Arrested While Grieving

Wow! Last night Mr. Aron sent me an article from the New York Times. You can access it by clicking below:

For today's blog entry, I simply want you to respond to this article. What does it make you feel? What does it make you think of? Do you agree with Rob Herbet's point of view? What can you do about it?

Please seriously consider before you write and remember to proofread and use perfect mechanics.

Thanks,

All the World's a Stage

Hey students! Look at the following quote by William Shakespeare:

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts."

This quote comes from one of Shakespeare's comedies called As You Like It. It's one of my favorites. For today's journal entry, I'd like you to do the following:

  1. Say what you think this quote means. What might Shakespeare mean by "exits?" "Entrances?" Playing "many parts?"
  2. State whether you agree or disagree with Shakespeare's quote as you have interpreted it. In essence, is all the world a stage?
  3. State some of the "parts" you have played thus far in your life.

Happy blogging!
