Mr. Sullivan, my 12th grade English teacher, made us dress up in Burger King crowns and sword fight with paper towel tubes to make sense of Shakespeare's Hamlet. Here at the American School in Guadalajara we are going to use the internet instead. In the posts below, follow us as we seek to understand why this really is the greatest play in the English language.

I, 4
In Scene 4, what facts emerge from Hamlet’s conversation with Horatio? How close are they?Do we have anyone in our lives who would stand by us like this?
The one's who will stand with us in any situation till the end is our family, especially our parents. Our parents raised, looked out for us, and given us adviced for the future that awaits us. Best Friends Forever (BFF's) are rare to find. Besides I can go up to a random person and say, "Your my BFF for life and don't worry i have your back." Right, like that will ever happen..Well the point is, if you need anyone to talk to, it's your parents.
Everyone has at least one person like parents, friends, family... etc. For some people can be difficult to find one because maybe they lost their family(?) buuut there will always be someone to support you if you try to find one and make one.
Ximena Garcia The way Hamlet reacted when he first saw Horatio, that Horatio traveled a long distance just to be with his friend, and the way Horatio worries about Hamlet, are all facts that proove that Hamlet and Horatio are really close. im sure that my big sister would satnd next to me as well as Ive stood next tio her whenever she has needed me.
Just how Hamlet has Horacio to be his friend, I believe that i am also lucky enough to have a special someone who i can call my true friend, and count on ,in as far as i know, any situation. But it's hard to know how trustworthy your friends can be when you have not yet encountered such difficult situations like Hamlet. so who knows... i guess ill find out once something really crazy happens to be.. and see if my friend even answers the phone =]
Well Horation really cares about Hamlet he didnt want Hamlet to go with the ghost he thought that he would go mad if he did. When they first saw each other you could tell they were really good friends. I have a very special friend of mine that i know if i called her up at 4 in the morning she wouldnt hate me (Breana). I can tell her anything she has my complete trust.
I do have people that would stand for me just like Horatio did for Hamlet. Of course family is always there, but i truly truly know that my parents and sisters will never fail me, and boy have they proven that to me!!! But a friend that i would give my life for and I know I would, is Caro Esqueda. She is the closest person of being a sister, and that is only because genes wont allow us.
Alejandro Gonzalez C> True friends are always beside you in the good and the bad times. They will not worry for their own safety if they have to protect yours. In many ocasions have i been in trouble and before i even ask for help i have seen my friends standing besides me ready to help. When things like that happen you realize that they really care for you and that they are trustworthy

Daniel Gonzalez- For me trustworhy friends are those with which you have shared the most unforgetable moments with and those who've you've seen stand up for you in moments of trouble. But it is also true that if u can count your true friends with just the fingers of one hand, consider yourself the luckiest man on earth.
I dont beleive that some one can be 100% alone. We all have some one such as a family member or some one we can consider like family (close friend). Horatio traveled a long distance just to be with Hamlet because he cares about him. It is exacly the same way my sister Ana is with me. When ever I need something, she takes the next plane or bus to GDL and travels all the way from Mexico city. Just like Horatio with Hamlet.

The relationship between Horatio and Hamlet is a really close one because Horatio traveled a long way just to get to his friend. They seem to be really close almost like family. Best friends are also really good and stay on yoou side many times but there are times when friends are separated and things change and families are always unified and will help you til the end.
Daniela Hamlet and Horatio seem to have a very close relationship, which in this times we would call if BFF(best friends forever). I concider myself very lucky because i have friends in which i can count even if its 3 am. For me these people are like family and i love them a lot. I think it really important to have someone like that, you never feel alone no matter what happens.
