What are the most important concepts that you took away from reading Hamlet?
The most important concepts that I got from reading Hamlet the play, was that not every story has to have a happily ever after ending to it. It could just be basically what reality was doing to them and how in real life it could end up in. This to me was very interesting because I had never really thought of a story that could have that kind of a tragedy in it since every story foreshadows a happy ending. Another thing that goes into this is the way Shakespeare wanted to make his characters, they were really wierd but had reason to be, in a certain way they were from the situations that they went through which made them act like they did. I picked up on this really quickly and figured that when you want to make a character interesting or more into the story give him a very non common role that not everyone sees everyday.This pulled me in very quickly and gave me a different perspective on the way the characters in story treat the other characters.

What are the most significant concepts that you learned from creating your digital essay?
The most significant concepts that I learned from creating my digital essay would have to be the way of the whole process and how everything was planned out from the beginning and rushed at the end. I learned that responsibility had to be enforced more. This could have helped us more in the process of finishing our digital essay. Even though we were responsible, we just weren't quite as much dedicated to it then we should have been. Another concept that I learned from the digital essay was that even though it was a short video that reflected the answers to our questions, it was also something that I had fun doing because I got to act out parts that were very interesting and out of my own personality.
