What was explained in this chapter? What about this chapter was interesting to you?
*Explain for Each* Chapter 6: "To Hold Up A Mirror To Nature" This was a very interesting chapter about how Shakespeare alone made our environment what it is. To me this chapter was very confusing, but the main point that I got was that Shakespeare while knowing as much as us changed the way we live today. I found it amazing how one person with just one play can change how life is. It also brings out how in a lot of his plays the people think that they are invincible. I found this chapter one of the hardest to understand. I feel that it can be interpreted in many different ways. Chapter 7: "Give Me My Robe, Put On My Crown" This chapter talks about how Shakespeare in politics is very interesting. It is very weird how he wasn't involved in politics, but yet most politicians can quote a line or two from Shakespeare's plays. It also talks about how just because you know Shakespeare doesn't make you good. I will touch on that in the next paragraph. Overall this chapter shows how not only is Shakespeare all sunshine, and rainbows, but he is actually very inappropriate in his writings. I found it interesting, and kind of scary how in 1936 Hitler showed Shakespeare's plays more than any other time period. Also how communists rose him up to be seen a a great thinker. This chapter shows how Hitler isn't only an idol to the "Common People", but because of some of the things he said that for example discriminated the Jews was seen by people who aren't seen as a Hero. I will be commenting on Elisabeth's and Alex's Dp's.

Every time I read your "How Shakespeare Changed Everything" blog I learn something new. I really like how you connect Shakespeare to history in each of your blogs. It gives the reader something to connect to. I also like how you shared your perspective of chapter six even though you were a little confused. "I found this chapter one of the hardest to understand. I feel that it can be interpreted in many different ways." Overall, great job!
