Well hello and welcome to my new and rather confusing blog! XD
For now, I am going to have a good old moan about coursework, for the very simple reason that right now, I am supposed to be doing my English coursework (on Act 1, Scene 5 of Romeo & Juliet) and am bored and stuck for what to say XD
I hate coursework.
Well actually not all coursework, some is pretty damn cool, like stuff for Graphics and Drama, but Shakespeare... really not my cup of tea XD
At least I have Claire to keep me company...
And I have my music XD
And the forum...
And Facebook...
And TribalWars...
And Travian...
And now this...
Yeah, so in case you haven't guessed by now, I'm really not concentrating on my coursework when I really should be XD
The title of the piece is (yes, this really is the title): How does Shakespeare create dramatic tension in Act 1 Scene 5 of Romeo & Juliet? How important is the scene to the play as a whole?
The answer: by being an extremely good playwright; very, its when Romeo and Juliet first meet and if they don't meet then that kinda ruins the whole plot XD
But will they accept that as an answer? Noooo, they want us to write a whole bloody essay on such a simple answer *head desk*
I really don't understand why.
To show off our English skills? Well why not give us something decent to do then? Like writing a story? That'll show off our English skills much better than this!!
And besides... I mean, don't get me wrong, Shakespeare wrote some amazing stuff, but... nobody actually speaks like this anymore... I mean, when his stuff is translated into other languages, they get it written in the modern version of their language in order to study it, but we get ye olde version.
That's just plain unfair imo.
Ah well, hopefully I'll actually concentrate on it properly at some point and I'll end up with a good grade for it so it will all end up good XD
Adieu!
