when they don’t want to do certain thing. Lastly, it have insults about parents who are prejudiced or blaming and those that set a poor example for their children or other people.

I think that this book is well organize and really interesting because it give ideas about what happen and could had happen during certain situation. I thought that this book of Shakespeare is a very creative because the words that he choose to use is very weird and weird to pronounce. I sometime have a hard time saying the word that is written in the book of Shakespeare.

There are many quotation in this book that I like. Quote such as, “You had measur’d how long a fool you were upon the ground .” I am not really sure what this quote means, but I think have an idea or clue what it means. I thought that it was a nice quote. This is another quote from the play Romeo and Juliet which said, “ ( They are) the children of an idle brain, Begot of nothing but vain fantasy, which is as thin of substance as the air And more Inconstant then the wind.” I thought that this was kind of a long quote even though I have a shallow understanding of the quote. I think it mean that we are children of the people who are stupid or lazy who show of what they can or want attention like the wind blowing in the sky.

I learned that scholars also means “school of attendees” or at least “on-the-rolls.” I always thought that is meant student who are in school. This book has a lot of quote that I like and dislike at the same time. The one that I dislike is stupid and hard to understand. I think that I would try and remember this quote that I am going to mention in a little bit because I think it is funny. I could imagine or see it really happening to people if they know or understand the quote. Well, the quote is “ if you be mad, be gone: if you have reason, be brief.” this is a short and easy quote to remember and understand.

From my reading and my understanding about Shakespeare is that he write what want he want to and does not care what people care or think of him or his writing. He write in way for him to express his feeling and say how he feel toward thing. He is creative and well known by a lot of people in and around the world. Overall I would say that I like reading his play or book because it contain interesting stuff.
