English how about just conversation?

Smile,, of course I follow John Greenleaf Whittlers fans on FB. Mind it is a while since I found the page even. Just sort of remembered that when I lived in GB I user to like this Poet.
I am so pleased that you are on the same line. Let’s just carry on exchanging lovely ideas.

Btw Skys go and have a look here under poetry, I put in a writer called Fran Landesman I like a lot. She writes as f she has been unhappy etc. but her life in real seemed to have been quiet and I assume happy. If you like have a look.
I could look up another one of hers if you like

Now I'm still curious, who the author is :)
Neither the one nor the other are 100 % convincing me.

In your picture are two sentences more at the end which I've never seen before under the poem - but which is not really a proof for me, too. And one passage i found is now missing, too. Hm.
So I think, with a little more time I probably have to look again to find something what is convincing. But thank you for "your" author - I'm really curious now !

Fran Landesman i didn't know (think so ;) but the poem "love is a rainbow" reminds me very much to a similar poem i know - perhaps i have the same one in mind, i have to look up.

And it reminds me to the problem for Shakespeare (his work and may be his ghost ;), do you have heard of it ?
Because of the law "Don't say gay" in Florida, now they have forbidden some of Shakespear's plays due to some puns and innuendos. So stupid. To destroy the planet on the one hand and to forbid harmles things on the other hand.
 

Hello,

I read a bit of your conversation and enjoyed it. Oh yes, I read about Florida and Shakespeare. I think it is no reason to wonder about it. Religion plays still a big role in the US and on the other hand there are Shakespeare festivals that show America`s love affair with Shakespeare.

What´s going on in some of Florida´s schools (only in a certain district)  this is something quite normal, it reminds me all the discussions about Darwin and his theory about evolution.

Sorry for sneaking in here.

Hello reader and the others,

welcome in our little English box ;)

Well, indeed it was not really such a very big surprise for me - I have already followed the news a long time before and can remember especially one video which was just… horrible !
There are some groups, some are more religious, some are less religious, but the main problem is not the belief in god, I think. It is to deny scientific knowledge, to be racist, to me inhuman and not to respect other creatures and the nature.
 
If you like to see a video about it, this is the one, which I kept in mind:

Bibeltreue Supermacht - Evangelikale in den USA

and here a little note what i had written about before:

"Don't say gay"-Gesetz - Schulbezirk in Florida zensiert Shakespeare

In my opinion the problem is unfortunately not only a certain district in Florida, the problem is, that as you already said, it is quite normal and you can find such things very often. That are just good documented examples.
But as in too many other parts of the world too, the right-wing extremism is spread more and more. They like the humans to be afraid of many things and instead of thinking about solutions they want them only to follow their leaders. It it easier to be afraid and like only one authority instead of discussing and quarrel again and again to find the best solutions.
But I still continue to keep as optimistic as possible ;)

Have a nice day and feel invited to drop in again.

Good morning

Romeo and Juliet in a modern way/language

I remember a school play. Every year at the end of a school year students of all classes performed in a united programme with songs, poems, sketches and music. The students of my son´s class prepared a scene of Romeo and Juliet. They learned about it during their lessons and they also learned about the Shakespeare´s theatre at those times. All characters of a play were played by men. So the students did – only boys acted. My son wanted to be Juliet but he got the role of her mother.

Before that the students had rewritten in groups different scenes and replaced old words with new ones. Then they had chosen the scene for the school programme, talked about the equipment and clothes. So everybody was involved in the play.


Enjoy your day.🌞

Words from Reader  “I wonder why you asked about the place I had been brought up. “
Dear Reader! I am just interested on the verge. As I am Swiss /English I like to talk to other people who have different remembrances.
To be honest I know not a lot about Germany and folks there as the Germans know little about the Swiss…it seems.
On Sunday we will have our Camper packed and go towards Erfurt and Dresden to get to know that area.
It is about time to travel northwards as until now we have always been going towards the south of Switzerland.
Possibly I will not have a chance to have internet too much. So I have to leave the Foren until we get back.
Just take care all of you and look after yourselves.
Love Yoli
