Summary

• Shakespeare had an unique childhood, Even though
  it was kind of tough back in 1564. He was the
  third child out of seven kids, so we think that
  he didnt get treated fairly. Most of his
  brothers and sisters died at a young age so he
  experienced death at a young age. Research shows
  that he was smart and successful and without him
  we wouldnt be here talking about this today ! !
