1. My Renaissance person is William Shakespeare. His career is a playwriter and author.

2. I consider him to be a Renaissance person because he wrote many books that were on plays. He conducted the plays. The plays were the form of entertainment for people during this time. The plays were based on comedy and horror. He also created 1,700 more words during this time.

3. Yes, I think Shakespeare did have an impact on others because many people still read his books and act out his plays today after about 500 years have passed. Everyone loves his poems and plays. I personally learned many new words from reading the book, Romeo and Juliet. He also helped translate the King Jame's Bible for other to read.

4. -What kind of events made Shakespeare write these kinds of stories/plays.

- How do you think Shakespeare came up with 1,700 words/phrases by himself?
