"Tennis Balls"

Since we read the scene about the tennis balls in class on Wednesday I couldn't get the Henry's speech out of my head. Someone made the suggestion to go onto Youtube to look up portions of the play/movie.

So that's what I did.

I looked up Kenneth Branagh's movie of "Henry V" and found the scene about tennis balls. Classic! I also learned that Mrb Branagh played Henry V in 1985 on stage, a few years before this awesome movie adaptation. :) I loved his intonation in this speech. It really took the play to a whole new level for me hearing someone as talented as Branagh perform it.

Enjoy the awesomeness of Hal!
