1571: William attends school
William Shakespeare got an early education at home, and at the age of seven he attended grammar school, where it was expected of you to have the ability to read and write. The curriculum was centered around books written in Greek or Latin, so knowing the languages was crucial. Performing plays was a part of grammar school, and boys had to memorize large pieces of literature. Also taught at school was appropriate social etiquette and civil responsibility. When he wasn't in school, William observed his father's business duties and listened to fables and folk lore. Although William could not finish school and never went to university, he continued to read and learn, as well as absorb ideas that led his work to be successful.
THE BIBLE
The Bible consists of sacred texts for Christaionity and Jewdism. For Christians the bible is divided into two parts: the New Testament and the Old Testament. The Bible is 1,280 pages and has over 25 million copies around the world. There are many different beliefs about the Bible which makes it hard to write a summary about. But basically, Christians believe in one God. They worship Mary, Jesus, and God. The Bible is Jesus's life story here on Earth. Being the son of God and his mother Mary, he traveled around spreading faith and was eventually was crucified. It has been a major influence on people thoughtout the world for a thousand years, including Shakespeare's time. I think it influenced him because he was Catholic (a type of Christianity) and his family were very religous.
Letters to romeos parents
To the parents of Romeo,
As of lately, your son, Romeo, hath created quite a stir. Killing Tybalt was on thing, but after his barefaced fray with Paris, I believe the clangor of dueling swords hast forever imprinted itself upon my eyes. I am surprised you Romeo hath not learned his lesson after he was banished to Mantua. If you cannot control your son's violent tendencies, the Prince wilt surely castigate him. In the past, his implusive decisons to fight have created much mayhem for not only himself, but others as well. The Prince has lost two of his kinsman at the hand of your Romeo. Get to the rootof the problem, and then find a way to move past it. Your son could duel with inanimate objects, rather than killing people. I hear swords cut quite pleasurably through melon. Romeo uses his sword without good reason when you are defending yourself. If Romeo uses his sword without good reson, he shall suffer the consequences.
Regards,
A concerned citizen of Verona Abby Norton
To the parents of Romeo,
Your has hathed too much trouble lately. Disturbing the Prince, thus I would be worried. Even though he was just exiled to Mantua, he came back. If I was the Prince I would be so upset, for he killed two of his kinesman. You need to fix this thus now, he is your son; your responsiblity. I thought Romeo would learn his lesson by now. Now the people and the Prince are thus upset more than ever and are ready anytime to punish him. My advice to you would be to fix this before it is too late. People with thus react, not in a good way.
Sincerely,
Citizen of Verona
