I wrote this poem for the whole world to hear how we as African Americans have been feeling for centuries. Take a look and retweet EVERYONE NEEDS TO HEAR THIS ✊🏾

@chrisperezlit @gill_aplit And then he will probably see Edmund’s deceit to him and his father and (this is my dream) try to be clever in out-smarting Edmund as Tom #laylit19

[Bella Ruiter @bellit_ruiter]

@gracelit1 Kent sees him as a type of father figure - he even said that to him before he was banished - so Lear probably took him in when he was needed someone #laylit19

[Bella Ruiter @bellit_ruiter]

@gracelit1 I mean knowing Shakespeare, most likely 😂 #laylit19

[Bella Ruiter @bellit_ruiter]

@JanicheLit I find the way the play is read to be very unreactive and the characters apathetic to what is actually happening - except when Lear completely insults someone. The showings we watch really illuminate the possibilities of emotion, and the director gets to make the choice #laylit19

[Bella Ruiter @bellit_ruiter]

@amiraalit_ @cindyliulit Having also seen “Much Ado About Nothing” I believe Shakespeare has a tendency to like conflicts that stem from misunderstandings. In King Lear, Edmund uses misunderstandings very purposely, and in other plays they occur often at the center of conflict #laylit19

[Bella Ruiter @bellit_ruiter]

@cindyliulit Yeah, Claudius seemed confused and conflicted half of the time about what he did and was quite obvious about his guilt (the play). Edmund is much more interesting a character because he uses peoples’ assumptions against them #laylit19

[Bella Ruiter @bellit_ruiter]

The fool is definitely my favorite character - he has such a wisdom and intelligence within his acts and his portrayal in the film we watched today was also adorably hilarious #laylit19

[Bella Ruiter @bellit_ruiter]

I have so much pity for the King - his experiences are just pitiful and depressing #laylit19

[Bella Ruiter @bellit_ruiter]

@JanicheLit I do like that these girls are calluding against their father TOGETHER - usually girls are seen to be rivals and competitive - just remember Lucetta and EJ - but this is a nice refreshing alliance, even though they’re pretty devious #laylit19

[Bella Ruiter @bellit_ruiter]

@BuzzoniTeresa It totally reminded me of the same thing - I actually really like that because it makes Shakespeare so much more human #laylit19

[Bella Ruiter @bellit_ruiter]

I already like Kent a lot because of his unconditional loyalty and faith in his service to the king - it’s refreshing #laylit19

[Bella Ruiter @bellit_ruiter]

@JanicheLit This is why I love poetry so muchhhhh
It’s fun to explore the different layers and the hearts of the poets #laylit19

[Bella Ruiter @bellit_ruiter]

@lindsey_lit I LOVED Where the Sidewalk Ends (the book) by Shel Silverstein - my go-to whenever I couldn’t sleep as a kid #laylit19

[Bella Ruiter @bellit_ruiter]

I found this poem and I think a lot of students can relate to it - but maybe it’s just me
Let me know, I’m super curious

[Bella Ruiter @bellit_ruiter]

Out of all the poems I loved “Palling Around.” It showed a real sense of vulnerability and intense emotion the speaker was feeling in listening to the silence after confronting death. I thought it was quite beautiful. #laylit19
