Translation of Hamlets First Soliloquy

He wished that he could disappear or that he could commit suicide. Everything about life seemed flat/useless. It seemed like the world was a place where only bad and ugly thrived. He couldn't believe that his father was gone. His father was a much better king than the one they now have, his uncle. It was even harder to believe that within a month of the death of his father his mom was now with his uncle. Even though Hamlet's father had loved his wife so much she didn't take time to mourn. He doesn't think things will end well but Hamlet knows he can not speak out about it.

For example King states "She reached in and took out a h...

I'm In Charge

Some high school students need to be told what to do all the time and reminded or threatened when they don't get the job done.  Independent work can be challenging, but I like it because it allows me to show what I know on my own. It also can be a little less difficult due to the fact that I don't have to communicate with others to get work done or rely on other people to do their parts. However, independent work can be difficult without teachers constantly reminding us of what to do due to many people having the tendency to procrastinate. This teaches us to be responsible especially since once we leave high school no one will constantly be reminding us of what we need to do.
