Shakespeare sources

http://www.opensourceshakespeare.org/ this source talks about his life and what may have happened during the "lost years". http://shakespeare.palomar.edu/sources.htm this source talks about his sonnets and such. http://www.folger.edu/eduPrimSrcArch.cfm this source talks primarily about his plays. http://pages.towson.edu/quick/romeoandjuliet/sources.htm this source talks mainly of Romeo & Juliet http://www.pbs.org/shakespeare/educators/primary/indepth.html this source talks about all of the plays in depth. this is the source that I would use because it doesn't discriminate against any of his plays. nice one Devin, these will be helpful when I do research on Shakespeare

connections

The play, A Raisin in the Sun, has no connecting towards me what so ever. but it has major connections with my Dad. he grew up in Sparta Illinois with eight other siblings. my dad being the youngest male. My grandfather worked two jobs and only brought home enough money to put food on the table and pay bills. he ran a farm on the side to there would be extra food. According to my Dad, they had it better than most black families in the area. My grandma would always give my dad some money when he went out with his friends, a 10 year old with 10 dollars back in '66 was real good money to his peers and to him. Grandpa never knew she did such a thing though. my dad also lost a lot of money a few years later when he was eighteen to gambling, 1500 dollars was lost playing poker. Hi Andres. I'm sure my grandfather remembers some of those things as well. i couldn't imagine getting just an orange for Christmas.

Hi, my name is Byron, and I'm a nuclear physicist, i design bombs and i have become a multi billionaire and have my own massive base the size of Carbondale, Illinois on the moon with major stores of food underground in caverns. there is no need for spacesuits where i am. i have figured out a way to use nuclear energy to create an artificial atmosphere in and around my base. no need for extra oxygen, filters recycle the carbon dioxide and convert them to clean oxygen. A typical day in my life is walking my pet leviathan, helping my brother work the farm, which is located underground, i cook steaks everyday with my son. and my butler ,who is also a mechanic, built me the batmobile. i moved all my friends and family to the moon and my life is set
