Romeo and Juliet

act 1. sc. 2 pg. 23

R & J

Juliet: "My ears have yet not drunk a hundred words
of thy tongue's uttering, yet i know that sound."
Act. 2 sc. 2
line 63-64
pg. 73
this is an examply oh a metaphore i think because it is a comparison not using the words like or as. it is stating that she hasnt heard much and it is like not even drinking a hundred words.

INteresting things about Shakespeare

One interesting fact about Shakespeare is that The only mention that Shakespeare specifically makes of his wife in his Last Will and testament was to leave her his "second best bed".... why not the first best bed? Why a bed? these are the questions that will now haunt me

William Shakespeare.. Interesting

Ok so we all know that William Shakespeare is a famous writer of poetry, but other then that there are some pretty interesting things about him. Like his family his father was a glove maker... Well at least Shakespeare's hands where warm! his father must have been very much in demand because not many people back then probably could make gloves and since he had the talent people where awed by him. His mother was the daughter of a well-to-do local landowner. He married Anne Hathaway :O!!!(no not the one from get smart tee hee).
