Blowing winds and your cheeks crack! Blowing rage!

Till you drenched the tops of our church and drowned are chickens.

You must sulfurous threw are fired and execute them.

Thunderbolts will be fired full of oak and there will be couriers.

Singe my white head! And thou shall shake thunder

Smack my head in the thick o’th’ground .

Best natures finest ground all Germans come at one make my an ingratful man!

Make me feel sick! Spit fire in my belly and spout rain everywhere!

No wind, rain,thunder , fire are my disgrace if daughters. I don’t charge you elements with unkindness.

I have never gave Regan and Goneril power and they shall never be my children again they are traitors!

Cordellia, I owe you no subscription and you don’t owe me no apology. Why I shall fall I order you to make me fall.

My and your horrible pleasure.Here I stand as an slave to you a poor, infirm man I am weak and despised!

Yet I still call servile ministers. With my two pernicious daughters joined.

Your in the highest if highest in endangered battles ‘gainst a head. As I turn so old and either I think oh!   ‘Tis foul.

To Cordellia      France, Paris

I’m very sorry for what I have done. I feel so guilty, please contact me with an letter or something.

Goneril and Regan are traitors to England and me; I am going to be punishing them once I get my crown back and I will be giving you the majority of land. Please come back. Is there anything I can do? If anyone tries to stop you for coming in the country I will help you, especially Regan and Goneril.

When you come into this country we will take down Goneril and Regan with my army, although I’m old I still win wars! I am planning an rebel on them.

Wherever you are please come back or write to me. I didn’t get to hear you properly because I’m so foolish. I would like to take this time to say I am dearly sorry for my actions. You where the honest and truest of them all and you where the one to have the guts to say what you thought plus stick up for women to let them have a bit of freedom.

Fifthly I would like you to forgive me for all my misunderstandings. The present of your sisters where cruel; they acted charming and nice but where truthfully wanting power to over come me.

I also need your help all my kingdom and power has been tooken over, I’ve gone to rack and ruins. Do you know what to do? If we can build an army we can over take the traitors. For my misunderstanding and banishing you from England I will give you half of the kingdom.

U have to ask you, will you not be a traitor to me and my country. Can you find forgiveness  in your heart for your sisters. Furthermore, do forgive your sisters for there wickedness? I would like to know where you are exactly.

In addition, to the ending of my last paragraph, I know you went to Paris in France but I’m not sure exactly where you are. Please can you tell me where you are fully. Regan and Goneril have tooken over Kent and making there way to London, HELP!

My thought on what Goneril and Reggan have done was absolutely disgraceful. When they fall to there knees they will be banished but also put in the traitors gate for one day before they are banished.

Finally, I will just talk about my good memeories with you. When you where born it was the best thing ever and now that your an adult I destroyed everything. I am dearly sorry. Please can you forgive me?

Everyone is gossiping in England whenever I’m anywhere I can here people say, “I think Goneril and Regan pretended to love there father and just for the land and there father believe them. However the other daughter  Cordellia told the truth and got banished from England.”

Yours sincerely, your father Lear.

I am in London SE18 8TW, contact me by sending a letter as soon as possible.

The  King swept into the court and stood glaring at the crowd in front of him. His eyes rose with fire as silence commenced across the room. As his mouth opens slowly , the King declares he is going to give the biggest piece of land to one of his daughters, however they have to try and persuade him how much they love him. “Which shall love most doth.” Says the King.

First to speak is Goneril. She is an liar and fake. She says,” Sir I love you more than words can wield the matter; dearer than eye sight, space and liberety, valued to be rich or rare.” In this part she is trying to emphasis her love to her father (the King). He starts to praise her which means he is falling into his falling into her trap.

Second daughter to speak is Cordellia. As she approaches the stand to speak her father tries to be cockey and says, “What ever shall Cordellia do; love and be silent?” When Cordellia gets to the stand and the crowd is silence she looks like something is going to happen. There was an tense feeling into the air. The atmosphere felt like it was the beginning of an earthquake. As King Lear goes to say speak, Cordellia says, peacefully, “Nothing my Lord.” This made the atmosphere turn into an apocalypse; you can hear the gasps in the background and gossip. King Lears reaction is terrifying, he is going ballistic he says to Cordellia, in an aggressive tone, “Mend your speech Cordellia!” Cordellia says, “Good my Lord, you have begot me, bred me and fed me I will pay back for those duties by not accepting the land. I am very happy as I am aswell.” Cordellia is finally saying her point. King Lear replies, “Very well no longer are you allowed in my Kingdom.” Which means your no longer my daughter. Cordellia is the most honest character and is trust worthy, she’ll always tell the truth.

Last to speak is Regan, daughter of Kent, could she possibly do it, swip the King of his feet and get the biggest piece of land? Her main lines are, “Sir, I am made of the self same metal as my sisters, why should I have the biggest piece of land I am not bothered if I don’t get it.” As Regan says this you can feel her tension rising; we know that she just wants to tell her farther I love like my sisters which is equal. Regan is the type of daughter that doesn’t wont to be spoilt and does not mind.

King Lear finally walks up to the stand with all power in his hand and declares that the biggest piece of land will be given to one of his daughter another time. Who could it be?…

INTRODUCTION

William Shakespeare was an English poet, he was born on 26th April 1564 and died on 23rd April 1616. He has wrote approximately thrity-eight plays over his time and one hundred and fifty four sonnets , two long narrative poets. His most famous plays are Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet.

FACTS ABOUT HIS LIFE

He was born in Stratford-upon-Haven. His dad is John Shakespeare , when he was 18 he married 26 year old Anne Hathaway. Shakespeare got notice by performing his first few plays on the London stage in 1592, after he was noticed from around London. In 1599 Shakespeare had made his own theatre called the “Globe” on the Thames; it was unfortunately burnt down on June 29th 1613.

FACTS ABOUT THE GLOBE THEATRE

The Globe theatre was built in 1599 and burnt down on 1613. This is because of a big fire it was rebuilt on 1614. It was built from timber which is wood and its architecture is and dome, some people say it is like an collesium. It took six months to build (the official Globe theatre). Rich people frequently visited the Globe theatre because it was like there TV in their era; it costed one penny to get inside which would be five pound nowadays. There were no seats inside the theatre so everyone had to stand up through the play. In the theatre there is a tap door which would be for people who had died or came from Hell in an play. Also the higher you stand and watch the play it shows how richer you are. If you where to sit in the pitch you would be asked to take your part in the lay. If you where unlucky you would get pick pocketed.

HOW IT FELT TO BE A WOMEN IN 1600S

Despite the fact a single woman ruled England in Shakespeare’s era women were considered as the weaker sex. When a women is married she is considered to bear children. They where viewed as an person who had to always be prepared to do what they where told to do. Women didn’t really have jobs, they would stay at home and look after the children; when they had spare time they would have to clean the house and make breakfast, lunch and dinner. They would have no freedom until their un-married.

CONCLUSION

This is what Shakespeare’s life was like, how the Globe theatre was built and developed and how a women’s life was. It was tough for women but easy for Shakespeare; the Globe theatre was an main attraction. The end! Continue reading

Once upon a time there was a pub in Bermondsey where every local person went after a hard day of work, even children (they had sweets and sugar drinks). However there was this one family that always had problems and argue with each other. They where the Stevensons.

Dad:

Abu, Tyriese and Victora stop fighting I’m getting old. If you carry on fighting, cussing each other and all bad things you will not be allowed to go to football and will be grounded for a week. Actually I got a better idea, whoever could be the most good and nice person will get a Segway. But you have to respect me and everyone else.

Abu:

Dear dad, I am sorry for my behaviour; what can I get you? Would you like a packet of crisps? I do not mind paying and going to collect them from the bar. Would you like me to go and give  the empty glasses back? I love you so much I will not be bad any more I promise. I will be nice to mother when we go home and I will be good everywhere we go. Abu is just a false person he just wants the Segway and to show off he is trying to trick his dad in to his trap.

Dad:

Umm, can you get me a packet of crisp, ready salted. Also well done that’s the attitude I like. Hopefully you stick to that and there will be no more mischief. You are showing your true colours.

Tyriese:

I don’t have to do anything, I love you more than words can wield the matter. I do not have to do chores to be good I have thought about my actions and I will not always be bad; what else can I say they , my brothers, just want the Segway. Tyriese is an honest boy he tells the truth and he says he doesn’t mind if he doesn’t get the Segway and he is sorry for his behaviour.

Dad:

WHAT!!!!!!!!! Your ‘aving a laugh, surley you must be joking mend your perspective a little.

Tyriese:

You have gone through with all my badness ,and triple because of me, Abu and Tyriese, you don’t deserve anymore so I don’t mind if you give me a Segway because you will be giving more. Tyriese is the most honest as we can see from both of his speeches.

Dad:

Are you joking?! You are in serious trouble when we go home!

Victor:

Dad, oh dad, I would love to have a Segway, I am telling the truth I love you with my heart I am dearly sorry for my behaviour from the past years. I really don’t care if I don’t get the Segway as long as you forgive me I’m happy. I am just like my brothers self steam metal please forgive me. I am never going to be bad. Victor is a bit honest he does want the Segway bur he is also sorry for everything he has done.

Dad:

Alrigh’ sons you’ve all been good which I am happy with you; this now proves to me you can be good and you shall be good for ever no more silliness right.

Abu, Tyriese and Victor:

Yes dad!

Dad:

Let me tell you something, I was only joking about the Segway it was a test, now I expect you to be good to me and your mum. If you think I was going to buy you a Segway you must be joking. Now you must be good ok. He, dad, is clever because made a test of this. He wanted to know if they were good, which they where, and now he knows he expect them to be good for ever.

This book is about a boy called Hamish, and for some bizarre reason the world would pause every often. He didn’t know why it was happening to him. He thought it was fun until he saw some monsters, he was shocked, he thought what where they doing here. He done some research and found out they where trying to take over the world. Hamish realised everyone who had a tooth filling in his town can witness a pause because he had seen others still walking and moving in pauses. Hamish formed a group to defeat the monsters, would they win? Read the book to find out…..

I really like this book because it makes you want to know more in every chapter you read. It is like at the end of each chapter there is a cliff hanger. Also this book is exciting and suitable for all ages. However, it doesn’t take long to read because you love it and read so much in one day.

I would rate this book five out of five (5/5), and the author is a brilliant author his name is Danny Wallace and the Illustrator is James Littler. They are not known very well but I would recommend their books to anyone.
