My english IV class finally finished the oh so wonderful play Macbeth by William Shakespeare. I know that my class will always remember this play because you mother always made us listen and pay attention no matter how boring it got. Until we watch a little movie that help us better understand Macbeth. Men of Respect like you have mention I wouldn't have made it through Macbeth till we got through Men of Respect. Of corse every teacher knows that every student loves Shakespeare and loves reading, while the truth is that we dread reading and listing to it.
