Our Day in Washington D.C.

During our day in D.C., I thought that watching the actors and actresses at the Folger's Theater was very interesting. I don't know how they could have ever memorized all of those lines from all of the plays that Shakespeare wrote! I thought that they did a great job of performing but I also liked how they interacted with the audience. The audience also did a good job of acting along with the professionals. My favorite part of the show was when they did the scene where they brought up 13 people from the audience and they all pretended to die after they got stabbed. It was really funny to see how the people would fall to the floor. I also thought the male actor did a good job of connecting with the audience through body language. That part helped me learn and interpret Shakespeare in a way that I never thought would help me. I also liked walking around Union Station because there were so many cool things to see there. The food was also very good. I thought the walk through D.C. was a bit far, especially when it was kind of hot out. It was also interesting to see the Capitol building and I even got to see the Washington Monument. It would have been better if we were able to do more, but this trip was way better than going to school.
