I loved reading R&J because I could imagine Leo and everyone saying the lines in the movie, and it all made so much more sense to me that way LOL. We watched the 1960s movie of it after we got done reading it, and all us girls kept telling our teacher we should have been watching the Leo version, but she hadn't seen it. It was good to see the other one though.

*sigh* Oh Leo... *thinks back to 8th and 9th grade*

The only thing I really remember about it besides him falling out of a tree and dying later on (sorry to anyone who wanted to read it but hasn't yet :(), was that we had a quiz on it about half way through or something. And for one of the questions, I answered "He hated that they were playing badmittion for summer athletics." And my English teacher was like "No, the answer is that he hated the Athletic Program." And I remember being pissed off because he totally only hated the badmitton. lol

Omg, that's what I hated about English classes. If it's true that literature is up to interpretation, how could you mark an answer like that wrong? Plus, that just sounds PICKY!!
Also, I've said this before, but I really find it hard to believe that when all those authors wrote their stories, they purposefully included all of the symbolism and whatnot that we learn about when reading them in English classes today. They probably had no idea how much their stories would be analyzed centuries later.

We got to make up skits of a different part from the story, and my group did something about trolls (my memories of that book are pretty scattered too), and I remember we actually painted our faces green at school and sat around a pretend campfire, and I had brought some of my old Barbies for us to "roast" over the fire and gnaw on LOL. It was hilarious at the time.

lmao We did something like that for Romeo and Juliet too in high school. It was the scene where they all found out Juliet was "dead." I was the nurse and Kevin was Friar Laurence. And all through the rehersal I kept calling Juliet "Houlietta" and Kevin kept saying that "The nurse and the friar should go make out out back." Sad thing was, when it came time to perform, we both slipped up with those lovely gems. lol

actually I am surprised though that Shakespeare In Love is one of my favorite movies because it's ending sucks too.
but I actually made Josh read Pride and Prejudice to me. It was too hard for me to read on my own and I really really wanted to read it. I LOVE that book!!!! One of my faves of all time! I heart Jane!

To be fair, it's not called a trajedy for nothing. lol
Jane is love! I've been meaning to read Sense and Sensibilty. Kelly, can we read it together? lmao Like a weekly read aloud book club?
