as a high schooler, this is totally what I want to learn, so thank you literature teacher. Also thanks for making this assignment due in 2 hours. I really appreciate it.
@@ellenmarch3095 honestly, i think the school should focus more on creativity and individuality more than being forced to learn about how other people are creative. even if it sounds childish, maybe do small projects involving our own creative writing skills or 'make your own play' type thing that gets creativity flowing instead of worksheets that no one is interested in doing. involving these types of small fun activities help me learn and get to be involved more than sheets of homework that are just all questions that you can just listen to the answer for. because that way, with homework, it doesnt really get you active on the subject, more just bored or aggravated at it.

My teacher made me watch this and write about “why we should read Shakespeare” like bruh this didn’t talk about why we should.. guess imma bs this paper...🤩🥳🤗🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
@@jl_culwell fair enough, im just tired of him being called the greatest writer or whatever there are so many beautiful poets in thousand of languages out there that werent written for queens entartainment
What a brilliant performance! Sonnet 18 is one of the very few poems I know by heart, and I have never thought of it as a eulogy before. Makes so much sense. Heartbreaking, but I love it even more now.
still watching after seven years, as a parent who also has close friends who have lost their children, to know that Sonnet 18 may have been a eulogy; it is a very soothing and thoughtful salve.
Unbelievably Superb! Outstanding! I wish to listen to this wonderful artist, actor and dramatist all day. I love this theatrical creator, voice over and Brilliant Shakespearean Scholar. You are an outstanding Orator. I have listened already three times and still, can sit, stand, kneel, clap, learn and then listen all over again and yet again and again! I loved you💪🏼I am but speechless!
Hey 9th graders! Online school tough, can't believe I spent my first year of high school online, I was so excited to go to a new school, and new everything, but here I am. 10th grade will kinda be like my first day of in-person high school.
With that wisdom and diction Christopher Gaze could have started a religion, with Shakespeare being likened to a prophet... Thank you for rekindling the bard in us, thank you for keeping him omnipresent, yet human.
"Grief fills the room up of my absent child; Lies in his bed ,walks up and down with me. Puts on his pretty looks,repeats his words, Remembers me of all his gracious parts..." From King John. The man who wrote that felt the loss of his child. He can still feel his presence, grief stricken with the loss he expresses it in the way he can do best . And down the ages we feel that pain and pray we never have to go through it. And through that expressed grief we remember Hamnet and his father .
I hadn’t read that speech before so I looked it up and it made me cry. It’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever read and I can’t believe it isn’t more popular.
The all-devouring fire of burning lust The joy of youth, the pain of getting old The truth that man one day must come to dust There's nothing in his sonnets left untold. I am trying to write a sonnet about William Shakespeare, and this is the first quatrain.
I definitely plan to use this in my class. I am teaching a poetry unit prior to reading Romeo and Juliet, one aspect of which focuses on the Shakespearean sonnet. Students read both Sonnet 18 and Sonnet 130, then wrote their own. I think they would love this. It's great because it highlights 2 important things: that Shakespeare is very relevant today and that poetry can delight our imaginations. Not to mention, it adds the element of drama. Love it.
Tracy Gamache You might want to read Hank Whittemore’s book “100 reasons Shake-Speare was the Earl of Oxford” for real insight into the biographical meaning behind the works. It opened a whole new world of meaning behind many obscure passages.
"A hard days night," indeed! Good work Christopher. We loved it. What better way to 'discuss' Shakespeare than to perform it. Brilliant! Michael and Edith
A great and learned orator! I am so thrilled by his view about that sonnet and now feel that, yes, Shakespeare might have written it for his departed son Hamnet.
A lovely presentation, Christopher, especially Sonnet 18 and the Richard III speech. The "quoting Shakespeare" section at the beginning was written by Bernard Levin, the English journalist and author, who was also a big Shakespeare fan.
My rich banker friend quoted Shakespeare all the time along with Cicero and Homer. I did not understand the Latin and Greek parts but he said a classical education was the best training for modern banking, commerce and industry. He died a very rich man but I was a flake and did not listen. Now I realize that the tools of intelligence are language and while schools can teach functions they cannot teach intelligence as the recent failure of the bankers has proven. He was also a great charmer and charmed the panties off many beautiful women though he was short and stout. There is more to it than they taught me when I was a boy but I was not intelligent enough to realize it.
Sometimes many of us may wonder what people will remember of us when we are gone, and of course one could imagine the same of a country. The British , a small group of rain on islanders, built the largest empire in the history of the world, they were the first people to invent an entirely new economic system known as industrialisation, they and their progeny have to date been the most inventive people in modern times. Now readers, before you condemn me for lack of modesty, I once heard an interview on BBC radio 4, the question discussed was what would Britain be remembered for if the country ended, and he replied “our literature” and so it is , the pen is indeed mightier than the sword. Don’t forget Shakespeare , the greatest gift of these islands to the world, and now in your possession, and yours.
and how much you will learn from that poetically dramatically that person is awesomely of all his biographical information stories of his life is. that guy is educationally informative.
WHOOPS. He read Sonnet 18 powerfully except he messed it up, it's "shake the darling buds of May," not "break the darling buds of May," and I think he knows he messed up because he pauses after "darling," like "oh man I screwed that up."

My mother used to say: "That's Greek to me." Didn't know she was quoting Shakespeare!! (Incidentally, my mother was from Atlanta, Georgia.) I wonder if Mom knew she was quoting the great author? 🤔
In my high school years, I had to learn Romeo & Juliet, Julius Caesar, and MacBeth. Which Shakespeare plays were you required to learn in your school days?
I get to write an "Argumentative" essay on why schools should teach it, I put quotes because WE HAVE TO SAY IT'S IMPORTANT. I literally would fail if I said it shouldnt.
"On quoting Shakespeare" should have been correctly and gratefully attributed to Bernard Levin. Too many in the audience- there in person and here online - might incorrectly assume this gentleman wrote that himself - even though he did a great job, don't misunderstand me. He also fluffed the sonnet ... but the pressure and drama of a TED experience probably threw him off. Good effort.

Hello there
That was the greatest reading of the 18th sonnet I've ever heard. But the audience didn't applaud??
I think the audience was too stunned to move. I've never heard that sonnet interpreted that way before. What a beautiful delivery.
Shut up nerd
Chanced upon this. Not here because of School.
My goodness! this man can act.
He also reminds me of Rowan Atkinson.
"A hard days night," indeed! Good work Christopher. We loved it.

Vivid, illuminating, instructive, agitating, stirring!!! A helpful aid for EFL classes!!!
i love shakespeare so much but i think i also have feelings for mr gaze 👉👈

Shakespeare. What a brilliant mind.
