Talk:King of Shadows

Information
'''The book gives great information for studies of 16 and 17th century england. Pages 37 and 38 accurately describe the city, and there are small facts throughout the novel. It is also useful for studies of old english language and to review the clothing worn in that period. It Shows the life of a young man and how he lived and acted in the 16th and 17th century. It is a good all-round read, it teaches and is partially entertaining in my opinion. It rocks. I recommend it to anyone who would like to Know more about What Living in the shakespearean Era would be like. --Will James 08:32, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Scrit?
"Richard 'Arby' Babbage

The parallel to the Richard Burbage in Elizabethan times, Arby is the boss of the Company of Boys. He is known to be strict and hard, but near the end of the story he helps Nat deal with his loss of Shakespeare. Arby is scrit and has a temper. He is the boss and is very bossy."

Who is Richard Burbage - is this someone Nat meets in the Elizabethan period? What is the Company of Boys - the present day theatre company? and what on earth does scrit mean? If you're going to talk about things like this you need to say first of all who or what they are for the benefit of those who haven't read the book. Also remember that this is going to be read by people from all over the world, so don't use colloquialisms like "scrit" as a large number of your readers will have no idea what you're talking about. I had to look it up and it appears to mean stupid, or something similar. And as for "he is the boss and very bossy", first of all you need to use his proper title rather than calling him "the boss" and as you've already said he's strict and hard it seems a bit pointless to say the same thing again, but phrased differently.

King of Shadows
I have just started reading this book in my english class but none of us really get it yet, as it starts off boring but we are all hoping it gets better as all books do.

Do you think that you possibly tell me what happes in chapter 4 as I am dying to know and my teacher has banned me from reading it as I am loud and he thinks that I am rude which I am and that I shouldn't be allowed to do any fun things because I spoil them for everyone else:-)

1599 characters
Richard Burbage, William Shakespeare, Roper, Queen Elizabeth I, Will Kempe, Richard Mulcaster (end quote)
 * 1599

So we have four or five --pending Richard Mulcaster, whose name a visitor inserted this afternoon-- appearances by WP:NOTABLE people of 1599. I think they should appear in the plot summary, which should thus be expanded in some respects (maybe abridged in others). --P64 (talk) 20:35, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
