shakespeare

I  have had a long time to think about this so it will be less of a process and fewer words, though they haven't been picked yet.

I do not think it a coincidence that so many great writers claim Mississippi as their home, nor do I consider it a coincidence that I fell in love with the English Language, namely Shakespeare, at Ole Miss, which is in Oxford, MS.

It is funny to remember two things 1) my teacher considered me her project when I commented that Katheine had the right idea in learning her place in "the taming of the shrew". I was supposed to be learning the value of women having a voice. and 2) one of ny projects in Shakespeare class was to rewrite and perform a piece and I missed the rehersals and other meetings so I stayed up all night worrying about my grade and contribution, so I wrote incidental music to be played before and after the performance mainly. and I wrote a report on the uses and function of such music at the time. It was seen as brilliant. Really,it was like a tv sitcom and It wasn't really intended to be incredible nut that tends to happen mmore on accident then on purpose.
