Word Power

The one and only time that I used word power outside of class was when there was the word that meant "someone with a beautiful butt".  using the word I asked people whether or not they thought they had beautiful butts.  They all got very confused and it was fun.

            I think that word power will lead me to a better vocabulary for writing and talking.  this will be helpful for my career and my life in general.  Sometimes I enjoy word power but most of thwe time it is confusing.  All the more reason to use the book and learn the words.

Shakespeare's Work



             The film, Much Ado About Nothing, was very confusing at first and was hard to understand.  But gradually over time it started to make sense.  The film actually had a simple plot of trying to make two people fall in love.  And the story of how two fell in love and one felt tricked.  The film was very enjoyable and I’m interested in encountering more of Shakespeare’s work.

            I’m slightly excited to read the work, Romeo and Juliet, by Shakespeare after watching the movie in class.  The diction and wording of old English may be hard to understand, but it won’t take to long to grow used to it in reading.  I’m glad that we are going to read it in class like we did for The Importance Of Being Earnest.  I hope to have small group discussions in class and some questions to answer that will go with these discussions.
