King Lear was the father of two sons and a daughter.The eldest was one of his sons named Gon,who often though with the slightly younger middle child Regan his only daughter,He was a very sporty boy who played lots of contact sports such as rugby and ice hockey along with american football.Regan was very popular at school but over the years her popularity got to her head so now she feels like she’s constantly on cloud nine and that every body else who’s not in her posse are invisible.Then there was the youngest son who played football and was quite good at it but was very small and puny so he always remained.
KING LEAR
I have divided up my comapanies so that I can split them three ways.Well before I decide who I give my very well known away.Who will convince me to give up my company as I slowly crawl to my death and pass on my legacy as an entrepreneur to younger strengths who can carry on my business for many years after I die.
GON
Father I love you more than if I were to win the NFL and the Ruby world cup all in one week . I love you more than the ability to run,walk and throw. I love you more than any material pleasure u could ever dream of and more than my wife and children.
GONS WIFE
Honey,do you really mean that?
GON
Shhhhhh,dear I’m speaking to paps man can’t you leave me alone well talk about this at home.
CORDELIES
What shall I do lie lie like my siblings and take a great pleasure or be honest and hope that my father see the good and honesty and give me the largest area of the company rather than to my brother and sister for being dishonest?
KING LEAR
I’ve heard enough where’s my beloved Regan si that I may continue dividing up my brands to my lovely children. Bring her before me.
REGANI
I can only express my love for you as my older brothers but with my hobbies and instead of my ability to walk,run and throw but rather lose my popularity . There is only one other way that I can express my love for you at that is to say I love you daddy almost as much as I love myself . My brother loves you greatly bit not as much as me he falls at the last hurdle of love whereas I swiftly rip through the finish line at the end of the race.
CORDELIAS
What should I do lie or be honest . And I like I’m doing the right thing even though He’d rather see my love expressed to him or would he rather me to describe my love fo ryou such as how you’ll rather see a person score a hat rick rather than listen to the commentators.
I’ll
KING LEAR
”A goal and it just a goal whether you here it or see it”.(King Lear moves to the window and looks out of it
CORDELIUS
(Cordelius moves towards the audience and and quietly says) ”then what should poor little Cordelius do.I show my true love and get no recognition so should I pretend I love him but are my words more loving then my heart.
After spending time contemplating whether or not she should change her answer to the kinds word she goes of to him and says’Nothing’
For that reason king Lear speaks up to the whole court and publicly announces that she is forever banished.

Harlem, I really enjoyed reading this modern interpretation. You have captured elements of the original play but have placed them into a new context successfully.
Targets:
1) This isn’t fully finished. It needs to be 500 words to unlock a badge.
2) Could you include some stage directions to tell your actors how to perform certain lines or what actions need to accompany the dialogue?
3) You need to check some basic typo errors.
4) You need to ensure that your sentences are fully formed. At times, you are using subordinate clauses as independent ones.
