Our blue mini-van slowly reached its destination. The door quickly slid open and two creatures fell out presenting their lewd appearances. They seemed tired, no that wasn't it, it was more like the word enthusiasm didn't exist in their vocabulary, or half of their brain is missing and they only have the ability to sluggishly move their bodies, moan and slur their words.

actors; the statements suggest that because actors have not experienced what Hamlet had, they are incompetent to play the role. “They have not exactly seen their fathers killed..” suggest that in order to play Hamlet, one must know how he felt. Halfway through the poem by acknowledging why “they all want to play Hamlet,” the tone shifts to empathetic because the poet can relate to actors who seek accolades and recognition, but not to the situation. Sandburg can relate to wanting accolades because as a writer he seeks them as well. However the tone is…
