Well after reading the second Midsummer Night's Dream I was kinda thinking "What just happened." I thought it was very weird and honestly I don't even know if I am understanding it the right way. I took it as the real characters coming to watch humans perform their life, and Peaseblossom got pissed and wanted to play him self so he kills his character, and then puts a vex which may mean hex on the rest of the cast. It was also very clever that the Will Shekespear was the writer of the play and his sons name was Hamnet. I may be taking this whole work the wrong way, but if it happend the way I think it happened then I thought it was funny.
I don't think that turning the play into a comic destroyed it at all. Wouldn't it be the same as turning the writing into a movie. Some of the text is taken out to create the movie, and this is just a shorter and a changed version.

Act 1 Scene 1- Helena
In Helena's last part before scene 2 she is talking about Demetrius falling in love with Hermia. She doesn't understand why he loves her because she thinks she that she is just as pretty as Hermia. She is talking about love, and how it can be blind. I think Helena can't get over Demetrius and it's driving her nuts that he has already moved on. I don't know much about the story line, but I do know that they (Demetrius and Helena) were once engaged, but he left her after meeting Hermia. I thought this was interesting because it was her feelings on what had happened. Even thought I didn't understand everything she was saying it sounded very pretty. I don't really understand the language that they use in this play, so I wouldn't be able to tell you if it was used effectively.

Midsummer Nights Dream
To be completely honest I didn't understand any of this play. I attempted to read it, and I spent about an hour on the first page, and I still didn't know what was going on. I then tried to watch the play, which was even worse. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone got out of this play since I don't have much of anything to say. Sorry I can't add anything, but Shakespeare totally confuses me.

Thesis for paper 2
My main idea is What does it mean to be an American?
I think that to be an american you only have to live in America...or call America your home
the color of your skin, your religion, your beliefs shouldn't affect whether or not you are an American.
i am doing multi-genre
