  • As You Like It
    A TEACHER’S GUIDE TO THE SIGNET CLASSIC EDITION OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE’S AS YOU LIKE IT By JEANNE M. McGLINN, Ph.D., AND JAMES E. McGLINN, Ed.D. SERIES EDITORS: W. GEIGER ELLIS, ED.D., UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, EMERITUS and ARTHEA J. S. REED, PH.D., UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, RETIRED A Teacher’s Guide to the Signet Classic Edition of William Shakespeare’s As You Like It 2 INTRODUCTION Shakespeare seems to be everywhere these days. Romeo and Juliet and Midsummer Night's Dream, starring contemporary movie stars, have been box office hits. The film Shakespeare in Love, depicting how the playwright's experiences inspired him to write Romeo and Juliet, won multiple Oscars at the 1999 Academy Awards. These popular films have made the plays more accessible to students by exposing them to Elizabethan language and the action that brings the words to life. So teachers can expect a certain amount of positive interest among students when they begin to read a Shakespearean play. As You Like It, although not well known by students, will certainly delight and build on students' positive expectations. As You Like It, like Twelfth Night and A Midsummer Night's Dream, is one of Shakespeare's "marriage" comedies in which love's complications end in recognition of the true identity of the lovers and celebration in marriage. This is a pattern still followed in today's romantic comedies. This play can lead to discussions of the nature of true love versus romantic love. Other themes, which spin off from the duality between the real and unreal, include appearance versus reality, nature ver- sus fortune, and court life of sophisticated manners contrasted with the natural life.

[1] Drink to me only Thou alone art my delight. Text: Ben Jonson (1573–1637) Come love be my heart of gold And who but my Lady Greensleeves. Drink to me only with thine eyes, And I will pledge with mine; Oh who is sweet as she is sweet Or leave a kiss within the cup Above all things that mortals prize: And I’ll not ask for wine. I’d lay a kingdom at her feet The thirst that from the soul doth rise Nor seek a richer merchandise. Doth ask a drink divine; But might I of Jove’s nectar sup, Come love be all my joy I would not change for thine. Thou alone art my delight, Come love be my heart of gold, I sent thee late a rosy wreath, And who but my Lady Greensleeves. Not so much honouring thee, As giving it a hope that there Oh who is rare as she is rare It could not withered be. And who is such a charming maid. But thou thereon didst only breathe The lute shall tell her my despair And sent’st it back to me; And fill with song the myrtle shade. Since when it grows, and smells, I swear, Not of itself but thee. Come love be all my joy Thou alone art my delight, [2] Over the mountains Come love be my heart of gold, Text: From Percy’s Reliques, And who but my Lady Greensleeves.

  • The Piano Lesson
    THE PIANO LESSON Synopsis The Piano Lesson is set in Pittsburgh in 1936. Boy Willie has come to his uncle’s house to retrieve a piano that holds significant historical and sentimental value to the family. A battle ensues over the possession of the piano, which carries the legacy and opportunities of the characters and determines the choices they must make. Characters AVERY: Thirty-eight years old, Avery is a preacher who is trying to build up his congregation. He is honest and ambitious, finding himself opportunities in the city that were unavailable to him in rural areas of the South. While fervently religious, he manages to find the time to court Berniece after her husband’s death. BOY WILLIE: Brother to Berniece, Boy Willie is a thirty year old brash, impulsive, and fast-talking man. He has an infectious grin and a boyishness that is apt for his name. His story provides the central conflict for the play in that he plans to sell the family piano in order to buy land that his family worked on as slaves. He feels it’s important he does this in order to avenge his father, who grew up property-less— but not everyone in the family agrees. LYMON: Boy Willie’s long time friend is a twenty-nine year old who speaks little, but when he does with a disarming straight-forwardness. As he flees the law, he makes a plan to begin anew in the North. Eliciting stories from the families past, Lymon proves a vehicle by which we learn about the family.

    A reading from Song of Songs (Pause) My lover speaks and says to me, “Arise, my friend, my beautiful one, and come! For see, the winter is past, the rains are over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of pruning the vines has come, and the song of the turtledove is heard in our land. The fig tree puts forth its figs, and the vines, in bloom, give forth fragrance. Arise, my friend, my beautiful one, and come! (Pause) The word of the Lord 2:10‐13 A reading from the Book of Genesis (PAUSE) Then God said: “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and the cattle, and over all the wild animals and all the creatures that crawl on the ground.” God created man in his image; in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. God blessed them, saying: “Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and all the living things that move on the earth.” God looked at everything he had made, and he found it very good.

    Eurovision Song Contest 2019 - Semi 1 www.bjornnordlund.com Björn Nordlund - 10 maj 2019 EUROVISION SONG CONTEST 2019 SEMI 1 - WWW.BJORNNORDLUND.COM 1" Introduction So its finally time for my personal Formula 1, my take on the Olympics or if you want it to be the vote more important than the upcoming EU elections. The show we all love to hate and the opportunity to disagree on something that engage and still means nothing. You can discuss religion or politics and never speak to your ”friend” again but have different views on a song in Eurovision won’t change the friendship even if you actually think your friends lost it forever. Never forget that we discuss taste here and its individual so agree, disagree and enjoy. You who know me You who know me know that I have followed the Eurovision Song Contest every year since 1971, the year I actually remember I watched the contest for the first time and maybe the reason why I got stucked is up to the fact that my favorite song won that year. Monaco, Severine, ”Un banc, un Abre, une rue”. Since then Eurovision changed a lot and honestly not always to the better and there are rules and trends now in 2019 I don’t agree upon at all but to be fair to the participants and the songs the upcoming pages with comments are not taking this into account, its another discussion. On the upcoming pages you will find my view on the 2019 songs together with a guess on the results.

  • New Orleans Love Songs
    New Orleans Love Songs As Valentine’s Day approaches, it is an appropriate time to take stock of the love songs recorded by New Orleans artists, as well as other tunes romantically connected with this great metropolis. In no particular order, here are just a few of the Crescent City’s great love songs. NECCO style Valentine candy hearts by Lakeview couple Cherie Melancon Franz and her husband Arthur – photo by Thinkerella Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans One of the great love songs to New Orleans, Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans, was written by two Yankees. The song’s lyricist, Eddie DeLange, was from Long Island, New York, and composer Louis Alter was born in Haverhill, Massachusetts. “Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans And miss it each night and day? I know I’m not wrong, the feeling’s getting stronger The longer I stay away. Miss the moss-covered vines, the tall sugar pines, Where mockingbirds used to sing. And I’d like to see the lazy Mississippi A-hurryin’ into Spring. Oh, the Mardi Gras, the memories Of Creole tunes that fill the air. I dream of oleanders in June, And soon I’m wishin’ that I were there. Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans When that’s where you left your heart? And there’s something more: I miss the one I care for More than I miss New Orleans.” Louis Armstrong truly owned the song (he and Billie Holiday introduced it in the 1947 film New Orleans), but some of the lyrics (albeit evocative and beautiful) just don’t make any sense.
