William Shakespeare...

Everybody should have heard about him, right? He's the guy who made interesting plays like,
  • Much Ado About Nothing
  • King Richard the Third
  • Taming of the Shrew
  • and the famous Romeo and Juliet.

Romeo and Juliet is a (or maybe not) a favorite to all.

"Oh Romeo! Where art thou my Romeo!"

It's a story of two lovers who are madly in love, but they cannot get married. So they drink poison together and they died together!

???????Did You Know???????

That William Shakespeare has coined words? Here are some of them,

  • bump
  • dauntless
  • swindle
  • fitful
  • hint
  • illstared
  • quarrelsome
  • swagger
  • and zany

There are more, but I am not going to list them.

This guy put his WHOLE heart and soul and mind into his work.

Jordan really likes his plays and has been reading them and telling me to read them. I will. They do sound funny and interesting.
