If Shakespeare Can Do It

So states Prometheus after his discovery of singular pronouns in a world where only the plural forms are permitted, under the threat of execution.

One cannot write thirty-six plays, one hundred and fifty-four sonnets and two long narrative poems if they were ordinary. But unbelievably, William Shakespeare did just that from 1564 – 1616. People have questioning how Shakespeare achieved writing such great pieces of literature, when the behind the scenes story does not add up. There are no records to prove he wrote anything and there is proof someone else did what he took credit for. In my opinion, Macbeth and Titus Andronicus, two of Shakespeare’s plays are strong examples of pieces of literature that was not actually created by Shakespeare. I believe William Shakespeare, the man with

There are more women actively working in equal positions as men. Now a days, there is a more open view that women should be treated as equals. Although the idea has changed drastically from a time period when women were only expected to be housewives, the tradition of using male based language has not changed. The language is not aligned with society. Some feminist groups may argue that people are too close-minded to recognize equality for women in writing. Some linguists may say that it is both grammatically and realistically hard to replace all the masculine pronouns with a new pronoun like “his’er” or phrases like “his or her”. Others just do not care about going through the risk of rewriting every single piece of literature in the world. As Fadiman quotes in her essay, “Either they want to change everything, or they don’t see what all the fuss is about”, people can either completely ban the idea of using masculine pronouns to represent humankind or keep the same tradition although the time has changed

n. They also use the term “I and I” instead of “We” to emphasize the equality between all people, in the belief that the Holy Spirit within all people is what makes us all the same.

Why does he or she refer to himself or herself in the third person? I assume that this is during a time that everyone is equal and that it is unwise to stand out.

They also think that electricity is a gift from above and should only be used at certain moments and ceremonies. In today’s world we are free to use the words I and Me and any other personal pronouns that would indicate any kind of personalization. Although people don’t rebel against it so why change it?

In the book Equality says, “For the word “We” must never be spoken, save by one’s choice and as a second thought. This word must never be placed first within man’s soul, else it becomes a monster, the root of all the evils on earth, the root of man’s torture by men, and of an unspeakable lie.” (Equality 11.15) This quote indicates that Equality doesn’t like that Society. The tone in his voice shows that the word “we” is evil to mankind and doesn’t help men learn individuality. Equality wants men to use “I” because the word “I” is the

But the state 's main weapon against individualism is the crude but effective form of thought control that it practices. The state has forbidden humans from speaking or even thinking of the word "I." Society has mandated, under punishment of death, that all first-person references are with the plural "we," even when the reference is to a single person. Over a period of centuries, the rulers have managed to extirpate all knowledge of the word "I" from the language. All that remains is a vague memory that there is such a thing as an Unspeakable Word — but no one has an inkling that it is the word "I."

Shakespeare’s playwrights and poetry empower people to do great things, prove to serve as living textbooks, and also help educate people. It’s important to experience his works, for they are truly inspirational arts that motivate people to do exceptional things and perhaps break a vicious cycle of corruption. There are many children in the world whose families are living below the poverty line and are in need of something to turn to. In the documentary by Laurence Bridges he showed an emotional story about a highschool girl that was only two weeks away from being inducted into a gang. The girl knew that she wanted to do something better, but needed to turn to something; so she took to Shakespeare. Here, within his works, she found herself and didn’t end up joining the gang. She avoided falling back into the cycle of corruption and violence. Weeks later she went onto help others in her class comprehend Shakespeare 's messages. Shakespeare’s poetry and stories allowed the girl to express herself in a way that he never sought to be possible. Shakespeare 's works got her involved with something that she was passionate about, and provided her with an alternative to violence. Shakespeare has been credited for helping people discover the “real” them. For young adults have shared their experiences about being inspired by the stories and were empowered by the stories to do greater things. His writings act as a vehicle that drive people to success and helps to empower them and

He begins with examples from Early Modern Language. Haussamen explains how changes from”every one” to “everyone” affected the use of “he” and caused a loss in singleness. Furthermore, English has moved away from the use of “man” to favor other generic nouns such as “person.” These changes helped “they” thrive in informal settings. Haussamen then moves away from examples from Early Modern English to Spoken English. These examples, he says, display the differences between “they” and “he” even more clearly. He adds more examples to fully illustrate the differences of “he” and “they” citing works of literature and student writing. In most examples, the reason for picking one pronoun over another is clear and follows the nuances Haussamen previously

In this essay I will be arguing that shakespeare should be taught in High School. In my opinion, I think that William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet in the 9th grade curriculum should be taught because it relates to teenagers during this part of their life as they are going through love, jealously, and etc.. The three topics of which teenagers begin to experience during the beginning of their High School education. As William Shakespeare once said, “Nice and easy does it; those that run too fast will fall”. Just like 9th graders wanting to experience it all too fast without understanding what Shakespeare is trying to get across to the reader. In this paragraph I will show how shakespeare relates to teenagers feeling at this age. In my other paragraph I will be explaining how William became famous all over the world. My third paragraph with be an counter argument.

Timeline of William Shakespeare: Apr 23, 1564. William Shakespeare is born in Stratford upon Avon.

For many, seeking true love is the ultimate form of success. Some people however, must encounter obstacles to find their one and only true lover whom they wish to spend the rest of their lives with. In William Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, two teenagers blinded by love must overcome the feud between their families to eventually marry, and reach their goal to live their lives happily ever after. Sadly enough, Romeo and Juliet are not able to reach their ambition for they are both fatally put to eternal rest. Romeo’s relationship with Juliet is described as moving too quickly can lead to a tragic end.

In my Core Grammar and Writing course, while discussing pronouns, Professor Sykes explained that the legal word trying to move away from the use of gender based pronouns because of the world evolving with

The terms we implies Marshall, but if the context of the speech is unknown, it could be addressing any group of men. In addition, we
