Story 4: Tuiius CaesarAt number 4 is one of Shakespeare's history plays -JuliusCaesar.

The Elizabethan playwright Ben Jonson said thatShakespeare knew litde Latin and less Greek. In otherwords he wasn't very well educated in Stratford.

So how could Shakespeare write plays about greatRomans like Julius Caesar if he couldn't read the Latinhistories? The answer is that he read translations fromthe Latin into English. Then he changed the history tosuit his plays!

For example, Julius Caesar was murdered on March15th, buried on the 17th and his nephew, Octavius,arrived in Rome two months later. In Shakespeare's playJulius Caesar these things aU happen on March 15th.The play is more exciting because things seem to happenmore quickly. Great theater, terrible history!

The real "hero" of Julius Caesar is in fact Brutus. Asin most tragedies most of the leading characters die. IfBrutus had left a suicide note then it might haverevealed this story to us .

.-uKtDid you know .. .Shakespeare didn't just change historical events tosuit the action. He also made careless mistakes aboutRoman life and didn't seem to care.In Julius Caesar:. Shakespeare's characters wore hats, cloaks and

doublets just as the Elizabethan audience did, BUT... the Romans would have worn togas!

. Shakespeare's Brutus fmck the page of a book thathe has marked, BUT ... the real Brutus wouldhave read from a parchment scroll.

. Shakespeare's Brutus listens to the clock chiming |the hours, BUT .. . chiming clocks would not be,invented for another 1,500 years!

Top Facts 4: Who wroteShakespeare?Shakespeare wrote about great Roman characters likeJulius Caesar, Mark Antony and Coriolanus. He alsowrote wonderful poetry. Over the years since Shakespeare'sdeath, some academics and professors believed chat aglover's son from Stratford could not have had the brainsor the education to write these plays.

Someone else wrote them, they claim, and then stuckthe name of a simple actor on the play. The actor wasWilliam Shakespeare, but the real writer of the plays wassomeone else. Who?

A priest called the Reverend James Wilmot startedthe trouble about a hundred years after the death ofShakespeare. The Rev. went to Stratford to investigateold records. He couldn't find any letters by Shakespeare,any books owned by him, or any mentions of"Shakespeare the play writer" by other Stratford peopleof the time. Wilmot also couldn't believe that a glover'sson like Shakespeare could go on to become a favorite ofa queen and a king. He started the suspicion thatShakespeare's plays weren't written by WilliamShakespeare.

Three Paragraph Review - Example

The author of the story is John S+ienbeck. This novel was a good pieceof writing because the main characters always got in+o figh+s. The bestpart of the novel was when Lennie crushed Curly's hand. Curly had itcoming +o him because he was always picking on Lennie. Lennie was themost in+eres+ing charac+er because he always nice to everybody andliked to have pets. The dialogue fit the characters because they sworea+ each other which made their arguments seem real.

The most impor-^nt character is Lennie because, he was always 9e++inginto trouble. This ccused George a lot of headaches, because he'wasalways Qc+tmg hwi out of trcubfe. The best scene of the novel was inthe barn where LeA^e and Curl's wife were talking. Yes the s+ory iseasy +o foii'ow becau^s it is short and there are only a couple ofcharacters that you hwe +o remember'. I was surprised a+ whathappened at the end of the novel, I didn't see that coming.

I would rzconm^d Of Mice and Men +o everybody. Others should readit becau???. charact^ .<; get in+o figh+s and the language that is used isreal, not cme fwy \'de r)isney version of how people fight. I wouldn'tchange c.nyfhing, except maybe the ending, although theending doesn'tleave yo'j wcndcr^g i^hot happens to Lennie.

Three Paragraph Review

Follow this outline:

Paragraph One - Give the name of the author of the s+ory. Saywhether you think J+ is or isn't a good piece of writing. What is thebest part? Why? What makes each impor+ant character in+eres+ing?t^oes the dialogue fit the characters?

3-5 sentences

PQTQQF^ Two -Who is -ihe most important character? Why? What isthe be^t cene? Is the story easy +o foiiow? Is the ending satisfying?Where in the story is -l-he best action, description, or dialogue?Support your cp. nio^ w;ih a few examples from the story

3-5 S r^ei\ces

Paragmph Three - Coridude wi+h your recommenda+ion. Explain why youthink ;+ ,s of isn't oni&Tharsg o+hers shouid read. If you were +o suggestone change that . i .h& &uthor should make, what would i+ be? What wouldyou ra+e this novef? Why?
