Summary of 1571: William starts college
William Shakespeare's mother,his very first teacher, taught him how to read and to write. At the age of seven William attended grammar school. Books, history, and other packages of knowledge were passed down from parents to children as a foundation for future learning. Going to school William would have been able to speak in Greek and Latin. He would start school at five in the morning for morning prayers and he would be expected to be at school at six in the morning during the summer and seven in the morning during the winter. At William's school there was no air conditioning but in the winter there was a brazier. William would of had to memorize lots of literature by heart. Shakespeare would have performed plays in both Greek and Latin. The Roman poet Ovid greatly influenced William. William learned to think between the dominant religions of Catholicism and Protestantism. Shakespeare quit school early and never went to college, but he never stopped learning and writing.
the bible summary
The bible is a canonical collection of texts considered sacred to Judaism and Christianity. It is is a collection of books, accepted by Christians as sacred and inspired by God, providing the basis for beliefs about spiritual matters and providing guidelines for moral living. By the second century BCE Jewish groups had called the Bible books "holy," and Christians now commonly call the Old and New Testaments of the Christian Bible "The Holy Bible". Many Christians, however, will refer to the Bible as the "Word of God". Until the fifteenth century, the Bible was available only in Latin. Even when the Bible was translated into other languages, the scarcity
and high cost of Bibles kept them out of the hands of ordinary people. During this time, the Bible was interpreted according to church beliefs and traditions. There was little or no attempt made to determine the original meanings of the Scripture. Difficult passages were interpreted as having a figurative meaning, so that they convey, through a kind of code, deeper truths about God, the spiritual life, or the church. The Bible was divided into chapters in the thirteenth century by Stephen Langton and into verses in the sixteenth century by French printer Robert Estienne and is now usually cited by book, chapter, and verse. I think the bible is about God's miracles and his adventures.

author of the bible
The bible greatly influenced William Shakespeare in his work. The traditional view of both Jews and Christians is that the Bible comes from God, and so at one level he can be said to be its author. Many people contributed to the writing of the Bible. The Bible is a collection of writings from about forty contributors, thirty in the Old Testament and ten in the New Testament. Traditional Judaism and fundamentalist Christianity believe that the text was dictated by God to Moses on Mount Sinai, letter for letter. Moses was, according to the Hebrew Bible and the Qur'an, a religious leader, lawgiver and prophet, to whom the uthorship of the Torah is traditionally attributed. The Gospel of Luke was written by Luke and is the third and longest of the four canonical Gospels. This synoptic gospel is an account of life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. It details his story from the events of his birth to his Ascension.The Gospel of Luke is traditionally identified as Luke the Evangelist. According to tradition the author was Luke the Evangelist, the companion of the Apostle Paul, but many modern scholars have expressed doubt and opinion on the subject is evenly divided. Joshua, like most of the bible, is anonymous. The bible is written by many people but Moses, Luke and Joshua are the main writers.

The importance of the bible to william shakespeare
William Shakespeare was born and raised by a catholic family. People engaged in the catholicism religion study the bible. In 1559, five years before Shakespeare's birth, the Elizabethan Religious Settlement finally severed the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church. Extreme pressure was placed on England's Catholics to accept the practices of the Church of England. I believe that the bible influenced shakespeare because he was raised as a catholic and he was born during the time of the seperating of the churches.
Books that have influenced this generation:
Twilight
Twilight has greatly influenced my generation by making us believe in magical things and realizing that anything is possible when you are in love. There is something about undying love and magical creatures that captures my generation. The Twilight series also may have made more people interested in immortal creatures.
The hunger games
The Hunger Games has greatly influenced my generation because it as an action romance. The plot is the opposite of what life is really like. It captures the audience because the audience wants to know what it is like to live in a way that is so horrific. The Hunger Games also has a pair of "star-crossed lovers" that captures the audience because the couple is willing to risk their own lives just to be with each other.
Harry Potter
Harry Potter has influenced my generation because it gives the illusion that any normal kid could become a wizard. Harry Potter makes kids get more creative and actually believe that maybe they do have super powers. Harry Potter like any other story written in my generation has a love story that is unlikely but completely heart wrenching.
seventeen magazine
Seventeen magazine has impacted the girls in my generation incredibly. Seventeen magazine is full of hair tips, clothes, weight management, makeup products, and everything you can think of that a teenage girl would be interested in. The magazine has influeced my generation because it has given girls the idea that if they are not perfect then they are not worth it. You have to be pretty to be cool.
