Hey all, long time no visit, keep getting wrapped up in the work thing, then busy with family.
On the ponder, the only thing not to my liking right now is my living situation, sharing a duplex with in-laws, great people but just too intrusive in out lives. So, I would change that. To our own house. NO other family.
Nothing else much going on. Love the D*C photos, again another year I miss.

HUGS Gorram.. ok you're very brave to live with the in-laws. I don't think I could do that... I know I couldn't live with my parents

Of course he does not see that if the entire class does not see his point, then maybe it is his problem. I have to read Shakespeare over and over again and also read the commentaries before I understand what Shakespeare is trying to imply. After all, the terms he used date back several hundred years and no one knows them now. He also uses words out of context.
Me thinks he protests to much.

*double post alert* wow Traveler, we muste've posted at the same exact time XD but yeah,i think maybe he dwells a little too much on one subject sometimes :P not to say he doesn't have his comical or comprehensive moments, but even my high school english teacher (grammar queen + intense shakespeare FANATIC = d.mattei) didn't dwell for too long on a single subject in Bill's plays. XD
but, on a happier note, when the bf was watching Top Gear tonight, one of the guys said 'let loose the dogs of war" and i was like "teehee, Caesar, act four *spazzdance*" XD i love it when stuff like that happens. it's like an in-joke, more so with the obscure quotes, but still.

The whole "Cry Havoc" line really isn't that obscure. Seems it is so ingrained in modern society/pop culture that most people either don't pay attention to it when it is said or have no damn clue as to where it came from or to what it is referencing.
How much of Shakespeare have you read? Have you seen any of the plays acted out? Have you vocalized any of the material with the intent of experiencing it rather than just reading it aloud? I am no expert. Hell, I don't even really like much more than a sonnet or two of his. But it is clear that the teacher might be trying to catch you and your classmates up on material, ideas, and perceptions you should have experienced in early high school.
I'll put it this way: I have a tenth grade education, work experience, and a few college credits in human service and case work studies. Really, I am VERY undereducated. When I read it is at the rate of human communication complete with pauses, annunciation, physical gestures, and accent. Most things take much longer to read than originally intended. Couple that with PTSD and what is likely a learning disorder called Dysgraphia, there are more than a few strikes against me.
Despite all that and having NOT read Julius Caesar I can still summarize the basic story and themes within just from what I have heard from other people, the elements of the story I've seen in pop culture, and from actual history of the time. All I can say is sack up, get past it, move on. Your "teacher" is preparing you for what he has in store for later on. The tests and finals aren't the actual "tests". The test is in your willingness to learn and your mettle.
If you don't understand this basic summary then you might want to consider an alternate path of study:

lol, true, but it's still fun with the really obscure ones. earns a giggle XD
I've read quite a bit of Shakespeare over the years ><;; *slaps self upside the head in Gibbs fashion* I try to read it out loud as much as possible because, well, you have to. They make more sense with the pauses and gestures and the emotion of *speaking* than just being read on a page (and yeah, that takes a long time, but for the sake of figuring out what the hell he's trying to say, it's worth it). You're right, he's probably trying to catch us up or something, but he seems to spend an inordinate amount of time trying to get *us* to come up with what he's thinking, and because we're not mind readers, we sometimes never figure that out. I guess I'm just of the mindset that if you're trying to get a point across, and we're not getting it on our own, it's a waste of time to spend an entire class on trying to make us get it when there could be other stuff we haven't discovered that could spark more fulfilling and productive discussion. :\
I don't know ><;; its 7:30am and my brain is still half asleep, I'm more than likely rambling.
Regardless, you seem very intelligent, NV ^_^
