So in class we are reading Shakespeare and so here’s what we’ve read so far.First we meet Orlando and Oliver,two brothers who are fighting because the youngest(Orlando) is mad because he isn’t being treated very well and wants a better life or the money to go find his fortunes  elsewere.The oldest one is outraged and tries to get his younger brother killed by fixing him up for a fight with the Dukes best wrestler.Orlando actually wins the fight and recieves the prize money and the honor.But when he returns home he is informed that his brother is about to burn down the place where he lives so he runs away to the forest of Arden with his old srevant.Meanwhile we meet Rosalind the daughter of banished Duke Seinor,who was banished by Duke Fredrick the father of Celia,who is cousin and best friend to Rosalind and the reason why Rosalind can stay.When the evil Duke also banishes Rosalind,celia also comes along and they steal the clown Touchstone,change their names to Ganymede(rosalind) and Ailiena(Celia) and go to the forest of arden to find Rosalind’s father and live with him.One last thing,at the wrestling match Rosalind meets orlando and falls in love with him.In the forest,they meet Corin and silvious,two sheperds who they enlist to help celia who is having trouble with the long walk(so is Rosalind but she can’t have help lest she ruin her discuise as a man).We also meet the Duke seinor and his lords who are looking for the lost jaques and we also meet Audry a girl about to marry a lord.
