The day i met shakespeare
The day I met William Shakespeare
It’s 2pm local time in London and I just arrived. A 19 year old all alone in London, haha I’m gonna get lost. I might check in to the hotel and then check this big town out, tomorrow I’ll visit Madame Tussauds and Stratford-upon-Avon, where Shakespeare grew up.
Madame Tussauds is pretty close to my hotel, so I take that first. I walked over there and by the time I was listening to British music. I got lost two times on my way to Madame Tussauds, so I bought a map, then I found the right way. I arrived at half-past 10 and I was thinking ‘Oh my God, here is so many dolls!’ I watched Justin Bieber, Michael Jackson, Robert Pattinson and many more, and then I saw him, William Shakespeare. I walked over to him and stood by him for quite a while, and then I continued to walk. At 12pm I started walking over towards Stratford-upon-Avon. I couldn’t believe it! I was here, me, the curious girl who wanted to discover the world was standing outside Shakespeare’s house! I stood there for a long time, and then suddenly an old man came to me and started talking to me.
Good day Ms. the strange man said.
Hello.
You have been standing here for quite some time now watching tis wonderful house, may I ask why?
I am a fan of Shakespeare, I like his plays and I’m a very curious girl who wants to discover the world.
You are a fan of Shakespeare? You are so young, I know it is rude to ask a lady her age, but may I ask of yours my lady?
What should I answer? A person I’ve never met before asks after my age... ‘Be honest’ a voice in my head said.
I’m 19. How old are you?
You are not going to believe me if I told you my real age, so let us just say I am incredible old.
How old are you really? I looked him in the eyes.
I just celebrated my 448th birthday.
It’s impossible to be that old.
Not if you are immortal.
Like you are that! Who are you anyway?
You are not going to believe me my dear.
I don’t know, tell me.
You might want to sit

    Good morning, people! I came up here today to talk about something that might make you bored a little bit. I believe everyone in this room has read one of Shakespeare’s plays more than once in their life. I would like you to recall the first time you read his writing. What was your first impression? Good? Sad? Or were you overwhelmed with great agony from deep inside your heart? Did you hate yourself, not understanding a single word on a page? I don’t wanna sound like an I-know-everything person, but believe me. When I read the first page of Macbeth, I just knew it from instinct -- this is not my type of book. The words were too lofty, his syntax was overly complicated, and his characters would just suddenly speak out their thoughts. I mean,…

    I normally hate Shakespeare a lot. Not only the words in the conversation, but also the details in the play, without good English ability, I might miss many interesting scenes in the play which are mostly best part of the play. Honestly, I don’t get much information from the play (as usual), but there are definitely lots of interesting moment through the play that attract me a lot. Especially the interaction with audience, and watch somebody I know on the stage, which is always my dream.…
