William Shakespeare
Thoughts: I think that the plays that were written and preformed by Shakespeare were good but some of them were really dramatic like Romeo and Juliet or Hamlet they were like oh you died oh I died oh he died it is really dramatic but I liked the magic island one it was really really fun I am considering reading it because also it made me smile a bit I recommend it even if I haven’t read it.

He had three child, one named Susanna and two twins Hamnet and Judith. And Hamnet died at age 11 and no one knew why. And he was then missing but he arrived in London and he was recognized from his great acting. First he was known in the act named Lord Chamberlain’s men and when people saw that the play was going to be preformed by Shakespeare they knew it was going to be great. And in the globe theater he became a very whealthy man by doing more and more plays. In his whole life he did exactly 37 plays of different things like Romeo and Juliet or Hamlet.
