Insult Me Again!

               So about once every two moths I go on a MLIA binge and read it for a few hours over a few day span. This week I happens to be the week. While on this morning I found the following references to Shakespeare:

Help!!!!!!

I am taking a poll for a project I have started working on. I want to know if you had a choice and could see or hear a performance of any Shakespeare play which one would it be?

Slipped My Mind

                So last week I was a ditz more so than I have been any other time this semester! Bobby Singer would have called me an idgit (idiot). I was forgetting things left and right and one things I forgot has to do with a post. Specifically the post about Shakespeare's life. Most of you probably know this already but just in case here it is.

               People were very superstitious during Shakespeare's time. They also had a problem with over population of grave yard plots. One thing they did to solve this problem was employ bone (grave) diggers . There job was to dig up old grave so that new bodies could be buried (Ophelia's grave) and then burn the bones. This is said to be where the term bonfire came from, originally they were known as bone fires.

"Double, Double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble."

Let me preface this by saying I have no idea why some of this is blocked off in white and every time I try to fix it I just cause more damage so I am washing my hands of it and you all get it the way it is. Hope it is not too distracting! So reading Hamlet (I know that was forever ago) got me curious about ghost stories in the Elizabethan period. Doing research on ghost brought up the issue of witches. So here are my findings on Ghosts and Witches! 

Midterm: Whitney

     So Whitney I figure you are going to read this so I addressed it to you, I feel like things like this are less intimidating that way!

1    Learning Outcomes:


                I have for the most part put up two post a week adn commented on at least two posts a week. Also as part of this I made an effort in class and outside to share what I was learning and doing. I tried to let the class know about movies and the conversation with Fred Adams online and in class as well as planning activities with others in the class in other classes we have together.

Movie Night!

Hey just a reminder I am going to see Othello tonight with my friend Jenna for all those who want to come! It is on the main floor of the SWKT just follow the crowds of people and maybe we'll meet up, hope to see you there!
