¡°Life in Stratford-upon-Avon¡±
Dear Journal,
Hello. Life at home on Henley Street today is still as boring as ever. My building is as pretty as ever though, with the big slanted roof. But, I still don¡¯t get to go to school, so I don¡¯t get to learn how to read or write properly. Sure, I can write in my journal everyday, but that¡¯s just for practice so I don¡¯t forget what my father has taught me. My mother tells me that I should be the best that I can be, but how am I supposed to do that without an education? Both my brothers get to go to the King Edward VI Grammar School 5 blocks away. Their headmaster is Thomas Jenkins. My brothers both started school when they were seven. They even get to learn Latin, starting with a Tudor textbook called Lily's Latin Grammar, then studying works of the great classical authors. I know they try and help me when they get home, but they have their chores to do too. And they¡¯re always tired. Their days are very tiring...
