My
wife teaches English, Reading, and Writing at a local middle school. So you
might imagine the interest I had when I came across a compilation of answers supplied
by 6th graders for a history test. (This was from another school in the U. S. about ten years ago.)
I’ll share one with
you. Watch the spelling!
The
greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shakespeare. He was born in the
year 1564, supposedly on his birthday. He never made much money and is famous
only because of his plays. He wrote tragedies, comedies, and hysterectomies,
all in Islamic pentameter. Romeo and Juliet are an example of a heroic couple.
Romeo's last wish was his last wish.
Humanity
doesn’t always get the answers right either. Here’s is just one rebuke from
history, directed at Man’s hubris: We have heard of the pride of Moab—how proud he is!—
of his
arrogance, his pride, and his insolence; in his idle boasting he is not right (Is.
16:6.) ESV
