Activity 1.4

(the following is the paragraph from the picture, incase you cant read  it)

"So Excellent A king is the Classy, new clothing brand by the RDHS English class of 08-09. As a brand,  S.E.A.K puts an emphasis on style as well as wearability. This is a sample of the business collection."

The connection to "Hamlet" in this magazine ad is the text beside Jay-z "The apparel oft proclaims the man" is spoken by Polonius to his son Laertese in Act I Scene III:

Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportion’d thought his act.
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them unto thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch’d, unfledg’d comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel; but, being in,
Bear’t that the opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice:
Take each man’s censure, but reserve thy judgment.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not express’d in fancy; rich, not gaudy:
For the apparel oft proclaims the man;
And they in France of the best rank and station
Are most select and generous chief in that.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be:
For loan oft loses both itself and friend;
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all,—to thine own self be true;
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
