[QUOTE=Marley23] You’ve never heard anybody complain as much in your life as Tyler did about having to read one act - _a single act!_ - of Romeo and Juliet. I played Capulet as a senior and summed up the first two acts for him in a 175-character text message, but somehow this was an incredible burden on him. He insists he hates Shakespeare, although it’s mostly his way of torturing me. [/QUOTE] Remember, for some kids, Shakespeare, is something you learn to like or love later. I probably would have echoed your brother’s sentiment until I read Scottish Play. Romeo and Juliet is not great reading for a 14 year old. Thanks for the updates and it sounds like you all are doing much better now. Jim ---

An update from Boston: I came up here last night and caught an opening night, midnight screening of The Simpsons Movie with Tyler and my mom. We’re having a great time up here. Tyler has about ten days of treatment left, so he should be done around August 10. The treatments are wearing on Tyler a little bit - he’s hacked up some stuff here and there, and one of his eyes looks irritated - but he’s getting close to done. ---

Tyler and my parents came home a few minutes after 7 Sunday night. I spent the night at home with them, doing the same old things - video games, movies. dinner. I’m taking him to the Yankee game tonight. Thank you to everyone here for your support! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-not-a-tumah-no-wait-it-is/384843.md?page=11)
