“Bard in the Classroom Reflection”
on
(The above image is Kate and I, performing an insult activity, though we change our tone to friendship after the insult.)
During the “Bard on the Beach” presentation, I enjoyed the interaction between the performers, Luke and Anton, and the students in the classroom. What I did not enjoy about the presentation was the acting we performed was very repetitive and we could have done more unique things. What I learnt from the presentation is even though Shakespeare may seem tedious, you can make it enjoyable by performing it with facial expression and unique tone. The presentation helped me understand Shakespeare better because the way we performed the play “Much Ado About Nothing,” was very enjoyable, but also very informative. I enjoyed the insult acting because we performed it in two types of tones, harsh and kind. Also, it was very amusing and fun to do. The general premise of the play, “Much Ado About Nothing”, is Don Pedro, with help from Claudio, Leonato, and Hero, plans to bring Benedick and Beatrice together in love through a diverse strategy. I believe that the war between the two is based on their love, which is hiding behind their pride. Shakespeare, had four genres of plays. The genres are romance, comedy, tragedy, and history. The genre of the play, “Much Ado About Nothing,” is comedy. Comedy is well fitted in this play because it combines elements of strong humour with more serious topics such as honor, shame, and pride. The title, “Much Ado About Nothing” has an actual meaning which is “A Lot of Fretting About Gossip.”

Society wanted to take action, since 1853 there wasn’t many railway routes to the Pacific. Society was very ambitious, Palliser asked for a grant of 5,000 Euros and scientific assistants to support the expedition.

Palliser’s impact on society in the prairies was vital. The precise records of the expedition were largely beneficial to Palliser’s colleagues. The idea that there was an expedition, which indicated to American expansionists that the expedition was very attributable to people in the west. The expedition affect to the Prairies was very beneficial; it provided people of the west a possible railway link.
