D-D Marshall’s Online Journal

The thick misty air swept across the mountainous surface of the “alien” planet, blinding the sight of the shine of the crystal like rocks. Like a ice poll melting in the sun just waiting to be gobbled up. The shadow  of the ships was frightening in itself, and every second under there was like you was drowning in water. With a jagged and sharp edge, the ships swarmed overhead like mob of bees flying out of its hive going nowhere. It looked  like the end of the world, but only more scary. The floor was shaking, cracking and shuddering as they flew past and the air was getting filled up with the smell of fuel. The presance of the air was like it was whispering to each other, but not saying a word. The sun was like the air, it is their but you it. Each ship blocking the sun but going, it was like you was switching a light on and off so many times that it would stop working, or just blow up. It was only when the last ship past whe in realised how fast they were going. These massive sharp “things” were like rocks flying in the sky but…

As you already know I am getting old so as a result of that, I wish to divide my most valuable treasures. But to win it ,you will have to present a presentation about how much you love me. First place will a get ten million pound prize, second place will win a five million pound and last place will win a one million pound prize. This will be happening tomorrow around supper, I will see you then.

Sir I love you more than words can wield the matter. I love you so much I would die for you.

Is that it … okay I guess that is.

What shall our second daughter say, our dearest Regan speak.

I don’t have much to say but all I want to say  is that I love you with all my heart and I would do anything for you. You are the most important thing to me in the world, even more important than my sisters. it may be wrong of me to say that but you are my DAD, and you mean everything to me.

Thank you for that presentation, probably the best so far.

Last but not least our youngest born Cordelia speak

Nothing my lord.

NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How dare you say that!

No I don’t mean it like that, I meant it in the way that just because of the occasion i don’t love you more or no less.

Let me have a good time to think about it and I will come back to you later.

ONE DAY LATER

After that I have come to my conclusion. Please don’t hate me after this but after a long hard think about it I have decided that Regan shall get the first prize, Cordelia shall get second prize and last place will be Goneril

 Shakespeare married Mary Arden, the daughter of Robert Arden, a farmer from the nearby village of Wilmmcote. In 1556 John bought the main part of the house in Henley Street which is now known as the ‘Birthplace’ and their family, including William, grew up there (see photo). John’s principal business was that of a glover, but he also traded as a wool and corn merchant, and he is recorded in 1570 as being involved.

Since William Shakespeare lived more than 400 years ago, and many records from that time are lost or never existed in the first place, we don’t know everything about his life. For example, we know that he was baptized in Stratford-upon-Avon, 100 miles northwest of London, on April 26, 1564. But we don’t know his exact birthdate, which must have been a few days earlier.in money-lending.

William Shakespeare was probably born on about April 23, 1564, the date that is traditionally given for his birth. He was John and Mary Shakespeare’s oldest surviving child; their first two children, both girls, did not live beyond infancy. Growing up as the big brother of the family, William had three younger brothers, Gilbert, Richard, and Edmund, and two younger sisters: Anne, who died at seven, and Joan.

Their father, John Shakespeare, was a leather worker who specialized in the soft white leather used for gloves and similar items. A prosperous businessman, he married Mary Arden, of the prominent Arden family. John rose through local offices in Stratford, becoming an alderman and eventually, when William was five, the town bailiff—much like a mayor. Not long after that, however, John Shakespeare stepped back from public life; we don’t know why.

A few years after he left school, in late 1582, William Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway. She was already expecting their first-born child, Susanna, which was a fairly common situation at the time. When they married, Anne was 26 and William was 18. Anne grew up just outside Stratford in the village of Shottery. After marrying, she spent the rest of her life in Stratford.

In early 1585, the couple had twins, Judith and Hamnet, completing the family. In the years ahead, Anne and the children lived in Stratford while Shakespeare worked in London, although we don’t know when he moved there. Some later observers have suggested that this separation, and the couple’s relatively few children, were signs of a strained marriage, but we do not know that, either. Someone pursuing a theatre career had no choice but to work in London, and many branches of the Shakespeare had small families.

King Lear: As you three already know, I am getting old, so as a result of that I will be giving you prizes. But it is not as simple as that, you see you will have to present a speech or presentation to me tomorrow. Whoever has the best one will win the best prize

SHAKESPERE PRESENTS KING LEARS DAUGHTERS LOVE IN A SENSE THAT IT IS OVER DRAMATIC.

Let me introduce you to each of our characters, lets start of with king Lear. King Lear is obviously a king because of the king in KING Lear. He is an normal man except that he is a king, he has three daughters who want the largest part of land.

Goneril is the most fake out of all of the sisters, she speaks first which in my eyes is an disan

Regan is also fake, but is not as fake as Goneril.

For example I think Goneril is the Most fake out of all of the because she says the she loves him more then words can wield  the matter . Goneril is saying this because she wants the biggest part of land but I think he wont give it to her. King Lear is wont live for  longer so he is dividi HIS LAND INTO THREE, A BIG PART A MIDLLE PART AND A SMALL PART. I PERSONALY THINK GONERIL SHOULD GET THE SMALLEST PART OF LAND. THE REASON WHY I SAY THIS IS BECAUSE KING LEAR WONT JUST GIVE GONERIL THE BIGGEST PART OF LAND JUST BECAUSE SHE GAVE A SPEECH ABOUT SHE LOVING  HIM MORE THAN SHE CAN DESCRIBE. THIS STATEMENT MEANS HER HEART CANT FIT INTO HER MOUTH SO SHE CANT DESCRIBE HER LOVE FOR HIM. IF SHE REALLY WANTED THE LAND THAN SHE SHOULD OF BEEN MORE HONEST.

REGAN IS MORE HONEST THAN GONERIL BUT IS STILL A BIT FAKE. SHE SAYS THAT SHE IS AN ENEMY TO ALL OTHER JOYS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY JOY TRUE. I AM NOT EXACTLY SURE WHAT IT MEANS BUT IN THINK IT MEANS THAT SHE LOVES HIM SO MUCH THAT SHE CAN ONLY THINK ABOUT HIM.I THINK THAT SHE SHOULD GET THE SECOND LARGEST PART OF LAND IF SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE HONEST THAN SHE MAY HAVE A CHANCE OF GETTING THE BIGGEST PART OF LAND. REGAN SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE HONEST.
