Almost a week has past since I read Hemingway's A Movable Feast for my memoir review. A friend of mine commented on the fact that his writing reads as how many people sound when they talk. It brought me to think about the concept of individuals putting unnecessary words into speech. For example, "Like, there are, like, um, four of them over, like there." Funny. Isn't it funny how, if you were to take the way you speak and write it out, it is most likely to be cringe-worthy material? I can assure you mine would be filled with a lot of backspacing and striking through as I replace a previously said statement with a newer, more relevant one. Begs the question on how human speech seems more relaxed than that of writing. Granted, writing (texting) can also be relaxed and just as cringing to watch.
Moving on, the Shakespeare unit has begun and I can say I'm already in a state of chaos. I haven't quite found the time to read the whole play in chronological order and am now just cherry picking the segments of the play I require for the unit work (Sorry Miss...). However, what I've read so far has been comical and very entertaining to read in a hurry. It was easy to understand in a sense. at least, easier than that of Merchant of Venice. I look forward to actually sitting down and reading this play along with Othello later in the summer.
Adieu.
