Hello Again

I am back, and this time the sun is shinning! In class today, we continued to watch Hamlet. I also handed in my draft. It was a mess, but at least I have something written down that I can work with. At this point I am starting to get sick of Hamlet. It seems to be all I can think about at times. My thoughts, however, are starting to make sense. I will see what I can do on my paper this afternoon.
After class today, Holly and I stayed a minute to talk with Ms Frailly. She helped me understand more to the layout of the assignment. Apparently my thesis statement is my opinion on the play, and not what Shakespeare is trying to say and my opinion on it. This makes matters a whole lot easier. I really did not know how I was going to fit it all in there. I also noticed that when I was trying to write in that focus I went off in a whole lot of rabbit trails.
With this in mind, here is my focus; I believe Hamlet did over set the bounds of his destiny as well as others. Whether or not Shakespeare meant to show it, the consequences of his actions is seen in the end of the play by the deaths of those closest to him. It is all very sad.
