Poetry HW for 4/14, and Mimicking Fiction

For Tuesday, 4/14:

Read pages 398-415, as we will begin discussing the poetry.

Also, I am giving an extra day for the Mimicking Drama (assigned below) assignment. It will be due on Thursday, April 16th (a week from this post):

Mimicking Drama (Plays, : ) ):

We've read three plays that deal with similar themes but written in different eras, on different cultures. Each play, we can agree, revolves around a central conflict in the plot. In Oedipus, the King is in conflict with his own fate. In The Piano Lesson family history and a family heirloom are fought over. In A Doll House we are introduced to another Modern social issue -- marital conflict/ gender equality.

You may choose to imitate any of our three authors, or honor your own favorite playwright.

The main qualification is that you write ONE SCENE (1-3 pages, single-spaced) that discusses/enlightens audience on the main conflict between two characters.

The only other thing is obvious: in a play, dialogue is key. Write in the appropriate dialect for your play scene's setting.
