PRINCE is gone!!!! It was last Thursday that PRINCE the musical icon died unexpectedly . It was PRINCE , the Fanky, the ONE and Only! We are not aware of how important and great some people in our everyday life are, until they dissapear for good! Prince was a great musician, a great person and a great showman! We are lucky we can still enjoy some of his work and music!!!
He was a pioneer ! A visionary! He knew what was important and fought for it! There are many legendary moments from the singer-songwriter's career worth watching and remembering in tribute after his passing. And one of them is NFL-related, with Prince absolutely tearing down the house at Super Bowl XLI in what may be the greatest halftime performance ever.
A more serious Prince can be watched in this 2013 insparing interview.
Today, the 23rd of April 2016, we commemorate 400 years since the death of the great playwright William Shakespeare. From comedy to history, tragedy to sonnet, there is no doubting the influence Shakespeare has had on the literary world.
There’s no need to head for The Globe this weekend, we can have the very best of Shakespeare, classic and contemporary, his life and works just a click away!!!
But we, at Sagasta, are certainly celebrating it our own way!!! Our 1st IB students have done a superb job and prepared a handmade book for everybody to read. They have paid special attention to the following points:
The Globe and Shakespeare´s pronounciation, David Crystal gives a more sophisticated explanation of how Shakespeare spoke and explains how the OP, Original Pronounciation works, and how much we are loosing of Shakespeare texts if we listen to them in Modern English pronounciation.
We have a little bit of everything here! What about some insults by Shakespeare??? From Fishmonger to Bite your thumb!
Let´s finish with some very famous Shakespeare´s quotes:
