There are many people in the world. There is not one thing that can please everyone. It may come as a shock to you but not everyone likes the same movies, sports, and music that you do *gasp*. I give you a second to think this through.
Wait for it...

Now that you have finally proceed this valuable information, you can now understand that some people can not stand the rhythm of verse. It may even be to the extent that it becomes a serious issue. This phobia, like most phobias, must have stemmed from a terrifying childhood memory.
Anyways, I got this idea for this post from my English class today. We are just starting to read the play Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare. First, our teacher split us up into the two houses: Capulet and Montague (I am a Montague, the family that Romeo is from). Then he had us create Shakespearean insults which we got to yell at the other house. It was quite fun.
When you first read something that Shakespeare wrote, it is difficult to understand.Today's English is very different from Elizabethan English.
There are so many different forms of entertainment than there was back then. The most common form of entertainment was theater. The Globe Theater in England sat around 2,000 people and the cheapest seats, surprisingly enough, were on the ground.
But as entertainment got more elaborate and complex, theater was left for movies and music. It is so interesting how different forms of art can make such different impressions on people. Some people find classical music relaxing and beautiful while others find it boring and dull. It all depends on your preference.
Here's a fun fact: Shakespeare is credited for creating over 10,000 words in the English language.
Enjoy!
