what do I think when I hear that we are going to read shakespeare

When I hear that we are going to read Shakespeare, I groan. Who would want to read Shakespeare? Not me! You hear people quoting him, and he sounds complicated. I've had to do a little Shakespeare before, and I am really not interested in doing it again. I've also heard that he makes up his owns words, so you have to pretty much figure out what he means.
I guess I react the way I do because it's just in teenage nature to hate Shakespeare, and just reading in general. You hear about Romeo and Juliet, how it's supposed to be a romance, but really, it is a tragedy. Who wants to hear about two teenagers being stupid and killing themselves? I really don't.
I really don't like reading all that much anyway, and if we are assigned to read the book, then it is a given that I will REALLY not want to read his works. He's an old guy too. They talked really differen back then, it's so hard to understand him. That is why I really don't want to read Shakespeare.
