William Shakespeare

With his 29 all time best plays,154 sonnets and two long poems William Shakespeare can be named as the father of the English Literature itself. I personally started to hear about Shakespeare when i was in high school but never had to chance to know him this close. When i get to know more about him i learn that his contributions to the English literature is remarkable and absolutely unmatched. Shakespeare is called the greatest author in the English language. Even Shakespeare was writing to make a living and he did not aim to impress someone he brought new definitions to words so Shakespeare's writings greatly influenced the English language. At this point i think he not only made things to be searched for literature experts but also for linguists. With his introduction of new vocabulary and phrases Williams Shakespeare enriched the English language and made it more colorful,lively and expressive.
Phrases like made up by Shakespeare are still in use when we think about our conversations today. Even i personally never heard of them here some phrases like "seen better days, strange bedfellows, a sorry sight,"and "full circle". I could not attend the class when our topic was William Shakespeare but I am sure that class must have been very lively,colorful and expressive  as Shakespeare's outstanding writings.
