In such a course, generally five of Shakespeare's plays are studied. Hamlet generally included.Sentence Paraphrase•Three weeks later he came into my office with his hands on his hips. “Look,” he said, "I came here to be a pharmacist. Why do I have to read this stuff?“ (1)•with his hands on his hips: This shows that the student wasn‘t carrying anything, and what’s more, this business-minded young man came to challenge his instructor, like a customer questioning the goods or service they have bought.Sentence Paraphrase•New as I was to the faculty, I could have told this specimen a number of things·(2)•Though I was a new teacher, I knew I could tell him what "university w as for.
