samuel johnson loved shakespeare and is constantly quoting shakespeare. webster buts little black marks next to shakes spear. when webster was a student, students were penalized for attending a play or performing a play, and webster really hates shakespeare, and he rarely quotes shakespeare, but in his 1828 dictionary, he blames shakespeare for the dirty words. so there's a word, and web still with just right shak, shack, as if shakespeare invented it. the 1799 johnson is his base. there's one-third of the definitions he takes from johnson and also adding material. and webster read very widely, and the one thing that johnson is missing is the enlightenment, that the sciences, physics, chemistry, and biology are all exploding at the end of the 18th century, and webster reads everything and added all these new scientific terms. so hi 1828 dictionary has 70,000 words a opposed to 58,000 of the latest edition of johnson. johnson's dictionary had 43,000, the 1755 dictionary. he also uses robert ainsworth, who wrote a latin dictionary. so he is using those as h

and the records what little we know about shakespeare including the records. plays in his playhouse were often the story of how quickly they came off if they didn't work. and they had to move on. they were absolutely led by box office. so there are very many parallels. tavis: more themes i want to ask you about. but since you made a comment a moment ago that made me think about it i should stop for a second and let you -- you've already started to do some of this -- what the storyline here is. for those who haven't seen or heard as yet what it's about. >> sure. thor is the prince of azgod, home. gods. one of nine recommends in the cosmos. that family runs the universe. -- realms in the cosmos. that family runs the universe. at the story thor defies his father in his search to prove himself willing to be an -- and able to be king. his coronation is interrupted by an attack from the frost giants. thor defying his father and says he will see why they did it. in so doing, he creates almost a sort of nuclear war. that provocation means that he's brought back to azg

and finally, this idea of cosmopolitanism, read shakespeare, read milton, read wordsworth and have a sense of the entire world. so what i think is really important to think of here is the way in which when we say black american or african-american, you know, an image immediately comes to mind, and i -- kind of static. what i want to point out is the dynamic process of making identity in this period. people had been kidnapped from and brought enslaved to the new world, to the united states, to america, to the united states, to new york, and they didn't become black-americans or african-americans overnight, but it was a process of struggle. and that was of trying to forge identity, and that was the schooling was all about. so to pass on -- that's circle number one. to pass on circle number two is the black community itself with all the institutions, literary society, political societies, so forth. and i'm not going to spend much time talking about these. we can come back in the q&a period. i will say they're mainly male organizations. women are not members. they're definitely not offic

i had the lead part in a shakespeare play, which meant that i had to be at rehearsal every day. the only room, as paul said, is the activity room that we do that in. it is a small space and i was not really used to be separate theater for the performance. when i got there, i was not used to it. there were different entrances, stairs, and it was a whole new experience, and would have been a lot easier for me if we just had a place where we could all practiced. and also, since the only big space we have is used for other things, too, sometimes our rehearsals are crammed into the eighth grade room, which is very small, or other classrooms. our school does a lot of, like, music performances, and i think that we really need a performance space because we have to, again, car pool to another theater, and our whole school is really affected by that because it takes up so much time and we also have to load in all of the musical instruments and drive them all the way to the theater where we perform and set them up, and it is a big hassle for everyone, including the teachers and students.
