Do Now

When you heard we were starting Shakespeare, how did you react? Why?

I will say what i said yesterday; "I'd rather get an STD than read another Shakespeare.". I'm extremely sick with the amount of Shakespeare we have read. I think he is so overrated. I feel like we could get a better feel by more obscure people or different writers than concentrating on a select few. (ex: Hemingway, Steinbeck, Sinclair, etc.) Instead of concentrating on main people such as Shakespeare and Poe. And if we do so we should concentrate on the lesser known writings, like Annabel Lee and Othello instead of The Tell Tale Heart and Romeo and Juliet.
