English Class.........Shakespeare

About a month ago in English class, we began reading Shakespeares greatest love story Romeo and Juliet. We had some interesting conversations before we read it.....

A kid in our class asks: "How are we going to read it? Are you going to asign us parts and we can read it aloud. That's what we did in middle school!"

To this she replies, "OH NO! I'm not going to make you read it! That would be painful, for both me and you. Oh no! I wouldn't do that!"

Humph!

Anyway, after we listened to a recording of the play, we watched the 1962 version. It stared Lenard Whiting and Olivia Hussy as Romeo and Juliet. It was a very good movie, for being so old. (That's for you Greentuna!!).
