300 Word response for the Shakespeare play on sunday

What an amazing show. To be honest this is my first time watching a Shakespeare play. I was

shocked, because I never thought that a Shakespeare play can be done by only 4 actors in

80 minutes. I was excited when I walked into the theater, it was so dark that I can't even see

my fingers, but the seats were not as good as I expected. I sat at the very last roll, finally the

lights were on, so we put all the focus onto the stage. The first scene seemed to be a little bit

creepy. When the three witches stood out I got surprised, not because it was scary, but the

witches were all boys; I suddenly realized that the play was in Chinese, which made me more

comfortable about it, because I can understand most of the parts, so that I can connect the play

to the textbook I had read in class. I was impressed when I saw them use the dolls to represent

some of the characters, for example lady Macbeth, and Banquo. I think that was a super great

idea, because it can express the kind of feelings that a real person can't do and also save a lot

of cost too! The way they made King Duncan a gigantic doll to magnify his position and show

how people respect him was really a good thought. After the play we had a discussion with

the director. We asked him why all the characters are male? Since lady Macbeth was a very

important role in the play, why they substitute her with a doll? The director told us that in the

early days, Shakespeare play were all acted by male; I found out that was interesting, it is totally

opposite with Taiwanese Operas which were played almost all by girls. I really love this play

and I wish I have more chances to enjoy Shakespeare plays in the future

Super Hero essay~

The movie Spiderman contains Courteous, Truthful, courageous, Loyal, Chaste, and last but not least Honorable.  The reason why I love this movie so much is because, he changed for a nurd to a handsome super hero buy just a tiny bit form the spider.  I really home I can save the world or at least do some thing that is meaningful and useful for someone in the future. 

Spider man was a very nerdy guy in the beginning.  He likes to study science, and he is welling to learn and teach science from others.  He is a student, and he is a very courteous and out going person, he is welling to make friends with everyone.  Once he got bit by a spider while he's doing his study at the lab, he thinks thats nothing but after few days , his life have been changed. 

I think spiderman is a very truthful person, he is very honest with his uncle and friends, I think truthful is they key that he succeed.  That makes me think of at last he promised the police not to date with his daughter, that way she won't get hurt. I like how he kept his promise.

He is a very courageous person, he will keep trying and never give up.  That makes me of when we got injured, he kept trying and never give up, he kept want to save the citizens, that show courage and braveness, with out courageous any thing  can't be done.  I learned from someone in Cambodia that never try never know! 

Spiderman is loyal, he is always on the police's side, he won't be the bad guy just because he's got some super power.  He seem to help every person who is in danger, I like the way he looked at everything, everything seems very important to him even thought thats a stranger.  I believe that loyalty is a very important roll to be a super hero, otherwise others won't believe in you and so that you can't be a hero without their trust! 

Chaste is the best part of human beings.  It shows how cute we are and how wise we are.  Spider man shows that he is chaste by expressing like a book worm inside the movie, basically he has two sides of personality,  First part is to be the super hero, the second part is to be a book worm and stay in the science lab and do some research.  

In spider man it doesn't really show that he is a honorable person, because he is still a high school student.  However others looks at him with honorable respect, I can tell from their reactions that they really appreciate what he had done, and they way he's done it.  Anyways the reason why i like spider man is because he is very smart and kind to others all the time.  I hope I can be like him some day.
