10 things I hate about you

Kat Stratford:
"I hate the way you talk to me,
and the way you cut your hair...
I hate the way you drive my car.
I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots,
and the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick;
it even makes me rhyme.
I hate it, I hate the way you're always right.
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh,
even more so when you make me cry.
I hate it when you're not around,
and the fact that you didn't call.
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you.
Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all."

We watched this movie in English class and this poem was so sad. It was said with so much emotion and it was great. The movie is based on the " Taming of the shrew" . Taming of the shrew was a comedy written by Shakespeare. The comedy is about a noblemen who marries a bad tempered shrew named Katherina. He tames her and makes her obedient. The main subplot features the courting of Katherina's more conventional sister Bianca by numerous suitors.

I really enjoyed the movie. It was extremely clever how they incorporated Shakespeare's work into it and made it an entertaining movie for teenagers. The poem is also based on Shakespeare's work. It was a really cool teenage movie.
