“Buy Nothing Day” was first organized in Canada to increase awareness of excessive consumerism. It’s a day where people are urged to not purchase any goods for a full 24 hours. However, if this day were to be implemented into the days of American people its intended purpose would not be fulfilled. It would merely raise protests and debate among people and would change nothing in the actions of citizens. Ever since I was born in the United States I was given everything a child should have. My parents

ADO ABOUT NOTHING Title As a title, Much Ado About Nothing fits neatly with those of Shakespeare’s other plays written around the same time: the titles seem whimsical and even flippant. Twelfth Night was alternatively titled What You Will, and As You Like It seems a much less informative title than, say, The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. Still, the capricious titles are actually as reflective of their content as any history or tragedy title. The plot of Much Ado About Nothing centers on
