10.25.10 hamlet

1. In pages 10-12 the book talks about King hamlet, and King Fortinbra. They were rivals, and while battling each other, Hamlet killed Fortinbra. The guards were discussing this because they were trying to figure out why their schedule is so strict. The ghost ends up coming back towards the end of page 12.

2. inverted syntax: "walks o'er the dew of yon high eastward hill"

Claudia Gonzalez's project was really good. She did a collage and a poem. The collage was really creative and looked great.

Rachel Tran drew a picture of Jack holding a devil looking mask. It was a very nice drawing and very creative.

Kevin and Bridgets poem was so good. The tone was powerful, especially at the end. They performed it in front of the class, which made i even better.

vocab poem

Some people in this world tend to be so strident
Then they want to come to my shoulder and vent
That's funny 'cause they must think I'm ludicrous
groveling on my door step, hope they know I'm going to diss.
