Shakespeare: Taming of the Shrew

I enjoyed participating in this workshop it was a good break from working on our computers, and it was also a good way for our class to bond. I learned that the title of the the story makes sense because a shrew means a wild animal that is hard to tame. Before I learned anything about this story I thought a Shrew was a type of mushroom so now everything makes way more sense. I learned that the story is about two sisters and one is really nice and one is mean. The father won’t let the youngest daughter get married until the older daughter gets married. There are lots of men who want to marry the youngest daughter and not many who are willing to marry the oldest daughter because she is hard to tame. When the oldest daughter gets married her husband locks her up and doesn’t feed her because he is trying to tame her.
