ReplyDeleteYou did an amazing job on translating your story into ‘Shakespearean’. I really like the phrase ‘The present day i did wake up and did clean mine own sleep chamber’ which means you ‘Today I woke up and cleaned my bed.’ It is important to make sure it makes sense when you are writing in Shakespearean and you did an excellent job of this.
Have you ever read any of Shakespeare's material? Or some of the movies made from his material? I would love to know!
Keep up the awesome work.
Cheers,
Georgia
