response to course material...

We have read hamlet. And well that was fun. It was hard to annotate but fun the read and I enjoyed rereading the book. But not annotating. I was just thinking about what else we did this time and really don't think we did anything else because hamlet was so hard. And long. And boring. 
We also had our final which was a lot more fun then i thought it would be. Since it wasn't just a repeat of the terms test. I actually enjoyed taking a scene from Hamlet and breaking it down and analyzing how it can be interpreted differently. We also had to act and to my surprise a lot of people could. I was also surprised that I could tell all of the differences in the scene that other people presented. And it was interesting to see how other people interpreted the scenes.
Still on Hamlet, kind of. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead I was gone during most of the reading but I have been catching up. Its a really funny book. really exploiting the limits of a play. Especially the part where he screams fire and says that he's just showing the limits of free speech.
