Welcome class of 2011 to Mrs. Duke’s famous English class! Some of you might have heard some negative things about this class like the excessive amount of homework and impossible tasks, but that is only true in some instances. In our class we had every trouble maker in the grade, not joking. We have every [...]
Dear Mr. Branagh,
Although I did not get to watch much of your performance in Hamlet (because I was absent the days we watched in class) I thought what I did see was ok. I started watching it right before the big death scene in the end and so I did not get to see how [...]
Ok so I am still not sure if they know they are going to die or not. At some points they seem like they know it is coming and just like harald crick they are trying to prevent it. But then when they recieve the letter right before they die their descriptions of how they [...]
This reading was really confusing to me! It picks up where Hamlet has his “to be or not to be” speach. From there that is where I got confused. So far R &G kinda have their own confusing language with eachother. They complete eachothers sentances and talk in a way that I would imagine really [...]

Hamlet is caught in the middle of two different feelings, guilt and revenge. He is not sure revenge is the right solution to this problem. Although he is really mad at his mom for remarrying so fast and to his uncle of all people, he doesn’t know if the right thing to do is [...]
This reading was even better then the last. Although I was pretty confused when they kept repeating “he murdered us”. I am still not really sure what they meant by this but it must be really important because they repeated it several times. Then i thought it was pretty strange how they said that they asked [...]
This reading was different from the first. Here is where Hamlet’s story and Rosencrantz and Gilderstern’s intertwined. R&G’s story shows aspects of postmodernism in this second reading. They play another game but this one dealt more with questions and seemed like a pretty fun one to play( in my opinion a lot more fun then [...]
This was so much easier to read then Hamlet. I am having some difficulty reading Hamlet because of the language and the fact that it just puts me to sleep very easily. Rosencrantz and Gilderstern are playing a coin tossing game. This game is all about life. During it you meet other players that are [...]
Wife of Bath: This group really seemed to know what they were doing.. Whether it was making jeans symbolize the main character or typing essays, they were really on top of what they had to do and made the key points in the story really show. They researched, collaged, wrote, and more just to learn [...]
