William Shakespeare Journal Entry

The great William Shakespeare lived during a time of many noted and influential people such as Pocahontas, King James I, and Sir Walter Raleigh. Even though Pocahontas was born during the later years of Shakespeare’s life, interesting correlations exist between the playwright and the Indian princess. King James I of England wrote about witches, which gave some background information for Shakespeare’s Tragedy of Macbeth. As the special guest of Queen Elizabeth I, it is likely that Sir Walter Raleigh watched some of Shakespeare’s plays presented at court. The daughter of a Native American chief, the King of England, and the famous explorer, all lived and gained notoriety during the lifetime of William Shakespeare.

William Shakespeare was born to John Shakespeare and Mary Arden, a shoemaker and a daughter of an affluent farmer in 1564. He was born on April 23, and baptised two days later. William attended the local grammar school, the King's Scchool. He was born and lived in a smal town called Stratford-upon-Avon about 100 miles west of London. Shakespeare had three younger brothers and two older sisters. Shakespeare never attended University. Because of the lack of records of when Shakespeare was a child,some people question his existence.

This is the sound of the prisoners anger and defiance. As i walk through this prison i see anger, depression this prison shows the anger these prisoners can show. I walk through trying not to be notice, any sign of weakness and they will all feed off it. I stick to what i need to do I don't try to make friends or enemies in here because i know both will turn on me. I feel that people here are planning something these whispers of a break out are being spread. Something about breaking his brother out before he executed. I'm usually not in tune with whats going on here, rumours always spread like wildfire around here. I try to stick to what i

I took a moment to absorb my surroundings. An unbearable silence occupied the room. The only thing that could be heard was dripping coming from a leak in the roof that streamed down onto a puddle on the floor. This place has become unbearable, and it’s starting to get extremely strenuous surviving here, but escape would be impossible. The last person who accompanied me in this place always talked about it, he would spend restless nights obsessing over every inch of the tiny room. Taking down notes and measurements on a scrap of toilet paper, using a pencil he had managed to sneak in past the initial weapons check. He thought he had it all figured out. On the third night I awoke to a part of the wall missing, my cellmate was gone but outside I could hear shouting and gunshots. Quickly I gathered this was the night all his planning had lead up to. Unfortunately he had underestimated the capability of our captors, and that was the last I saw of him. I spend my time sitting in the corner of the room alternating from wondering if I will be set free, or just killed. I know too much now, seen too much. I’m nothing but a loose end to these people, they have no reason to keep me alive. If I was released…what then? Could I really face going home, could I live with what I have done? All those lives lost because of my incompetence. Good

When imprisoned and told he has a visitor, he assumes that it is the Creature come to torment him further. He chooses to put his “ hand before [his] eyes” and cries out “‘Oh! Take him away! I cannot see him; for God's sake, do not let him enter!’” (170).

William Shakespeare is accredited to writing thirty-eight plays, sonnets, and five other poems. It is believed that he was born in the Shakespeare dwelling on Henley Street, Stratford-upon-Avon, England. His birth date is widely assumed but, the actual date was not recorded as British births were not registered and birth certificates were not manufactured. Shakespeare was born to John and Mary, as the third child of the residence. Joan and Margaret, the two previous children died tragically of the Bubonic Plague. As his grandfather was a farm produce seller, his family was in constant state of danger of the Bubonic Plague. Shakespeare wed Anne Hathaway on November 28, 1582, in Worchester. Hathaway was pregnant during this wedding, and their first child Susanna was born May 26, 1583. Two years later, Hathaway delivered twins named Hamnet and Judith. Hamnet later died of the Bubonic Plague at the age of eleven. After the twins were born, there were seven years

Everything is pitch black. I am pressed up hard against my peers in this moving enclosure and have been for what feels like a lifetime. I can hardly breathe and the heat is almost unbearable. The stench of death is penetrating, filling me entirely. Suddenly, light pours from outside blinding me, I am shoved and kicked by men, who maneuver me out of my previous prison. I realise that I am free, and begin to run forward, only to collapse as my legs and lungs cannot cope after standing for so long. I am herded into yet another dark and crowded enclosure with my peers, my heart begins to race with panic, and I try to resist, squealing and thrashing around. The cruel men from earlier reappear and poke me with what I assume is a stick, but it sends shockwaves through me, rendering me unable to move. Little did I know that that would be the last time I would move. Little did I know that my death could contribute to the destruction of a planet. You are probably thinking, ‘What is this? Some cruel form of torture in a medieval prison?’ I hate to tell you, no, it is not.

Is William Shakespeare really a Renaissance Man? I believe Shakespeare was a Renaissance man, he wrote many famous plays. I'm sure everyone has heard of Romeo and Juliet, a love story between two people who could never be together because of family issues, which was written by William Shakespeare. Shakespeare is considered a Renaissance Man because he was a talented writer, he was very knowledgeable which showed in his plays. Shakespeare did have a few disadvantages along the way. Many disagree that Shakespeare shouldn't be given the title as the Renaissance Man. People do not see his potential as a writer, because of his lacking background. Because Shakespeare’s school caught on fire, the school lost most of his records.

Christopher Marlowe or De vere could have been the author of Shakespeare's carrier. There is a controversy over the existence of William Shakespeare. In the article , “Was William shakespeare just a pseudonym”. Henry James once stated “I am… haunted by the conviction that the divine William is the biggest and most successful fraud ever practice on a patient world.”.

When thinking of a significant and influential writer the words articulate, creative, and intellectual come to mind.

Approximately around April 23rd, 1564 in Strafford-upon-Avon one of the greatest poets, playwrights, and writers was born.
