I, Aidan Adams, know all of Romeo and Juliet. I also know Gnomeo and Juliet and instant classic amongst other Shakespeare plays. Shakespeare stole his ideas from other people, end of story.

Romeo and Juliet is one that I’m familiar with. They are held in a high regard because of the way they speak.

Ariana

That’s true.

They do speak in an interesting way.

Ariana

12/5/2018 01:13:54 pm

Romeo and Juliet and Hamlit. I think this is because they have all good morals to them

Emma Dahle

12/5/2018 01:18:32 pm

Not all of his plays have good morals though.

Sammy H.

12/5/2018 01:20:35 pm

This is true.

Chayla

12/5/2018 01:18:56 pm

I agree, some of his stories have good characters with good morals

Aidan

12/5/2018 01:19:02 pm

This is a comment I don’t agree with

Sam

12/5/2018 01:19:50 pm

Yes I agree that they have good morals, if you know what they are talking about.

Eli

12/5/2018 01:14:38 pm

The only one I know is Romeo and Juliet. I have heard of Othelo, and Hamlet. They are held in high regard becaus e they are told well and they have good morals.

Avery

12/5/2018 01:15:43 pm

I’ve ever heard of Othelo.

Ariana

12/5/2018 01:15:49 pm

I agree!

Preston

12/5/2018 01:16:08 pm

Very true

Chayla

12/5/2018 01:19:55 pm

I think the same thing, his stories and plays are very well written

Preston

12/5/2018 01:15:37 pm

Some movies I know are hamlet and Romeo and Juliet. I thinks he is held in high regard because it’s so old and was ahead of its time.

Griffin Mylan

12/5/2018 01:15:46 pm

One very famous play I know from Shakespeare is Romeo and Juliet. He’s held to such a high regard because his plays tell a very good story with many morals. His plays are always made into adaptations because of how famous he is.

Dillon

12/5/2018 01:17:09 pm

I agree griffin. His stories have very good morals.

Aidan Adams

12/5/2018 01:18:38 pm

I, Aidan Xavier Adams of the Adams residency, say this is it.

Blazen

12/5/2018 01:19:21 pm

I agree, his stories do have good morals.

Sammy H.

12/5/2018 01:21:25 pm

I can agree with this.

Johnny

12/5/2018 01:23:32 pm

He was very famous and successful and still is. It is easy to see why they make movies and adaptations to his work.

Dillon

12/5/2018 01:15:49 pm

One play I’m familiar with is Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare’s plays tell great stories. They are interesting to watch and teach people life lessons.

Eli

12/5/2018 01:17:20 pm

I agree with you a lot.

Griffin Mylan

12/5/2018 01:17:36 pm

I had some similar views.

Avery

12/5/2018 01:17:54 pm

Good answer

Caden Caywood

12/5/2018 01:21:31 pm

I agree with the morals of them.

Tierryn

12/5/2018 01:16:16 pm

I know Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, and Julius Caesar. He invented words and almost an entire language just so his plays would flow nicely, legend behavior.

Emma Dahle

12/5/2018 01:19:14 pm

He is a legend.

Jordan

12/5/2018 01:20:16 pm

I agree.

Jaicei

12/5/2018 01:21:00 pm

I agree

Sammy H.

12/5/2018 01:22:47 pm

True legend right here.

Jamie

12/5/2018 01:24:03 pm

“ Legend behavior “ I like that :)

Johnny

12/5/2018 01:16:41 pm

Like almost everyone here, I’m familiar with Romeo and Juliet. I’m also familiar with hamlet, a midsummer night dream, and Mc Beth. His plays are not only very well written but they also have a very powerful message most the time.

Sam

12/5/2018 01:17:09 pm

Some of the Shakespeare plays I am familiar with are Hamlet, Othello, Romeo and Juliet. These plays are important because they are intelligently written and have good meanings.

Dillon

12/5/2018 01:18:17 pm

You are right Sam. They are very intelligently written.

Treygan

12/5/2018 01:20:08 pm

I’ve never heard of Othello

Miriam

12/5/2018 01:17:40 pm

I am familiar with Romeo and Juliet. I have heard of others but our not familiar with their stories. He was a very famous writer and was know to always talk in proper English. His stories are known for being a romance , comedy or a tragedy. Those qualities seem to always make a good topic for movies and are interesting to the veiwers. This is why Shakespeare is well known.

Tierryn

12/5/2018 01:19:00 pm

Skinny legend from beyond the grave.

Brooke

12/5/2018 01:22:40 pm

I agree with you

Sammy H.

12/5/2018 01:24:31 pm

Would it be proper English all the time? I do agree though

Emma Dahle

12/5/2018 01:17:46 pm

I’m familiar with Romeo and Juliet, and Hamlet. Skakespear held such a high regard because he started writing when he was young and continued writing till death. They are frequently produced because it is some of the best literature from that era.

Jordan

12/5/2018 01:21:04 pm

He is a legend

Blazen Burgess

12/5/2018 01:17:47 pm

I’m familiar with Romeo and Juliet. I think they are produced frequently because he is such a good producer. I also think it’s becuse there’s a lot you can take out of his plays.

Will

12/5/2018 01:24:49 pm

There is a lot you can take out of the stories, great thinking.

Lani Belgarde

12/5/2018 01:18:05 pm

I am familiar with Romeo and Juliet and I’ve also heard about Hamlet and Macbeth.

Taija

12/5/2018 01:19:39 pm

I’ve never heard of Macbeth

Jaicei

12/5/2018 01:22:05 pm

I’ve heard of Hamlet also

Chayla

12/5/2018 01:18:12 pm

Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and Hamlet are all plays written by Shakespeare that I’m somewhat familiar with. I think his plays are still well known because what they were about are still relevant today. The issues he based his plays around are still issues that we as a society continue to have.

Treygan

12/5/2018 01:24:17 pm

I’ve never thought about that and the problems still being around

Taija

12/5/2018 01:18:25 pm

Romeo and Juliet is one of the plays I’m familiar with. I think he is held at such a high regard because they have good morals and the story’s are told good.

Jaicei

12/5/2018 01:18:38 pm

I’m familiar with Romeo and Juliet just because we did it last year in English. I think people hold him in such a high regard because he made up his own words and put some real thought into the words he was writing.

Tierryn

12/5/2018 01:19:34 pm

He did.

Jamie

12/5/2018 01:25:23 pm

Nice. :)

Treygan

12/5/2018 01:18:47 pm

Romeo and Juliet and midsummer night dream. He was one of the first very sophisticated writers of plays and many people liked his creativity and his eye opening plays and poems.

Taija

12/5/2018 01:20:29 pm

I have never heard of midsummer night dream

Caden Caywood

12/5/2018 01:19:08 pm

One Shakespeare play I know is Romeo and Juliet. I think his plays became so famoused and are still being used today because it really showed true love in it. Even though Shakespeare most likely stole the ideas for his plays, it was still very well written.

Jaicei

12/5/2018 01:22:55 pm

Famoused

Will

12/5/2018 01:23:50 pm

Nice thinking, although I don’t think they are about true love

Taylee Matthews

12/5/2018 01:19:21 pm

I’m only familiar with the book Romeo and Juliet. I think he held a high reputation because of the morals of the stories. The stories also have life lessons in them.

Faith

12/5/2018 01:21:14 pm

I completely agree

Miriam

12/5/2018 01:22:13 pm

The life lessons from his stories are needed.

Brooke

12/5/2018 01:23:40 pm

I agree he had a high reputation

Jordan

12/5/2018 01:19:26 pm

Romeo and Juliet is a common one, there is Othello, Hamlet, Macbeth, Julius Ceaser, and others. They are held in such high regard because they are well written and have good morals.

Sammy H.

12/5/2018 01:19:32 pm

I am familiar with Romeo and Juliet and I am familiar with his style of writing. It is unique and can be interpreted in many different ways.

Jordan

12/5/2018 01:22:20 pm

Yeah. I wish I could write like that

Brooke

12/5/2018 01:19:32 pm

What I’m familiar with is Romeo and Juliet. I think he was at a high regard because because it teaches things about life that nobody thought about. His words show passion and excitement so people were happy about it.

Miriam

12/5/2018 01:23:11 pm

i Agree that his work always had passion

Faith

12/5/2018 01:20:23 pm

I am familiar with Romeo and Juliet. I think he is in such high regard because his work has meaning and emotion in all of his words. People now days like how things were done back then.

Taylee Matthews

12/5/2018 01:22:26 pm

I agree with that faith

Jamie

12/5/2018 01:20:34 pm

I’m familiar with Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Otheleo and Macbeth. The boy Shakesphere is so well know across eras because of the tragedy’s and usually romantic plays he made. The articulation, and the primary theme behind his stories are what draws readers in.

Will

12/5/2018 01:21:49 pm

I am familiar with Romeo and Juliet. Reading Shakespeare for the first time last year, I had adapt to his writing styles and word choice. This why I think he is still so famous to this day and also his ability to create stories.
