9th Grade: What comes to your mind when you hear the words, "Now we're going to read Shakespeare!" Do you cringe in fear? Do you giggle with glee? What past experiences have you had with Shakespeare to make you react the way you do?

I've never read Shakespeare so I dont really know what to expect. I have heard from people that have read Shakespear books, they say that it is hard to understand. When I hear that we will be reading Shakespear, I would have a negitive reaction to it, it seems too long and tough to read. I will most likely not understand halph the book. Ive never read a Shakesper book because I might not understand it and I dont want to waste my time on something that I might not understand.

The only Shakespear book that I have heard of is 'Romeo and Julliet.' it sounds like too much of a romance for me to want to read.
