Horatio- talking about Hamlet’s sulky behavior
I am very worried about my best friend Hamlet. His father has passed away and now, less than two months later, his slimy uncle Claudius has married his poor mother. Hamlet seems depressed and I have to help him get through this! It is my duty. Last night we saw a ghost of old king Hamlet! It was unbelievable... I tried my best to stop Hamlet from following the ghost but he was so insistent. Marcellus and I followed Hamlet but it took us a while to find him and by that time, the Ghost was gone. We were both interested in what the ghost of Old King Hamlet said to Hamlet but he would not reveal the secret. Hamlet made us swear that we would not tell anyone about the ghost that we saw. He also stated that he is going to act mad from now on so he can trick the others into thinking he has gone psychotic. The whole time we were talking to Hamlet about this, the Ghost would periodically yell ‘SWEAR’ it was very intimidating. Hamlet is at a very unstable state right now just like an unweeded garden. He was not allowed to go back to school, his father died and now he is listening to a ghost! My friend is feeling very melancholy and I hope that the poor soul will find closure within the ghost’s secret words.
Jenna, great job including really specific information. It shows your knowledge well. Keep up the great work. Next time, try to include a media (like a pic or vid) and include a hyper link. For example, on the "swear" portion of your post, link to something that discusses the value of oaths or promises. Well done.
