Read the excerpt from "The Players." Whenever I spot them around school
with their horns, I think about
how silly it looks, and I think
they need someone to blow down
their too cool fronts, to show
them they aren't that different
from the rest of us who run,
throw, and jump in the hot
sun.

Which word best describes the tone of the excerpt?

What does the author see as the main cause for why students don’t really see shakespeare as a real, flawed human being? we shouldn’t shy away from discussing our literary heroes’ flaws. if nothing else, the knowledge of their failures us appreciate what success and greatness these authors did achieve. often our hero-worship keeps us from truly seeing the complexity of a great author. thus, i would argue, nothing would be better for high school students than to take shakespeare down a peg or two. a) the fact that students never learn enough about shakespeares biography b) the fact that students only read shakespeare’s comedies while in school c) the fact that students are never assigned to read any shakespeare while in high school d) the fact that students only read shakespeare’s greatest works in school and thus never see his weaknesses
