Embraced Part 2

I am basically writing this like I wrote Part 1, without a plan, and seeing where the wind blows me.


**************

I spent the whole of our lunch period sitting at the male-dominated table of Jonathan and his friends. There were a few moments where I contemplated getting up and leaving, because I sensed the guys were holding back from their usual topics of conversation, but I ended up sticking around because Jonathan wouldn't remove his right arm from my body. At the beginning his arm was thrown around my shoulder, and by the end, it had fallen right above my hip. I was sure my face was showing tell-tale signs that this unnerved me, but if it was, nobody was talking about it.

Something I Wrote For My Sister's Homework

Like in the title, I originally wrote this for my sister's English class two years ago (and I realize I was not helping her learn by doing this for her). Since I am the Shakespeare freak (as my mom refers to me), I was the one my sister begged to have write this paper.  I am happy to say, this paper got an awesome grade, which makes me wonder why I couldn't write papers like this one when I was in high school.  I was a slacker in school, but I loved Shakespeare.


Basically, the point of this assignment was to take a quote from the play, and then explain what the character is feeling or thinking, and why it resonates with you.  Basically, pick a quote and explain why it means so much to you.

I decided to pull this essay off one of my three thumb drives and let you read it.  I appreciate all comments anyone leaves.  

Enjoy!
