Ok you guys, I had to read Hamlet, by William Shakespeare, for school, so I'm going to review it. And look I'm using good spelling and capitalizing all my words! Anyway, I was reading Hamlet, the entire book, its really long but I didn't think I would like it but I did! Alot of it I didn't understand but the book had a page on the left where they said what all the words mean. I think just getting the general idea of the play is more important than knowing everything they say. I thuoght it would be really boring but I actually really like the characters. In my mind I picture Hamlet as looking like Edward but I know Hamlet's alot smarter even if he wanted to kill himself. After reading Hamlet, Edward seems so dumb! LOL but I still love him, but I also love Hamlet. And then when Ophelia went insane I was almost crying! It was so sad about her dad, but Shakespeare's really good at making emotions in his books. Anyway, I liked it a lot and you guys should all go read it!! :D
OMG! how dare u sey you think hamlet might look like edward? have u lost your mind!!!? :( oh jeez and edward is not stupid, shapespeare sucks he's the reason for the cliches if it werent for ppl always wanting to imitate his tragedies we'd have good writers in the world! argh! jenny pleez tell me you still love edward more than hamlet. :(

lol Kim, I know youve got the hots for Horatio. XD I dont know, I just really liked it, it didn't think I would but I did. No one will ever replace Edward in my heart but I love Hamlet too. And I didn't say Edward was stupid, I just now that Hamlet is really wise and stuff like that. Edward's just hot. :D
thats how i feel because jenny is doubting her love for edward! :( even tho she says she isnt!

Listen, it's obvious you don't care about bettering yourself as a writer. So as long as your on this site it is just a bother. I can't make you do anything, it's a free country, whatever. Just know that its a real pain in the neck when you spam up the site with vapid nonsense.

hamlet? was ok i guess but the whole thing was a bit complicated. maybe if they translated it properply then peeople would get it more? i mean its soooo hard to understand you need a translater thing and its just a waste of time. I like it when i can just read it becoz then we can relate to the characates way better. Thats why people like twilight because they can relate. The story is good tho, shakespear was very cool to make up all those plots. Too bad they all look cliched now!!!!! Anways thats what i think.
Buttercup you newb! Don't you know this this site is about writing??????? You better use your good grammar skillz before whatsehisface teh boss gets here!!!!! Cause if you dont then they'll send you a message saying that you must use good grammar or else! and then youll be sorry. o! and then theyll accuse you of not wanting to become a better writier!

Thats not that nice, xxx!!! Look I'm really sorry and I'll make sure I use apostrohies and spelling ok? Didn't realise how mean it can be here...
i know! right? its like they dont even give you a chance! I even picked an anime avatar so i could fit in! i even supported twilight and talked shit about sapespeare!!!! and then! I turned out to be another hypocrite of this grand site.
UGH. xxx I am so close to temporary banning you. Infact, I'm going to talk about your crappy ass annoying attitude with Shaun. So maybe you should watch it kay?
This thread is about hamlet, so anyone who has read it feel free to talk about it, about the writing style, plot, your impressions etc. This is not an OMGILUVTWILIGHT thread, so don't bring that crap here.
Buttercup, your comments are very good (except for the twilight thing xD) but don't worry no one is going to freak out at you, YET. We understand that some newbs have some problems getting started with using correct grammar and no chatspeak but please make a genuine effort. Remember, this isn't IM, you don't have to get your post out there ASAP, so take your time with your posts!

appleofmyeye, why do you think we don't want to become better writers? I think I'm good but I know I'm not good enough and that's why I signed up for this site so that I can get better. Like i said, kim's got a hot temper but we still love her because she's a great friend! Even though I think she's wrong about Hamlet lol. Don't worry, I'll always love Edward too! But Hamlet also.
Here Kim, tell me three reasons why I should give up Shakespeare.

Look nyx you sound really nice and everything but I am trying! If you're going to hate twlight then dont hate the people who do like it. Its just mean!
And xxx, its people like you who spoil it for everything else. I was trying to talk about hamlet like the mod said and you started having a go at me. Its unfair!
If this place is all about writing then why are you getting annoyed about twilight? Its writing isn't it? I haven't even finished it yet so i dont know if i like it yet.
Hamlet is quite cool but the whole playing around with the skull is a bit wierd. And how come its a skull anyway because I thought Yorik had only just died... o___O
he's old news, he's not edward, you think you're so cool just cause you like him. oh! and his writing is all soap operary! i only like romeo and juliet!
XXX & buttercup thank you for being so entertaining =] But since you're both the same person, you're now both banned. ^^

What??? Why did you ban them? You've got it wrong Nyx. I know Kim, she's my friend, "Buttercup" is someone completely different, she's from the UK...

What? No it hasn't ...
For the record, I fully support the banning of these people, and the closing of this thread. (In case that factors into your decision.)
To make up for the death of this one, I offer to make a thread on Hamlet ... next year, when we read it in school. And I will also post my Hamlet fanfiction -inspired fiction that we will be required to write as an assignment. (But first I have to see if I can get out of it, since it's against my religion -- even if I don't want to get out of it.)

Be ready for more than just that! The Hamlet assignment was optional, actually, but free points are totally a must or IB English. Our new *drumroll* Hedda Gabler fanfiction assignment is not. Apparently the teachers want to "incorporate more creative writing" into the curriculum, which would be great if it wasn't all fanfiction.
So I can actually be on-topic...I think this thread is hilarious, but its time is up. Close it.

I'm sure this is the wrong thread for this but..
The edward person/actor. Is the upper part of his head much larger than the lower part of his head, or is it just me? It really freaked me out to see that picture.

He's standing shoulders facing the camera, lango. His head is proportionate to his body :rolleyes:.
