Thanks to breaks, snow days and finals wrapping up, this month was pretty short. We read Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead by Tom Stoppard. I enjoyed this piece, although I couldn't tell you why. Maybe it had to do with its self-aware humor. Maybe it was its like-able, relatable leads. Or maybe the layers of control present. Whatever it was, I loved it.
Our class began working on our theme statement. We knew we had to include control, split personalities between Rosencrantz and Guildenstern and the cyclical nature of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.
This month has been a little low on events. Hopefully next month we won't have a ton of breaks and snow days to stop us.
Nick,
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure we were supposed to talk about everything that we worked on since the last Response to Course Materials post. Like finishing up Hamlet and projects for finals and other stuff.
Good job though! I also really enjoyed R & G are Dead.
Hey Nick,
ReplyDeleteAbby is right. You're supposed to do everything since the last response to course material which was a long time ago. Although what you do have is very good. Your very good at adding your own opinions in. Also I would like to know whether or not you liked the film version of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead and if it helped you with the understanding of the play as a whole? I also really liked the play and I thinks its for all the reasons you mentioned. The humor, likable characters and layers of control.
Hello, Nicholaus.
ReplyDeleteWooJin!
