I actually liked Msnd. It was better than i thought because i thought it was going to be all serouis, but it had comedy in it. I liked that fueds Bill A.k.a shakespear had through out the play. I liked how Demetrius told Helena that the wild creatures in the woods could eat her and he would care. Plus how stupid Helena was. She needs to get some help fast. I liked the machanicals. They were funny, thinking Bottom was the greatest man alive but really he was stupid. It was funny that Bottom thought that he could play every part in the play. It is weird that everything that Skaespear metioned in the play still happenes today. One example is people falling head over heels for people who don't love them back, and the person making fun of you. For some reason the person still loves them. I definately think that this will help me with shakespear in the future.
I think that in the end, it turned out to be a very good book and it was actually easy to read once you got used to the way Shakespeare wrote. I liked this book. Some of the situations were somewhat similar to ones that we experience today. I liked it because it Shakespeare was not the kind of writer everyone thought he was. At some parts it was very funny too, about how crazy Helena got over Demetrius. She needs to get help with her problem. It is weird though how Shakespeare writes about some of the same situations that are happening today! They may not be exactly alike, but they are similar. I think I am ready to read Shakespeare in the future now that I have had a little experience with it. I am really glad we read it because now I will be better prepared for the future! MSND was a great book!
I think reading MSND was actually okay. It was certainly better then I expected it to be. Some of it was actually funny and I could actually understand most of it. I expected it to be dull and hard to understand. It helped that we read slow and made sure we understood what the meaning was. Doing things like translations helped a lot. I think if I have to read shakespeare in the future, I will be prepared. The translations will help with the sometimes strange vocabulary you can find in Shakespeare. It takes certain skill to be able to understand Shakespeare. We learned that there is always a second meaning to something. Overall, reading MSND was a good experience and I will be ready to read Shakespeare if necessary in the future.
I loved MSND it was amazing. The only thing that made me mad was the way they talked! But the translations helped quite a bit. But some of the things they did say were so compicated that zoned out for a while until we dissused them.I thought the book would be terrible and really boring but it ended up not being that way. I did not think it would be funny at all but obviosly it had comedy in it. I loved the way Helena had serious mental problems that was one of the things that made it really funny. I also just liked the whole plot of the story it is really easy for me to like books but this one I thought this one would be horrible. I do feel that I am ready for Shakespeare in the future because now I have a better understanding of how they talk and what they mean. Hopfully all of he plays were as good as this one as I read them later on.
I think this book was really cool and I enjoyed reading it. This book used real life things so I could really get into it. Once you can understand the book it is really good. In this book it was also to see how people saw things back then. This book wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I would here people groaning about it or hearing about the love stories and wouldn't like the idea of reading it. Though when we started reading it I was really good and I was surprised. Having read this book I think I will be able to read Shakespeare now that I have read MSND. I think I will enjoy reading some more of these books. This book wasn't one of the kinds of books I usually read and i still enjoyed it. I think this was really good for us all to read to be exposed to something different.
I did like MSND. What I could never figure out was why Helena was so crazy she told him to treat her like a dog. Everyone got what they wanted in the end which does not usually happen in real life. I did like how we got to read Shakespeare it did prepare me for the future when I will have to read it again. If I wouldn't have read this now i would have been very confuse for when in the future when I will be reading Shakespeare again. What I couldn't believe that in Shakespeare's time people actually did what we do today, such as sleeping around with people. That surprised me most with people back in the day but other than that I would have thought all the rest would have happened anyways. I was really surprised that I did like this book.
I think reading MSND was interesting. We learned a lot of new english like iambic pantamenter. The story its self was very good. I liked how Shakespeare's parts of the story actually were still true today. I thought it was funny how the mechanicals play was so outrages they got made fun of by the Duke and company. I enjoyed reading the play all together. It was an interesting story and the reading by our class made it very interesting. I think i will be prepared to read shakespeare in the future. Reading shakespeare in the future won't be as hard now that i have had a chance to read it. Overall reading Shakespeare was better than i thought and actually fun. i am glad i got a chance to read shakespeare now so its easier in the future.
It was better than I thought. I liked it because it had and interesting story. I think I would be able to read it in the future. I will also be able to translate what they say. At first I didn't do so good but as we did more translations, I got better at them. I liked the play the machanicals did at the end. It was like they made the play seem like a joke. Helena is insane! Throughout the book, she was all crazy until she got to marry Demetrius.
MSND was much better than I thought it would be. It was much more funny than I thought it would be. Shakespeare must be some kind of genius if he could write his plays like that. I don't know if I could come up with a storyline that good or make it rhyme! Bottom was one of the funniest characters I've ever seen. It was hard to understand at first, but it became much easier as we went along. It is funny how Shakespeare is still realistic today.
I actually liked MSND a lot. It was better then I thought it was going to be and I was really surprised that it had humour in it becuase I thought it was going to be really serious. I thought it was cool how shakespeare used real life situations in the story that still happen today, like people losing best friends over guys and people going crazy over other people. I thought it was funny how Helena went crazy over Demitrius. If a guy says things like that to you then you should realize that he isnt worth it and move on. I think reading MSND helped me prepare for the future shakespeare plays I will read because I got a look at how to understand the way it is written. This book was better then I thought it was going to be and I think it was a great choice to read it.
I actually kind of enjoyed MSND. It was a lot better then i thought it would have been. I thought it was going to be boring. It was actually not boring and very interesting. I also thought it would have been hard too understand. It was actually very easy to read and it was like how we talk today but just worded different. I think I am better prepared to read Shakespeare in the future because you have taught me how to read it. You have also taught me how to understand it. You have done a good job teaching us about Shakespeare. I liked reading Shakespeare and it was a good experience.
For the most aprt,I really enjoyed this novel. I mean, it was unique in it's own way. It's nothing like I've ever read before.
Wow... Well this was a challenging book for sure. I'm pretty sure I liked it more that a lot of other books I have read in the past. I really enjoyed this book because it had real morals and messages that relate to present day situations and happenings.
This book was really better than I thought it would be, I thought it would be like a Shakespeare thing I had seen on a kid's show when I was little (but of course, that's a STEREOTYPE!) "]
I not only feel more prepared to read more Shakespeare in the future, but I also feel more prepared to read ANY other book in the future! Shakespeare was really challenging in parts and you know, I just feel more prepared to read now that I have read Shakespeare.
