Hi. My name is Yurika Fujii. I would like to post about Shakespeare. He had lived from 1564 to 1616 in Stratford-upon-Avon. I have ever read some of his plays: “As You Like it,” “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and “The Tempest.” These Three plays are not tragedy, as known for “Romeo and Juliet,” but have humor. For example, in the “A Midnight’s Dream,” couples made to cut across their love by a pixie. It is funny play and makes us be soothed, so I like the work. His comedy plays, except for these two works, there are fifteen plays he wrote. That’s all, thank you.

Gulliver's Travels

Hello. My name is Saki Konagaya. I would like to post about the Gulliver's travel. Jonasan Swift wrote this tale, and it was written in 1726. This story is devided in to four parts, including Japan! I think the story that Gulliver went to Lilliput is the most famous. Lilliput is the country where little people live.

Swift wrote It a metaphor. This story is satire the people and society on the times. Such story is really attractive, I think.
Here are some picture from Gulliver's travel. Thank you.

Hello. I’m Wakana Ishihara. I’d like to post about Shakespeare. I have heard his name and his famous works ever, but I don’t know about his life and history well. April 1564, he was born in England. He married and had three children. He wrote 38 plays and 154 sonnets in his life. I was really surprised at his hard work and thought that I can’t write so many works. I don’t see every these works, but I like the music of the play, “Merchant of Venice”. It is because I have played it by the trumpet. So I’d like to see the movie. I thought he also contributed to the music. I could learn other interesting things in this class. Here is the picture of “Merchant of Venice”. That’s all. Thank you.

Shakespeare

Hello. My name is Yuki Kato. I would like to post about Shakespeare. Shakespeare wrote more than 150 sonnets, and 38 plays in his life time. The genre is various. For instance, comedies, histories, tragedies and romance. The most favorite plays for me is "Hamlet". I read it when I was 15 years old. This story was miserable and I got a impression that he struggled against his true minds. So I considered well about Hamlet's and his character. I think Shakespeare wrote these excellent plays referring his own experiences and his family's memorials. Actually, He had 3 children, but his son named "Hamnet" died at age of 11. Then, I think he was very influenced by his son's death.

Gulliver's Travels

Hello.My name is Kana Tomiyasu. I would like to post about the Gulliver's Travels. It was written by Jonathan Swift and written in 1726. This literature is composed of 4 chapters. The first is a voyage to Lilliput, the second is a voyage to Brobdingnag,the third is a voyage to Laputa the forth is a voyage to the Houyhnhnms. I have heard the story in my childhood, but I didn't remember it. Reading this book again in this class, there are a lot of new discoveries. I couldn't grasp the true meaning of this story when I was child, but now, I can catch the meaning. Gulliver's Travels satirizes on the times of society. Thank you.
