I have not read any Shakespeare poetry because, in my opinion, the language is difficult to understand. Although from what I can gather, they do address interesting issues and appear to have a decent storyline. I also haven't seen any of his plays, for a similar reason to his poetry, they're difficult to understand.
I also have not read any of his plays, although I would like to, because the things I've heard about it are very positive, and seem quite interesting. I would also like to see the modern versions of his plays, but I believe they may differ too much to the original, and not get across the message Shakespeare had wanted to portray.
I know a very limited amount about Shakespeare's work, however I would like to learn more about them, and see them too.
I don't know whether or not I'd be interested in being in that play, as I haven't done anything like that before, although I believe it is something to consider.
The reason it is considered bad luck to mention the name of the play Macbeth is because the boy playing Macbeth at its first performance died backstage, and this is regarded as unlucky. Also, whenever an acting company was short on funds, they'd perform Macbeth, because it was a short play and usually did well in the box office. This is associated with hard times and a shortage of funds.

6th entry
1. I believe the author has published More Dangerous Books for Boys because generally males prefer more hands-on activities, and these books seem to be more appealing and involve the reader more so than other books.
2. I believe that, "Readers are the leaders others follow" means that people that read learn more, and that they learn most efficiently and learn the most.
3. I believe teachers, young males and parents interested in their child reading would read this blog. This is because these books are published for young male audience.
4-5. I read 'More Dangerous Books for Boys,' it was advertising some books that the author had written to advertise books for young boys, this is usually because more young males prefer to play sport or video games, over reading.
6. The most appealing part of this blog entry was, "Some of the aspects being promoted about the book include how to tie various knots, to make paper airplanes, or even to build a sort of go-kart," this is because I feel that there's a lack of 'hands-on' books with do it yourself parts.
7. I did not feel obliged to leave a comment, as the author would most likely not have the time to respond, and those sorts of books did not really appeal to me - I believe a younger audience would find them more appealing.
