Hamlet Survey

Act One
Name: 


  1. Do you believe in ghosts?
    Yes
    No
    Are you crazy?
    I'm not sure.
    I actually think I saw one once.


  1. Do you think a ghost could be a person who died and came back because he/she wants to deliver a message?
    Yes
    Maybe
    Absolutely not because I don't even believe in ghosts.
    I actually think I had that happen to me.
    No way. That's crazy talk.


  1. If you saw a ghost and it looked like one of your friends' relatives who recently passed away, would you tell your friend?
    Absolutely, that's only right.
    Um, no because I'd like to keep my friend.
    That may be the dumbest question I've ever been asked.
    I'd have to think about it.
    I'd get some professional help.


  1. If someone ever hurt one of your family members, would you hurt the person back?
    Yes, not a doubt in my mind.
    No way! Mrs. Jennison, what is wrong with you.
    I'd want to, but I wouldn't. That's not right.
    Heck you could hire me to do it. I could have a business at it.
    I'd do it just if someone breathed wrong on my family.


  1. If a ghost told you to do something, would you consider it?
    Yes
    No
    I'd have to think on that one.
    Again, there are no such things as GHOSTS!!


  1. How much do you know about the play Hamlet?
    Give me the test now.
    Nothing
    A little like there's a guy named Hamlet.
    A fair share.


  1. Hamlet is required reading. Which would you prefer?
    To act it out like we did The Crucible because it's more fun and I understand it better
    To listen to a tape.
    To read it all in the Elizabethan language (the older stuff) right out of the book
    To read it with a mix of modern and older language
    To read it all silently on my own


  1. Do you think reading a play that has themes such as the dangers of procrastinating, being bossed around by adults, and dating dilemmas might be themes that apply to people today?
    Yes, time changes. People don't.
    Nope, can't learn a thing from seeing where others messed up.
    Maybe, might be helpful to learn from others mistakes.


  1. Would you like to have me make green eggs and Ham(let) sometime?
    Food, let me think about it-YES!
    No, don't spend your money. I don't really care that much about it.
    Maybe, might be fun.


  1. The theme appearances can be deceiving is part of this unit. What unit in history has the same theme??
    The Guided Age-all that glitters isn't gold!
    Civil War?
    WW II
    WW I
    I don't know at all!
