Another Response to Course Material!
Since my last Response to Course Material Post, we watched parts of yet another Hamlet version, which I did not care for. It was just too strange and twisted, not to mention hard to follow. We've also done some multiple choice practice, which is always an important thing to practice. I was at 7th Grade Camp this past week, but I believe we started reading Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, and while I'm getting sick of Hamlet and plays, it should be interesting.
Since we've gone over Hamlet so many times, I feel like I am seeing Hamlet references all over. This week the second Chronicles of Narnia movie was on TV. And HOLY COW what do you know, Prince Caspian is basically Hamlet, whose evil uncle killed Caspian's father in order to take the throne for himself. Caspian had his chance to kill his uncle, but hesitated in the end. I was so proud when I saw this, you have no idea. Connecting what I learn inside of school to stuff outside of school! Yes!

Great post Kenzie! I liked how you compared something we learned to the outside. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern was really enjoyable I thought. But you didn't get to read it in class I am assuming so maybe it wasn't so much for you. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteUmm, heroine hamlet was definitely the best Hamlet movie ever. It was such a cool, fresh, unique taste on Hamlet. I think it could have been great, if it hadn't been such a low-budget film. That aside, I also like how you compared Hamlet to an outside source. I get really excited when I can connect things, too. I remember finding a ton of things after reading that Foster book.
