Last Papers

I know this will be a major disappointment to some, but this is the last major entry for the school year which will include major amounts of student sentences.  Major bummer, right.  By the way, my students think that “major” is a good adjective or adverb for just about anything.  I think they are majorly wrong.  As always, my comments are in (  ).

 - Characters display their impulsive feelings more then what they really want out of true love.  (Go figure.)                                                                                                                                                     

- Lady Bracknell has relationship feelings for him.

- Shakespeare has written enough literature to keep people talking for hundreds of years.  (So you’re saying he can stop writing now?)

- Hamlet doesn’t do anything that he could from.

- A play wrote by William Shakespeare, which he never talked about just put on as a play for entertainment.

- Hamlet doesn’t want to make more faults in something that already has a fault in it.  (A good philosophy, I guess.)

- Shakespeare’s Hamlet is a play that can be interpreted in several ways.  (Just several, though.  Not a lot, not a major amount.)

- … his father past away.

- Hamlet is partly worried about the immortality of killing.

- The Shakespearean play Hamlet, written by William Shakespeare…  (As opposed to the ones written by?)

- Women of that time period would not show their feelings of that time period.

- Hamlet was one of the most controversial plays ever wrote by Shakespeare.

- Hamlet went insane and decided to have this madness upon people that was out of control and crazy.  (And I went insane reading that sentence.)

- (Two students wrote the following word for word.)  Hamlet doesn’t know what will happen to his sole if he does commit suicide.  (Depends on how holy his shoes are!)

- Hamlet argues amongst himself.  (In a strange way this makes perfect sense.)

- The American Dream is achieved by happiness.

- He ended up dead and alone.  (To be dead is bad enough, but to also be alone!)

- Finny is the epiphany of a Christ figure.

- In this poem grammar laws aren’t follow.  (Nor are they in that sentence.)

- It’s complete random crap, that’s how I know it’s modernism.  (I mostly agree.)

- If Finny had survived, he wouldn’t have lived.  (Which would have made surviving pointless.)

- (This was the last sentence of a paper.)  That was the moral f this year and what I have learned about literature, that sometimes the gloomy man with a pen is right, the world really can suck.

Well said!  Another entry is coming soon; in fact, I already typed it up.  Stay tuned.
