Today's class is always a messy one but you attended to details effortlessly as usual.
It is a mess creating new thoughts. Your essay is not a regurgitation, right?
Your essay is an interpretation: a creative act. You are telling the reader how to interpret the play, similar to the way Zefferelli created and directed the film version that we watched.
If you neglect to move beyond plot or simple character traits, the essay will not inspire you.
If you are inspired to write it, your reader will be inspired to read it.
Next class, I will return your introductions and we will write the body paragraphs. Arrive ready to create.
Bring all your materials.
Essay is due Tues. June 5th. BONUS: Attend Writing 12s poetry launch the night before in the lecture theatre and I'll add that effort to your essay mark. It will be an inspiring evening and there is food and door prizes and you can buy the book.
