And here's to the English teachers that keep him going...I know we are appreciated sooooooooooo much. ;o)
Let me not to the marriage of true minds...
Was it William who said,"The words he speaks are true- we're all just humanary stew?"
Ummm, not sure. But, upon googling, apparently Alice Cooper did:)
My sophomore year in high school, our lit class had to memorize and present Hotspur's soliloquy accounting to King Henry IV for his battlefield actions.
"My Liege, I did deny no prisoners. But I remember when the fight was done, breathless and faint, and leaning upon my sword..."
No mere recitation, we enunciated and projected. One student hyperventilated and fainted.
And I still think the tavern scene where Prince Hal and his buddies put the lie to Falstaff's exaggerations is a classic.
I played the Moonlighting version of Taming of the Shrew for my [high school] freshman son a few weeks back - he loved it.
Wow, who was your English teacher, Robin Williams circa "Captain, my captain?" Students just don't faint these days.
