Deca Graders

Shakespearean Time
by: Rocio Cardenas

The Sophomores are currently reading Shakespeare's A Midsummer's Night Dream as a class! This play has four themes: Tangled Lovers, Fairies, Royalty, and the mechanic workers. The best part though is that the class gets to act out the scenes! Karina said that she, Yaritza and Yvette are performing scenes about the tangled lovers, which are Hermia, Helena, Lysander and Demetrius. This is a tangled love triangle because the couples fall in love with each other because Puck, a silly almost annoying character, gave Demetrius and Lysander potions, but mixed them up and caused each to fall in love with the wrong girl. Lysander and Demetrius fall in love with Hermia. Helena is in love with Demetrius. Hermia is in love with Lysander. Oh what a mess!
Once the sophomores finish the book, Ms. Gebel and the sophomore class will be attending the play at Navy Pier. Have fun Sophomores!
