First things first....that poem... I'm pretty sure is going to be my downfall. It was really hard to think of how everything would fit together to make sense, without just putting down words that rhymed. But somehow I managed to make my poem so long that I had trouble keeping it on one page... also having to analyze your own poem was interesting because then you're not actually guessing what the writer was thinking because you are the writer and you are ALIVE and therefore you know for a fact what you were thinking....hopefully anyways.

As for Hamlet, I did not imagine him to be THAT old (the actor, Kenneth Branagh, was definitely Gilderoy Lockhart in HP) because I also have the comic book version of Hamlet, and he is portrayed as what looks like an 18 year old boy with bright red hair. Not so sure why he has red hair. Also the ghost of King Hamlet is shown to be towering over the entire castle. AS for the actual play, I found it really interesting that one word like “seems” fit the dialogue in context in more than one way. It also kind of plays into the whole ambiguity of the situation, since no one is being forthright about what they really mean. SO far the play has been really interesting, and I think I've used about 20 post it notes for the first 10 pages. But I'm excited to find out what happens next!
