"Who Was Shakespeare?"

It is said that William Shakespeare's actual birth day is unknown, but it is traditionally celebrated on the 23rd of April. We know he was intelligent due to his schooling. He began school at the age of 6 at

Stratford grammar school. Today's students dread the thought of Shakespeare. We relate his work to somthing boring and unnecessary. After beginning his famous play Hamlet, I realized that aside from the confusing words, the characters and events are very interesting. They sucked me in and want me to keep reading the rest of the play.  What still causes me struggles is the diction and syntax. Some of the words he uses are no longer used today.
